Oh you broke the tab off of the outlet not the controller, I understand the controller works both sides, just making sure he didnt wire the heat to one outlet, and cool to the other without seperating them. Then both outlets would be powered on heat and cool....making the heater and fridge run...

How did you split the outlet to work heat on one side and cool on the other?

Have you thought about an insulation wrap around the outside? Like they do for hot water heaters. I bet you could wrap it for inder $50. I'd like to see you get it down to the lower 30s also. (I was a refrigeration guy in a former life!) But once you get down that low your gonna have freezing...

So what temps and times did you mash at? This is my first all grain, so I'm not super fluent, I am wanting to brew this sometime this week. I see it was pointed out that you mashed "A little higher for 90 minutes." I am using a 10 gallon igloo cooler and doing a 5 gallon batch. What would you...

Thats a good looking setup. Nice job. Do you have controls or refrigeration experience or are you just going by the seat of your pants? I would like to do a ferm chamber like this, but a bit larger. Maybe an 8' cube or 8x12. I am not a big lager guy so I wouldnt need to get it down to the temps...

Just a suggestion, if you end up having a problem with drastically different temps from top to bottom, you could use a computer fan at the bottom, connected to a piece of PVC (3 or 4") as ducting to pump the cold air up to the top of the chamber.

I was washing up some bottles last night and noticed this exact thing. i had a bunch of bottles I was saving up in a bin on my back deck its been really rainy here and the bin collected several iches if rain water in it. The samuel smith labels pretty much came off when I took them out of the...

Hot water and dawn works, let emsoak for a few minutes and peel the label under the water. I use a stainless steel scrubber to get the glue off. Guiness draft bottles have shrink wrap labels, and are by far the easiest I have found to remove, razor blade down the side and the label label comes...

Looks awesome, On my next build I may use a cigar box to hide the controls. Where it looks like a regular cigar box, but open it and inside you would have the control panel. All wires will run through the bottom of the box and to plugs in a different location. So as to look like a cigar box just...

Old Peculiar. Found it Saturday for the first time in 14 years. I miss this stuff!

DrNecro, where in Hiram are you? I am straight down 92 in Douglasville about 15 minutes from the 92/278 intersection. I am trying to get a few brewers to start a small club on our side of town.

I named mine "Donspilma brewery" pronounced "Dont spill ma" as in what you say when someone gets near your beer. I have some Donspilma porter in the fridge and a Donspilma Irish Red going into secondary tomorrow. Our motto you ask? "Give em tha D!" Heres a rough draft of the logo, I have a buddy...

I already ordered all the stuff to build a 10g mash tun. I'll look into biab though!

No the temperature stays at 65 so theres no evaporating or condensing. If the temperature goes above the set tolerance range the fridge kicks on, if the temp gets below the heater is turned on. Your only talking about a few degrees of temp change. Putting the heater in an unsealed container of...

What part of Acworth?

You would want both when the summers are hot and the winters are cold. Like in my case my fermenter a fridge on my back porch in GA. Where the temps range from the teens to the hundreds. I have the fridge hooked to the cold side and a ceramic heater mounted inside and hooked to the heat side...

I think I just found my first all grain brew! Cant wait to get my mash tun built and try it.

Thats nearly an hour from me. :-(

So no interest in starting a brew club?

I am in west Georgia, are you still looking to get a club together. I liked the facebook page a couple of weeks ago, but havent seen much activity. :(
