For a lager, is the ideal fermenting temp 33-40? Does anyone use a temp controller 'fridge' (for lack of a better word)? If I need to get higher fermenting temps the only thing I can think of is to use a makeshift wood box with a heat lamp or the like. Could throw a ebay temp controller/timer...

Keg controls only go up to mid 40's... oh well I can always keep it next to the boiler if it needs to be warmer. I am reading the complete joy of home brewing but I couldn't wait to get started, lots to learn and looking forward to it. My recipe called for (all came pre measured so just...

I was in that phase for about 2 hours before I couldn't take it any longer, had to get started.

Yea I can use the temp controls on kegerator. have you guys purchased a keg without a pickup stem? Might have to take a ride back to the homebrew shop and see whats up.

Oh I should have mentioned I have a few books (like complete joy of homebrewing), but I couldn't wait to read, i had to jump in head first.. but luckily I was not using glass so no shattering here. So maybe I should just bail on the honey? My problem is I don't know what the gravity of the...

so two days ago i went to this homebrew shop kinda nearby, they had a bunch of recipes to pick from so I picked up my brew equipment kit and decided to go with an 'award winning' recipe judged by Michael Jackson... I got started last night. Well from what I've read here already I made two...

Hi all, just the other day I was like you know what i'm gonna brew, well i'm already underway; boiled the ingredients last night and they're sitting in the primary, the airlock looked a little cloudy so looks like it's working thus far. I do have questions because I didn't want to waste my...
