Update: 1:30pm Thursday 8th Feb 2024 Fermentation has been rocketing over the last 24 hours. You can see the green line in the RAPT graphs above and below which is tracking the fermentation velocity which peaked at 27 SG point per day at 2am this morning. From that peak the velocity has started...

My bad, I pointed everyone to the internal domain, and not the public one. Fixed now. build - Vinylwasp's BrewBlog (Page 2)

I've updated the link, should be fine now.

It's a problem at my end, I'll work on it tomorrow.

Please let me know how you get on, I can adjust if necessary.

Sorry, security settings are pretty tight, you might need to try more modern web browser.

Hi everyone, I've had a few months of enforced downtime due to the Big C, so took the opportunity to fully document my journey into brewing and in particular the build of my 3 vessel eHERMS system which uses the BrewPi Spark + Brewblox Brewery Controller system. It's way too complex, but has...

Hi everyone I've made the bold decision to blog all my brew days with plans to brewtube soon. wink... Blazing Paddles is a 7.5 ABV West Coast IPA I threw together with some hops and yeast I had laying around from June/July last year before I went under the knife. Because I haven't brewed in...

Another couple of ideas: Doe's your friend stir his mash? Do you both use the same grain:water ratios?

I suspect this may be the right place to look too. I'd imagine that one way to lower the cost of the Brewzilla is to use less expensive and less accurate temperature probes. If you look at an inkbird 308 for example I'm pretty they use an analog LM35 sensor which has an accuracy +/- 1c. If...

My experience is that the generic tube that iSpindels are sold in are not as well sealed as the purpose built tube of the Rapt Pill. As one edge is under the surface of the wort, as I raised pressure to 15psi the lid leaked and the battery discharged like you have experienced. I ended up buying...

You might be on to something there in combination with the quality of the temp sensors used, sampling rate and how the PID input filters have been designed as well.

Loose into my Fermzilla All-rounder via the Hop Bong about 3 days into 2ndary ferm. This one is hitting the 2l mark but you get the idea. The FV is not level in this picture either.

T90 pellets and that vol also includes the yeast.

So your're connecting the transfer line to the beer post on the keg and the spunding valve to the gas post? If you have the pressures right it sounds like there's a blockage somewhere between the input (floating dip tube in all-rounder I assume) and the exit inside the keg. Put the party tap...

No, you can't see it but off camera I have my Co2 bottle connected to the gas port of the All-Rounder. I typically use 10 PSI (I usually pressure ferment at 10-12 final), and then have the spunding valve on the keg set at 5psi to give a 5psi differential. This pushes the beer nicely through the...

From your Q I'm assuming you're doing a pressure transfer? As you're pushing beer from the fermenter into the keg under pressure , you need some way to let the gas/air inside the keg vent as the beer displaces it. This is the job of a spunding valve if you have one attached to the gas port of...

I lost around 3l with a heavily dry hopped (250g) 19l brew so know what you're talking about. I think the most common ways of tackling this is to move some portion of your hop load to Cryo Hops of one sort or another and/or Oils. Different suppliers quote different ratios of T90:Cryo with Yakima...

I was just looking at this the other day as MM prices per 100g are pushing up the price per brew so I've been thinking about buying larger quantities and storing them. Common sense says fresh is best, however that isn't necessarily true as Yakima say their vacuum sealed hops have a 5 year...
