last brew , I lost connection and it continued brewing. it also gave me the option to reconnect to WiFi. Before when I lost connection, the whole brew stopped.

Yep adding directly to keg is best. I put crushed up Whirlfloc and yeast nutrient in the cages and it was still there in the end.

I usually throw the pillar in with 15 minutes left to sterilize it.

I moved from CT a couple of years ago, and miss going to Maltose not too far from where you’re at.

Yeah makes sense. What instructions did they give you?

I’m guessing this is it. To me, it seems like it’s coming from inside the machine. Hose not installed correctly makes sense

Already did that, and there’s nothing blocking. Whatever is in there I clean out before I brew. Keg is not empty. I just feel like by looking at the sight glass in the sample port I’m getting a good amount of foam. If I pause brew for 10 secs and restart, once the pumps come on, wort will be...

In the keg, during the mash.

What do use to cut the dip tube?

I used the zymatic profile in beersmith and the numbers aren’t close. I’m doing a Pliny the younger clone which is a triple IPA, so I want to plug in a recipe. Using beersmith it says I can easily hit the targeted gravity of 1.088. On the betacrafter I can only get to 1.083 this is after...

I was reading on FB where guys were using .025 on the mill and getting better efficiency with no problems

How do you guys determine what the predicted OG will be on beta crafter ? Are you using the actual OG or max? On beersmith using the zymatic profile, I get numbers way higher on predicted OG than the beta crafter. The max OG on the beta crafter is closer to what my OG is supposed to be on my...

I totally agree. Once it gets over 3k, it’s a little too much.

I just looked at the z2, and it’s now selling for $5,000. Wow. I’m glad I waited it out.
