Yeastylad, I am having the same problem with the app crashing just as you explained about editing steps, but I have not had it crash during the brew. I have a Nook I loaded Android on since it wouldn't run the Brew Boss app on it's native OS. I figured the crashing had to do with my setup...

@mcgimpkins, my first attempt was actually the worst (I had the order wrong). I wasn't careful with sanitation or process in general since I knew the day was going to be about learning the system. I should have tried a little harder. It was contaminated and had to pitch it. The 2nd time was...

I completed my 4th brew on by new BB system last night (15 gal, bag with false bottom). First 3 produced results that went bad, horrible, drinkable. Hoping for better results this time. I was able to learn how to set up my Beersmith profiles which helped me hit my targets this time. My...

Thanks guys! I also finally found the interactive diagram on spadepot.com that confirmed it. Can't wait to get this project finished and try out the new Brew-Boss.

Looking for some help on how to connect my new Brew-Boss system to a spa panel. Most of the research I find addresses a 3-wire power supply from the drier to the spa panel and 4-wire to a control panel. I have a 4-wire drier plug and the Brew-Boss system is 3-wire to the control unit. Does...

in, thanks!!

Very Cool, I'm in.

Sub'd. I've been wanting to do this and spending lots of time on HBT getting ideas and on CL looking for the right fridge. Keep the great pics coming.

count me in, please!

please count me in

Yeah! I'm in

In, thanks!

I'd like to take the site for a test drive. Thanks!

I thought the same thing to about a temperature rise, but I checked it with the temp controller and it hadn't changed from when I pulled it out of the fridge. I wasn't careful not to disturb it when moving it to the kitchen since I wasn't racking it. I wasn't crazy with it, but maybe moving it...

Ahh, makes sense! My last few brews were with a bucket that didn't seal well and got no airlock activity. Went to the carboys this time and got more than I expected. Off-gassing isn't a term I had come across before. That's something I would have would have said my dog does in his sleep...

I fermented in the primary for 2 weeks with activity from the blow off tube most of that time. I checked it after a 2 or 3 days of no activity and I had hit my FG target. I racked to the secondary 3 days ago. Pulled it out of the fermentation fridge last night and did not notice any airlock...

My guess as to why I was so high on my OG was due to my boil volume. The recipes from the book call for a 7 gal boil volume. That only leaves me with 1/2 gal head space in my kettle, so I went with 3.5. The book calls for putting 5.5 gal into the fermenter, which I added enough to get to that...

Unionrdr, thanks for the tips. I'm gonna give the dry hop a try. The wort sample I took for the gravity reading has more of a sweet smell than a hop smell. It tasted okay. After a week of dry hop, can I cold crash it to clear it up?

Thanks. If it turns out okay, I'll be surprised and chalk it up as a learning experience. I see a lot of posts about dry hopping, but not sure what it is or what it does for the beer. How do I do that? I have some hops left from my initial purchase and was wondering what to do with them.

Weekend before last I decided to move up from off the shelf kit brewing to an extract recipe from the Brewing Classic Styles book. I bought enough for 2 batches - an American Pale Ale and an American Amber. I chose to start with the Amber. I steeped my grains and was ready for the extract. I...
