    German IPA

    Thanks that’s why I posted it. I was looking for what I should expect in adding these. I think I’ll ditch the 2-Row and the Vienna and keep the remaining malts as I’d like it to emphasize German ingredients to make a non-German beer.

    Help! DIY Chiller Not Working

    Ok, this maybe it because I took both fans off of the motor, thinking them not necessary. I can reattach and see if that helps. The condenser only stays on for a maximum of two minutes before shutting off for another ten or more. It is also extremely hot, so maybe we pinpointed.

    Help! DIY Chiller Not Working

    I have the Spike Flex with an immersion coil connected to the spike pump in the cooler bath (just water for now, I haven't purchased Glycol yet but have been under the impression it would be a temporary workaround) with the evaporator coil. The wiring is a bit of a mess now, I have plans to...

    Help! DIY Chiller Not Working

    I have a lager (Oktoberfest) fermenting now (my first ever lager), only on about day three and found that the frozen water jug swapping was not efficient or convenient. I found a hand-me-down window AC unit and did as many others have; took the thing apart, jumped the thermostat, and curled the...
