I may have worded that poorly. The ITC-308 would have worked just fine as well. The BTC201 has everything incased in the box housing, rather than the separated input plug and controller like the ITC-308. Just a personal preference really, and I figured I give the BTC201 a try. So far it's...

The main reason why I chose the BTC201 over the Inkbird was because of the single-unit housing design. The Inkbird system has all the same parts, but they are all external and "free moving". They are more versatile, but for my setup, I wanted something compact and mountable. The unit I bought...

I posted in DIY but I wanted to ensure others knew about the build and/or first-timers with fermentation chambers. Shoot me some suggestions for lagers I should try with this bad boy! I surf this forum religiously when embarking on a new adventure or project. Thanks to everyone who contributes...

I surf this forum religiously when embarking on a new adventure or project. Thanks to everyone who contributes and I hope to help others with this post. I have been on and off brewing beer for about 5-6 years now and have been using a swamp cooler to try and control temperatures. This works for...

So the later the flavor extract is added, the more prevalent the flavors will be. Thanks everyone.

I am curious to know when is the best time to use flavoring extract oils? I will be using LorAnn Gourmet Liquid Flavoring PECAN in an English Brown ale to give it a more nutty flavor. My question is would it be better to add the flavoring extract: - before cold crashing? - during cold...

Here is my rendition of this recipe, cold crash with gelatin really clears it up. Great recipe.

Here is a extract recipe I like to use: Batch Size: 5.0 gallons (fermentor volume) Fermentation Temp: 62F - 68F STATS: Original Gravity: 1.048 Final Gravity: 1.012 ABV: 4.76% IBU: 9.13 FERMENTABLES: 6 lb - Dry Malt Extract - Wheat STEEPING GRAINS: 0.5 lb - German - Melanoidin HOPS: 0.75 oz...

I bought a six pack of both the Hefeweizen and Dos Perros this past weekend and already finished them both! Still trying to per-fect their Hefeweizen recipe. Wish me luck! :rockin:

I'll be in Oxford, Ms this weekend. I will no doubt be drinking plenty of it!

Yazoo Hefeweizen is no doubt my favorite. Living in Louisiana, I can not get it here. :mad: To my understanding it is only sold in Mississippi, Alabama, and Tennessee (where it is brewed, Nashville).

Yep, and it's still better than the ole sharpie on cap method. Very soon I will get each label printed up (office depot, laser printed) and append them to each bottle using this method. I will be sure and show off the results. :mug:

Depending on how tall the collar is. I have a 6 inch collar. So a 6.5 carboy on hump with airlock, will not fit. But, with 8 inch collar, it should fit with 1 in or so to spare. From the hump to top of seal (not including collar) is 18.5 inches.

Printed a few out on paper and taped them to bottles. They look great. I can't wait until I make them into real labels.

Here are some of the label ideas I wanted to share. Happy brewing everyone!

All I have is 6.5 gallon carboys and it will fit 2, maybe even 3 with one on the hump.

HBT helped me a tremendous amount on building kegerator and I wanted to share my experience. Below is the pricing and parts for my kegerator build. Description 3 tap kegerator, with 5# co2 tank inside (possibly 4 kegs in the future). Parts The freezer chosen was this freezer at Best Buy...

I am thinking of buying the same fridge and was wondering if you were able to fit 4 pin lock kegs into it, plus 5# co2? I currently have 2 pin lock kegs but plan on getting two more kegs(pin or ball, which ever fits 4 kegs total).
