Making a crazy assumption right now, but you Mash at 170 degree's? I normally transfer from my HLT when it gets to 164, which hits right around 154 once fully transferred and mixed in with the grain. Then I let that sit for an hour and transfer to kettle on low flame. Then I mash out with a...

PM'd you a few days ago, in case you missed it.

I've got a blog i had been meaning to revamp for my homebrewing. I can host them there if you'd like.

When I got my cheapo craigslist refrigerator I did bleach, air dry, bleach, air dry and then rubbed it down with some cut lemons from my backyard. Pretty much took care of the odor. Also for rust I did sand paper, petroleum jelly, rustoleum primer, and finally chalkboard paint.

Whelp, the local homebrew shop sells kegs that are 25 inches tall, so time to scour the internet for some shorter kegs. Any recommendations?

Currently I'm using an upright refrigerator/freezer combo to ferment in with a Johnson controller. I was planning on turning it into my kegerator after building a fermentation chamber, but then noticed something. My corny kegs can fit into the top freezer if laid down. This has lead me to what...
