I recently found a 5 cu. ft. Haier on Craigslist, bought a johnson ETC, and currently have it taking care of a weizenbock. My only problem with it is that because of the ledge inside the freezer, I can only fit one 5 gal carboy in it. You might make sure whatever one you choose will suit your...

Thanks, I'm off to the homebrew shop for yeast and light DME. Is it possible to keep some yeast from a starter for use later on?

Hey guys, I'm on my second brew, I used a Coopers wheat lme, 2 lb muntons dme, 1lb sugar, threw in some bitter orange peel, coriander and cumin at the last half of a 20 minute boil, pitched safbrew s33. I racked to secondary (let the debate begin) after a week. My question concerns the color. I...
