so.. the fruits of my labor.. the biscuit malt in this recipe really comes through … this is a nice refreshing summer ale.. goes good with fresh caught lobsters!

my redneck chiller... an external pump circulates the water in the cooler through a 1/10 hp chiller( my prototype had an internal pump that was counter productive because it gave off too much heat)... the whole set up costs less then $600 to build including the 3 inkbird controllers ( the 4th controller protects the compressor from freeze up)... I use the brew built cool stix in the carboys and the clear fermenter ( which I wrap with foil covered poly insulation).. the grain father fermenter has its own control but still uses the designated pump in the chiller ( cooler).. I can chill down to about 38 degrees with an ambient temp in the shop of 75 right now.. Note: that is a home made lobster and roasted red pepper pizza...

A good run is better than a bad stand!
