Wouldn't the tower assembly cover whatever exploratory hole you made?

BeerSmith 2 has the temperature entry in the "Carbonation Profile" that you're using for your recipe. Bill

Thanks everyone. I entered 58° in the Brewers Friend calculator which is what I was pretty sure was right anyway, was just looking for verification. I ended up using 4.5 Oz. of Corn Sugar. Everything's bottled up and now for the hard part. Waiting. There certainly seems to be a lot of that...

I'm going to be using the Brewer's Friend Priming Calculator to determine the right amount of Corn Sugar to prime with. But I'm unsure which temperature I should be entering into the calculator. Here's what's happened to get to here: Primary Fermentation: 5 gallons at 58°F for 3 weeks...

A dremel cutting tool works great.

Man that is seriously sweet.

Like my old college roommate used to say about my major: It's "Confuser Science". He wasn't far off. He also liked to say "To err is human. To really f--- things up requires a computer".

AlphaOmega, no disrespect intended! What you've done with the firmware for the STC-1000 is spectacular and many fermentation chambers thank you. I WILL be updating the User Documentation. Not withstanding my poorly worded earlier post, I am pretty good with words (for a Developer). But I'm...

The link to the manual at BrewsBySmith.com is broken - I think the document name was changed to Readme.md and possibly relocated also. I'd sure like some STC-1000+ documentation that is complete and fully explanatory. The options, buttons, and lights still confuse me at times. I have a...

People place the STC1000 in both places. Some inside, some outside. If you place it outside, all you need to do is plug both the fridge and the heat source into the respective plugs in the STC1000. This method is usually easiest and quickest to accomplish since no special wiring is needed...

Neither my wife nor I are particularly good cooks. We can cook only well enough to live and enjoy what we make. We have a saying we like about Cooking that applies just as well to your "small beer": "It doesn't have to be hard to make to taste good". Glad your wife is happy with your brew! Bill

I seriously considered the Fermenters in the Kickstarter, but ultimately I decided to get the SS Brew Bucket. I really wanted the conical shaped bottom.

Sweet! I wish I had your DIY skills! I'd love to show off my Brew Buckets like that in my new Ferm. Chamber. But there's no way I'd know how to create that pane frame and install that glass. Bill

Sorry to resurrect my own thread, but I'd like your opinions on my plans for my Kolsch. It's been in primary for about 15 days now at a (controlled) 58°F. As expected the 2565 yeast started off with a very vigorous 3 or 4 days with blow off tube. After 8 days or so I replaced the blow off...

I just scored a Frigidaire FFPE45B2QM on CraigsList. Like those of you in the thread, I am going to use it as Fermentation Chamber. This is a (technically) discontinued model from last year. The current model of this one is FFPE4522QM. I haven't started working on it yet, since I just got it...

Nice! Too bad you couldn't use the Fretboard and the Mic tap handles.Those are the Bomb! (I'm sure they'll look good on your next project.) Bill

Here's my etched brew pot. It turned out pretty good. I had a tough time marking the SS pot with water in it. I got the lines marked but then couldn't see the marks too well on the SS. What I ended up doing was putting a strip of blue painters tape on the pot and then marking on the blue...

A set of Stencils. Tomorrow I etch Gallon markings into my Brew Pot. Bill

Wisconsin! (Though I'll be rooting for Michigan State) Bill
