So I have a few questions to make sure I understand all of this correctly. I have a terrible time finding information on these window AC air conditioner units. So I have a 5000 BTU Haier windowshaker that I'd like to build into a kegerator. I have it framed in already, but I want to make sure...

So I actually got 2 STC-1000 controllers. Hooked the first one up- got an EE error immediately. That means the probe is open or shorted. So I opened the second one up. Had it working great. Then I tried to feed it through the side of the freezer, and must have pulled too hard or something...

So I have my STC-1000 hard-wired into a chest freezer. As soon as I plug it in, I'm getting an alarm and displays "EE". The instructions say that means short circuit or open circuit, but the english is very broken. So I believe I have it wired correctly. The black coming from the plug is...

http://i.imgur.com/rZnV2MJ.png So that link is the picture of the inside of the compressor chamber. It looks to me like the neutral (white) goes straight to the compressor, and the back goes to the thermostat, then to the compressor. So basically those 2 black wires currently through...

So I'm working on my basement bar, and i'm putting a kegerator chamber into it. I have a mini fridge I picked up off of CL. I started tearing it apart, so it's already junk for sure, but I was hoping to use the innards for my cooling. However, I didn't do enough research... until now. Now i...

So I was going to brew a Pale Ale tomorrow. My original plan was to use an old yeast pack that I have (May 2013) and build it back up with 2 starters. I only have a 1L flask, and now I'm going to brew tomorrow, so I only have time for 1 starter. Do you think it would build up in time? I know...

Hey guys, My local club is doing a competition on Feb. 15th and the theme is wood. I currently have a Scottish Ale in secondary that is ready to bottle. I want to transfer 1 gallon of it to a smaller jug and impart wood. Obviously I have maybe a week before I need to prime and bottle to make...

I'm sure these questions are asked all the time, but I didn't see this particular model. Time to buy my pH meter. Just hoping to get some feedback. The pH-2011 model from them is under $20, and it says it's accurate to .05. Is this true? Does it have a short life? Has anybody purchased this one...

So I've got 3 batches of all-grain under my belt, and a few things keep sort of bugging me here. 1) My first beer still isn't carbonated, after conditioning for a month. I put 4.5 oz of corn sugar into the fermenter and gently stirred before bottling. When we did extract, I always used 5 oz...

Hey guys, just wondering if this happened to anybody else. In december, i ordered a subscription to Brew Your Own through Amazon. It was on special for $14. Anyways, yesterday I got a message from Amazon that my subscription has been cancelled. Amazon is telling me it's not actually sold...

Just got a new all-grain setup. Here's my details. Let me know what you think. Based on a lighter brown porter. Hoping to keep it ligher and a bit more balanced so there's a chance my lame "non-beer-drinking" friends will help drink it. Most of them are Bud/Miller guys and won't drink it if it's...

Got to try 3 of them for the first time last night. Not too bad. I'm excited to get down there and do the tour sometime. It sounds like they have a huge facility. 80bbl system with capacity of about 100k barrels/yr (for comparison, New Glarus did 127k last year). Modest expansions make it 250k...

Hey everyone. I've been reading posts on here for a while now, but I've got an idea for a fairly small startup HERMS system. I want you to let me know if this will work, or if I'm doing something stupid. I want to make a system using only 2 vessels: A BK/HLT which is PID controlled (I don't see...
