Frosting is a symptom of a low charge. You could get it topped off. but if it happens again fairly soon, might be time to think about alternitives.

Low freon cut off switch isn't a given. Measuring the compressor for ohms between phases and ground can shed some light. (unplugged of course) (had a few, so not going to give specs. Catch me before beer:30 :D ) And if its a low freon cut out, if its low, it needs a recharge and more...

What about having a rubber stamp made?

LOL Bubba ain't the spiciest hop on the bunch. I meant to make a new thread. :drunk:

I grabbed these: http://www.midwestsupplies.com/kleen-plug.html

How I spent my afternoon Pic isn't so great. The wood is Tulip wood, looks a lot better then the pic. (Wasn't too much fun on a metal lathe with hand carving chisels.:drunk:) I thought I had a great idea for the medallion on top. I cut the top of a food can and stuck it to the...

I work with ultra high purity CO2, (usually require bottle certs for commissioning machine). Medical grade can be as low as 99.5 %(ie: 2.5) I use/need 4.8 (ie:99.998% pure yes it matters a LOT) Food grade falls in the 99.5 range, but the diff is the amount of 'other stuff' (as a comparison a...

For what its worth, icing of the coils is typically low freon charge.

Its an assembly lube. I'd think if you use starsan, its slippery enough if you assembly it while still wet.

Cool beans! Just got my keggin stuff sans fridge (on order). Will order the small keg for a batch thats in dry hopping. Thanks for the good news.

Call your CC and see if you can get a local HVAC guy come out and have that bill deducted from what BF gets. Or just put a stop on the payment and see how fast it gets resolved. explain to the CC about the shipping costs.

Been doing 1 gal batches and about to step up to 5g. But had been pondering the 2.5 & 3 gal kegs for recipe creation. Any probs with under filling a keg?

Just shooting from the hip.....(and opinionated!) But PVC is used in drainage, not supply. CPVC can be used for supply. CPVC has a melting point of 212C and working temp of 90C (but where is its outgassing point?) Plastics are usually made from oil/petroleum doesn't sound all that safe...

I'm diggin the BIAB method. Should I add in the 5.2 stuff or just let it roll. (I do have pH meters, but never remember to use them :drunk: )

Its not as of yet, but will be. Since I have the whole house automated, its just the time to code up the PIC to use my protocol. Plus then I can ramp up/down the temps as the fermentation progresses (and all from 1500 miles away from home. I travel a lot)

I loved his advertising pic, YATC temperature controler; isn't that redundant? I whipped one up with a PIC u-controller. Plan on adding a XBee for wireless monitoring and adjustment via my home automation.

OG 1059 FG 1018 A lot of hops? .1oz? Beer Tools said I'd hit about 16-18 IBUs. (and yes, 60 minute boil on the hops) (the Citra was only dry hoped)

I've brewed a bunch of 1 gal batches and finally getting the nerve to start trying them (first batch ferm'd @ a high temp and was fusel; go figure. So I was a bit gun shy) But just tried a APA with some rye (just me messing with ingredients). Crystal clear, brownish color (But I can't taste...

Pretty much. But gotta read. No perfumes etc. And if I remember right, sodium percarbonate is cleaning soda. Check out this podcast: http://www.thebrewingnetwork.com/shows/Brew-Strong/Brew-Strong-11-10-08-Cleaning They go into a section about acidic vs alkaline cleaners and how one...

Hmmmm Guess thats why there aren't too many dry lager yeasts. I do have a fridge I made a temp control for. (needs a little tweaking, wanna add in a XBee for wireless control into the home automation system) Maybe I'll just bite the bullet and try out the liquids.
