Count me in!

I know this is an old thread, but I have run into the same issue with Omega. Their tech folks confirmed that when the ‘soaker’ solution is gone, I am to use 4 or 7 buffer. I did order a new probe, and notice large bubbles midway up. I think this is indeed a case where the solution is to just...

I do exactly what you do, let the freezer squeeze out the last few degrees.

I used the same glass carboys since I started in the late 80s with never a problem. Then last summer my 20 year old nicked one on the garage floor and it shattered, luckily while empty. I couldn't believe it for such a small scratch. Now I am using plastic, I kept two of the glass for aging...
