Subject: Temperature Control
Hi,
I just bought a dual stage temperature control and will, for the first time,
begin controlling that aspect of the process. I know for the cooling side I
just plug in the chest freezer, but what do you recommend for the heating
side? I was thinking of one of those reptile heating pads, but thought I'd
ask the group.
Thanks for any help and for all of the input over the years!

Subject: sour bottled beer
Hi folks,
I am writing from Brazil, so please forgive my language mistakes.
My problem is related to 2 beer styles which become sour after 3 weeks
of ageing. Those beers (a Red Ale and a Porter) have in common just:
water, the yeast (US-05) and CaraAroma malt. The original recipe for
both claimed for Windsor yeast, but after a few bad results I have
changed to US-05 (and the results did not get any better)
Both are fantastic before bottling, but just a few weeks later they
are undrinkable.
I really dont understand it, because I make Pale Ale and Wheat beer
successfully using the same sanitary cares and primming methods.
Is there anyone to suggest me something to solve it?
Cheers
Alex
