Looking for advise on a wort chiller build. I am researching coiled copper and see there is a few types and they are rated different plus a huge price difference. Also length? I have a 5 gallon brew kettle and want to utilize as much volume I can for hop flavor. Any suggestions? Thanks in...

Ok. Found a screw at the back of tstat housing inside the fridge. Had to remove/loosen to gain access. Turned 1/ 4 clockwise and now getting colder temps. Tanks for input. Hope this helps someone else. Thanks for input. Cheers

Yea. I'm gonna try and look for the screw. I've heard this works if it has one. I start cold crashing yesterday morning a out. 7 a.m. I set for 34 degrees and it was At 70-72 when I left. Got home at 6 and was hovering around 39-40. I had sensor taped to fermenter and insulated. Works real...

I am trying to cold crash a summer ale for the first time. No matter what I can't get the fridge much below 40. It's a sayno mini fridge and i built stc-1000 for a controller. The dial on the inside for temp control i have set to the coldest setting. The fridge does not have a freezer...

Well...thanks to all the input from this thread I have built my tstat controller and found a Sayno fridge on Craigslist for $50. Total I have less than $100 invested. It's working great. I insulate the temp prob and stuck to side of bucket and t literally keeps temp within a degree. Thanks...

Thanks for info everyone. One more question. I am bottling for now. Can I put them in my fridge laying on sides or do they have to be up right position? It's almost done bubbling and I'm going to leave in primary for a couple weeks then bottle or should I bottle as soon as FG is correct and...

Thanks el caro. I will try it and see. Feel like there so many ways of doing this stuff

@2bluedwagon. Yea. It seems more work for something that may not do a lot. I'm confused on why the kit would want u to transfer so early. Is 5 days good for still bubbling? How long should I wait to bottle after its done bubbling? Pardon my noob was but there are so many opinions and it...

When I am ready to bottle should I cold crash before? I am brewing a summer ale. Been at 68 for about 5 days. Still have a few weeks to go possibly but trying to be proactive.

M2noob. That's kinda how I feel. How long have u been brewing?

Getting into brewing beer. I currently have a partial grain summer ale fermenting at 68. It's been bubbling for 4 days and slowing down. The directions say its good habit to rack to secondary fermenting chamber when fermenting is almost complete but not finished. Not sure what to do?

Thanks for the information. That helps a lot.

Just picked up a controller. Couple things though. What gauge and amp wiring should I use for internal and main plug? I read that someone just cut a little more off plug wiring and used that. Also what rating outlet should I use? 15a 125 volts or 20a 125 volts. Does it matter? May be dumb...

Edit. See your comment above on type.

What kind of fridge is that? Been looking around. Nothing seems like it will fit.

@tbbrewer. Thanks for input. I see these kits online that sell 2 buckets and carboy. Not sure why I would need all that. I'm curious on the fridge model as well. Looks perfect for that

Thanks for input. I like how u flipped the bottom drawer. How much room do you have from the bottom to top like that?

Yea. What type of fridge are you using? Any other trucks in mid?

Yea. I will have to. It's gonna be close. Not sure what else I could use due to space. Really don't want to use a cooler with bath water if I don't have to. Any other ideas. Space is a issue right now.
