Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I don't know why but I had never thought of doing a Belgian stout. I think it's because I have heard some brewers say that Belgian IPAs with American hops just don't work well. I haven't had many, but can't remember a Belgian IPA that I liked. A stout...

what are you fermenting in? secondary or no?

I just uncorked one of these I picked up this weekend. I must say that I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. Now the concept of a Belgian stout is starting to get to me. Does anyone have any other examples of this non-style that they could recommend? I'm ready to do some "research" for...

How many are you looking for? New or used?

What exactly does a chicken's ear look like, anyway?

Sometimes the heat is unnoticeable to the touch on my fermwrap. If your probe is well insulated against the side of the carboy with some bubble wrap, your controller should tell you the temp of your beer.

When it's done fermenting you can stick a spigot in at the bottom of the pumpkin and serve out of it. That would be pretty sweet if I liked pumpkin beers...I guess you'd have to carb it first and then put it back in the pumpkin but that could be accomplished in a couple of days with a CO2 tank...

Had a pretty epic day a couple weekends ago. smoked and canned 6 cases of fall chinook. Also got some in the freezer. The steelies should be here soon...

Looks good. I just did this project a couple of days ago with the same project box you used, except I put a duplex outlet on the front of the box. I like the extension cord idea though. Makes it much easier to fit all the wires in. I had a bit of a time squishing all mine in there with the...

no salt? or will you add it when you put the fish in so it doesn't kill the yeast? never seen dipnets like those. looks pretty fun.

thanks for the response. just wanted to make sure ...

When setting up my controller for the first time I noticed that it has cut-in and cut-out modes apparently used differently for heating and cooling options. It also looks like a jumper wire is required to switch between modes. My question is, if I am going to use a heater in my ferm chamber as...

What's the footprint on the WSM? I'm not familiar with those smokers, but the grill that goes in a UDS is the same one out of the 22" Weber. Which means the drum is about 24" diameter I guess. I've got only one rack in mine and I don't feel like it's a lot of room at all. In fact, I'm...

I second the UDS. If you're handy you can build it yourself easy in 2 or 3 hours. If you're not into that, there are kits available so you don't have to source all the parts. I've never used an egg, but I can tell you the UDS consistently turns out some of the best barbeque you could get...

What he said. You got hooked up!!

We don't have any kind of central air. That is a great idea though. Less dusting is always welcome when you burn a woodtove for heat too. Our place is pretty airtight, so I think an interior filter would do a good job. Thanks for that suggestion.

Thanks for the replies grathan. I saw Austin listed as a good brand while looking around. My wife is really sensitive to allergens so it's probably good to get one of these anyway. And if it scores me points, so much the better. Thanks again

Wildfires in my immediate area have us smoked in and it doesn't look like it's letting up any time soon. I was wondering if anyone out there has a recommendation for an indoor HEPA filter to improve our air quality and mitigate some of the effects of the smoke. I don't have any experience with...

Love it. You've even got a spare place to crash when you're in the doghouse!
