Good to hear! How big was the collar you installed? I plan to add a collar once I get through a ferment/keg/serve cycle.

Good Morning! Looking to create my first fermentation chamber. I've got my ink bird dual temp controller and my brew jacket heat source. Now just need to add the chest freezer for cooling. This seems like a pretty solid deal that walmart just released today --...

I'll need to measure my space in the garage...I'm looking to put a 6 gallon plastic carboy in it. What could you all fit in your's when you had a 5?

Okay thanks for the tip! I would assume it can go to around Zero being a chest freezer... right?

Great to hear! Have you had good results and happy with it? Easily able to ferment mid 60s and get down to lagering temps? I plan to get a fermentation heater blanket for the heat source.

Hello all- Making an attempt at my first fermentation chamber for ales and want to try a lager as well. I want to make sure I'm getting a temp controller that works with the chest freezer. It says the Max Wattage is : 1100W(110V)/2200W(220V) and the freezer say it is 115V. Do you guys think...

That's what I was thinking. Do you think the flavors will be cleaned up by the yeast over the next 2-3 weeks? If it still tastes bad in 2-3 weeks dump it? Thanks!

Hi Everyone- I'm still pretty new in homebrewing and this was my 5th batch. Was hoping to create a refreshing summer brew and experiment with fruit in half of it. I brewed an American Wheat 5 gallon BIAB batch and split it to have half with nothing added and the other half I added 4 pounds...

I kind of wish I had brewed more then 2 gallons now haha I'll make sure to save a bottle or two until next winter. I'm sure Snow Day will be their revival beer in the sample pack like 2 Below was this year. I'm thinking I want to try and tackle the New Belgium Ranger IPA next!

About 9 weeks later and it is amazing! Good smooth taste. Chocolate followed by a refreshing hop flavor. I think I would have dry hopped my 2 gallons with more then half an ounce next time. Possibly double or triple and leave it for a week instead of just 3 days.

I opened up one of my bottles after 3 weeks. It was pretty good. I think it still needs another few weeks of conditioning though. Also, it was a bit murky and few hop pieces from the dry hop I guess I missed. I'll post a photo next time I crack one up. Happy New Years!

So I feel Snow Day will come back next year as the "Revival" beer in their sample pack. It's two below this year and if I'm not mistake that puts Snow Day next! Guess I'll have to save a bottle to compare! Great to see we are picking up some steam on this thread again. Spellman- Very...

Let me know how that turns out and send a picture of a pint! I was just reading an article about doing a "cold steep" with your dark grains (i.e. the midnight wheat and C-80) and then just mashing your other grains at normal temp. Supposed to give the dark color, but less roasty flavor...

I bottled Sunday night and ended up with fifteen 12 oz bottles. Not bad, but always wish I had more! So I wonder if my OG reading was off. Because if that stands true of 1.062 and I know I ended at 1.008 I'm rocking 7.2% ABV. Seems high, but guess I will find out when I taste a fully carbonated...

I did. Might be a little messy when I rack, but just need to be careful. I'm bottling Sunday so I can finally taste a tiny bit. That sounds like a plan! What's your ABV% at?

Just threw in my .5 oz of cascades. Hopefully they are not too hard to rack around into the bottling bucket. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

fantastic to hear its tasting great! Sorry for the delay in response. Was up in MN visiting family. I'll be transferring to secondary tonight and then probably dry hop on Wed/Thurs and bottle on Sunday!

Sounds like it's coming along nicely! How many days will you dry hop? I'm going to let mine sit for one more week before putting into secondary. Then let it sit in secondary for a week and the last three days of that I'll dry hop and then bottle. Only bad thing about a 2 gallon batch is that...
