    Basement Sink with Work Table-Suggestion Needed

    I built my basement brewery using a rimless SS deep sink (ebay, under $100), a 6 foot section of white countertop, and some 2x4s. The sink section is about 28" wide, 2x4s framed under the sink, and some aluminum J trim around the sink/counter edge. The counter section is quick remove, it sits...

    So who's brewing this weekend?

    I'm holding a club brew day on Saturday. Did it last year and had about 8 people brewing, but looks a little lean this time around. Also brewing a quick extract batch on Thu with my Neice for her Bf's 21st bday next month.

    So who's brewing this weekend?

    A few days behind on this, but I feel for you. We lost our Dante, a cocker spaniel, just a year ago. I brewed 2 batches named for him before that, Dante's Dunkel, and plan to make this an annual brew, although a little behind on #3.

    STC-1000+ PI (the mash control firmware)

    Alpha, Glad you brought this one to the top again. I was checking it out a while back and got distracted. I'm thinking this might need further attention on my part. It could fit well swapping out my omega pid. Your stuff is amazing. John

    Can you fix bland hops?

    Ha, poor soil you say! My yard was common dump/swamp 1900's. Filled in and built on in the 20's. Its like silt.

    Can you fix bland hops?

    I have 10 plants of 6 varieties from 2-4 yrs old, and several are nearly aroma less. 2 cascades (2 yrs) came from a museum hop garden cutting and are just as bland as the originals. I hoped for better in my garden (I'm in NJ) with better care, but not so. Another is a 2nd year (2 year old...

    any thoughts on how to get cold air from kegerator into separate fermentation chamber

    I tried using ducts and fans from a cooler to an insulated chamber, and the end result was that the cooler filled with condensate water, and 20+ temp difference was the best I could do. I converted a dehumidifier to a glycol chiller, used big pond pumps (500+gph needed to get enough lift)...

    Stc-1000+

    As I was going through all the setting last night, I could have gone to a setting and 'entered' the same value vs 'returning'. If I 'changed' the running profile or the ramp enable by going to it's value and then hitting S, have I effectively changed that value even though it was not actually...

    This makes sense. Is there a known trigger event(s) that restarts a running profile? Had to run home at lunch, and it's .1 off the ramp point, and H&C are off. Same this morning. Looking good!

    Stc-1000+

    Initial indication tonight was no heat or cool. I changed the hy to 0.3, delays to 0, and it went into non-stop cooling mode. Since I want the temp to rise, not drop (only up 4.5F so far, but close to target of 12 in 48 hrs), I unplugged the pump. An hour later it's up almost another degree, and...

    Stc-1000+

    The defaults from the profile builder page Mats created, all 0 and cd 1, hd 2, Rp 1, rn 1. I'll be home in a bit to see where it's at. The initial 2.5F rise in 8 hrs was within the ramp time, so I'll see. The hy settings must be non zero though, but I don't see any default for the unit in the...

    Stc-1000+

    Maybe it's come up here, but I don't recall seeing it. I'm finally bringing all my parts together for full service heating and cooling of my carboys using the STC1000+. I'll be doing a post on the whole package in in a few days, but need to understand the STC1000+ in this situation. Due to...

    Soldering Stainless steel

    I got the 1.5 TC radiused fitting from Brewhardware and adjusted the radius on my belt sander to match the 8 gal Megapot. This is just over 12" dia, and the gap was bigger than I was comfortable with. After a few minutes I had it just about perfect. I happened to have the perfect size punch...

    STC 1000 issue

    What does 'blows out' mean? Stops cycling the compressor? Fails with noise and smoke? You find it blank/off and won't turn back on? The STC's are rated at 10 amps. What is the current draw of the cooler? Is the compressor delay set sufficiently long enough to allow the pressure to...

    Old school lagers

    There is quite a bit of info out there on pre-prohibition recipes. I'm doing a lager based on one of them for a Beer Baron event in Philadelphia this October. Corn and 6-row was the standard back then.

    FastFerment conical fermenter??????

    It's too flimsy. Works fine othewise. Here's a link to the previous post on adding a valve via the thermowell. I wish that had come before my plan.....
