Wow that is some pretty great distance on the Bluetooth. I am definitely going to consider this.

This seems awesome. What's the distance the Bluetooth will work on this? How far outside the fermentation chamber can I have my Raspberry Pi?

I really like this idea. Quick question, how is the plywood shell attached to the lid and 3 sides of the freezer?

Yeah BIAB would work definitely

Hi all, soon I will have a new setup with 3 20 gallon kettles, but I have an 8 gallon kettle I want to keep and out to use still, is there anything you guys can think of for how to use an extra kettle? I was thinking a grant but it is probably too large in diameter for that.

Nice snark you got there. Yeah a nice golf clap for discoveries that have objectively changed the course of history, saved countless lives, improved the quality of life of millions of people, created new technologies that would make every piece of technology you use possible, developed new...

Here's a short list of discoveries and theories that came from Berkeley: -Discovery of Vitamin E -Discovery and synthesis of Vitamin K -Modern statistical theory -The discovery and production of plutonium (among many other elements discovered at Berkeley) -The first ever crystallization and...

Thanks everyone. It sounds like I may just try out the combined method hilts described but the first thing will be to just grab some nice hop bags. And thanks, IslandLizard, for testing all of the methods I was looking up out for me, saves me lots of time!

My fiancee bought me a Blichmann Therminator for my birthday. Previously, I had been using an IC, but I really like the plate chiller. The only problem is that I have gotten it clogged multiple times, even with a good whirlpool before attaching the chiller. Is the only other thing I can do is to...

Great, that makes it much easier as that's only a couple of miles from my work. Thanks!

Thanks for the input I will definitely do that.

Okay so that sounds like the plan then I think, force carb them in the keezer then let them age in the basement for long periods. and yeah, I was surprised he said I could just take them. He said that he stopped brewing awhile back and just has them in storage. It totally changed my plans on...

If you just hit the keg with CO2 and then let it go, wouldn't the CO2 just go into solution until an equilibrium is created for that temperature, meaning the CO2 in the headspace will be reduced and can loosen the seal and you'd have to hit it multiple times? Edit: I just wanted to add I...

Yeah, I guess I can get an extra tank, like you said having a backup is always a plus. I do use my 10lb tank to transfer from the carboy to the kegs anyway so it would mean I don't have to disconnect the 10lb from the keezer to do this. The best solution is probably what you suggested, just...

Hello, I have two chest freezers, one for fermentation and one for serving, but my fermentation chest freezer is smaller and can only really hold 3 carboys. I was thinking of switching to using cornies for bulk aging my bigger beers (my next couple of beers will be a RIS for next winter and a...
