Measured gravity, 1.012... All is well in the world.

Doesn't boiling take care of that? Is aeration an issue at mash time?

Will you post updates as you make changes? I'd love to see where this goes. What kind of fermentation temp control do you use? You will need an area for that and the approach can have a part to play in space requirements... Some outdoor seating / lighting would be cool too if you keep with...

My beer temp has been having some larger temp fluctuations than before, and it seems like BrewPi is overcompensating and creating some wild swings... Can anyone shed light on potential reasons? Some background: - my ferm chamber is a Mother of Fermentation Chillers, I used the plans from...

Still no activity in the airlock... I'm RDWHAHB-ing....

My wife bought a 3.5 cu ft freezer for meals and stuff... My mind instantly went to "how do I take this over for brewing" but it wouldn't fit my brew bucket with airlock on it because of the compressor. I'd go bigger if I were you.

See I've always been so uncomfortable doing that but I'm positive my sanitation practices are really good... Not a single infection in over 6 years of brewing... I get that wort in the bucket and feel like I have to immediately pitch or things could go south. If you guys have been doing it...

I'm trying to R and DW (I've HAHB plenty)... Thanks guys I'll take a gravity reading I a week and keep an eye on my BrewPi in the meantime...

Ok I'm hoping someone can help me understand what's wrong with my process... On Saturday I pulled off my first flawless all-grain batch... Measurements were perfect, gravity readings were spot on, everything. It was an Irish red ale, starting gravity of 1.052. About two hours later I pulled...

Thanks I saw that one too... Wondering if anyone here has been successful at it lately, or if Elco integrated an option right into the interface like he mentioned in a 2013 post?

Anyone have luck recalibration temp probes? I have an Irish red ale fermenting, my first with the BrewPi, and the system LCD is reading 67.1F but my ThermoWorks digital thermometer (calibrated) reads 65.5F. It's not a huge difference but I'd like them to be consistent. I found the wiki page...

Right???

Lol "booger hooks" I'm using that...
