Ah, well the freezer went tits up. I don't understand what killed it. The day before I started working on it. I got a lot of frozen ice on the back wall. I guess maybe in the process of setting my co2 tank down hard or one of the cornies I must of broken something. I just purchased the 9.0 cu...

I asked for help from my wife while bottling. Something simple like handing my bottles or holding the racking cane. She refused and told me that she would only help if she got to do the fun part (filling bottles or capping).

It never got colder after I re-wired it. It just held steady

I suspected the wiring too. I double checked and it is sound. My only guess is the starter relay / overload.

What would a freon leak look like? I don't see any oil or dye dripping. I am going to double check my connections. Also would it matter which side of the cord I made switchable? I cut the wire that lead to the original thermostat and left the wire that ran to the compressed whole.

I've started a keezer build in May. I got a used chest freezer. It has worked fine for 8 months. I had the the temp controller wired into a junction box then just plugged in the freezer into the receptacle. I finished it up 2 days ago and I wired the controller into the fridge's wiring. At...

I can totally relate to what your saying. I've tried to dial in ph, temp, mash thickness, crush etc. I've read tons of post, articles and listened to several podcasts. I was talking to a fellow homebrewer about his process and the one thing he said that stuck out was he stirred his mash a lot. I...

This is 95% done. Just need to finish some c02 lines and drip tray then that's it.

I would second the my ugly junk thread. I use the mill and with a little DIY I have a pretty servicable piece of equiptment. This is my stealth version of the corona mill.

Sorry, I was trying to link to the page that has, External threaded, tapping insert for wood. Although Mcmaster-carr has made my angry. They won't ship to me because I live on the border and they say they don't wan't to mess with U.S. export law.

FYI while I would not recommend the canned kits although, there are some who make good beer from them. You don't have to go all grain to make good beer. You can make excellent (award winning) beer with extract. The key is ingredient selection i.e. making sure they are fresh. If you have a local...

I'm looking for a secondary CO₂regulator w/gauge that has a barbed 5/16 inlet and a check valve with a 5/16 barb on the outlet. And has the little mounting bracket to mount on a wall.

Ok I see that you would have to prime the lines first. I wonder how hard are the fittings to get. I went ahead and picked one up. I'll try it out and report back.

I want some intel about this pump too. Would throttling the output/input negatively affect the pump? And are those fittings hard to find? Would you have to gravity feed the lines for it to work?

Aye I thought about that. I am a law enforcement officer so unfortunately if I knowingly break the law i'll probably be out of a career.

I also thought to make it a judging thing but the tabc says only 2-5 individuals can sample.
