I use a repurposed wine fridge that uses peltier cooling. If you switch polarity of which these run you can both heat and cool in the same fridge. It can be hooked up easy to do it auto but I’m usually either heating or cooling so I just use a toggle. My wife commandeered it for hard seltzer...

I’d pitch the us-05 on it. It’s seltzer not beer so shouldn’t be a huge problem. Ideally you’d use the same stain but that’s up to your pocket. 05! Ferments clean. With that said I haven’t used that yeast for a seltzer. However I’ve done a three batches now two with omega’s nutrient and dry...

I’ve got one challenger “I think” keg that has the plastic gas tube. Kinda odd but works…

I was tempted to buy one the one with the 50% off but testing this one would be awesome!

Been looking at getting one of these! I hope it’s as good as their other products!

You can trick a digital controller that uses a thermistor for temp sensing by adding a resistor in parallel. I used a 47k ohm resistor and my set temp is 20 higher than my desired. Basically set it at 57-58 and get 37-38 internal temp.

I have a wine cooler I got for free from offerup. It has thermoelectric cooling which doesn’t use a compressor. The cool thing with this type of system is it uses a solid state die that you apply 12v to one direction and it’ll cool if you reverse the polarity it’ll heat. I simply put a switch in...

Why not do it as a single hop and learn what that hop will do by itself before adding others and diluting the experience? Just my .02
