Hello all- I'd like to decorate the 1x4 piece of cedar that I'm using for the collar of my keezer with beer labels that I have collected. Curious what everyone things would be the best thing to put on as a top coat. I was thinking about glueing them down then maybe applying a water based...

Tom- I just wanna double check that you only used silicon to glue the collar to the lid. Hate that I'm paranoid. I'm getting ready to do my collar with a 1x4 piece of cedar and just want to be double sure. Great post. Thanks for your effort.

Excellent. Thanks.

Could you elaborate?

That is the package date. Yeah is told me to use 13 packs. Ha.

Quick noob question, sorry. I'm making an 11/11/11 wee heavy this wknd. The scottish wyeast 1728 is from june an the OG on the beer is roughly 1.100. Will it be enough to make a 2L starter on a stir plate or should I bump it up? Appreciate any help.

So I've heard JZ mention on a few podcasts that if he is shooting to ferment at say 50 that he will pitch and maintain temps at 44 for first 24 hrs then let it free rise to 50 where he holds it steady. I've heard him mention the same process for ales. How long does it take for the beer to...

The fact that I'm asking this probably tells you I should not be jumping into this but . . . .ch 15 is open of how to brew and I have my table in hand and can't find bicarbonate. Please help or tell me to put down the water table. Thanks.

Thank you sir!

Hello all- So I brewed JZ's Evil Twin on 7/24. On 8/3 I added hops for dry hopping into the primary. First time dry hopping in primary. I had gotten two days of the same gravity reading before I did this. On 8/8 I cold crashed at 38 degrees for three days. First time cold crashing as...

So it has pretty much stayed in range for the last week. I have it set for 66 with 2 diff. The freezer comes on about ever two hours cools it to 65 then it basically floats it's way back to 68 gradually and then repeats. I'm going to try the one degree differential and see how often the freezer...

Because of my tendencies to mess things up I bought the wired one from more beer. So who knows I'll keep monitoring.

I'll try the one degree diff. My only concern there is that it will wear the compressor. I've got the probe covered with bubble wrap then tapped to outside of carboy. Thanks for the continued advice.

Yeah I have it set for cooling 65 with a two degree diff. The freezer was off when it read 62 but I don't understand how it can get to 62. Isn't that the whole pt of the controller to keep it in a tight range?

Thanks. I did that and came out this am and the temp said 62. Maybe I'm thinking about it wrong but should it go down to 62 when set at 65 cooling and a 2 diff. I'll give a call to the more beer guys. Thanks for the insight.

Is my thinking correct. I have a 2 stage controller. Freezer is in hot garage so I don't need heating device. Would I set the first stage to cooling 65 with a 2 diff. Then set second stage to cooling 62 with a 2 diff? If I wanted to ferment at 65. Is that too tight of a range. Thanks for...

Kelly K 1.I use the garden hose to fill my HLT. 2.Friends are AG brewers and make great beer so when they said use it as is I listened. Which is surprising because I usually try to make things harder than they need to be. 3.Looking back through my notes I might have oversparged the PM...
