temperature control

Hey Everyone! I have a VERY lightly used Immersion Pro that I am selling. It is 100% operational and I have only used it on two batches. I am moving my brewing operation to a location with too little clearance, so it just doesn't fit on any of my fermentors in the cabinet. This unit is...

Back in February I decided to pre-order the Pico Z, and along with doing so I had to get all the necessary equipment to properly Ferment and Dispense the magnificent beers that the machine would be able to make. After looking at many Chest Freezers and Kegerators the wife and I got to talking...

Finally have a fridge just for fermenting, so I'm trying my first lager. I have no data regarding my setup, e.g., when my set the temp controller to X, how cold does it really get inside, etc. I have an older temp controller, with a dial for the target temps and the fat probe. After boil, I...

evening everyone, I've purchased a 3kw heater for my keggle I shall be building I'm looking to build a controller which will work that will be able to read the temperature and turn the element on or off accordingly. I built something similar sometime ago for the fermentation fridge using an...

Hi, Does temperature fluctuation effect fermentation and beer quality? I started brewing this month. After doing some research I setup a 2nd hand fridge with an InkBird temp control as managing a tank with ice was to much of a hassel. Another reason is that where I live its summer and...

Hey everybody, So I have made many posts about this and read many threads and gathered countless amounts of information but I am looking for a few more answers. I recently got back to my refrigerator which I intend to turn the freezer side into a kegerator with two taps and the fridge side into...

Hello all. So to step up the quality of my brewing the next phase is a fermentation temperature control setup. The lady and I were walking through BJ's yesterday and since I am now prowling for a ferm chamber I walked down the appliances aisle and found this wine refrigerator...

I'm ready to make a solid purchase that I know will pay for itself in no time. I'm looking at all of my options over these different sites and need some help on making the right decision for my set up. I'm brewing 5 or 6-gallon batches on a regular basis and have two fermenters always filled...

The highest approved temp I’ve seen advertised for a Saison yeast is 80°, but I’ve seen several posts on one forum or another by brewers who say the let theirs get between 80°-95°. What’s the deal with the discrepancy? Has anyone had a positive experience with letting theirs get above 80°? If...

hey all, I’ve been wanting to brew beers for years, and finally bit the bullet and bought a kit, and I’m way stoked. I just brewed a saison, and, while a fun experience, I’m thinking I’m having temp control problems, since the beer taste especially yeasty and kind of strange. I’d love to be...

Hi all, Would love to seek your inputs on my first brew. Currently finished the boiling phase and it’s been fermenting for 3 days already. I’m following the recipe as provided below: https://www.brewersfriend.com/2010/08/29/german-lager-recipe-all-grain/ The problem here is that my...

Got a free wine Fridge from a neighbor with a bad circuit board (controller). I want to turn it into a fermentor and bypass that board that seams to control power to compressor and cooling fans based on temp, and push button settings as well as a light. I am able to determine the hot/neutral...

HI All, I attempting to make a Hefeweizen recently, and to keep it cool, tried the swamp cooler. The problem that i ran into with this is that when i put the hef into it i dropped a 1 gallon water jug to keep the temps down. It fermented at what i think was 60* or so, but i wasn't able to amply...

I just purchased and received three of these for my three kettle system: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00899A4LY/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 However, I am wondering if I should cut a hole in my kettles to fit just these sensors or if I should get some additional larger tube-like item where I...

So today was my first brew on the M&B system. I got the system as an easier alternative to traditional BIAB for winter brews. Overall I have been impressed by the unit. I did tests before today, and it brought my water up to temp in a very reasonable amount of time. However, while I have many...

Hi All, As I have recently returned to home brewing I am keenly interested in attaining a small used fridge for lagering and fermenting. I have been able to find many threads on HBT that refer to an STC1000+ controller build and such which will allow me to have better temperature control...

Hi everyone. I brewed a barleywine using WY1028 last Saturday and started fermentation at 64F (18C). After high krausen I ramped up to 70F (21C) and plan to hold it there until the 3-4 week mark. Afterwards, I plan to transfer to secondary for bulk aging for at least 6 months. My question is -...

I have a recipe for a sour that I want to brew, but it says it needs to ferment for 5 days at over 100 degrees, before letting it cool to room temperature. I have a heating element in my fermentation chamber (chest freezer w/temp control) but I'm worried about trying to keep it that hot...

So I understand that there is a longer lag time than ales when it comes to lagers, just curious if I should be worried? I pitched my yeast ~50 hours ago from when I took these pictures last night. It is aproaching 65 hours now and and used my airstone and air pump for 20 min to oxygenate prior...
