First pour of a Barke Pilsner + Loral SMaSH. Fermented under pressure at 28psi for 4 weeks with 34/70. Two weeks at 52'F and two weeks at 56'F. 1.048 -> 1.009. It's only been in the kegerator for two days and I expect it to clear up more as it spends additional time conditioning.

4,049.5 + 3 gallons old ale (second batch for barrel) = 4,052.5

3967 + 3 gallons old ale = 3,970

$99 sent for the RIMS setup. Thanks!

Ah, right on. Easy enough. I'll send the payment whenever I get the paypal/venmo address. Thanks again!

edit: looking at the plug, that doesn't look like 110v. Is that a 220v plug on it? Oh yeah, i'm not sure why I was thinking it would need two end caps, lol. $99 sounds good to me. Just message me your paypal or venmo info and I'll get that payment off to you! No super rush on getting it...

I'm interested in the RIMS setup. Are those 1.5" TC fittings? Also, it looks like there's one barb fitting for the input/output in the photo, but do you have a second one as part of the setup? Lastly, do you remember what wattage the heating element is? I may be interested in the silicone...

nice! What are you doing for insulation / climate control in the shed? I've been thinking about moving my ferm chamber out into our shed but it's not insulated at all and it can get pretty warm/cold depending on the season.

Found a RIMS system, so this thread isn't needed anymore.

One more followup just to round out my issues. I became obsessively determined to get the Rapt Pill to work with my setup and believe I finally did. To give as many details as I can in case anyone else finds themselves in a similar situation, here's my setup. Base setup Wifi: Nest Wifi (Gen...

My Vienna lager cleared up nicely

Rapt Pill feature request @KegLand -- I'm not sure the storage capacity onboard the pill, but it would be great if a future firmware update would allow for storage of telemetry data that didn't send due to shoddy connectivity and then send it during a subsequent burst. It would really make the...

To update on my previous post from last night, I didn't receive a single reading with the access point on top of the ferm chamber, so I put it inside the ferm chamber this morning (about 3" from the Pill) and have received three updates. I had changed the interval to 15 minutes last night in...

3419 + 4 gallons Wee Heavy = 3423

I just wanted to lend my experience so far trying to get the Rapt Pill working. I have a small "dorm" style refrigerator as my fermentation chamber and I ferment in a corny keg. My wireless router is about 15 feet from the Rapt in the same room. I charged the pill, went through the...

2078.25 + 4 gallons pilsner = 2082.25

I'm curious how Covid affected the numbers. I personally know a few people who stopped brewing during Covid for one reason or another and ended up selling off all of their equipment. I wonder if the number of people who started the hobby outweighed the ones who left. Going solely by the number...
