Lol. My diet consists of spent grains and potatoes... It's my garage fridge. I have more beer in my keezer.

I'm gonna be the "dick" of the thread that has the hook up in Riverside County.

Just starting my Memorial Day weekend.

True. I make hef as my house beer and often times my blow off tube comes off at night. So much activity with the yeast, nothing will get in.

I'm doing my first lagger but I feel like I did the d-rest too early. I pitched primary on 3/14 at 52 degrees. I did the rest on 3/19 at 62 degrees and planned to keep it for 2-3 days. However, I've just been reading at HBT that the primary should be around 1.5-2 weeks before d-rest. The...

I left it empty with prob hanging close to the middle. I ran it until it was 10 degrees lower. Once the target temp hit, it turned off. However, it turned back on again 15-20 minutes.

Thanks for the vote of confidence. I did a test run and still have some more tweaks since it's not holding temp long enough.

Did I waste time and money on this build?

Hopefully this works.

It's in the garage. My neighbor said to put the foil side away (outside part) of the chamber. During the summer it gets really hot inside the garage. Apparently, the foil would "reflect" the heat away.

I'm building a fermentation chamber this weekend. I noticed that the foam insulation board that I purchased had one side white and other other side silver. Which side do I install it in? I've searched the threads but I couldn't find any answers.
