Alright well i built mine and its not moving enough to displace water so I'm going to make sure there are good connections on the wires and see if that works.

A question regarding this would I need to allow extra room for blow off if I only did lagers in this method?

I was planning on using a corny keg might help specifying.

I would like some advice as I plan on soon starting to ferment in kegs. Could anyone offer me advice or tips to doing it? Or maybe even advice on a setup for this. I would kinda of like to do this with as little as equipment as possible, i mostly decided to do this because of wanting to brew a...

I am in the process of my stir plate build have everything working but need the project enclosure, I think I might buy new magnets as well but what I have rigged up is made of parts from an old computer and the rheostat is from an old mini fridge do you think that is sufficient enough? What's...

Hm the bubbling has ceased but i took the top off of the bucket and it kinda looks like dough on top what should i do?

Yeah I understand I was feeling interested in incorporating coffee cold steeping is the way to go if you want a pretty decent coffee flavor 10 ounces isn't too overpowering I'm pretty happy with it.

That one is from Austin homebrew supply by the way.

I steeped iced coffee and just racked in the secondary and then racked the beer on top of it. Ten ounces seemed to be a pretty good amount if you want a a fairly strong coffee flavor but I also used Starbucks coffee so other coffee you might need a higher volume. If you have any other questions...

And i'm assuming that the digital one is much easier to control versus the analog?

Forgot to post back but I ended up using roughly 10 ounces of coffee in the beer and next time i would probably put just a bit less maybe 6 ounces or so but the beer turned out great. Just next time if i were to do it again i'd prefer to have less of a coffee flavor more of just a hint of the...

The taps don't really get that warm and don't end up with much foam really was kinda worried about nothing but i guess its a valid excuse to worry about heat when you live in florida.

Yeah I think this will be what im doing here within the next few weeks. Once i buy a temperature controller so I can do a lager for my first keg fermenting. Anyone have recommendations on what kind of temperature controller to buy?

Also should I even take a reading if it is still actively fermenting the airlock is still active just not as much as it has been maybe a bubble every minute or so.

The temperature im fermenting at is about 68-69 degrees. I forget the exact OG it was spot on to the recipe. Yeah I think friday im going to open it up and do a gravity reading that will be exactly a week, this is also my first time ever using wyeast.
