Hi I made a brew fridge some time ago with an st-1000 temperature controller I have brewed several gallons of wine without any problems I have just finished brewing a St Peters ruby ale which I had going for about two and a half weeks. I am not at the conditioning stage and finding the there is...

I plug both fridge and tube heater into the St 1000 temperature controller it works fine without a fan have brewed several batches all turned out currently conditioning St peters ruby ale

Yes I used the skins and the pulp may just have to rack and store it for 6 months

Just bottled my st peters ruby ale and stored it in my brew fridge at the same temperature that I brewed the beer, which was a steady 19 degs c, should I be increasing the temperature at this stage or just leave it at that for around two to three weeks.

I may just do that and if after 6 months it's still not clear I can add kwickclear again thanks

I just fed the cable for the heater through the drain hole at the back of the fridge

I used a 60 with tube heater I purchased from eBay, I've been using my brew fridge for some time now and it works a treat it's definitely the way to go

I'm a bit puzzled, if you leave your brew for say 2 weeks and most of the sediment has dropped to the bottle and it's pretty clear, will there still be enough suspended yeast to assist in carbonation I thought the cloudiness was the suspended yeast, so if it's dropped to the bottom will the...
