or you can also hook up an immersion chiller to an aquarium pump instead of the faucet. it can pump from a container holding a lot of ice water, that way it just recirculates the water. just make sure to keep ice in there or you might end up recirculating warm water.

I think for referring to/ and/or knowing the names of characters your membership to club man has been revoked Homercidal ;) . Unfortunately my girlfriend loves that show. Fortunately though, she also knows far better than to even bother asking me to go watch that steaming pile....so she's...

ya i noticed on the first link provided that it showed how to wire a regular two-pronged extension to a power strip. i am using it for a freezer so i got the grounded version. But i figured out to connect the grounds. Thanks for the help everyone. -Sam

Thats perfect! thanks, Sam ps. I love how the responses are so quick on this forum!

Hey everyone, I just got in my Ranco temp controller, but im not sure how to hook up the power cords. theres only six contacts so i know it can only go a few ways, but a simple snapshot or basic instructions would really help me out. I am normally good with wiring but it came with no...

another week and a half would be the max, so it looks like im good to go. thanks for the help guys. What would be the "correct temps" if I used WLP 051...? anything out of the ordinary or as long as it stays in range? -Sam

I would rather just leave it in the primary if I can, I would rather not mess with transferring right now. I just wasnt sure if i could do that. Does it keep fermenting or is it just siting in there conditioning at that point?

I knew the sanitation was key but the CO2 purging is a great point. didnt even think about it. As far as not oxygenating....should i just try not to splash around while siphoning?

i love my hookah, though i dont use it all that often anymore. My advice; dont get one thats too small. I had gotten small one for transportability, but i soon found that it tipped over all to easily. it was nice but because it was so light just the weight of the hose could just about tip it...

haha Im all about making everything myself. This is actually the second kegerator I've made. well i think they call it a keezer? the new set up is a chest freezer that will be controlled by a Ranco. The other one I had made was for my dad for fathers' day last year. I love buying/making any...

I like the new white font/size much better

haha I had some cooky guy on my campus the other day. After answering a question he called me a heathen and told me that i was going to hell. I was going to say something but i figured it was useless.... it was kind of funny as soon as i walked away. because I realized a very important...

Here's me with a nice wild rainbow if i dont say so myself...

Oh i had a question though. My batch seems to be going a more quickly then expected, and some bad planning/impatience has led to me not having a regulator for my keg set-up. The batch still wont be done fermenting for a couple days im guessing, but I wont have the regulator for about a week...

ya i dont plan on this first batch lasting long. I just need to buy a second keg so I can keep a rotation. haha or I could just drink 5 gallons every 2 weeks! I'm game for a group brew day, I would like to see how others do it since im still in the learning stages. Only problem is Im only...

haha well... about that norcal' thing.... I only go to school up here. Im actually a Socal guy! but thats ok....I would still have a beer with any of you! :mug: -Sam

hahaha Jaybird you have no idea!!! I tend to get a little obsessive with my hobbies... or maybe i just pick hobbies that require obsessiveness.... havent decided yet. -Sam (the infected) ;)

its a California Pale Ale. I think its supposed to be like a Sierra Nevada clone

Hope everyone is having a great holiday weekend. Anyways just thoguht I'd let everyone know i had a first taste test today. I pulled a small sample just to have a random SG test and the test jar was begging me to take a sip. It tasted surprisingly like a finished product, but the test said...

Ok well I was all too bored today and couldnt help but take a sample... What are ya gonna do? haha. anyways, seems to be fermenting fast; only on day 4 and the SG is down to 1.019 and i think the final is 1.014-1010. Does it always go down that quickly? I also decided to take a sip. That...
