So now it's too late for me to start a bottle operation, so I'm thinking I'll leave till morning and bottle it then. I'll just do my typical 4oz of priming sugar and roll with it. Thanks for the replies!

So a bit of an odd one here: I recently brewed Morebeer's Pliny the Elder clone, as the extract version. It ended up fermenting for a long time because I kept putting it off. It was about a month in the primary, then I dry hopped and racked to a secondary where it lived for two weeks. I used...

Yep, go with the STC-1000. You can get it on Amazon now for about 17 or 18 bucks for the controller. It's really easy to wire if you have any experience at all and works great! I just hooked mine up to my "new" $50 freezer that I'm using as a ferm chamber and am loving it! Took a bit to get...

Yep, as long as all you need is straight 220, and assuming you have 12 guage wire you can switch over to 220. However, much equipment required a neutral as well, in which case you would have to pull wire. And as a point of order, I imagine you are asking the question because you desire to get...

I'm not an electrician but have done a lot of electrical and worked with a lot of electricians. It depends on what amount and what for of 240 you're looking for. If it's just 20 amps of 240 with no neutral needed then it should be pretty minimal. In that scenario all that needs to be done...

Has anyone seen or used one of these yet? Seems like a really good deal for an all grain set up with automation and almost everything necessary to get brewing. I haven't seen any discussion on it yet, so I thought I'd get one going. Any issues you can see with the way they have it set up?

I've spent more hours on both of those than I'd like to admit, but haven't seen whether there is just a cheap plug and play temp sensor/switch that would work for what I want to do. It seems like most are building elaborate control panels to fully automate. While I like the idea of a control...

Well this year is the year that I will build my home brewery! I'm starting to put together the plans for how I will construct my brewery and would love any help I can get. So I think I've wrapped my mind around what sort of brewery I'll put together; now I just have to figure out the how...

I've been reading the forum for a little while and thought I would finally join in. I just got back into brewing after a few years with none. I once had a 3 tier brewery that a friend and I built, but lost it when the friendship went bad. So now I'm starting up from scratch with extract...
