It depends on the type of fridge/freezer that you have. Is the fan that pulls air form the freezer controlled by a thermostat or is there just a damper on a fan? If there is a thermostat you might be ok, but if there is a damper you probably wont be able to get enough airflow to keep the fridge...

Hemidoc- Your recipe sounds fine, not necessarily traditional but should end up with a good beer regardless. What parts of my recommendations are you saying are beyond your abilities? The water part isn't super critic and as black island discussed, there are other acceptable fermentation...

I would eliminate the crystal from the recipe all together, crystal malt has no place in a traditional pilsner recipe. Assuming you are brewing a bohemian pilsner (seems like it based upon the Saaz hops), it is traditionally brewed with 100% pilsner malt using a triple decoction mash method...

Any luck with this? I have been reserching for the past few days and can't find a solution. One idea that I had is to use a second PID controller w/ a NO relay attached to a thermocouple probe that is posistioned over the pilot light. You could then set the PID controller at a few hundred...

Hey guys, just came across this thread. I live in ridgewood and am definitely interested in participating in any local homebrew meetups.

Count me in. Thanks!

I'll take 3 bags: 2- Best Pils 1- GW 2 Row

Understood. Any chance of adding another pallet to this order? The first one filled up so quickly, I bet we could get another pallet filled relatively easily. I can haul bags down to north jersey for anyone that is interested if I make it into the buy.

If the buy is still open, I will take 1x BM Pils and 1x GW 2-Row

I'm in for a few sacks when this gets going.

I'm interested in purchasing a Blichmann Burner. Pick up is best to save on shipping. I'm in northern NJ.

As others have mentioned 75 degree ambient is wayyy to high for nottingham. That being said, with a fast fermenting yeast like nottingham all those esters and funky flavors are going to be produced in the first 36-48 hours of fermentation. So basically the damage is done. Yeast can do a pretty...

Did you lay the chest freezer down on its side during transport? If so, did you let it rest for several hours in the upright position when you got it home before plugging it in?

I always try to pitch when the yeast is actively fermenting, not after it has settled out. For a small starter (<2L for 5.5 gallon batch) I will time my starter to pitch at high krausen (~18 hrs in) with the starter on the stir plate the whole time. For larger starters (>2L for 5.5 gallon...

What size is the freezer?

Anyone from north jersey want to coordinate a pickup? I would be willing to haul bags down to Paramus area (Bergen Country) for anyone that would be willing to help out with gas/tolls. I have a hatchback jetta diesel that will hold a lot and is pretty fuel efficient. PM me if you are interested.

Actually, put me down for the Vienna and the wheat, if anyone wants to split these, send me a PM. Add: 1 BZ-WHT 1 BZ-VIEN

I'll add 1 BZ-PILS to my order. Anyone want to split a sack of Vienna or Wheat?

Count me in: 1- BZ-MUNH 1- TF-MOPA May add more later
