    Closed loop CFC chiller

    I currently am using only an immersion chiller with tap water. Tap water here in Texas this time of year just aint cool. SO, i am wanting to put together a better means to cool some wort. I have read many threads but still not sure i saw exactly what i have in mind. I want to take a 5 gallon...

    Fan in my Keezer Question

    Yes but still would need a power strip to plug in freezer and possibly dehumidifier. Am I over complicating things?

    Fan in my Keezer Question

    I am building a keezer and like your idea of temp controller running a power strip. Then anything plugged in the power strip can be controlled by temp controller. Can you share how this was wired in?

    Built in Power Burner

    "Power Burner" i guess is the name used to market something more than the standard side burner typically built in . The typical standard side burners run from 15000 btu to possibly 30000 btu and start at about $250. In order to get up over 50,000 btu the built in versions are marketed as power...

    Built in Power Burner

    I am building in an outdoor grill and was curious if anyone can recommend a particular power burner to build in as well for homebrew and nice shrimp boil.

    Looking for fairly new Keezer (Texas)

    Keg Force Carbing Methods Illustrated

    To Repitch or not to Repitch

    I am brewing my first lager. I have tried to be very diligent in following the lagering temp steps. Final step was for 28 days at 35 degrees. Will yeast (saflager s-23)still be viable for carbonation? Planning on 3 week bottle conditioning at 60 degrees or so but need advice on that part as...

    Noob's first brew questions

    Batch #2 Amber Ale is drinkable but still far from good in my opinion. Wifey says i am my harshest critic to which my response is "and i should be". ANyway, both my 1st and 2nd batches had similar characteristics of being too thin and very little mouthfeel in my opinion. Good head on the...

    Temp gauge location too high

    I will most certainly boil more next time. My wort chiller was only 50% submerged so it wasn't at full efficiency there either. I look forward to my NEXT batch already.
