Homebrewers - Whats in the fermenter?

[ktblunden]

I've got a Wit and a Coffee Stout in my fermenters right now. Might try to bottle this weekend. On Monday I should be getting grains to do 3 different SMaSH's, but I'm not sure when I'll have the time to brew those. I got a temp controller wired up to the fridge in the garage, so now I'll have a stable ferm chamber, which is a good thing since the temperature outside is going up over 100 now.

I converted my old chest freezer into a temp controlled unit for lagering and general fermenting. Probably the best thing I've done, outside of my kegerator, to assist in my brewing. Getting stable temps and being able to cold crash has been very helpful.

Yeah, it's a full size fridge and I've been using it to cold crash, but now I'll be able to hold temps anywhere I want them. Been sitting rock solid at 68° all week.
