that's sounds interesting. I'll look into a data logger like that. otherwise, I may have to come up with a sort of contraption like audger suggested. Thanks to all who made suggestions.

can you share your modifications?

Remember, Christmas starts on Christmas day...and is 12 days long! So plenty of time! :ban: :mug:

not much with electronics and not a huge DYIer, unless I can do a project within a reasonable amount of time. not opposed to fixing something up, but I need something that can keep track of how often it cycles because I cannot be there to watch it.

Maybe this isn't the forum to post here, but perhaps someone here knows some information to help. I have the temp controller thing on my fridge and would love to know how often it cycles at certain temps. Is there a timer or counter that I can install that can keep track of that? I tried...

these hops are absolutely lovely together. I did a simple pale ale years ago (see my recipe in my signature) and it is wonderful! Definitely one of my favorites!

First time ordering from KC and I put my order in late Friday. Got a tracking number Monday and received the order yesterday! Faster than I expected and even needed. Unfortunately, I have to wait now 25 more days before I even get to use what I have, but I expect the wait to be worth it...

yuk, that's why I was hoping someone had some they were willing to part with.

I wanted to sell my 3 gallon cooler (Rubbermaid) that I used for a few years for partial mashes. The cooler has had the spigot added back on it and so it will need a manifold or better yet a SS braid (that's what I used and it was perfect for this.) If you want it without a swap, $15+...

I recently got a refridge (top/bottom model--whirlpool) and installed a Johnson control. Main use is for fermentation of ales and lagers. Really like how the Johnson control works at keeping temps where they need to be! :ban: At the moment, the top freezer isn't really used (too small...

Ok, I've spent some time going through the search feature and trying to find my specific answer, but so far haven't found it. I have read on these forums that you can reuse yeast 3-5 times (even read up to 20 times?!?) Does this include starters? This is what I mean when I ask this...

My first "real" disaster in brewing came this weekend. Actually, it turned out ok and could have been worse. Started everything normal; crushed grains; heated infusion water; added to mash tun; add grains; stir (with NEW wooden mash paddle that I made the previous week); wait an hour, all is...

Rob Walker -- do you happen to have a Greene King IPA Clone recipe mentioned in your signature?

I'm in Roswell but don't know ANY brewers here, unfortunately.

just curious -- how do you think EKG hops instead of fuggles would do for this brew? Not saying you should, but I was looking for a recipe similar to this and have EKG to use. Thanks!

Thanks. I decided a simple 2row pale ale with a 1/2 lb. of crystal 40 using magnum hops to bitter would be a good base. I will then try certain variations on the flavoring hops at 15 min and 5 min aroma hops additions. Should be light enough to let the hops shine through!

I have a unique chance of testing a variety of locally grown hops (native, yet there is a lack of information and the owner wants to know what we can use these hops for.) All the hops have been tested for their alpha properties, so making a balanced beer should be relatively easy. So, from...

thanks for all the replies. I think I will definitely give decoction a try. It does sound very interesting and for me a new twist to brewing. I've probably done 40-50 batches in the last 5 yrs and I need to try something new.

I am planning on doing a vienna style lager this year (now that I have something to control lager temps for fermentation and laggering.) I wanted to start simple and figure vienna style is that. First is it even necessary to do a decoction with vienna grains? If one didn't do a decoction...

Yummy, that is true! I reuse my yeast at least three times and I hadn't thought what to make yet. Thanks for the tip and now to find those recipes!
