Just bought a BEAUTIFUL RIMS and have a simple question Should I install it horizontal or vertical or doesn't matter? My concern is the thermoprobe goes in the very end of the tube and will air get trapped in there or not enough flow to accurately read the temp?

Ok I have two problems with my temp controller One is I lost the instructions. DOH does anyone know how to change it to Fahrenheit and the temp probe looks like it is undeveloped LOL will it work in a RIMS tube or should I buy a new one. And if so what?

I scored a stirrer like this but the switch does not change speed so I am sure I need a new pot and do not know where or what to buy :( all I can read on it is 3 amp 125 vac Any help?

I wonder if I could convert this to a BIAB system. If I could replace the steam boiler with a rims tube it might work????

I was wondering what everybody is using for a racking arm on the plastic conicals and how far up from the bottom to drill. I apologize if this has been answered before.

I am sure I am not the first one to think of this but isn't this redundant? Do we need both links at the top? We are wasting valuable screen space. We could just remove one and put a picture of Yooper instead

I made a red wine kit nine months ago. My wife loves the wine but everytime she drinks it she gets severe abdominal pain from gas. And our bedroom smells like low tide. OK not really but you get my drift. Store bought wine doesn't bother her at all.

I like the idea of late additions to keep the color of my beer lighter. BeerSmith shows a significant increase in IBUS when doing late additions. So I have a few questions. Have others actually seen this increase of IBUs in the real world? If it increases the IBUS by 20% can I...

Add your quirky thoughts about HB you find hard to understand like: If beer in a clear bottle goes skunky in just few minutes in sunlight ( I know some brands like it that way ) Why are most beer mugs/glasses clear glass?

Well it was my first time screwing up my yeast. I was making three batches of beer this weekend and mixed up my yeast I used Midwest Headwaters ale yeast instead of Weihenstephan Weizen for my MW Hank's Hefeweizen Kit I any ideas how it will effect my brew?

OK, I harvested my yeast and have 250 mg jars of slurry in my fridge. I want to use it for a 5 gallon batch of 1.043 ale. Can I just get it up to room temp and pitch or do I have to make a mini starter to get it active again?

How can you tell what yeast you will be getting if you upgrade a kit to liquid? Is there a list somewhere?

Blueberries will be in season in a few weeks and I want to do a blueberry beer. I have some Weihenstephan Weizen Yeast Activator harvested so I could do a MidWest Hank's Hefeweizen Kit or should I try it with some other ale? Suggestions anyone?

This is probably just another dumb question but here it goes. Why does everybody drill a hole in the side of their keggle and weld in a nipple? Why not the bottom? If I am using mine for BIAB would the problem be there is too much gunk on the bottom?

I am getting ready to build my mash in a bucket system and need to buy a controller. I see several on Ebay from $50 to $200. I was wondering if anyone has experience with them and are the $50 a good buy or just a POS.
