Hi, I'd like to share with you my simple fermentation/kegerator/keezer temp. controller based on the ESP8266. The software and the instructions are here: https://github.com/eltomek/esp8266-fridge and the photos of my assembled unit attached: This is really simple project I made to control my...

I was about to build a free-standing kegerator to keep 2 Pepsi kegs cold, with beer tower on top of that and so on. But I just found out (sic!) the dry and water beer coolers that look pretty neat and started to think that maybe that would be a better option. I like this one for instance...

I actually do use lactic acid. Why isn't it fine?

What do you mean? The closest to what?

I wonder how accurate and reliable the mash pH estimation in this software is assuming we dial in all needed water parameters (my water supplier does provide pretty precise chemistry details). The pH strips that I use are next to useless (for me at least) as I can't clearly tell the difference...

No, not really. I already have 2 fridges in my kitchenette - the regular one, for my family and another one, a built-in one as a fermentation chamber. Unfortunately, the only option was a built-in one but all fridges of this type that are available where I live have "ventilation duct" at the...

Hi, Will counter-pressure bottle filler allow me to transfer carbonated beer from keg to a bootle at room temperature? Due to my apartment space limitation I can't afford having Cornelius kegs and cool them down but I have a storage room in a public basement where I can keep my kegs at ~63*F /...

I am in the process of designing my eBIAB kettle based on 50L (13 gallon) stainless steel 40x40cm (15x15") pot and am looking for a good heating element (of approx. 3000). I have read about many element advertised as Low Watt Density but for some of them they were claimed to scorch the wort...

Yesterday I did 4 separate samples of different grains put to hot water just to see if it would give a good way to taste/smell them and it indeed does make some sense. I compared Crystal 30, Caraaroma, Carabelge and Abbey malts, prepared a glass of "mash" for each of them and, yeah, a good...

Hi, I have brewed over 30 all-grain batches so far, all of which were either based on ready recipes that I copied or ready to mash brewsets of malts and hops. Although I have gained hands on experience how to brew, I still lack a sense of how particular malts taste and smell so that to be able...

Hi, Can you confirm that the taste of the floor-malted beer differs from one based on modern malt? The article https://beerandbrewing.com/dictionary/yq2r7ePj7z/ says: Is that really the case or rather kinda homebrewing voodoo? :-)

I'd like to transfer (gravitationally, with no filtering) the mash from the 50 L mash tun down to the lauter tun (the 33 L plastic fermenter with a false bottom) and I wonder if the 1/2" faucet and 1/2" silicon hose will make it or do I need a larger (1"?) faucet. I assume I'd be stirring/mixing...

Hi, I'm an occasional homebrewer from Poland with 20+ batches (successfully) and wanted to say Hello to everyone!
