I do 2.5 gallon brews that way I can do full boils

has anyone used the final runnings off of their sparge? I am a noob at starter batches for yeast and I currently use DME but now my mind is churning, If I used the final runnings off of my Tun wouldn't that be a low gravity starter? So even if i am doing a high gravity beer I could just use the...

Yeah I did it just for testing purposes, I have since taken it and wrapped it in a freezer gel-pack and taped it to the wall.

room is at 72 stc-1000 set to 5 degrees Celsius. This morning it is holding right at 5 degrees, I am wondering if it wasn't calibrating or something because my fridge was too hot.

I have my Keezer wired with an stc-1000 off of ebay and when I power it on it all works fine the temp display reads a temp and the compressor cycles on. It was all going good till the temp started dropping rapidly all the way down to zero like a countdown clock. I opened the lid and touched the...

I just finished my Keezer and I was lucky Craiglist GE 7.0 freezer $125 Collar 2x6x10 $ 3 STC- 1000 controller $ 20 Paint $10 Stain & poly $10 1 x 8 x 8 poplar board $ 23 perlick 525s x3 on ebay...

I have also been shopping around for a mill this is what I have come up with Barley Crusher from Midwest is $130 plus 13 shipping to NC which is $143 Monster Mill is $117 for the basic + $40 Base + 19.40 ship = 176.40 tot Crankenstein is 109 for 2 A + 45 base+ 12.35 ship to NC = 166.35...

I hindged my lid and siliconed the collar to the freezer just becasue I felt the weatherstripping on the lid was much better than I could do with off the shelf weatherstripping. Plus my freezer sits in a corner so I didn't want to have to pull it out from the wall every time I wanted something...

thats what I needed to know. I will not cut my immersion cooler and make it into a herms coil I will keep it as is for now however i will probably make it into a CFC instead because from what I have read they seem to work better, but i use my chiller with hoses running to a waterfall pump in a...

Thanks a Bunch I really appreciate the help

Does anyone use the Herms coil in their HLT to cool their wort as well? I see the coil and I see a wort chiller, would it work if you filled the HLT with icewater and recirculated till the wort was down to temp? Just wondering because I have an immersion chiller i am getting ready to try and...

its an STC-1000 basically in my picture #1 and 2 power the controller itself and #3 and 4 are the inputs for the resistance thermoprobe and #5 and 6 are for heating which wont be used in this application. Finally 7 and 8 are the switched source for the cooling. 7 having power and 8 being the...

I have a GE 7.0 FCM7DUWW I have attached a picture of the wires I have to work with. The neutral just needs to be connected to the #2 of the controller and the loose hot off of the cord should just need to go to #1 and the loose black going to the compressor going to # 8 and a jumper wire going...

Had never heard of them until now, gonna go see them this weekend I believe :drunk:

Well the Supplier of Home Depot's white buckets, not the ones listed as FDA food safe is Leaktite. I personally had a batch that was just under 2 gallons that I scaled down. I normally do 1 gallon but i have some friends coming down for St. Pattys day so I needed a little more. Long story short...

Ahh yes I spend lots of time and money in that store. I am very impressed with everyone there

I have attached a very simple diagram that I made. What I want to make sure of is that it looks correct. Orange is neutral black is hot and green is ground coming from the wall and bolted strait to the frame and green from the controller to the compressor hot is just power to the compressor...

So I brewed today and it was def the lid. I overshot the temp by 10 degrees covered the top with foil then put the lid on and covered it with a heating pad and a blanket. Stayed at 150 for the full hour and checking my efficiency I was at 70 percent so I am very happy with that. Thanks so much...

From my experience I have found its a lot easier if you have something to bend it around, When I made mine I used a short hunk of steel pipe I had laying around (it was probably a piece of 12 inch wide pipe) no idea why I had it or where it came from but it worked great I locked it in my vise...

I like the idea of the heating blanket or a heating pad. I will be trying that this weekend I have a good recipe i just found that I will be trying Saturday.
