Hi all,
I’m still have lots of questions and I hate keep opening a new thread every time. It seems needy.
So I’ll add to this one. The original question may no longer be relevant, so hop to the end of the thread.
Question #2. Wyeast 1388.
I've had an absolute nightmare with this Duvel clone. I thought it might be a fun idea. It's not.
After all the fun and games I had yesterday with burnt on crushed malt and trying to get it down to temperature (I did!) I followed the instructions on the "Smack pack". I had a feeling it might not do much,because the yeast didn't put much extra gas in the pack.
Pitched it last night at around 20c (Says 64-80c and it's advised you start low and raise it over several days)
Came home this evening to check on it. Nothing. Nada. Zilch. The wort is flat as a fart.
Any ideas?
Question #1 (now answered)
I have an inkbird. I notice that its operating temperature is up to 120c. I also have a 10L urn.
Is the any reason why I can’t use the inkbird to control the urn so that my sparge water is bang on the right temperature, rather than having to manually monitor the urn with an oven thermometer? Can you put the end of the metal sensor in water?
Also, what’s the difference between a beer faucet from one of the online shops vs the ones on Amazon? Amazon has an amazing range. I intend to mount it in my fridge. What should I be looking for?
Any reason why something like this would be rubbish?
