I'm also in Wisconsin, Milwaukee area. Since the Northern Brewer retail store in West Allis (aka Milwaukee) closed last August I had to find a new source, there are not a lot of homebrew stores remaining in the area. I've bee ordering from Wine and Hop shop out of Madison and have been very...

Well this sucks. Been buying my grain and occasionally other brew supplies from the Milwaukee Northern Brewer store for years. They had good prices and nice setup grain room. Must be the summer of change, my gym closed all Wisconsin locations at the end of June. Annoying but still 1st world probs.

Anybody have experience and recommendations for 1/2 gallon plastic growlers? I will be filling them from keg, beer already carbed, most likely no more than 48 hours and kept in a cooler filled with ice.

If you're looking to make your own labels it's as easy as finding a "3 of 9 barcode font" with google.

Just to be clear, these are the controllers only, thermocouples, probes, etc are not included. In addition, these controllers have quite a few features and options so you may need to navigate the menus to get to options. manuals here...

Looks like $ 22 + $8 for 3-day priority mail.

I have ten (10) used Omron E5CN digital temperature controllers for sale on ebay. I'm listing on ebay for $35 each, but for members here I will offer them at $22 each + actual cost of shipping. These are single output controllers, heat OR cool, not both. Work great for home-built...

Awesome. Thanks.

Anybody know if these two are the same product? I've been using the second one for a few years now for this concoction. Purchased some last week and it arrived as the first pic. Not sure if it's the same.

Going on Craig's list soon.

************* Sold 11/24/16, thanks for looking. All bottles are gone. ************* For sale: I have six (6) CW crate plastic "cases" for 12oz bottles for sale, $8ea, includes bottles. Most bottles are brown pop-top, though there may be other colors mixed in and possibly some twist top...

If you pitch plenty of good, healthy yeast the fermentation and most flavors are mostly done by 5-7 days. Assuming you aren't going to let it sit at of 80F or 40F you can take it out of the chamber. As mentioned, warming up to upper 60's or low 70's might help it finish and cleanup. Why not...

Interesting... and awesome, thanks for the explanation. I think I'll skip the 122F rest on tomorrows cream ale.

Why would a 122F protein rest hurt the beer?

I ferment at 51F until it get to about 75-80% (4-5 days), then d-rest 4-5 days, then keg and lager.

I check my beer's gravity twice, when I pitch the yeast, and when I transfer to keg. I used to do an additional check with lagers to see if they were ready for the d-rest. Eventually it got to the point I could count days since pitch and look at the kreusen and amount of activity in the...

I have a fridge I removed the ice shelf and wedged it on the back wall of the fridge. It holds one carboy for fermenting, and 2 kegs for kegerator. I use a temp controller to set the temperature, not the fridge controller.

Interesting, I was feeling a bit disappointed by this summers batch of lagers and light ales. All seemed to be lacking something in the hop flavor, all are tried and true recipes I've done for years. I quickly brushed it off as being due to the "hoptimus rex" brand hops which I've never used...

From what I can tell, ABCD would be hardware dependent but most likely A = 3 B = 0 based on 1st post C depends on your sensor type D = 0 E = 1, assuming output on turns heat on (0% safety turns output off in the event of a sensor failure) F = 1, assuming you want cooling Group 1 SP.2 will be...

That looks like a spec sheet, hopefully you have a manual to explain how to nav the setup menus and lists all options. For your needs it should be simple. Set sensor type Y1 heat Y2 cool Control on-off hysteresis 1%-2% should be good for typical ferment temperatures
