I don't how the F that thing got in my flask but it did. I'll back up. I made a yeast starter (1000ml) last Thursday night to pitch on Saturday and found a mosquito floating in the flask. Must have gotten in while I was prepping the yeast pack to pitch. I put the starter in the fridge and...

Interesting. I contemplated doing the same thing recently but can't bring myself to potentially ruin a batch of beer

Just got a killer deal on a 8.8 Kenmore for $150.00. Brand new in the box. The hood is dented in like hell but the seal stays together when closed. I just got a Johnson Controls digital thermostat controller and am curious on where to punch a small hole for the temp probe? Should I go in...
