    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    Thanks for the reply but Elco already helped me. My Uno has a weird VID and I had to add it to the known_devices list in autoSerial.py. That made it work perfectly. I was always using the legacy branch. However now I'm struggeling to setup my devices. BrewPi doesn't recognize my teperature...

    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    Hi everyone, I'm having trouble flashing my Arduino Uno. This is probably also why the webpage says, the script is not running. I have BrewPi running on a RaspberryPi and receive the following error when executing updater.py: `Checking current firmware version... Apr 16 2016 16:16:34 Opening...

    German Beer. Holy crap Batman.

    That's probably exactly what it is! Can't agree more! It's really funny because my home brewing efforts are more directed towards the US craft beer styles... It's so hard to get these over here ;) It's one of the oldest human stories... you always want the most what you don't have!

    German Beer. Holy crap Batman.

    I'm from Germany and even though I have to admit that we probably have pretty great pilsner beers, unfortunately our brewery's seem to be stuck on that style. They all claim Germany to be a great beer country, but honestly nobody really knows the greatness of a good IPA or Stout. It's all...

    Exploring "no chill" brewing

    Hi folks, I'm sorry that I have to ask this question, as it is probably somewhere within this 143 pages thread, but I still don't really get your FWH calculations. The amount of late hops, that you move up to FWH are being recalculated to give the same IBUs as they would in the original recipe...

    Spiced Winter Cider

    But then you don't get the carbonation... :(

    Graff (Malty, slightly hopped cider)

    I was thinking about doing a winter spiced version, backsweetened and with some vanilla and cinnamon soaked in rum. I was talking about this here: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f12/spiced-winter-cider-443814/ Considering my planned outcome I was thinking about not using any hops at all. Can I do...

    Spiced Winter Cider

    I might just have to do this as well. Thanks for your input! Would you add any hops to this, considering my planned outcome?

    Spiced Winter Cider

    Thanks for the input. I think I will just go without the honey flavor at all. I find the pasteurization method to kill the yeast to be very scary. A friend of mine did a big mess doing this. Half of his bottles exploded. And for me it would not just be messy and sad for all the lost beer/cider...

    Spiced Winter Cider

    Hmm what would you say about Windsor or S-33? Both are supposed to have a very low degree of attenuation. Though I've never used either one before. I would like to see this being more of an ale than a wine or even a champagne and I'm guessing with a high fermentable wort like apple juice the...

    Spiced Winter Cider

    Hey folks, I was looking for a nice winter cider recipe that is spiced, cold, carbonated and good to drink without extensive aging. Should definitely be on the sweet side. I couldn't really find a good recipe or answers to my questions so I'm just opening a new thread. From what I've read so...

    American Pale Ale Red Chair NWPA clone

    I did add some water, but it really wasn't much. About 10 ounces. I didn't want to fall below the 1.060. It's fermenting nice now and will be what it is. I'll let you guys know. Thanks for the answer though!

    Hop aroma/flavour in the wort

    Nice so I'm looking forward. Thanks for clarifying :D

    Hop aroma/flavour in the wort

    I did a batch with lots of late hop additions saturday. Recipe is here: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f66/red-chair-nwpa-clone-360189/ Pretty much followed it as it is. I was just wondering if I was supposed to be able to smell and taste the hops in the chilled wort? As I tasted it it was sweet...

    American Pale Ale Red Chair NWPA clone

    Just brewed this up yesterday and ended up short on my final batch size. I'm about 3/4 of a gallon short because this didn't fit into my boiling kettle anymore. I just figured I would add water after the boil since the gravity should be higher. But it came out at 1.063. So pretty much where it...

    Beers allways turn out a little sour

    Thanks a lot everybody! I will keep in mind all of the things you mentioned for my next batch. My OG was never that high on my first beers so far. Allways around 1.048 to 1.052 (12° - 13° Plato). So I don't think that I'm underpitching the yeast, but I'll definitely use that calculator next...

    Beers allways turn out a little sour

    Oh sorry, got confused with chlorine and chloride. The water report does not state any chlorine in the water. To describe the flavor any further... I would say its like this green apple flavor of young beer, just that it doesn't go away through conditioning. And it's mainly in the finish (I...

    Beers allways turn out a little sour

    You know, I actually though about this aswell... I know this phenomenon from cooking. I feel like when you cook it never tastes as good as everybody else says. You'll allways find something. But then when I mention the sourness to other people, they do agree. And I've also tried to taste this...

    Beers allways turn out a little sour

    I chose this one to be my next batch: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f66/red-chair-nwpa-clone-360189/ It's definitly hop forward but not too light. Should have a considerable malt character aswell. I'm just trying to really get some taste in there to eliminate the possibility that my beers just...
