I picked up a True GDM-7 a couple years back to use for a fermentation chamber. Looks similar to this one(picture belongs to the thread linked below): Started getting serious about the project a couple weeks back. Plan is to use an Inkbird ITC-1000 to begin with and then convert to a...

Picked up an ITC-1000 off Amazon and it was delivered yesterday. When I took the terminal cover off, this is what I saw: The terminal block on the "Cool" relay is too small to accept the necessary size wire. I sent an email to Inkbird this morning, but no response yet. I'm tempted to...

I picked up some 3 pin panel connectors for my temp probe cables. They're made for a D shaped hole to keep them from turning when you unscrew the female end. I found a punch on McMaster, but at $230 - that's a nonstarter. I'm curious if any one has suggestions on cutting a D shaped hole...

Neat video on the manufacturing process.

The missus and I just started a kitchen remodel. Part of that remodel is swapping out an electric range for a gas unit. I'm almost ashamed to say that it's just now occurred to me that I'm freeing up a 50A circuit! :rockin: This bodes well for some of my shop toys and brewing efforts...

I picked up a small True GDM to set up as a fermentation chamber. I'm planning to use an STC-1000 for temperature control and drop a stainless thermowell into the fermenter. I know that with some thermocouples that it's not permissible to make a connection between the sensor and the controller...

I'm starting a build to move from propane to electric and thinking of using three of the 50 qt Concord stainless steel pots. Batch size will probably be 7.5 gallons(boil volume around 9 gallons) and I'm a little concerned that might be a bit tight in the 50 qt Concord. Since I started brewing...

Bagged a Craigslist find last week of four pin lock kegs, two 20#(out of date) cylinders, two regulators and assorted fittings. For $125 delivered, I figure I didn't do too bad. The lot included about a dozen disconnects with "LANCER" on one side and "PROPERTY OF COCA-COLA USA":rolleyes: on...

I'm trying to avoid a noobie "On no! Is my beer infected?" post. My amber is five weeks old tomorrow. I let it sit three weeks at approx. 65 degF and then put it in the fridge to cold crash. The carboy with airlock is too tall for the fridge, so I sanitized a sheet of aluminum foil with...

Jumped in with both feet today. First try was to be an amber ale, but it came out darker than I expected. Here's the recipe - 3 gal batch; shooting for 2.5 gal in the carboy. The goofy name is a result of SWMBO insisting that I give the dog a haircut before I was allowed to go out and play...

I saw AtlAggie's post this morning and decided it was time to "unlurk" myself. I'm down in the southwest side of ATL in Tyrone. I've been lurking a couple months; reading posts, watching Youtube vid's and reading books - Homebrewing for Dummies and Palmer's How to Brew(Christmas gift from my...
