a lot depends on why you are pressure fermenting, I do it due to my hot climate plus I go strait into bottles or keg if you are not wanting to suppress yeast esters then start low and ramp up just before the end of fermentation. the CO2 will be held in the brew so no need to add gas, the...

this is my magnetic charging device, I considered it essential addition for the use of a rapt pill housing as they are difficult to open and close, wether it is useful or adaptable to a ispindel tube I don't know as I haven't got one to test. the rapt pill does have a magnetic charging unit of...

here is my build for the magnetic reset, I used a drv5032FA which is push pull, a drv5032FC is open drain and more suitable if available but this worked for me with a schottky diode in series with the output to prevent loading the device with reset and wake-up. I mounted the device on a sop...

I have managed to fit an ispindel inside a rapt pill housing, In south Africa the ispindel housing is difficult to get whilst the rapt pill is easy, I purchased 5 cherry Phillips v3.2 boards and reshaped them, just got enough off either side to fit them in the housing without damaging any tracks...

I froze mine then dry hopped, drained them then used them to bitter my next brew only problem was determining the IBU's, turned out a bit too bitter.

I fully agree with this, as a diabetic I find my blood sugar levels are better after a few ales the afternoon before though I'm not sure why this is. on the subject of boiling off the alcohol you have to get the ale to quite near boiling point depending on the pressure and percentage of alcohol...

I have done this a few times when I am following one brew after the other, it works well and conserves precious leaf hops for me, I cannot obtain leaf hops in South Africa where I live so have to get them when relatives visit, that is why I do it. I also finger my trub, why waste precious ale, I...

I use strong neodymium magnets to hold position mainly as I pressure ferment this may help for you.

did an experiment recently, beer yeast against bread yeast with identical brews, result no difference in taste but bread yeast gives a lousy yeast bed.

all my mini kegs are laid dormant, I go pet coke bottle and carbonation cap these days cheap and effective

the pill is around 30mm internal diameter and 115mm long, my trial unit was built around single sided pcb and patch board. I have just received some boards but still need to evaluate them. I still need to see if the balance needs adjusting but suspect it will.

hi I'm interested in which processor you have installed? is it a diy build? I am unable to easily obtain the petling container so cannot compare, I was drawn to the rapt pill container by it's availability here but had also read that some users of the petling container had issues. my one concern...

having already purchased a rapt pill and being very impressed with it, the battery life is excellent even on wifi and it works well under pressure, I decided to try an ispindel build using the rapt pill housing, an esp32 c3 super mini module, patch board and gravitymon firmware, the build had...

have you managed to connect to the rapt application? if so can you see your device? if you have trouble opening the device you may want to fit a wireless charger, never need to open it again, setup once and calibrate. if you need to connect to it again you will be able to when you connect the...

I am in a similar position in south Africa, I first went the kviek route with decent results, I haven't looked back since moving to pressure fermentation. I generally ferment at 16psi and hold it there for the full 14 days, cold crash and keg or bottle(counter flow) it also minimises the amount...

my system is mostly home made I only pump once the grain basket has been lifted, the pump picks up from the center of the whirlpool and deposits manually over the top of the grain, that spinning is mainly to try and keep the water temperature even throughout with the aid of an SSD temperature...

it seems the normal consensus is to crush grains fine to get better efficiency but this is not my experience, in the 70s my father taught me to brew and course crush so the grain is broken and the husk is not ground up, this has always worked for me. I used to get mid 80s MHE with a good sparge...

pressure fermentation suppresses esters from the yeast fermenting so you can ferment at higher temperatures without off flavors from the ferment, I have been pressure fermenting for a couple of years now mainly ales, in south Africa in the summer the temperatures are regularly above 30 so this...
