    Fermentation mini-fridge list (brand and model)?

    No No problem. Sorry I took so long to get back to you. This is an ale pail and a fermonster. Both the same diameter.

    Fermentation mini-fridge list (brand and model)?

    Ya I'm pretty happy I went with the freezer. I'm super happy with the amount of space in mine. Lots of stores trying to get rid of Christmas stock now too.

    Fermentation mini-fridge list (brand and model)?

    I just got my first fermentation chamber set up today. I found a 7.2ft3 chest freezer that fits two 6.5gal fermenting buckets side by side. No customization needed. The footprint is comparable to most of the 5.5ft3 freezers they had as well. It's a Frigidaire FFFC07M1TW...

    New Brew Pot Issue

    Oh for sure... More so wondering what to do with the cooled wort already in it hahaha. Oh well, about 15-20 batches in and this will be my first pour out.

    New Brew Pot Issue

    Ya this looked pretty nasty. There was a grey film on top of my hot break. And dark gunk on the sides of the pot. The wort is pretty discoloured. Just wondering if it's worth fermenting...

    New Brew Pot Issue

    I recently purchased a nice 9 gal 2 weld brew pot. Today was my first day brewing with it.... Apparently I didn't wash it out well enough before hand and now there is a grey filmy oil coming of in to my boiling wort... I've pretty much accepted that this batch is getting tossed but I thought...

    Fermenting bucket popped open!?

    Thanks for the responses guys! She did a great job getting things back together. I opted for a blowoff tube and things settled down. I really don't think it was too hot as I pitched at about 65F and had the bucket in a pot of cold water with a bit of ice.

    Fermenting bucket popped open!?

    Hey there, I'm on my Boyfriends account here, I just heard a loud noise and found that his fermenting bucket had popped open, theres beer all around the top and in the airlock also. It is an IPA, brewed yesterday and started fermenting some time overnight. He's at work and I'm not sure if it's...

    checking temp before pitching

    Digital deep fry thermometer. 15 bucks. Totally water proof and accurate. I'd say they're pretty much a must buy when starting out. I stopped using my dial thermometer after my first batch.

    Summit Hops

    hmm. Well I hope I get some decent hops because I really liked the tangerine descriptions. I wonder if it's easy to tell if they are good before I brew with them...

    Summit Hops

    Well that's good to hear. What kind of flavours do you get? Do you only us them to bitter?

    Summit Hops

    I ordered about a half pound of hops today. I was looking for 1 bittering, 1 flavouring and 1 aroma variety. I was leaning more towards the grapefruit/citrus flavour in my selection for an IPA. Upon reading the descriptions on the home brew site I went with Summit for my bittering. After I...
