    Side by Side Conversion Started

    So I finally got started on the conversion, freezer side = serving / lagering? Fridge side = ferm / lagering? I ordered 2 STC 1000's, both read fahrenheit! One is an Inkbird and the other is ? Why 2 different ones? No reason just thought I'd see if I liked one better than the other, one will...

    Huge Stir Plate -Aerate 6 Gallon Batch??

    Lol, I don't have a lawyer so I guess I'm screwed, will you take a homebrew to drop the case? Don't be surprised that it popped back up, search is a heck of a tool when your on the can. My though was since I have an industrial stir plate maybe pump air through stone into the carboy while...
