Well it sounded like a 7 cu ft freezer, but someone else got to it first while I was cutting the yard and waiting for him to call back. Oh well time to keep looking. My basement stays pretty cool during the fall, winter and early spring, but not so much during the summer. I will move my...

Ya. I understand the water bath concept. I was hoping to avoid it. I opened the cabinet doors this morning and the temperature has already dropped to 72 which is the temperature of the house. I just found an old, ugly chest freezer for $50 on craigslist. Could I convert it to a fermentor chest...

Hey. I'm sure this has been asked, but I'm going to ask again. I've got my fermenters in a cabinet in my dining room, mostly because its the only place I can keep them out of the way. However, I can seem to get the temperature down. The digital thermometer reads a high of 80 and low of 76...

I'm very interested in knowing how this turns out. SWMBO is begging for a blueberry wheat. Let us know.

Ya. I saw that. I got really lucky a couple of months ago and found one for $20 with the washer attachment. I was hoping to get lucky again so both my Dad and I could have one.

I'm looking for a bottle tree. Does anyone have one they're looking to sell. Please let me know. Thanks.

I'm not doubting you but what happens when you use the polymer tubing? If its just a crush factor could I just cut the inside tubing some and put that in back in the braid for strength?

Ya I definitely saw that and immediately heard my physics teaching yelling at the class about keeping the units straight. To be honest. I figured he probably got the math right with or without the units. So I just rolled with it. After, of course, I tried to change the formula to have...

Thanks for that. Unfortunately I'm minutes away from finishing my spreadsheet, but I think its been a good exercise to really understand what's going on.

THANK YOU. Thank You. Thank you. I spent a couple of hours the other night trying to get this into an excel file and couldn't figure it out. Needless to say it was starting to frustrate me very much.

I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have admitted that.

Revvy, what you're really saying is, "Skip the bottling and start kegging", right? ;)

AHA. Point 2 would explain why the Wheat was ready to drink in 3 wks total time and the triple is still under carbed.

The fermentor and bottles are all kept in the basement and it stays between 65-68 most of the time. The priming sugar is quick boiled in the microwave and dumped in the bottling bucket and almost immediately racked on top of. Would the high temp hurt it at all? That's what I was leaning...

So my dad has been brewing extract kits since January. One his last 4 batches or so he's started using a secondary to help clarify the beer. It definitely seems to accomplish that, but now he's having problems getting some of the batches to carb up. For example, his triple has been in the bottle...

Awesome dude, Congrats. Keep up the good work.

I hate it when you guys say that. I know its true, but.... one day. Thanks for the link RedIroc.

I agree. I can actually read and understand that diagram. Thanks for that.

Very nice. I can't wait to see the finished product.

Had it been a good beer I would have popped the mess out of that dog. But since its just bud heavy I'd let it go.
