Measure out .25 oz of hops and added it to the boil. Measured out the second .25 oz and added it to the boil. Realized that you've used the entire 1 oz of hops instead of the .5 oz that you should have. Checked the scale and it was set for kg rather than oz. Found out that the scale resets to kg...

It looks like a good kit and you have a good plan. I would just skip using the glass carboy. After seeing this thread: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/forum/threads/broken-glass-carboy-horror-stories-compendium.376523/ I never used mine again. Welcome to the hobby.

+2 Use diluted StarSan and get a spray bottle

Here are the beer trails for VT. https://www.vermontbrewers.com/brewery-trails/

The 308 will control cooling and heating, no steps. Not sure if that is something that you need.

Another one that I missed. Aegir was displeased with me.:oops:

I should have done this last weekend. Brew day did not go well.

If it does reset, change it to Fahrenheit and then save it. I was adjusting mine this past weekend and it kept reverting back to factory because I didn't save it as I went. Stopping to read the instructions while programming it is not a good idea. :(

First thing i would do (and you probably have done it already), is unplug it and let it sit for 5 minutes. Plug it back in and see if it resets.

So I decided to give this a try. For $10 it's worth a shot. I think that I can run it down the side of the fermenter and then wrap it around the cone. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078J21GLF/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20

It sounds pretty big for 5 gallon batches. I bought a 52 quart and I think it's more that enough. Here's a link to read if you haven't read it already: https://www.brewhardware.com/category_s/1919.htm Also...

On its maiden fermentation right now.

So i have my CF5 in the fridge now and its keeping cool at 65F. Now I need a heat source for it. The Spike one is nice but i'm too cheap.

They are finally starting to grow. This the first year growing. It was a long and cold winter here in New Hampshire. I had to keep them in the fridge for quite awhile. Got them in the ground about two weeks ago.

Brewing a NB Honey Weizen right now. Remember a watched pot never boils and a un-watched pot always boils over.

I would run straight tap water through the chiller until you're around pitching temps. If you have warmish ground water, switch to the ice bath once the tap water isn't cooling anymore.

UPDATE: So I took the bottom crisper shelf and drawers out and found that if I turned the CF5 so that there were two legs in the back, I could close the fridge door. The bottom of the door did bump the CF5 a bit. I cut off the bottom lip o the door and it closes fine. I'm back in business. :mug:
