Will be brewing this this weekend with the weather finally looking good in Portland, I need a IPA in my empty kegs. Will keep you posted on how it goes, love this thread.

I was going to try and brew a batch for a family member who has celiacs, but I will try and get some separate equipment. Can I brew in my same pot but maybe do a LME or DME and use a separate fermentor and tubing to transfer the wort and beer?

Depending on the amps needed by the fan is what you need to build for. I built some ECG projects using computer fans for school but had to add a transducer for amp multiplier. The 2 amps may be to much for the fan find out what it's max is and try to stay around 70% of it.

Just purchased my first kit today. My dad bought it for me as a graduation and Christmas gift. Looking forward to it and learning as I go.
