Re: Bypassing fridge thermostat

I,d say yes, But if you have a look around on here and the interwebby there are a few different ways to do it, depending on what sort of outcome you want and what fridge or freezer you got I was reading about just bypassing the fridge thermostat altogether, and going straight to the compresser.

Re: Grain mill - wow!

The beer should also taste better, IE more flavour & malt character
