Hey gang... pardon me if this is a stupid question, but is the temp sensor probe from a Ranco controller compatible with 1-Wire by chance? (DS18B20) And if it's not, could you replace the probe with one that had a DS18B20 in it so it would still work as before plus now have the ability to be...

Hi gang.... Is there a ballpark guess as to at what batch size, controlling the ambient air temperature is no longer enough for temp controlling a fermentation well? I used to temp control 5 gallon batches in a fridge with a temp controller and that worked great. Now my brother and i are...

I've been reading about the different types of valves.... Butterfly, Ball, Gate, Globe and such, and each has different levels of flow control... I can buy that.... and maybe this is kinda dumb, but for some reason i can't wrap my head around why that is... I was considering converting all of...

Hey there gang.... Now while my temp controlled fridge works great, it does seem to have it's limitations.The biggest being "Two 5 gallon batches and i'm done for a while".. heh.. and a single temp setting. After looking over a bunch of others builds, i'm considering something along the...

Hey gang.... A bit of an odd question here... My wife is in the process of making home made sauerkraut and is about to open ferment a 5 gallon crock full of cabbage in the closet full of brewing equipment to do so. Now while i'm looking forward to trying it, i'm wondering if the open ferment of...

Hi gang.... Just ordered an all grain 10 gallon round cooler setup thinking i was going to get a 12 inch domed false bottom. Instead it came with a 9 inch domed false bottom. I guess my question is will it really make any difference in the beer using the 9 inch vs 12 inch false bottom? Speed...

Hey gang.... Found out the other day that my folks' fridge appears to be stuck on now for what ever reason and is now freezing stuff no matter what. My thought was i could take it off their hands and it might still make a good fermentation cooler. I was thinking if i plugged it into a 2...
