I have been looking at using Sonoff to control the lighting and other things in the house using the house Wifi. Whilst looking at the different products they make, i see they make a temperature controlled switch and the temperature probe is water proof - which could go straight in the brew...

I have heard many people say how good a Lager made with all Ashbeck Water is! Recently i have made Bohemium Pils (wyeast 2124) with 10l of Ashbeck to 22l of my tap water. 10l is perfect for my water to bring the Calcium down to 50ppm which i havent adjusted - i just adjust the KH. I have also...

300mm k type ordered many thanks

Beercat - are you able to leave it in the Mash tun for the whole duration?

I use a v2 Brew Devil and i am keen to get a better understanding of my actual Mash temperature - rather than the temperature of the wort as it flows over the temperature sensor in the bottom of the boiler. I use a k type thermocouple with a stainless probe for checking boiling temps etc...

I have a bottle of lactic that i have never used - will try it on the next brew - an all Ashbeck Pils!

Do you think lowering the ph of the sparge water un-necessarily has any effect on efficiency? Why do you use Lactic over AMS - is there a flavour difference?

For my Bohemian Pilsner, when i added 10l of Ashbeck to 22l of my tap water the Calcium luckily measured out at exactly 50ppm. KH was 102ppm so i brought back the 32l to 20ppm with 13ml of AMS(CRS). Yeast was a Wyeast 2124 starter for the first brew with the second brew being racked straight on...

On the hunt. The ones on YouTube have been blocked in the uk for copyright issues. We will find it!!!

Thanks foxbat/divrack. Lagers are a relatively new departure for me and i have a party in a months time and was hoping to be able to serve a great clear lager. I will drop my lagering freezer to 0c. It tastes great so if it doesn't clear i will tell them it is Kellerbier and is meant to be...

I have made two Bohemian Pilsners from Greg Hughes' book. One four weeks ago and one i have just kegged - both conditioning at 3c. Both are hazy - protein haze i guess as they both clear on warming. I used 10l of Ashbeck plus 22l tap water so Calcium was about 50ppm. I guessed that they...

Thanks Beercat. I think i'll leave it and raise at day 10.

Brewing the Bohemian Pilsner from Greg Hughes Book with Wyeast 2124 @ 12c. Its 3 days in with 40%+ attenuation. I now have to go away for a week. It will be day 10 of fermentation before i can raise temp and it may have stopped. Is it then too late to raise temperature, or should i raise and...

I am sure that this has been asked many times. If i have a recipe that calls for Saaz at 4.2% and i have Saaz at 2.4%, is it as simple as using the direct ratio, and using 1.75 * the weight, or are there other factors at play here?

Wr10 1nl thanks.

Ok thats sorted then. 1/2 a protofloc instead of a whole one, remove the outlet filter, as i use a hop spider and prop the boiler up on a piece of angle iron to avoid copyright issues. Roll on next brew day!! Thanks

Just done my 5th brew in my Brew Devil. Each time, i have used protofloc 10-15 mins before end of the boil. I get heavy coagulation during the old break and this in turn clogs the filter on the drain tap as i empty to fermenter. Am i using too much protofloc (1 tablet) or does everyone else...

Sorry I can know see it is a cask breather.

A great link - definitely need to read a second time to get it all to sink in. On Dads-Ale's system I assume the "flying saucer" is an LPG regulator. I guess these are non adjustable and just happen to give the correct pressure!!

Thanks for that. I did a search and came back with nought. i'll try again.
