    Simple fermentation/kegerator temp. controller based on ESP8266

    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...

    Kegerator vs beer cooler?

    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...

    BeerSmith3 - how accurate is the mash pH estimation?

    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...

    Transferring carbonated beer from keg to a bootle at room temperature

    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 /...

    Low Watt Density heating elements - what density can be assumed safe for heating wort?

    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...

    How to learn how different malts work, their taste and aroma?

    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...

    Floor-malted grain - any impact on actual taste or aroma?

    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? :-)

    Transferring mash via 1/2" faucet?

    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...
