-1 insulating probe.

In this case it makes sense to have your probe in the water.

Maybe get a hydrometer?

I believe that placing your probe in water/ beer is a bad idea unless you are actually heating the liquid via a water heater element or something of this nature. It will take a great deal of heat to bring the fluid up to temp if your using a radiator or fan heater, then it will continue to heat...

I'm having similar problems with the last couple batches. I used liquid ale yeast and starters but they stopped short of 1.020, started at 1.06+ Not sure what went on with mine. I have since repitched some nottingham from a starter and that has worked on a couple of my carboys. Now i'm...

Here is my custom 3 tier gravity feed system. Build from old desk i pulled out of the college metal dumpster:

I thought you guys would like the brown paper bags. Watch now, it'll be a HBT trend! Rememeber, REUSE is one of the 3 R's.

Well that's sound advice, I drained the lines and flushed with filtered water. In the past I've purged it out with a pint or two and discarded them. I never really sanitized after using PBW, seems unnecessary to me. ...I'll probably start when something goes horribly wrong. lol

I took apart my regulator and i tried in vain to get it to be functional after reassembling it umpteen times, but for the life of me it i couldn't get it to work again. Good luck, interested to see if anyone else knows more about this than me.

I have a full size sankey of homebrew i'm carbing and i have some PBW in the beer line. Just wonder if there is any way it could get back in my keg and spoil the beer. Hopefully all sankey couplers have a check valve in them and or the pressure in the keg is enough to keep it at bay...

This temp controller is way cool! Got it hooked up temporarily, still need to build a 'chamber' out of my closet. But even in my bedroom it's Holding steady at 22-23C! ;) I have the probe against one of the carboys:

I can only speak for the 100qt pots, they are roughly 20"d x 20"h.

Well $109 is pretty cheap, does it come with a lid? After your 9.25% sales tax (at least) that's $119.08. If you decide you want the sandwiched bottom and all that the 80qt Thunder Group w/ lid is $166.99. http://www.instawares.com/thunder-group-stock-pot.thu-slsps080.0.7.htm

How good of a deal did you get? Can you provide a link or anything? I just bought some Thundergroup pots for a 'good deal' 25 gal ss for ~ $183, including shipping. They are just as solid as any other pot as far as i can tell, sandwiched aluminum bottoms with a 1.2 mm thick sidewall they...

Ok, i think it wont last 6 months in the Salmon House! And Golddiggie, when you say good temp control, you mean i want to keep it cool or at fermentation temp or just not let it get hot?? I don't bottle. If i keg some up now how long is the shelf life of carbed beer? I've never given my...

So i went a little crazy and brewed maybe 60 gallons of beer in January and February, now i'm doing a silly detox with my special lady friend and will not be drinking for a few weeks. And it might take a while to get through all of that beer after i start drinking again, especially since its...

OK, my build is done, i had to melt through the plastic by heating a razor with a propane torch, held it with some vice grips. I originally Tried to score it but after like 50 scores i realized it wasn't going to happen that way. Perhaps my project box was thicker than usual, i dunno.
