This is my brewery as created last year. I started to add a HERMS to keep my mash water up to temp and generally improve my brewery. After much planning I decided on a 2000W RIMS system and keep my Propane BK. My mash tun was going to stay a 10 gl cooler but decided to sell it and convert a 15.5...

I am putting together a HLT it is an insulated Rubbermaid 5 gal. I am going to use a single pole 20 amp circuit, 1500 amp electric water heating element to just keep temps up, no steps. I am looking at a controller PID something like MYPIN or a more expensive Auber Instruments PID, but there are...

I hooked up an ST1000 this summer to a 14 cf stand up fridge, works great for cooling, and the heating outlet works fine, I was wondering what to use for heat. A light bulb? An aquarium heater? What is it yall use

I had had perfect results from my stc-1000 using it to control an upright freezer as a fermentation chamber. Today I had other equipment plugged into the duplex recept, and my stc-1000 went off. I unplugged it and re-plugged it now when reaching the upper set temp (cool) it only blinks and the...

I was wondering mainly about ph. Do those test strips work? And then what additive do you use to correct it. I have been using Campden Tablets to diminish the chlorine and not even knowing what my ph is. I did just get a charcoal Culligan filter for all my brewing water. So I shouldn't need the...

Hi I am just starting to get into all grain brewing, I love it! Reading and looking at videos I see many ways to mash. I ended up building mine from 2-Igloo 5 gal. water coolers and my boil pot. Before I really perfect my technique I would like to see which method is used most. Probably...

Just brewed an IPA from a recipe off CHB from an interview in Brew Your Own magazine with Lagunitas brewers. I only had .2 pound of 60L so I added 1.5 oz of special B along with it. only had .25 Horizon so used that and .8 oz cascade at the 60 min. Batch Data: Wort Volume: 7.4 Gallons...

I am brewing a Saison which calls for 5 lbs of Vienna Malt. The supplier doubled my order so what else can I brew with it?

With the help of posts on homebrewtalk, I can now brew all summer and store my beer safely.. It works great, 14 cf freezer with stc-1000 controller, using only cooling right now but wired for heating also. Pics

I don't know whether to be concerned or happy my beer is fermenting away. This is a Porter that is bubbling away after almost one month. I am concerned because any other of the 5 ale brews under my belt have finished or slowed down in less than a week. Instructions from NB say 2 weeks in...

I am going to wire my stc-1000 next week. I understand all of the wiring but I see very little on how to install the sensor. Do I drill a hole in the freezer wall? BTW I have a GE 14 cf frost-less freezer I plan on converting to a fermentation chamber/beer storage area.

I brewed an all grain lagunitas IPA clone almost 6 weeks ago. It was my 5th brew, my second all grain and the first time I used hop bags. I have been real happy with all of my attempts so far but his one didnt have near the hoppy taste it should. It may be a bit young too but does anyone find...

Hi all, I am new to this forum today my first post so I hope this is the place to ask. I have brewed 4 beers this year and put together three more ingredient kits I plan to brew in the coming weeks. I had extra grains and after taking inventory I decided to brew a Porter with it. I usually...
