Is that (2) kegs for $100?

Everything seems to me ok, actually had my first blowout with it, not sure if its because of my first yeast starter or my first temperature controller. I plan on brewing this weekend, hopefully i will remember to thaw the hose this time.

I kept hearing that temperature control is the most important thing to make good beer so i decided to make a temperature controlled fermenter out of an old fridge that i had. I went with the STC-1000 because they are cheap, can do heating and cooling, and I hear a lot of good things about them...

looks like you have a new premium member. Couldn't pass this up and I love this site!:mug:

I was able to get a gravity before pitching and it came in at 1.058, three point higher than expected but i think that is because of the starter. As far a sanitation goes im usually careful but last night i had to much homebrew while homebrew. i think some of the snow got into the wort when I...

I did end up bringing it inside and doing that. Got it cooled and took my gravity and put it in my fermenter. Then i forgot what my gravity was and realized this morning that my yeast is on the counter still. ugh

*note to self, when building a garage to that* on the other hand when packing snow around the kettle it also works well to warm your hands up.

I'de like to try that 120 at some point, currently on the Hopstache home brew. And dam its good

hmmm

making some beer and going to chill the wort and my hose is froze. currently trying to pack snow around the kettle to cool it, dam this sux.:tank:

where is this video, I would like to see it.

Nice, just got mine the other day and started building my fermenter. Cant wait for it to be done.

So you think I will be ok just sprinkling the yeast in top of the chilled wart? Or do I need to do something else? It's OG is suppose to be 1.095 so I'm worried, my first lager and its big. BTW if I'm looking at a OG of 1.095 and 9.4% abv what's the FG suppose to be?

Thanks for the help, I think I am going to need it. OG 1.095 yeast is S-23 1 pack 11.5g exp 1/14 Still trying to figure how stepping up works. Also every where I see people making yeast starters with liquid yeast. My yeast is dry and I guess I am suppose to rehydrate it before pitching it into...

Very cool, easy to understand. How about one one on stepping up, something I'm going to need to do for my next batch.

Im about to start a lager that i need a yeast starter for and it will be my first starter. I made my own stir plate and have a 2000ml erlenmeyer flask. I want to make the largest starter that I can. i read (thanks yooper) "for a 2000 ml use 200 grams of DME and add enough water to make 2000 ml...

Thanks for the pics, I'll be doing the exact same thing and nice to see how its done. I'll try and post pics when i get it done. It looks like you are using it to ferment and have a heater wired up, what are you using? i got a Fermwrap, heard mixed reviews but i think it'll do the trick. The...

How'd it go? I'm about to do the same thing to my fridge.

I had to promise not to bottle my Hopstache on Christmas Day
