Not really an answer to your question, but.... Looks a lot like my WH7016 controller, almost identical in fact. - a decent controller, but only does heat *OR* cool. so its OK for a refrigerator or freezer replacement - I use it for my kegerator. there is also a very similar looking STC1000...

I just got a whole bunch of emails from a month ago... I did not use the kit yeast, I used nottingham yeast I had from previous batch (slurry) But, there was something wrong with the extract, I'm convinced of that. it tasted "different"...stale maybe, kind of hard to describe, but my wort...

The coils are embedded in the sides of this refrigerator, so not the best choice for drilling holes into the side of it.

Hey Lumpy, sorry, I only just saw this reply. Did you figure it out OK, or do you still need measurements ?

I dont *hate* these type of beers. they're just not my first choice. But, If I'm in a bar or restaurant, or at a friends house, and that's all they have, then I drink it, and usually enjoy them for what they are, sure, I find them generic, maybe a little bland and uninteresting, but I dont think...

Pictures of my franken-contraptions: My fermentation chamber is ugly junk, but it works, and the price was right. all built from scrap wood and styrofoam that I already had - cost: $0; My ferm chamber stand - again, built from scrap - same goes for my fermenter stand; only cost was the AC unit...

just checked my camera, batteries are dead, charging them now. I'll post some pics this weekend, when I have some time. I've been inspired by many projects I've read on this site and similar sites. I've built a conical, conical stand, ferm chamber, and kegerator. Can't imagine my...

OK, so I thought I'd report back. I increased the temp variance to .6C - that helped somewhat, I also did a better job of insulating the probe that's attached to my fermenter, previously I had a small single layer piece of bubble wrap (roughly) taped over it. I've now made a small insulating...

Expired hopped extract kit. I've been brewing 2005 - 2010, and I recently started brewing again in Dec 2012; 40+ batches in all. least the ones I kept records for. During the entire time I've only ever dumped one batch in 2007, which was infected. Its now April 2013, and I've just dumped the...

Ajax Ontario here. I'm just a kit brewer...sometimes I feel so small when looking at this forum...:o but, while my creations wont win any awards, I do manage to make good beer, and for the forseeable future, it's all I have time for

I know this is an old thread, but I thought I'd reply in case someone is researching for a kegerator build. -- I successfully converted this exact model of wine cooler into a kegerator. for the slightly wider pinlock kegs, you need to trim the shelf holder, which was easy to do, but regular...

Thanks for the replies. I checked the temp variance - it was set for .5 celsius, which I think was the default. and the compressor delay is set for 5 minutes. It's cycle - whilst in the active part of fermentation - was (approx) 45 seconds on/12 minutes off. This is my first "A/C temp...

Hi everyone, long time lurker here, who has gotten some good ideas from this forum. I have a 15G conical, so its too big for a converted freezer. So, I built a fermentation chamber out of scrap particle board shelving and styrofoam packaging. heat source is a 25W coffee can lamp, and the...

Returning to brewing after a 2½ year absence...moving across the country and back, job changes, young kids, my life is starting to make sense again, so I need to complete it....with homebrew ! Last time I participated in forums it was usenet...usenet seems to be nothing but a wasteland of...
