Looking to buying a fridge. Is there a easy way I can haul a fridge by my self. I am not superman but not a weakling. Gabriel

I ferment kombucha in my kitchen and I make wort in the same kitchen. Beer fermentation occurs in temp controlled fridge in garage. I'm getting ready for a next badge but wonder if I'll have issues. Any ideas? TIA Gabriel

Can you homebrew beer and make kombucha in the same kitchen? I do have a temp controlled fridge for beer fermentation. Do I need a separate kitchen for the two? Thanks, Gabriel

How about a mini fridge conversion into a fermentation chamber?

BTW I already have the STC temp controller with my current fridge.

Chest freezers are cheap and more durable from what I hear. I just don't wan't risk hurting my back by moving carboys in and out.

I've been using dried yeast with no starter, I'm guessing that's the problem? I already ferment in a temp controlled fridge at about 62F. My 4th batch witch is in the fermentor right now has some Wyeast. I had a blow off so I'm guessing the yeast was healthy? I've always aerated by...

I've been following the 1-2-3 rule and I have my doubts about it. I've made 3 batches and by the time they get carbonated they still seem like they are on the green side. I've looked at DonO's beer log and he seems to have them in primary for 2 weeks and 2 months in secondary then kegs. I...
