Has anyone used this with the FermWrap Heater which is used for keeping beer carboys at temp during fermentation? This thing:http://www.amazon.com/H

Yes I have. It works awesome!!!! You have to play with the temp you want it to stay at but it maintains within 1 degree of set temp. The temp rod has a suction cup that attaches it to the carboy. I also put blue painters tape over it to make sure it never lost the touch on the glass for a more accurate reading. The fermwrap heater worked great. I did not stick it to the carboy but used Velcro to connect the wrap to itself and not the carboy. Didn't want to have any issues with cleaning the carboy.

Yes. It worked pretty good for the first use and now sits and throws an error code. No longer works and was past the time frame that I could do anything about it.

I haven't, but I use it to heat my snake racks. I keep my 6 slot rack between 95-100 degrees Fahrenheit

Yes, I'm using it right now in cool room (60-65°F) keeping my brew 71-72°F. The range of the thermostat is limited, but in the range needed for most ale brews.

Never measured the temperature; I just put a keg inside and it cools the beer perfectly. Are you measuring with a keg in or out? It's designed to work with a keg in it, and the keg itself will help retain the cold because it's metal...

If you have a keg fridge with a tap, this will work quite well with bottling. It prevent foaming. I use it to fill growlers but it should work ok with smaller bottles.

Yes I have used this temp gun for that. It's wonderful!!! Found the areas in my home where cold air was coming in so that I could patch it up. So worth buying this

I use it with whatever temp my recipe calls for, or just very warm, but not scalding hot. I think my mom said test it like a baby bottle by dropping some on the wrist. It's great yeast.

Sorry to be so slow in responding. I drank a bottle of beer yesterday afternoon just to test how well the stopper fit. It was nice and tight and I am sure it never come out. If you wish to use the stopper in a beer bottle I am sure it would work well.

I agree w/ Danny. Sorry to get back to you so late. All I did was assemble the parts as this is weldless & I have had no problems w/ my kettle thus far. If you ever plan on doing big beers or more than 5 gallons then this is for you. I haven't done a 10 gallon batch just yet but I hope to some day. I find that this easily accommodates my needs & can last me another 25 years for all types of brewing styles & volumes. The only negative I would say is that if you don't ever plan to go more than 5 gallons then this is simply too big. That or if you planned to do a very high concentrated wort by boiling the wort over 3 hours - if you aren't going to do these things then just get an 8 gallon. I agree w/ Danny.

the link they put up for the econo-lock carboy bungs set of 2 I already bought those, they work great for my 3 gallon carboy. I also already have 2 jugs same type from organic apple juice. same kind of jugs, but the bungs are barely too big too fit. I need smaller ones for my jugs, so might you or anyone reading this, if they are looking for bungs and airlocks for 1 gallon jugs similar to the one shown. might have to find a rubber plug at a hardware store and drill it out yourself. or use a balloon and take a needle to it first and put a tiny hole to let excess pressure out

It All Depends on the size of the burner, I use mine on a propane burner that is on the side of my BBQ grill and it works fine. I've baked beer bread in it a # of times .

Just put bottle in a normal 'zip up' bottle coozie, you know-like a jumpsuit for your beer, and then slip it in the thermos. = double insulation

This should work. http://www.beveragefactory.com/draftbeer/regulators/cages/WGC.shtml

I brew my own stout, it's not guiness, but to answer your question. I like to keep 33 to 36 degrees, of course the stock thermostat is not that accurate. I run 35 psi.

I tried to use this larger auto-siphon with a one gallon carboy and it did not work. I have my one gallon carboy filled to the bottom of the neck to minimize oxidation, and using this siphon caused the carboy to overflow. I ended up just using tubing without a siphon to rack my carboy. I haven't tried to use this siphon with a carboy that is filled less full.

It'll get warm fast, best used with bourbon. Wouldn't suite beer but is great for bourbon and just adding to a glass of diet coke, lasts longer that way too

I did. Worked just fine. No problems. Seemed to heat evenly, and the beer came out great.

The one I bought has a 3/8" hose barb, but it may or may not be the same one; the one I bought was sold by Kegworks, not Fermentap. Search "stainless steel false bottom" and you'll see the other listing.

I don't know if this would work. I don't know that much about making wine but I use this to put my "already made wine" in to keep set at specific temps. If you need the wine at a certain temp to ferment then you could probably use this because it lets you set the temp to whatever you need. Hope that helps.
