Today is the day for stirplate questions. I tried a variable speed fan adjuster on my stirplate and it just turned the fan off and on. Your better off with a potentiometer from RadioShack ( yes they are basically the same) but you can find the exact voltage reduction you want to use.

I had the same problem that you did. I have a potentiometer inline and raised my flask above the stirplate to increase the distance and get a power reduction to no avail. Last week I added a 47 ohm resistor after the potentiometer and it now works perfect. I tried to other resistors with the 47...

Ok so my last post was a bunch of scrambled words. My apologies. Basically I have good success after 2-3 days of cold crashing and not letting the beer warm up before bottling. Just try not to disturb the trub or it will float up. As far as the sugar I don't know off the top of my head but I bet...

That time frame would be fine. I usually do 2-3 days and then go straight to bottling without any problems. I usually have food success this way. just be carefull not tobdisturb rhe trun when you mive the bucket. A far as the corn sugar I don't know off the top of my head. 🍺

Congrats on the new addition! The first week is a little hard but is been real fun for us. Enjoy

Hmm, maybe I need to order some new ones. Hopefully they didnt die off!

If he dies off how should we split up his brewing gear?

Wow, that's pretty good for this time of year. Here in so cal we've had sone warmer weather the last two weeks and I'm expecting to see mine shoot up quick.

I was told by SWMBO and el prego one that registering g for beer supplies would be inappropriate. Next time around maybe!

Ask and you shall receive!

Thanks everyone. @ mynameispaul, just stay focused and supportive. That's what got us through. Goodluck buddy and keep us updated.

Well he was born at 1030 and had his first beer by 1 so here's hoping for a good future. Just kidding but he was a big healthy boy and is doing good!

So I'm at the hospital with my wife who's has just begun to go into labour. As she drifts off to sleep my mind starts to wonder and drift. How will this little man affect my brewing, will I still be able to brew, when will I brew again. Any new dads or moms out there with some good advice and tips.

^ thankyou!

Any help? I was planning on doing this today and could use the help, thanks.

This thread is awesome. Let me get thIs straight though. I fill the vial with glycerin and water prior up to 20% prior to the yeast or just 20% glycerin and 80% yeast? Thanks!

Ok so this would probably entail using a little more sparge water to wash the grain better I guess???

Ok thanks, I seemed to have missed this thread when I searched the topic.

So I recently aquired a keggle and want to start brewing 10g batches. My set up is currently designed for 5g batches using a 5 gallon igaloo cooler I converted. My question is can I mash a recipe for a 10g brew with a standard grain bill in it. Or should I try to get a bigger igaloo. Ideas...
