    New Retail Programmable Thermostat

    Yes! Brewing this Friday... At least 10 gallons. Not sure if I should make the maibock or the pale ale.

    New Retail Programmable Thermostat

    That looks great! I ended up buying a small ceramic heater for like $15. Since I have the ability to control both heat and cold with the ohmbrew, it seems like it will work quite well. Thanks David!

    New Retail Programmable Thermostat

    Nope, doesnt work. Thanks though. I found someone saying that it isnt settable as of yet. When the next firmware update comes out, I hear it will be. :)

    New Retail Programmable Thermostat

    Ok.. Can someone help me with the Ohmbrew? I am trying to set the clock but there does not seem to be a way to set it. I enter the clock mode and it shows the time and date but there isnt anything to select so I can change it. Using the wheel does nothing and pushing the one button it has...

    Thermometers

    I just bought the same one with the BBQ kit AND a 12" probe too. My father in law has the same one for cooking and I know of the quality, accuracy and the durability. We also do some professional cooking so this will come in handy there too. I think this will be a good addition to my brewing...

    Thermometers

    Yes I was thinking of that too, but the probe would need to be pretty deep because I'm using a concerted Keg and it's deep. I may use this in addition, to check consistency

    Thermometers

    I probably should have mentioned that right off the bat. The fact that I use propane, that is. The base gets cherry red hot. I have 200k btu burners so they put out a hot of heat. They heat up my converted Keg kettles.

    Thermometers

    I think they would break from heat because the manufacturer install sheet states that it is only safe for use up to 140 degrees. And it literally States that if u cannot hold your hand where u plan to mount it, then it is too hot. I use propane and the keggle gets VERY hot. If u guys...

    Thermometers

    Those are pretty expensive huh? How do you mount them? Which model do you have? What unit do they plug into?

    Thermometers

    Boil kettle to monitor cooling. Not exceptionally necessary though I guess. Just seemed since I was going to put them on the other 2 why not have them all look similar. What kind of set up are you using? My base gets red hot when I am heating up my water and I dont want to risk drilling a hole...

    Thermometers

    Hey guys... I posted in the equipment area but I think my question may be better suited to you guys. I bought 3 blichmann weldless thermometers for my Keggle set up but since they are prone to breakage due to heat, I was thinking that there MUST be a better product. What do you guys use...

    Kettle Thermometers

    What are you guys using for thermometers in your kettles? I built my keg kettle setup and bought 3 blichmann weldless brewmometers (which look pretty cool) but i read they are not heat resistant above 140 degrees. It states in the directions that if you cant put your hand at the point where...

    Fermentation freezer room issue/adaptation? or shorter carboy?

    I think that is what I will do then. Do they sell this foam at Home depot?

    Fermentation freezer room issue/adaptation? or shorter carboy?

    Cool! BUT-- The freezer is insulated and I assume that wood isn't rated the same as the rest of the freezer... wouldn't it make it less effective for maintaining temps and/or kicking on/off the freezer/heating ? I noticed someone did insulate it though...

    Fermentation freezer room issue/adaptation? or shorter carboy?

    Ok.. So I just bought this 10.6 chest freezer: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/igloo-10-0-cu-ft-chest-freezer-white/6402129.p?id=1219222474741&skuId=6402129 and this temp controller: http://ohmbrewautomations.com/ So I am excited... then I went to put my carboys into it and realized...

    Fermostat by Ohmbrew - review

    I have a small plug in bathroom heater I think I may use until next winter... If it works well, I will just get a crappy job lot ceramic plug in personal heater for like $15 or so... should do the trick i think

    Fermostat by Ohmbrew - review

    Cool... I have one of those laying around... where do you place it? No issues burning holes in the side of the freezer, because that is a concern of mine. Also, my freezer will be in the garage and hits well below zero sometimes. Is the heater bulb enough to get up it up in temp?? I may even...
