Used frig or freezer too pricey in my area. Live in the St Louis area and check CL every day. People still want $150+ on average for a frig 9+ years old. Freezers are not much better. May be time to look new and pay the premium. I wonder how many brewers buy new rather than used frig or...

For fermentation. Mostly ales, maybe occasional lager. Many deals on craigslist to pass up. Simple standard frig, freezer on the top. Was going to get a freezer, but only have space for a stand up frig at the moment. Just getting a frig and a Johnson digital temp controller. Still...

Thanks in advance.

Brewed on 31 December, and after 3 weeks in fermentation, a 4 weeks of bottling, the wheat is done. Tasted one about 7 days ago, had a nasty after taste. Today, it's perfect. Addiction has started. Would not have been so easy if not for this site. Going for a brown ale next.

LHBS says 70 degrees is ideal for my ale (wheat beer). My room that I plan to keep it in stays pretty constant at 65. Which I read by doing a search on here that 65 is pretty good. So 65 or 70? I know a few degrees can make a big difference.

Christmas came early and got me a home brew kit. Starting small and easy and taking it from there. Microbrewery fan, travelled a lot for work and have tasted some great around the country, but some of the best has been some home brew. Looking forward to the great info on this site.
