It seems to me there is no perfect situation. Right now it's not to bad with a 1 degree dif it only really spans from 39-42. I would be afrain if I put a fan in right now everytime I open the lid I would loose a bunch coldness. Maybe once the collar is installed a fan would be good because I...

make sure the airlock is clear so it doesn't shoot off of your bucket or carboy. A blow-off tube would be best. Just make sure it doesn't clog so beer goes flying everywhere. TipsyDragon beat me to it by less than a minute

It doesn't matter to me Bmoor do you have a preference? if not the canada malting CM-WHET

I was just going through this. The bottom of the freezer is going to be the coldest. I moved my probe around, had it in water it was still a little eratic. Now I have it taped to one of those stand up freezer thermos on the bottom of the freezer in the air just kinda turned up and it controls...

also if anyone wants to split a bag of wheat I would be interested but it's not the end of the world if it doesn't happen

Ok I'm in too even if Bmoor can't get my grain a little closer I'll take: 2 bags of Thomas Fawcett MO (TF-MOPA) 1 bag of CM-2ROW 1 bag of CM-6ROW

Princeton area would be a shorter ride for me so I might be interested I would probably be in for 2 bags of 2-row and 2 bags of MO. Lets see if we can work something out. I'm near flanders NJ so either way its at least a hour drive

Sweet I'm not sure how much longer I'm going to be in this water system so I may just wait until I'm in my new house. I figured it was worth a try the beer is coming out good so far but it can always get better and more consistant. Thanks for the link I'll have to scan deeper to figure the whole...

So now I'm brewing 10 gallon AG batches and I'm trying to get every variable I can under control. As of right now I am just using a 10" filter housing that most people are using with a charcoal filter to help get out the chlorine. Here is the profile that is available online...

Did you guys drink them quick aka green? 1.015 Should have plenty of sugar left in them to give you some mouth feel. Were there any steeping grains involved or just straight extract. Most of the beers I've made from extract had a watery feel when they were young. what were the O.G. 's at too?

Notty doesn't taste so good at higher temps. I've had two "bad" satchets of notty and its given the beer and off aroma more than flavor but it's still there. Thank god I'm up to 10 gallon batches so i can drink that 1/2 of the batch after I'm feeling good and less critical

The 2 times that I recently used notty they were both slow to start and they fermented just under 70. Both of them had an off smell more than any off flavor but they go hand in hand. When I pulled a sample of the second notty beer before I even took a sip I said oh no there is that smell back to...

my last 2 packets of nottingham took way to long for my liking to take off. They did take off but it was 3 days later. There have been a bunch a people with issues using nottingham search around the yeast fermentation forum and you'll find plenty of info there. I'm going to avaoid using notty...

The last 2 times I've pitched Notty it has taken almost 3 days to take off. I wasn't to happy about it and they both had a wierd smell to them. I was thinking I had a bad lot, I have 1 more packet left but I think it's goin in the garbage.

Here the wiring diagram that I used with the help of HBT members and it works good for me. The switch is from automation direct not that it should matter but this should be helpful re read the post and this really isn't that helpful

I've done it both ways as well and didn't notice any difference better or worse either way. But my old setup it took about 35 mins to get to 165-170 at half flame so I did it that way beacuse it was easy to time out my brewday. I didn't do it to many times because now I'm all grain and thats a...

Secondary only if you have to the more times you move beer around the less you get from it. That being said if you are going to dry hop move it over to the secondary but don't be afraid to take a little more trub with you now than you would at bottling time it won't hurt anything

Basically its to get more hop aroma without adding more ibu's or bitterness to the beer. I started with the morebeer kit and it was a very nice way to start. The pot that comes with the kit is great its 8 gallons has a stainless ball valve and thermo port all ready to go. Also it comes with 24...

I have the MM-3 and I love it its the only mill I have used so comparing it to others is tough. I was at the LHBS and I saw the barley crusher there for the first time. It looked very solid with similar components to the monster mill but looked very small compared to the monster mill. I think...
