Yeh, thermoworks, pick your model all are quality.

Makings for something beautiful. Get out the sander and throw some paint on it. Everyone will wish they had it, including myself. Too bad my brew room is gètting full.

I don't think you will attain enough depth of wort to succeed with 2.5 gal batch. No problem though, brew 5 gallons and either split batches or enjoy that you have 2 cases ready to drink. Also take note that 2 cases of brew is not much considering that you have a 6 week cycle. I started with 5...

You might want to put a water proof /washable material on the ceiling. At times more moisture will be generated than the fan will be able to remove.

If the cap is leaking it will shows signs when inverted after slight shaking.

This picture shows the hole pattern.

It goes without saying that it can only float if holding air. Check amount of hole/slots. As last resort put some strike water in and open drain valve to flood the tubes. Post a picture if you get a chance. This is mine and works well! Holes are drilled in a staggered pattern facing inside of...

I have noticed by moving the flask around slightly that the bar becomes silent. The center of the magnetic field ( I know nothing about magnetic fields but seems logical) being off center with the stir bar makes it wobble and therefore noisy. Give it a shot mine makes zero noise once centered.

I have 6ft of the heat tape coming from reptile basics , 2 ft for each of my 3 bay fermentation chamber controlled by itc-1000 controllers.

From all of the comments on this forum regarding difficulty removing post, I would not recommend locktite. Also cannot understand how it could loosen while sitting by itself. Possible that you forgot to tighten fully. Usually takes movement, vibration, something, unless you have a ghost. Does...

I'm wore out just reading your list!:)

Meglodon77 Chances are that the fermentor is leaking a tiny bit at a seal, giving the impression that no fermentation is active. Even a very small air leak can give the false impression. That being said the yeast are still completing their job for a period after the main ferment ion is...

Here is my chamber, not quite finished. Using reptile heat tape to warm the chambers controlled by ink bird controllers. Pulling cool air from cool area under stairway with computer fans to each chamber to maintain 65 - 68. Heat tape will raise temps as I need to finish fermentation. 5 gallons...

I purchased light brown sugar on sale very cheap and use it to boost alcohol levels. Beer Smith usually suggest up to 10% of grain bill. I have not tried exceeding that recommendation but otherwise works well. I found out today that I have a source for raw cane sugar on the cheap and will...

Thanks phug All inputs are gladly accepted. I am in the process now. Sparging. I guess I will know in a few weeks :mug:

I have 2 similar all grain 5 gal kits that I would like to combine into a 10 gallon batch. I expect the outcome to be similar to mixing 2 bottles of these two brews. Is that realistic? Should I anticipate that the combination of the batches would yield a battle of hops or grains that would ruin...
