Building a keezer with a space for air flow around the freezer is a waste of time. 1/4 plywood has and R factor of less than .33. Over engineering is over rated.

Sometimes I rinse out my kettle if it looks dusty. Sometimes I don't. Haven't noticed any difference in the beer. I don't scrub my mash tun when I'm done. Just rinse it out and rinse it out and run some water through the valve to make sure there are no bugs in it before I use it. Other stuff I...

I didn't know Bill Clinton was a homebrewer.

I think it has been mentioned before, but I am enjoying Travelers. My 14 year old are about 8 shows into it and it has been a good watch.

It works for me.

In an old house like that, painting the trim and cabinets should be illegal, I refinished the cabinets in my last house, strip, stain and poly. They looked really great. The trend in this area with 15-20 year old houses is to paint the cabinets that were originally stained and finished. The...

At least I didn't have to tie them down...;)

Tom Petty said that today's country music is just bad pop music with a fiddle. I agree. I hear you on the kitchen remodel, Ischiavo. When we moved to the house we are in we bought a foreclosure. It wasn't in really bad shape, but we've been working on little projects for over 5 years. Changing...

My 14 year old is the same. Solving the damn things in under a minute.

I've said it before, but I guess I'll say it again. If I were to do it over, I would have just gone with a rectangular cooler ala Denny. If you don't fly sparge, there is no need for a round cooler and the Denny's system is cheap, simple and effective. http://www.dennybrew.com/

I am a big fan of my Chromebook. It cost about $200 and does everything that I need it to do (except Beersmith). It is fast and I don't have to worry about viruses. It really is nothing more than a tablet with a keyboard, but it serves the purpose nicely.

Yeah, I'd seen this one before. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4Ao-iNPPUc

Hey Matt! Passedpawn set me straight on it. Just copy and past the URL from the top of the page.

What would you call this beer? George. I would call it George

I'm not. I ripping on you being a ass about it. I really don't give a **** about it. If you think it is the be all and end all of brewing, more power to you. I think I make pretty good beer. You think you make pretty good beer, but really, it is after all, only beer. Cheers

Dan, this thread is rambling. Some of us ramble more than others. I don't ever look at it as dead, just resting... BTW, I don't buy flank steak because I think it is too expensive for the cut of meat. For that type of meat, I will usually get a cheap London Broil and marinated it for a day or...

Really? Some day I hope to reach the enlightenment of the snobs in this thread. Until then? Who the hell cares? As stated in my sig, Do what you like, Brew what you like. Don't be a tool.

Edit: re read original post. Take carboy and fill it with water, put your probe directly on the side of your carboy and insulate it from the air with bubble wrap. Let it run for about a day and see if it stabilizes. If so, do the same with your fermenting beer. It will settle at your set temp.

Contrarian/"unpopular" beer opinion? It's just ****ing beer.

Eh, whatever. ;) The bottom line is that the tube rotted out at the bottom and needed to be replaced. This^^^
