    Equipment For Sale ispindels

    Hi. It depends on if you would like an improved wifi antenna and / or a temperature probe with it. I van do a basic nautilis for £28, then add £2 for the temp probe and £6 for the antenna. Drop me a DM if you're keen... I'm as wondering about doing the pressure sensor addition too. But that...

    Consequences of hot fermentation?!

    Thanks both. I'll have a taste tonight before I add the dry hop.

    Consequences of hot fermentation?!

    I have a NEIPA on the go using Mangrove Jack's M12 kveik yeast. I'd set it to 30C and it was banging away and almost finished when I had a tech fail. The temp ramped to 45C before I caught it and brought it back down. Fermentation has stopped, and I've dropped it to 16C ready to dry hop. The...

    Brewing tomorrow - thoughts on recipe?

    Just what I happen to have... Also got some Safale s-04, so could use that?

    Brewing tomorrow - thoughts on recipe?

    Yes, I've got a plate chiller and currently freezing a load of blocks to prechill the input to that using a spare coil chiller I made.

    Brewing tomorrow - thoughts on recipe?

    I'm very much new to tweaking recipes, but have come up with the attached pretty simple hazy style IPA (I think!!). Any comments or feedback? I've reduced the IBU a little as I don't like too much bitterness, and have scaled back the malt slightly to keep it around the 6% mark. I currently...

    Adnams dual strain yeast

    Do you live anywhere near? I'm down the road in Ipswich, and they happily gave me a bottle of their yeast - I popped up and collected it. Enjoyed some nice fish and chips and a beer in Southwold too!

    RAPT pill issues

    I can manage the temp of my brew to within 0.2C, monitor the fermentation and then cold crash or warm up as needed. I can do this from anywhere in the world, from my phone. I don't have to take samples, or be at home in order to change things or progress the fermentation to the next stage. It...

    ispindel hydrophobic coating ??

    As others have said, trend is king. I find mine pretty accurate, to about 0.004-6 ish. Easily good enough to follow the trend and get a good idea if it's hitting around the FG that I'm aiming for. I always take manual readings for start/end and to determine my efficiency etc. as I brew. Small...

    Recommend a hop pairing?

    Good tip on the yeast.. I've got some 04 so could happily use that.

    Recommend a hop pairing?

    I'm planning on brewing this again in the next week or two. I've done two versions previously - one with citra/mosaic and the other with simcoe/amarillo (dropped the base malt a little on this one to reduce the abv by 1%). Both came out excellent. Looking for a hop pairing to try this time...

    Dump the cold break?

    I normally use half a teaspoon, but just shook some from the bag this time! 😭🙈

    Dump the cold break?

    I'm lucky that I live less than hour from Adnams.... And they were happy to give me some yeast a couple of months ago! I also just emailed and they sent the recipe - for something like 10000 litres! I've scaled that down, and hoping it comes out decent.. Here is it on Brewfather -...

    Dump the cold break?

    Thanks for the reply. Definitely looks like the issue! It's almost done, so I'll drop it and see how things go.

    Dump the cold break?

    Update.... I dumped one collection jar of it, pitched the yeast and now its nearing the end of fermentation 3 days in. But.... it looks like this! This is not hops, or what I would call 'normal' looking trub. I had planned to dump the yeast cake before dry hopping so that I can I keep the...

    Dump the cold break?

    I think that's what it's called anyway!! Photo below... First time brewing with the collection jar, and I seem to have pulled loads of the cold break into the fermentor. I'm waiting for the temp to drop before I pitch my yeast starter, so no issues with losing any of that if I dump the contents...

    Any experiences with supplier 'ispindel.site'?

    Sounds like a scam, or someone set up the site and then gave up! I get them from fogstar - take a look there. They are a genuine UK stockists and I've got nothing but praise for them. You may get one in a vape shop... But there are loads of fakes about so I wouldn't trust them to know what...
