I'm in... cheers!

ehedge20, did you replace the probe? Or you used that as your thermowell? kgalle, here's some photo's: You can see that the probe has a crimped edge, this is what is catching on the thermowell tube.

Got a new Johnson Digital Temp Controller today and a bung with a dip tube for the probe. Excited to try and actually control fermentation temps now, but... The probe doesn't fit into the tube. The crimps where the metal cap is attached to the wire are just slightly too fat. Anyone have...

Cool... Thanks for the ideas! Not sure about that liquid smoke stuff... But I will be steeping for sure!

Looking around at turkey fryer burners to take my brewing process out on the patio... And to hopefully speed up bringing things to temperature! What is a recommended BTU fryer for 5 gallon batchs? I did a search as I'm sure this has been asked before, but couldn't find the answer...

I'm looking for a good lightly smoked porter recipe... Anyone got a good one for extract? Thanks!

Thanks Mc!

If you are worried about the heat trapped by the blanket... Use an old T-shirt instead, and if it's warm spray it down with water or put it in a water bath, the evaporation will help keep it cool... And the shirt will block some of the light, not as much as a blanket, but it sounds like there...
