If you get the same readings with your hydrometer a couple days in a row -AND they are close to your FG that your kit gave you then you should be ok. Personally I wait a minimum of 3 weeks BEFORE I check to see what the Hydrometer says and let the yeast do whatever they do. My hydrometer...

Good Question . . . I picked up the partial first and it has been sitting for over 2 weeks untill I felt comfortable with the el cheapo temp controller. http://www.chicompany.net/freezer-conversion-thermostat-remote-bulb-933.html I picked up 2 of these NEW shipped for $80 and change USD and...

Analog temp controller and a free fridge and your in Bitness . . .:mug:

I use one for Lagering what more do you need. Looks like you went to the summer thing and were probably close. I've picked up 2 additional freezers for $20 each from CL and 2 free fridges. I have a line on 2 more (1 of each) that I really dont have anywhere to put them. You can do it on...

The main advantage of the digital controllers are that you can set the temperature differential to 1 degree. With the analog it has a built in differential of 3-4 degrees. Alot of people use them for their fermentation chambers. . . including me. Is it wired already ??? Is better than a...

1300 miles away and you guys just meet . . . What a great place to hang out. Now if I could just bump into that little Mexican girl I saw brewing in Clewiston FL last summer. I'd be happy too. ;):ban:

I knew I wasn't the only one . . . One time I used the front of a 25' pontoon on a trailer, the back of my '76 Vette and then into a turkey fryer pot over a cut up Top Hat garage heater with bricks to level it out . . . It was a Euchre party last summer . . . I think the cheap camera...

This airlock stays on the tube for just such an emergency and does have the X removed. There might be a couple that still have them but they stay with the wine/cider side of the operation.:mug:

Creme Ale with WLP080 at 58 with a 2 liter starter . . . . Definately more than I expected. This is 2 days into fermentation. I discovered this about midnight when switching out ice bottles in the swamp cooler. The top stretches out like a basketball before it "releases". This is my first...

Your not the first person that this has happened to. Dont Sweat it. Grab a straining bag (preferably one large enough to stretch over your brew pot) and a couple of the cheap cheesecloth ones, just in case, when you get the stuff for your next recipe.:mug: Mark it up as Experience . . ...

GEE-OFF, I to have used corona bottles with no worries about the sunlight . . . I'm in a simular situation as you with the basement and no daylight. I still store my bottled beers in milk crates with cardboard cutouts on the sides and cardboard case boxes. That being said . . . I would only...
