    outlaw calculations and a sieve analysis

    Math was never my strong suit, but I will give it a go. Maybe a math major can clean it up for me. lol Gallons on hand divided by daily consumption over 2 week delay from more beer equals outlaw road trip mandatory. I loaded the truck up and struck out in the face of the covid travel ban for...

    Again: how to heat my fermentation chamber?

    It is a 200w ceramic heater, it has tip over and over heat protection built in. Connected to a ink bird controller it is safe. Is it overkill at 200w? prolly, but they are cheap, have a fan. and last for ever. Eric

    Maytag Chest Freezer troubleshooting possibly thermostat

    I just went through this with my kegerator. Find the thermostat knob and divine a way to get at the back of it to expose the wires. Based on how many wires you have back there, installing a quality wire nut and some tape will bypass the thermostat and allow the temp controller to run the show...

    Keezer with no collar?

    So my keggerator went on the fritz again. Went to lowes and no freezers! Read some posts here, got my tools out and hacked the faulty thermostat with a wire nut. Plugged the unit into a ink bird controller, and happy cold beer! Just in time to receive the 10 gallons of APA today. Eric

    How do YOU decide what to make next?

    I do 10 gallon AG once a month. I have been working my way through the greatest hits here on the forum. Some of them I brew repeatedly for a while, others are one and done. I recently had a notion to hop an irish red with 8oz. of hops...... It was a exercise not to be repeated, worst of both...

    What came in the mail for you today?

    Keezer with no collar?

    Commercial means bigger compressor and rated for continuous duty, better cooling for bigger compressor. Box is stiffer, and 5 year compressor warranty. Eric On a side note, the kegerator got back with the program today???

    Keezer with no collar?

    So my craigslist kegerator is on the fritz. 3 years usage for 200.00 spent, no worries. On to my question. What would any issues be with taking my tower off said kegerator and attaching it to the lid? I am seeing the path of least resistance with the parts I already have. Plus I am eye...

    Water Heater Busted...

    Heat pump water heaters in the house REMOVE btu's from living space in winter. No one ever includes the recovery of living space btu's in the calc's for the water heaters operation. No btu consumption is free. I went from domestic hot water via a oil fired boiler for baseboard, to geothermal...
