I use a dorm fridge. My plastic bucket fits nicely into the fridge and the internal temp control lets me keep the temp at 50 degrees. Once the primary fermentation is complete, I set the beer in the laundry for a diastyl (not sure about spelling) rest for a couple of days, then off to the keg...

I was really dissappointed:(. I had to brew another for the upcomming celebration, it will not be the same.

Pepsi..... No, really.. A pepsi.

In my case, specifically, I am a licensed soccer referee. When I referee games I make anywhere between $35 and $75 depending on the level and duration of the match. There are soccer games to be refereed going on all the time, weekdays weekends, evenings..... almost always. So for me, choosing...
