    blowoff tube instead of air lock?

    I always start with blow off tube. If I remember or feel like it, I'll switch to airlock after a week.

    Fermentation Chamber advice

    Full size front door freezer for fermentation with a diy temp control stc-1000 for both cool and heat. Had an apt fridge for kegs (nice to keep hops in freezer in top) but it died so went to chest freezer for kegs. I like having front loading for carboys, but chest freezer is OK for kegs. Plus...

    Flare fittings in the kegorator?

    I only have barb fittings on the tail pieces, flare on everything else. It does make it easy to rearrange or add to and easy to clean ball lock fittings if needed. If I remember correctly, my starting keg stuff came that way in a kit (only barbs on tail fittings) and I just kept going the same...

    Survey: Lets hear why you prefer Propane over Electric Brewing

    I agree with @jekeane about the portability of using propane. I only switched to electric (I know, BOO!, not what you were asking for) when I stopped moving, had a dedicated indoor-ish space, and could convince my brew friends to bring their propane based set up to my house when we all wanted to...

    A tale of first two BIABs. What do you use for bags?

    I've used brewinabag dot com for my first and only bag. Has lasted years. When I need a replacement I will go thru wilserbrewer (on HBT a lot). I would have gone thru him first if I were on HBT back then... biabbags dot webs dot com

    Natural gas or electric?

    Just to throw in, I too tried to do natural gas indoors (closed garage with two hoods and a carbonmono detector). Second brew day inside, I started to feel light-headed and dizzy. That convinced me (and the wife) to go electric. While is was nerve racking to drill into the pot, it was better...

    Harvesting yeast off of a starter

    Yep! This is the way I typically harvest/keep yeast. If I need 1500mL of starter, I build 2000mL and keep 500 after in a small jar for next time. That 500mL jar gets built off of a couple of times (4-5) before I start over with fresh yeast. Usually gets used within 6 months at the longest.

    Building a HERMS setup but want to BUY the controller

    I agree that working with 240v can be dangerous, but if you're comfortable with 120v and understand how to be safe with that, you can handle 240v. That attitude of wanting to be safe and refusing to take shortcuts will go a long way, and there's a ton of info here on HBT. I was going to buy a...

    Super cheap electronic boil control

    In that case, I highly recommend looking at Auber's DSPR line of SSR controls. Either EZboils or the DSPR1 are great tools and are easy to set up, use, and get support for.

    Replacing the braid in my mash tun cooler with a brew bag, and have a question

    Chiming in. I made the same move a couple of years ago, added bag to cooler. I left the braid and was using rice hulls. Then I wondered what would happen, took out the braid and stopped using hulls. Many brews later, this still cool. Did decide to add hook so grains could 'drip dry' between...
