So I bought one of the aquarium thermostats from ebay that I have seen mentioned a lot in these forums. I was wondering If anyone knows where I could find the temperature probes local? They didnt come with the thermostat, and they said they would send another but it still has not come. are...

Well that is good to know lol. I thought it was a sanitizer for sure. But it says cleanser on it. At least i know what to try now. I am surprised my batches haven't been more infected than a little taste.

For sanitizer I use B-rite 1 tbps per gallon in warm water and then rinse 2 or 3 times with cold water. Today I bought a six pack of New Belgium's Trippel Belgian style ale and I tasted a hint of this taste/smell in it. It is the first commercial beer I have encountered with this taste. But its...

Ok so the caramel cream seems to be coming along well, i used tap water on that one still, but right now I dont taste that soapy plastic taste. I also just made a Belgian style wit and on the second day of fermentation it smells very soapy some reason. It smells like the taste I spoke of so I am...

I made this yesterday. The only thing i messed up on was thinking it was a 5gal batch lol. So I didnt use all the wort and got it to about 1.056 OG. Smells great, fermentation is going crazy! Had to put a blow off tube on it.

Going to make this one today probably any more on how it turned out? When you say less orange do you mean less than the recipe calls for? I made a orange clove wheat before, but it didnt turn out all that well. I am hoping this will be a little bit more normal of a beer.

So i cant decide what I want to make next. I have been in the mood for lighter beer lately, but I also like thick stouts with a lot of character. I am not a brown ale or IPA person so much. Pales can be good. If you have any extract brews with or without steeping grains that you think I might...

Ya i still can only do a 3gallon boil or so, someday soon i will get a turkey fryer.

Cool thanks for the heads up. I can't wait to get started kegging

I went with this kit http://www.beveragefactory.com/draftbeer/kits/SHPCK-BALL_1keg_homebrew_party_kit.shtml I probably will get a door tap pretty soon after I get this, and probably another keg but I was low on money so this is what i started with. I added the 5lb Co2 tank as well

So I bought my keg setup. Should be here in a week or so. I am excited!

I have used both, currently I am doing DME. The next thing I am going to try is bottled water. Can you do all grain without a full boil? Thanks for all the replies.

So what does everyone do when they need to sleep but keep having beer projects flash through their mind?

thanks everyone. I just ordered a dual stage on ebay. Cant wait to put it all together and get it working.

I am trying to keep beer at a lower temp than my house 68 degrees but at a warmer temp then the garage 40 degrees.

I am having trouble keeping a fridge at 60 degrees. Either the fridge is off or being in a cold garage it keeps at around 45 degrees on warm setting. Is this normal or does my fridge just suck? my garage gets really cold in Colorado winters.

but to do all grain I need a lot more equipment, I don't have the money:(

Ok I will try it. If you use bottled you dont need to boil it do you?

I have done a few since then and I don't think that they were lager yeast right now I have a German ale yeast in my caramel cream ale batch, so I hope that it works out! But that's funny that one was a lager yeast the instructions were still for ale...dang box kits. That was the only box kit I...

municipal. I have boiled all of it from the tap
