So this tub thing is not working out, had to take out last night wort goes back up in temp. Need some sort of alternative controlled environment to ferment my wort. What is the least expensive option, converting a mini fridge?

So before I left for work this morning, I found an old 48 qt igloo cooler that I filled with cold water, submerged my fermentation bucket, and put in two ice packs. Hope this does the trick for today :(. Gonna be a long two weeks.

sorry to bother the forum but tried our first brew last night. ran into multiple problems. besides the air lock getting stepped on and cracked in 3 pieces which we were able to tape back up in interim before replacing and fill with water, we also forgot to add back the last galon of water...

Was hoping for some help here, just had a frame custom built. Followed some plans I found for a HERMS style system. Need to run the gas lines and don't know where to start. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Just had a new brew frame built, based on some diagrams which I found while browsing the net. I originally wanted to purchase the frame from rubystreetbrewing.com but it was just too much money. As I am working with a limited budget I had a friend help me build this frame CLICK HERE at his...
