I have recently got the Brewhardware Hot Rod heat stick which has a gfci plug and I put together a temperature controller using a pid and ssr to turn it on and off to maintain a specific temperature. After I wired up the temp controller, I tested it using a lamp and saw that it was working...

How many of you round your ingredients to use what you have? I am going to be brewing a Scotch Ale recipe I found online. The recipe has 1.3lbs of caramel malt 40L, .8lbs munich malt, .6lbs of caramel malt 120L. My LHBS only allows to buy ingredients by the pound, so I was forced to get...

I brew 10 gallon batches split up between 2 buckets. I am going to make an IPA but wanted to make them a bit different. I was thinking of adding something to one of the buckets and leaving the other the same. When I was designing the recipe I was going back and forth about the ABV. So my...

When I first was going to get into kegging I had a deal on 2 pin lock kegs. I setup my kegerator to hold 2, with the potential for a 3rd. I recently got a deal through craigslist to get 2 more keg. This time it was 1 pin lock and 1 ball lock. I've searched and can not find any information on...

A little while ago when Home Depot was having their copper tubing clearance, I got a 50' - 5/8" OD copper tubing. I finally want to turn this puppy into a immersion chiller. I currently have a 20" (or even less) and it doesn't cool my batches fast enough. I currently have 2 pots. The one I...

I am making a 10 gallon batch of a black ipa. I'm thinking of doing half as the regular dry hoping, but I'm trying to decide what to do with my other half. I can do the same, and just have 2 kegs of the same thing, or I can toss in other things to play with the recipe. I'm thinking either a...

I have started the process of getting into kegging. I got some pin lock kegs and i got a 2 keg basic keg kit from kegconnection. The problem I am having is that the co2 tank that came with it is a paintball canister. I brought it to the only local place that fills beverage co2 and they say...

Hello All, I have a freezer/fridge in my basement and was wondering if there is a way control the temperature of the fridge using a temperature controller but leave the freezer alone, so it can do its thing. I would like to turn the fridge part into a fermentation chamber, but use the...

I have never kegged before but have always been interested. I found a guy selling 2 pin lock kegs on CL for a good deal and contacted him. He sent me a picture of the kegs, but they are different sizes. One is taller and skinnier then the other. I was under the impression that all pin lock...
