Thanks for the info! I thought the lines ran in the outer walls. Oh well,guess its back to craigslist for me!

I have an upright fridge as a fermentation chamber, unfortunately its too short for my conical with an airlock on it (just barely). The freezer part isn't being used for anything so im thinking of cutting out the partition and making one big chamber in it. Has anyone else done this? are there...

Woo! I'm in!!

Well, in my case, I'm needing the extra space, so I can build a shelf mid level shelf and have some more fermenters going. But the more I think about it, it might just be better to sell the fridge and get an upright freezer for the same purpose. But I'd still rather mod what I got then go...

Ok, search isn't working on my kindle fire, so please forgive me if there's another thread on the subject, but, I was wondering if any if you have tried cutting out the partition between the fridge and freezer on an upright to expand the storage space. As of now I can only hold 2 fermenters...

Jester, just thought you should know I plan on ripping this off. Not even tastefully. Just gonna blatantly steal this. hehehe Thanks and amazing job btw

@Walker What do you mean by control boils? <-stupid question I'm sure!

Thanks for the feedback! I'll give that a shot. I imagine its something I'll brew several times until I get it just the way I want it.

I don't know! I wish I could help! It's a beautiful plant and I wish you luck! SAVE IT

OK, so I did some searching for an American Black IPA/Cascadian Dark/Black IPA/yadda yadda and came across several recipes out there for the style. So I took some notes from them and made my own. I'm new to brewing but I knew with this style i wanted around 60-70 IBU and to lean more toward...

Wow, I added 2.0 LBS of the LME at 60mins, and 5.5 at 15 mins, and it brought the IBU up to 60! What a difference! Thanks!

@ dirtrymartini I agree on the floral hops, I'm gonna do some research for flavor profiles of these hops and play around a bit. This will be an excellent learning experience!

@Nattybrew That would really help me out a lot! I've been learning a lot from these electric build threads, not only about how to build a system, but the entire AG process as well. I can't thank you guys enough for all the great info!

When I get back home in a few days, I'll definitly give that a try. I'm trying to stay away from just reading recipes out of a magazine and getting down to the nitty gritty. It's a steep curve! Thanks for the tip!

Thanks for the recipe!! Definitly going on my brew schedule! But I think its a bit more bitter than what I'm looking for atm. Blackened hops sits around 80 IBU I believe. Still no reply from Rodney :(
