Update that’s way overdue: 40F was my ambient room temp in the basement it turned out. I actually suspect the thermostat is toast which is cool because that’s why the freezer was free.
How did you connect the temperature probe? Can you simply connect the freezer's temp probe up to the STC1000, or will I have to chance drilling through the freezer body and possibly hitting a freon line? I am currently running without a collar (pin lock kegs....) and tried to use the coarse...
+1 on smaller grain bill. Less attenuative yeast just leaves sugar there so if it makes a difference it gets taken up by being sluggish with less intoxication. More intoxication and less sluggish is probably funner than the other way around, so either smaller grain bill or let the game devolve.
Got my GE FCM5DRBWH for free on Craigslist and just screwed it in until it got stiffer to turn. Holding at 40F in a quart of water so I call it a success. For this model I found the screw on the side of the thermostat just adjacent to the knob post. Easy access to the thermostat by unscrewing...
So I think the OP is asking how to manage carbing the third keg since there is no capacity to refrigerate it. I suggest that you look up the pressure required to carb it to your specified volumes of CO2 at the basement temperature of 63. Dial down to serving pressure when one of the other kegs...
Thanks for sharing! I’d like to keep learning more about low abv. I just found out about Hairless Dog, local here in MPLS, and is claiming to be the first NA craft brewery. Looking to try it soon.
I’d be happy to respond again if you update the survey. I know in my masters work it took a couple of tries to get the questions right, and you can probably get a lot of feedback from this community that can help you tighten it up, evidenced by this thread. Keep it up. It’d be cool to see your...
For me it’s about process, socializing during the brew, talking about beer and brewing, diy equipment, and drinking it. Not greatly fond of cleaning, but take it as it comes. Not too interested in automation as it is less hands on. Similarly I like working on my bike, my Pathfinder, and my...
Carpentry paid the bills till I went to grad school. I still do as much as I can, sometimes for pay[emoji41]. Really I just like putting things together (stairways, cabinets, mash tuns, etc) to balance out the therapy.
You have a point about consistency. I try to do what I can to vote with my dollars, but still buy stuff at Amazon. I bike to work but that means clients often drive to me. I don’t shop at WalMart but I do at Target, and there’s probably not a big difference. Ultimately it means I am a little...
