Can someone tell me what camlock fittings I would need for each side of the tan wonder (i.e. input and output) if I wanted to pick them up from, say, Bargain Fittings? Use small words, and speak to me as if I had a head injury, or something.

Is ... the hippie armpit attached to a girl? Maybe? No? Okay. :( Summit: I'll agree with the onion / chive / garlic hate. Was one of the first hops I was able to peg as being not for me. Moteuka: Soapy. Dirty. Dank. EKG as a dry hop: Sickly sweet, almost like sour milk...

Does it have the temperature probe? Seems too cheap to be true!

Nice. Thank you for the good feels, man. My Simcoe hops are kinda old and have been in the fridge for a bit. I was going to dump them into this, for the hell of it -- if I crack the package open and they don't smell like moldy foot-cheese, I'm guessing I'll be good? Lastly, all the reading...

Howdy, gang. I'm experimenting with a recipe for a pine-y / resin-y Pale Ale, like a turned-down Sixpoint Resin. I've got the following put together, but I'm wondering if I'll end up with the equivalent of a pine cone jammed into my mouth. Is there anything that I can change which would get...

YOWCH! That BURNED, man! :mad: Naw, you're right. As soon as I hit "submit" I immediately found the 300+ page thread with the controller build and thought that it looked supremely easy -- no soldering needed! And it looks like dorm fridges vary from model to model, so if you're willing...

I'm going to put in my vote for *not* doing this, and here's why: By dropping the sensor into the beer, you're basically plugging the controller into something with a fairly large thermal inertia; the fridge/freezer will be dropping the temperature of the air, waiting for the beer to catch...

This might be totally true for someone with experience, a parts list, the tools (soldering pencil, etc), and the patience to wait, but I gotta admit that I'm hesitant to dive into that pool. Do you have any links to a ~$30 DIY single-stage controller (with plugs)?

I've been thinking about doing something like this, too, but I think there are some difficulties to be overcome. First, unless you're just cold crashing or doing long-term cold conditioning, you're going to have to gradually lower the temperature of your fermenter from it's first-stage...

It menaces with spikes of Simcoe and histamine.

Now, to be clear, I think Mr. Drew is being a bit too aggressive in his anti-pitching-rate screed (ironically making him a very dogmatically anti-dogma), but I'd like to contribute my skepticism, here. That link, above, regarding the under-, over-, and properly-pitched yeast counts struck me...
