Temp now reads 101F. Impossible. Felt the fermenter and it's cold to the touch as the room temp is now 64F. The thermometer must be defective somehow, but reads the indoor temp correctly. The probe is ok for liquids as I have 4 others that work just fine for over 3 years. Got a bad one I think.

I'm at 5 days in the primary fermenter bucket. My indoor/outdoor thermometer says it's 99 Degrees F in the bucket (probe is in the liquid), while the ambient temperature of the house is 68 F. I know fermenting increases the temp, but 30 degrees? Sounds impossible? Replaced the battery, same...

Used a Belgian Wit kit that had DME and LME, Blue Moon clone. (thread about adding the peach flavoring of this batch below) https://www.homebrewtalk.com/forum/threads/adding-fruit-flavored-syrup-before-bottling.646806/#post-8247547 I attempted using BSG fuit flavoring to a 5 gallon batch of...

Only two pumps for the wife? Hmm.

I attempted using BSG fuit flavoring to a 5 gallon batch of Belgian Ale (blue moon clone), poured 75% in 9 days into the first fermenting bucket, then poured the last 25% in the day of bottling. Did not taste any flavoring beyond the normal bitter orange peel that came with the kit. Now I'm...

Whew!!!! Thought I really screwed up this time. It's a Belgian Wit with Apricot/Peach liquid flavoring. What is in the nutrient packet?

Ok, so it's been 2 years since I used Wyeast and I didn't know they had an "internal nutrient packet" in their liquid yeast. I brewed a batch, pitched the Wyeast liquid yeast, fermented, secondary fermented and bottled already, it's now in the second week of bottle conditioning. Does this mean...

Cool, guess I'll know for sure in about a month. Added some peach flavoring as well. Yea!

Hadn't brewed for about a year, used a Belgian Wit Brewer's Best clone kit. Wasn't paying attention and I poured in the liquid DME into the hot water when it was actually time to steep the grains. No way to fix it at that point, so I continued the rest of the recipe as usual, steeping the...

Added 75% of the bottle. Will find out in a couple weeks what the happs are.

Attempting to add BSG peach flavoring to a 5 gallons of Belgian Wit ale today, we are 6 days into fermenting. Anyone know how much to add to get a medium/strong flavor in the beer? I like the strength of the Blue Moon Apricot flavor, so I'm looking for something similar. I tried adding...

Post your 6.5 gal carboy dimensions.

The Danby can easily freeze beer or food. I've seen 29 degrees F. And the knob was only half way down. The temp swings can be fixed with the thermostat adjuster that most ppl recommend on HBT. It costs about $80. I never got one, and I just found the perfect range for my kegerator, always just...

Doh!:o I meant to say that the measurements are conservative - meaning that the real measurements are slightly larger than what I just posted. But only by a fraction of an inch any direction. Go Pokes!!!:o
