So I just got done brewing a Pale a couple hours ago and went to check the temps in my ferm chamber. I noticed a huge crack at the top of my carboy. Oh crap, is the first thought. Now it's only been in the carboy for about 4 hours so I went ahead and transferred it to an old trusty plastic...

So I was able to purchase 3 used cornelious kegs. The stems were not worth a damn so I needed to remove them to clean but realized its probably better to just go ahead and buy new ones. Only problem is each keg seems to have a different set of stems. After some research I have found that I will...

Have my unit installed in my chamber (see link here https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/ferm-build-progress-pics-tons-pics-312828/ ) Need some help with adjusting the temp control. My set temp, in Celsius, is 18.0=64 degrees. I'm trying to limit the on/off control of the heater and refer. Seems to...

FINALLY the FERM build is almost complete. Had to put the build off for a while (started 2/28) waiting for the STC-1000 to arrive from over seas. Finally came in this past Saturday so I got back to finalizing the inside yesterday. Here's a spec list of the build. Dimensions: 6.5'x30''x2.5'...

Changing out my PVC valves and fittings on my brew rig due to the high temp wort being a major concern on the plastic fittings. Was thinking of using stainless fittings but the cost for what I need is insane. Next best thing, I think, would be copper...but I'm concerned about sediment build up...

Finally compelted the new brew rig after a month or so of planning and research. I wanted to keep things small and really all inclusive. So I didnt go all out w/ custom made burners but rather used a camping stive I baught from Costco as it works like a charm. Some of the thought process was...

My wife was nice enough to spend some patient time listening to me explain how I wanted my labels to look. She's way more proficient in Photoshop then I am. Plus now the hard work for the template is done and with each new brew all I have to do is change the name and color scheme. Here it is...

I have a pretty general question about using a freezer chest for a fermentation chamber. I've researched a lot of threads on this type of use and it seems like its a pretty good idea if your using it for multiple brews at the same time. My question is this: If I were to purchase something...
