    Yeast Temp Range & Heating/Cooling Differentials

    I'm changing my fermentation setup to use dorm fridges, each controlled by an ITC-308 and I have a couple of small questions. This is in my attached garage and I expect temperatures to be below room temperature for most of the year. Also, I plan to go w/ a compressor delay of 5 minutes as this...

    How does a defrost thermostat work?

    Over a year ago, I turned my old side-by-side fridge into a fridge-fermentor with two STC-1000s. After much (probably too much) reading into it, I decided to disable the defrost timer as I was worried about things getting too hot during the defrost cycle because I totally bypassed the factory...

    Spray Arm for Garden Hose Fitting on Laundry Sink?

    I was looking to get a spray arm setup on my laundry room sink for brew day cleanup. The current faucet is a swivel mount on a garden hose fitting. Any recommendations for a spray arm that I could attach and clip to the wall? Anybody else do something similar with their utility sink?

    IBA - Should I bottle tomorrow?

    My 1.071 OG All-Grain IBA/BIPA has sat in the better bottle for 3 weeks now; last week it was at 1.024 and this week its at 1.023. Should I bottle condition tomorrow? I used WLP005 when has an attenuation range of 67%-74%, which means i'm just above the lower-bound. I smell sweet and some...

    Has anybody had troubles w/ online orders from Dwyer-Inst? I'm finally getting around to building my temperature controller (a la , thanks Bobby for helping a plan come together!), and the online store-front isn't seeming to pickup the transaction. I've even called customer service and asked...

    So i'm in the design phase for a planned 38DD MoFC build (as seen @ http://www.wortomatic.com/articles/38DD-Mother-of-a-Fermentation-Chiller) and am looking to mount dual 60W ceramic heat bulbs on each side of the enclosure. The main idea behind the two bulbs is I want to be able to create dual...
