    WTB: Good Kegerator or Beer Fridge (Chicago/Milwaukee)

    I'm looking for a good, affordable basement fridge or Kegerator for beer storage and kegging. My current dorm size fridge won't chill a 5 gallon batch of bottles and I'm thinking of making the move to kegging. Plus, it'll make me finally starting finishing the basement for a home bar ;). I...

    HydroFarm Digital Thermostat and Heat Mat

    Ok, I figured I'd close out this thread. I decided against the seed mat because I was concerned about being able to appropriately monitor the temperature. I de decided to go the heat lamp route. I bought the following: Zoo Med Deluxe Porcelain Clamp Lamp with 8.5-Inch Dome, Black...

    HydroFarm Digital Thermostat and Heat Mat

    Thanks for the replies. The Fermwap is interesting, but it is really the cost of the thermostat that is limiting factor. $60-$100 for the thermostat to control the Femwrap is pretty high. I noticed the 68 degree temperature limit too, but most of the ales I've brewed usually call for that as...

    Masterbuilt Electric Turkey Fryer

    Thanks lamarguy. I was hoping someone had used these before for and I'm glad to hear that it works will for your rig (which is way more complex than I'm looking at). This unit is on sale at the local Bass Pro Shops for $99. I guess, the worst that could happen is I'm out $100 and I go back to...

    Masterbuilt Electric Turkey Fryer

    I've read that in other posts that the fryers don't seem to be able to get a good boil, however, I was interested in this one because it can "Boil or steam 10lbs of crab legs and shrimp". Sounds like it was made to boil large amounts of water, although according to the manual, it "may take up...
