Oh good, I'm glad that's all it is. I'll proceed with bottling then. Thanks

I was planning on bottling this traditional mead today but noticed this wispy cloudy white smoke-like substance near the surface. Should I be worried about this? Airlock still has liquid and it's been kept in my ferm chamber with regulated temps. Not sure what this is.

Although, I suppose then I would be supporting ABInBev...:smh: But, saving $200 is hard to pass up for someone on a budget stretching to even make the purchase in the first place.

I'm so tempted to pull the trigger on a GF. Right now NB has a 20% off coupon that makes it $799 + free shipping! :)

Count me in!

Thanks for the response. So, I ran across this wit recipe that sounds almost exactly as you suggest: http://carboyclub.com/recipes/wit3.htm The only difference is he uses Belgian pale, vs your suggestion to use Pilsner, and he doesn't mention the rice hulls. I think I'll use them for sure...

I have over 200 lbs of raw wheat in storage that I would like to brew a wheat beer with. Since it's unmalted and I don't want to go through malting this much wheat, I have a couple questions about grain bill and mashing: I have researched and it looks like I can do a Hefeweizen or Witbier with...

Thanks for all the feedback. I ordered a temp controller. Just wondered if this is ok until it arrives (2 weeks or so, coming from china I think).

Yes, let us know how it turns out.

Yeah, I think this is the route I'll go. I ordered an Inkbird controller last night but it's going to be a couple weeks until it arrives. I was hoping to use this in the meantime. Maybe I should hold off using the freezer until the controller arrives, and until then just keep that space heater...

Received my code and ordered tonight. Thanks, Inkbird!

My basement is around 56ºF and I need a little warmer place for fermentation. I got a free (broken condenser) chest freezer off craigslist today and want to turn it into a fermentation chamber, the added krausen containment factor of the enclosed chamber is a plus for reducing any potential...

I'd love a discount code if it's not too late. Thanks, InkBird!

Will do!

I just got a SS Brewtech pot and I love it! Well, to be clear, I love the looks of it sitting underneath the christmas tree. T-minus 4 days until I can use it...

Thanks for the advice. I have a pretty significant budget for the whole setup, but had decided to allocate ~$200 to this piece - the heat source. Good call on keeping it cheaper and putting money towards other items.

Wow, nice price on those for sure. Thanks for the link.

Oh, gotcha. I wondered if about that. Awesome I'll look into that today. Thanks.

I have a welder and could go that route pretty easily. So you are saying rather than buying the blichmann legs put that money toward building a brew stand? That could work.

Thanks for the ideas guys. Sounds like most people suggest electric. I'll look into what all it will take and check it out.
