This is better news. Thank you for the info guys. I think I might try the r/c fuel line trick, but then again it would be nice to have a dedicated prob for fermenting. Thanks again!

I was afraid of that. Thanks for the quick input!

Hey guys I'm a newbie still and one point of contention for me the ability to monitor fermentation temps. Has anyone ever used a Maverick meat probe thermometer for dual purpose use of smokin meat and monitoring fermentation? At different times obviously. I can handle a sealed install, I'm...

Hi guys - Question concerning the original posted fruit beer. I kept it in the primary for about 7 days, then moved to secondary and added the 4lbs of fruit. Been in the secondary for about 5 days now. After the first 2 days it seemed like it began to referment. Signs of bubbles, the fruit...

Thanks.. This confirms my questions.. It still sounds like a good brew. I may give it a hot Saturday and just simply tweak the hops addition to bring down the IBU's.

Thanks azbrews.. Question though. I've read posts about guys saying with this beers hoppiness it tends to grab your taste buds initially. My question is what if we use 6lbs of amber dry malt extract wouldn't that tone the hop factor down a smidge plus add a little more abv? How would...

I'll check the recipes for a mild. That sounds really good. I would do a wheat but I'm just finishing a batch of Wit. IPA is coming along nicely showing signs of refermentation now. I want to brew a blackberry wheat after my chocolate cherry porter. I got yelled at while eating dinner last...

HAHA!! NO! I"m a huge STEELERS fan stuck in between Ravens and Eagles fans because of my location. I can't wait for this year! Went to see 'em play at M&T Bank (Ravens stadium) back in '08 on the super bowl run. Saw the December game when they won in the last few seconds with that controversial...

Wow! thanks for all the responses. Now I can get a handle on my brew for this weekend. This forum has been really awesome for information, I"m glad I found you guys. Thanks!

allstar, thanks for the help and the pic! kpr121, thanks for the info. I sampled the IPA yesterday before racking to secondary with fruit and it was quite pleasant already. I can see where you thought this may end up being a critrus bomb! haha. I'm going to stay the course and sample as I...

Hello all! Ok, I got my IPA racked to secondary this weekend and after taking inventory it appears that I'll be running low on beer reserves SOON! I need help with a beer recipe for summer drinking. Something we can enjoy with crabs or on the boat. Something that will condition quick if...

Thanks the quick replies guys! The info is exactly what I needed to hear. Thanks for the tip on waiting to dry hop! I didn't even think about that to tell you the truth. With that, I may give a little taste test before adding fruit and also after the refermentation before adding dry hop. Great...

Hello all! Yes another newbie..haha I'm on my third brew and I have a question about fruit additions. First of all, I'm using a Brewers best kit with the "better bottle" carboy option. I'm going to add fruit to my latest brew this weekend as fermentation is about 7 days old and just about...
