I am going to buy a temp control setup but am wondering which would work better for fermentation. Should I get a fridge or a freezer?

SLEEP, BLACK FLAG, DISSECTION, SONIC YOUTH, MELVINS, DARKTHRONE...etc. :mug:

Damn, I'm jealous. I am a brewpot away from doing all grain and my wife just lost her job. :( Gotta wait another couple months before I could get the one I want. Good luck!

Good stuff! Thanks for all the info and links. Definatly will be making a stir plate after reading more on what they do for the yeast.

I've been making yeast starters for a while now using the conventional 1 gallon jug with an airlock and have been able to grow lots of slurry without a problem. Lately I have been looking into making a stirplate. I just can't help but wonder though, is this something that will really make a...

Can anyone tell me the most accurate 1/2 MPT thread thermometer to buy around the 30-40 dollar range? I've heard miljoco is really good. Does anyone have experience with this brand? I want a thermometer that will give me a temp within a half degree accuracy and not -/+ 5 degrees like I've...

Maybe a good belgian?

Thanx for all the advice. I appreciate the different methods that everyone uses. I will have to find my happy medium and learn my system.:)

Thanks for the replies guys, definatly a help. I'm still buying pieces to go all-grain and hope to do my first ag batch in a month or two. There is alot to take in that is for sure. Happy Beer Drinking! :mug:

I am aware that 1.5 qts of water is the average per pound of grain when you do your mash but I tend to get confused on how much water I should be using for my batch sparging and how much wort I should collect per pre-boil for a 5-6 gallon batch. After that how much should I be boiling off.

HAHA!!!! Good stuff! I like the finger bomb!

I am not in any clubs. Sounds like fun. I have been brewing by myself and have been trying to get my neighbor on board to start up. How many people do you get together with and where about do you usually brew?

Hello there from the the ATL airport. Well, really from Canton but most my computer time is spent at work.

Hello all, I signed up to this site in March but havn't spent anytime on it till a couple days ago. Pretty kickass site. Anyways, I am 8 batches in and can't wait to start the all grain thing when I have all the equipment needed to do so. Looks like there are some good people around here...

I am an extract brewer and have been trying to achieve a +9% beer for a couple batches. The batches always end up coming out right around 8% when they should have been around 9%. I've done a barley wine a tripple abbey and most recent an imperial chocolate stout. Based on my final gravity for...
