I recently had a thermostat go out on me and had my keg of beer freeze over. I am changing the thermostat as soon as it comes in today but wanted to know if anyone has used a temperature monitor alarm? I am looking for one that is Wi-Fi capable and will send me an alert if the temp drops to...

I brewed an APA 2 days ago. Immediately the next day I noticed the santizer level was down in the airlock. I thought it was faulty airlock and switch it out with another with new sanitizer. This morning it happened again. I am leaving it alone as of now. I have not noticed any active...

I just made my first brew this past weekend and used leaf hops during boil. Everything went very well and the primary fermentation is off to a good start at day 3. I am getting ready for my next batch and want to do an IPA. The hops involved are plenty and want to do a dry hop also. What is...
