Yep all I did was use a hole saw that attaches to a drill. It did just fine going through the 1 in plywood top and then the sheet metal of the freezer top and finally through the foam and plastic liner. It was the last thing I did before mounting the coffin to the lid. If your hole saw isn't...

Wow Hoppopotomus man that looks great....I love that large wood...it would look great in a log cabin or a rustic house...or better yet it woulr really look great anywhere. How close is the back of the Love controller to the freezer inside? I dont know if you saw my build a few pages back but I...

Hey Jester not sure if you still follow this thead but thanks for the inspiration. Took what I could from your build and put in some pint glass holders and made it out of oak. All panels are Dado'ed in and are free floating. Never done anything like this in my life, just sick of sitting on...

Looking good so far..had to use White labs California V WLP051 due to LHBS not carrying Wyeast. Wow that yeast is a slow starter. OG at about 1.056'ish so far so good. Maybe its just a newbie thing but had a hell of a time getting a consistent OG reading because I sample from the bottom...

First Batch ever. Still learning about how recipes call for target OG and FG and importance (or non-importance) to try to get close to the target . This oatmeal stout is looking for a OG of 1.060 and FG of 1.015 as per the recipe write up. Oatmeal Stout 7lb Dark Malt extract 1...
