That STC-1000 project looks interesting. I think I may just put one together this weekend.

My old roommate is going to give me his keggerator in exchange for dinner and one of my vinyl records. I'm fixing to go pick it up in about a week or so. I need to get a hold of a couple of 5gal kegs now. Next big purchase will be a fridge and a temp. control for a fermentation chamber...

Yeah, just added that to my cart on Amazon. The more my set up comes together the more excited I get.

Yes, temp control during fermentation/ kegging are going to be my next investments. For now, I'm concentrating on my equipment set up. I am also one of those DIY types so this is a hobby I'm really glad I've stumbled into. I've always enjoyed craft beer, and I look forward to future DIY projects...

This is awesome, this is exactly what I was asking for. Thank you, the whole priming and adding sugar was tripping me up in the process. I'm in the beginning stages of planning out a recipe so I haven't gotten to play around with any applications yet. I've been concentrated on getting essential...

Also, this may seem like a noob question (Because it is) but how do you guys know how much fermentables to add into your batch during the latter part of the boiling stage? I know adding sugar and sometimes irish moss is pretty standard, but my question is how much do you add, and what formula do...

The more I read the more I realize how critical temp. control is during fermentation. My first couple of batches were going to be temp. controlled via swamp cooler, ice, and a fan on high speed. They will be kept indoor at an ambient temp of around 75 so it shouldn't be too hard to drop the temp...

It's actually a song. Xenochrist by The Faceless (technical death metal) just dropped the 't'

I'm DEEP South in the Rio Grande Valley, and thanks for the warm welcome guys. I've been reading almost exclusively about brewing for the past couple weeks as I wait for items to ship. I'm about $200 and one month away from having my fairly decent beginner set up complete. I'm aiming to brew...

This looks awesome! What a gracious group of dudes, to give away such awesome brewing equipment. As a new brewer any of this would be a great addition to my slowly growing set up.

Hey guys, just checking in. I recently discovered this forum and am in the research process as I gather the equipment needed to take on this new hobby head on. My name is Chris, I'm from South Texas, and look forward to eventually crafting and sampling my very own homebrew! I'm jumping right in...
