So that original thermo cable in my original images was included with my Inkird PID. I ended up buying some of these thermowells with 1/2in NPT male that screws into female bulkhead, and hole drilled inside of HLT.

Wild, I didn’t know that at all. I brewed so many batch just submerging that guy in my HLT.

My HLT is programmed with an electric PID with this temperature sensor that is wired to the PID to read the temperature of the water. Here is the PID temp. probe looks like. Currently, I am just setting (free dropping) the temp. probe inside the water during heating. But I want to fix (make...

Thanks for chiming in and clearing my misunderstandings up. I learned something new for sure. Cheers!

That’s great you got it figured out!

What is your heat difference and cool difference set to (usually Hd and Cd)? I have my temp control set to 1F on both heat difference and cool difference. Meaning when it recognized 1F temp off, it will power on heat or cool until the target temp is hit. Once the target temp is hit, the unit...

Yeah, I don't know either. 🤨 TIL

My original thread was based on my understanding (or lack thereof) that dry yeast is not recommended to try and re-pitch or viable after it's been fermented, used, and packaged. On the other hand, liquid yeast is much more tolerant and viable to use for multiple batches and the ability to...

This actually worked really well and I ended up making an award-winning beer for a local homebrew festival. So I am certainly pleased with the results.

My plan was to let the BGSA "lager" at the colder temps until it's ready to keg, which is going to be in another 4 weeks. If I did have an open keg I would use it to "age/lager" in the keg. I might just need to wait until a keg opens up so I can keep the BGSA at cold temps and not let it get...

I have 2 fermentation chambers that are both occupied with two different beers. I really would like to brew another batch of beer and use one of the two chambers to temperature control the new batch (something fast fermenting, no cold crash needed). Currently, my fermentation chambers are...

The Android TILT 2 app lets you run multiple tilts, I have 2 running at the same time (they are different colors). I think you can have "up to 6", forgot where I read/heard that from though.

I recently cultivated yeast from 3 cans of a Belgium Style Golden Ale from Currahee Brewery. Here is a link to the beer Frankenstark – Currahee Brewing I started with a 400mL yeast starter, then stepped it up to 2L starter. It was happy and active, lots of activity. I attached some picture...

It's been a while since I have brewed, but wanted to share an Amber Ale I brewed this weekend, clone to Fat Tire Amber Ale. Here is the recipe. I enjoy watching the metrics from my custom TILT integration. Here is a link to my list of beers, just click on the beer to see the details. Here are...
