Lol so I'm picking up on that its nothing special. Found it at a barn sale and no one knew anything about it, just that it was In a bar some years ago. Thought maybe someone on here might have seen something like this before.

It looks like a old jockey box. Just trying to figure how old it is.

Thank you to everyone on your input I have a lot better understanding now and hopefully this batch come out better than the first 2 even though I messed up the hop additions. So far my fermenting temp has been spot on since sunday.

So unionrdr you let the primary go for almost a week longer after FG is reached. I have been moving mine over to a glass carboy after FG has been reached. Could that be why I'm getting off flavors too. On this batch I'm adding a flavoring to it so would it be advisable to just leave it in the...

I didn't know that I could have let it sit awhile and it would have been more drinkable I poured all five gallons worth in the sink. Now I know to just let it sit a bit and then see what happens, I guess I was too impatient. So when you say the yeast are know to consume fusel alcohols with a...

Well the first two were really bitter which now I see why, I was doing the hop additions all wrong. They both tasted like I poured a bottle of vodka in the fermenter before I bottled it. I'm assuming that happened because the temp was way to high while fermenting, both were around 75 to 80...

That's exactly what happened yesterday. I read it twice and started to think about it and then it clicked that I have been doing it wrong the whole time. But it was to late to change it up.:(

Interesting ours is only a 2 year old Samsung. Yesterday I had to sit my 5 gallon pot over two of the burners to help it heat up quicker. The burners also turn on then turn off after a minute or so and then back on, really sucks. I have been doing some reading on how to help my boiling situation...

I think that some of my issues are the boiling. I have a flat stove top that hates 3 gallon boils and takes forever to get to 212 but eventually gets there. Thanks for the help guys now I know where my issues are that I need to correct.

I'm thinking of converting my brew kettle to a boiling kettle. Basically adding this to help with boiling on the stove top. Will this heating element work: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Camco-2000-Watt-120-Volt-Screw-In-Type-High-Watt-Density-Water-Heater-Element-15120/204219916 Is there...

Damn it I figured I was doing it wrong I didn't realize it till after I starting doing it today and then it was too late. Thank you for helping me maybe I can get the forth one right.:mug:

I know I should already have this down but I think this is why all three of my brews have not come out very good, bad actually. My kit instructions say to add : 1/4 oz hops @45 minutes 1/4 oz hops @20 minutes 1/4 oz hops @10 minutes 1/4 oz hops @ 5 minutes then boil for the final 5...

so I checked it when I got home this evening and the ambient temp is 58 with the water in the bucket at 60. What I don't understand is that the controller says 62? I guess I need to invest in something to heat it up a bit.

Thanks for the help guys. I checked it this morning and with it set to 65 the water in the bucket was at 62. What should I use to get rid of the humidity in the freezer or do I need to worry about that.

OK thank you very much now it's starting to make a little since. As far as the differential that's the difference in temp correct? Depending on what it's set at. Like if I have it at 65 with the diff. set at 2 it won't go higher than 67, or am I wrong on that. I just went and checked on it...

Yeast is us 05. I have my fermenting bucket filled with room temp water to test before I start using. I have my set point at 67. I have the differential set at 2. Now what I don't understand is what the temp offset and anti-short cycle delay is used for.

I am trying to hook up a prewired A419 Johnson temp controller to my chest freezer. My question is what setting do I set the factory temp controller to when I plug this in? Im going to be putting a Blond Ale in to ferment so what is a good temp for this style of beer? I have read that 65-68 is a...

That's what I figured but wasnt sure if there was a set amount of either. So I know I just add to secondary for a week and then just taste and see if that was enough? Then what just add more and for how much longer? Should I use a different yeast? Some of the stuff I read said when using...

I have changed my mind on what my next brew will be and I have picked the love2brew easy blonde extract kit. I am wanting to add apricot flavoring to it when I secondary. So my question is how much should I add. I bought the brewers best liquid apricot flavoring which is only 4oz. The...

Hello all This is going to be my third brew and I'm wanting to play around with the recipe like changing up the hops and maybe the yeast that comes with this kit. I'm wanting to make it a little less "hoppy" / bitter but not sure which hops to use. What hops would you guys recommend using to...
