Thank you all for the clarification. I am much more confident about my direction moving forward now and surprised about the Kill O Watt meter's results for the larger 13 cf fridge.

I have been slowly collecting the items I need to complete my first keezer build and I am trying to select a temperature controller that will work with my 10.6 cubic ft. GE fridge. I assumed I could just use any plug in thermostat like Johnson Controls, Inkbird, or Ranco, but noticed that the...

8 oz. Centennial 2 oz. Zeus 44 oz. Cascade 21 oz. Chinook. 558.1+75= 633.1 For a total of 75 oz. dry this season.

My favorite beer styles are ipa, porter, and stout. As far as number's go, I'll take #2.

Thanks to everyone who replied. It would appear that most people are against dryhopping if I am planning on entering my robust porter into a competition. Just out of curiousity has anyone else entered a dryhopped robust porter into a competition? If so, what were the judges feedback?

I have plans to enter a Robust Porter into an upcoming competition and I am wondering about whether or not to dryhop my robust porter. The BJCP guidelines state that "Some American versions may be dry-hopped" but I am wondering about dryhopping amounts and what would be appropriate and to...

I havent really watched more than an episode or two of the show, but I like the idea of an imperial or strong ale called Cereal Killer.

I had the pleasure of tasting Green Flash's Hop Odyssey Imperial Red Rye IPA a few times and really enjoy this beer. As it is part of their Hop Odyssey series, the beer is a one off and has already become hard to find. I would like some imput from other brewers about how they might approach...

I always elected to checkout as a guest when ordering from Midwest Supplies and I received fraudulent charges. Which makes me one of the ones potentially comprimised without choosing to store my credit card information under a user account on their website. I have no intention to stop ordering...

Has anyone totaled up the number of people on this thread with fraudulent charges possibly connected in someway to Midwest Supplies transactions? I would love to know the number of people whose cards were comprimised, but dont have the time to go back through all the pages. Perhaps we should...

Yes. When my credit card company called me they told me there were two suspicious charges for $1.00 for Payroll and something Yahoo related before I got hammered with the larger charges that brought the fraudulent charges to about $1000.

Add me to the list as well. All of the fraudulent charges were made on my account between the 2nd and the 5th. I was notified of suspicious activity on my account by my credit card company on Monday and fortunately the larger charge attempts were reversed and or declined. Apparently the...

Your prices may be a bit high for most takers as new glasses are the same price at the brewery and I bet the shipping would be cheaper too. http://store.deschutesbrewery.com/estore/buy.asp?job_num=19351&product_num=123&estore=deschutes&category=Drinkware

I would seriously consider it. I bet it would be a great addition to what looks like a great recipe. Although I am sure sticking with centennial and cascade would taste great too.

Ascorbic acid is synthetic vitamin C. The preservatives you need to wary of are sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate as they can and most likely will inhibit yeast growth and development. It might be a slow ferment and or your yeast might not have all the nutrients it needs for a strong...

That looks good! Will you be dryhopping that? I think 1-1.5 oz. dryhopping would be a nice touch. That's what I usually do with my hoppier ambers or reds. A little Amarillo might be nice for the dryhop.

I've found that the best way to dryhop with a hop bag of any kind is to insert the sanitized bad into the carboy leaving the top part open just above the neck. I generally just hold it in place and pour hops in occasionally using my finger to force them further into the bag. When the bag is...

It will probably be a good beer, but it depends on what you are shooting for. I agree with the other poster who mentioned the chocolate being a bit much. You are probably going to end up with a lot of coffee notes with that amount of chocolate which can be a good thing or bad thing depending...

Yes. I cool to pitching temperature and then drain into a funnel with a mesh screen in it as I fill my carboys. Occasionally if I am making IPA or beers with lots of hops it will clog up a bit and I will just stir it a bit and empty the hop debris using a large spoon to increase the flow rate...

I tend to use a combination of 60L and 120L as well, but I am still fooling with my percentages in the recipe i've been playing with for a while. What does the special roast bring to the party?
