Someone reviewed this exact mini fridge (Frigidaire FFPE45L2QM) on the Lowes website and said as follows: "The freezer is not removable. The inside is a single cast unit and the cooling mechanism is in the bottom section of the freezer". Seems to be a disconnect between what you and he are...

Very nice. I might just have to pick one of those mini fridges up from Amazon and do something similar. It fits the Ss Brew Bucket nicely. That fan you mounted on the freezer; I assume it's one of those cheapie fans from a hard drive or laptop? Did you wire it to run when both heating and...

6865.5 plus 5 gallons Kolsch = 6870.5 gallons Bill

I won't even begin to describe the previous 57 bonehead mistakes. I just got my wort boiled, transferred to primary, and pitched the yeast. Then I went to set up my blow off tube and the temperature probe for my STC1000. (Both are combined in one stopper). But the stupid thing went all the...

Silly comment deleted. :)

It's brew day for my second ever extract home brew. The first one had LME (liquid syrup). This one has lots of DME (dry malt extract). The directions do not tell me when to add the DME to the brew pot. While the water is cold? At a certain temperature? Or when the water begins to...

Congrats! If I give you a dollar will you sign it, frame it and hang it behind your new bar? Bill

I got a Kolsch recipe kit with 2565 Yeast. Also 5 feet of 1/2" ID tubing for a blow off tube. I think I'll need it for this one. Bill

It's really fairly easy. Just treat everyone with respect. (Most already do.) Don't post anything you wouldn't want you spouse or kids or parents to read. This goes for other media as well - FaceBook, Twitter, other special-interest/hobby forums, etc.

Okay, so I recently brewed my first beer - a nice beginner-friendly Nut Brown Ale. It turned out well and I'm ready for my second batch; this time a Kolsch that my wife requested. But this time I'm going to step up my brewing process a bit. Here's a list of the new things I'm going to try...

3318 + 5 gallons Nut Brown Ale = 3323 Bill

Thanks for this thread. I hadn't heard of Ritebrew before. I ended up buying a Kolsch Extract from them that I had been price shopping around. I'll brew it up in March. Bill

Well, not surprisingly, y'all were right and I've learned something. Leaving the beer in the refrigerator for a few days made all the difference, in allowing the CO2 to get absorbed. My Nut Brown Ale is very nice now! I've also let more than half the batch sit at room temperature. I'll give...

Lazarwolf, by flat it just seems not very carbonated. Aprichman, the beer has been sitting at around a room temperature of 70° or so; maybe a little less at times. Certainly no warmer than that. I am in N. Michigan and it is cold out there! I think I'm going to experiment a bit: 1...

Hi all, Newbie here just did my first Brew - an extract kit from NB - Nut Brown Ale. Everything went well on brewing day. I don't think I messed anything up. I cooled the wort quickly and let it ferment in primary for 2 weeks at 65°F (more or less), then racked to the Bottling Bucket, and...

Carboy heater, Thermowell, and a Yeast Starter kit.

Teddy4xp the Harbor Springs area. If you are nearby, do you know of a local Brew Club in the HS/Petoskey area? Bill

Hi all, as the subject line says I am a new Brewer in Northern Michigan. We just moved up here last May after 37 years in S. Florida. (Yeah, I know. I get that all the time.) Anyway, I got a Homebrew kit for Christmas and brewed my first batch about 3 weeks ago. A nice "beginner-friendly"...
