It's faster and has built in wifi and Bluetooth. No more wifi adapter needed which is awesome. Big upgrade for the hosehead. I build a recirculating BIAB system that uses a hosehead and I love it.

Gueuze?

The CraftBeerPi website says it can control the entire process including loutering and whirlpool. I assumed that meant it had switch controls for a pump, is that not the case? I couldn't get the software running on my Hosehead.

I had the same question a few weeks ago. There's a Strangebrew thread on HBT with a ton of great info. Here's my question and resolution in that thread: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showpost.php?p=7406435&postcount=1461

I was setting up at 7:00pm and was all put away by midnight. Granted, the last 45 minutes to an hour were me waiting for an ice bath chill. I lent my chiller to a friend and had to chill in ice. Won't do that again! I'm assuming a normal brew day from set up to take down will be 4 hours with a...

First brew day on the system went pretty well. I brewed a simple IPA recipe with 7.5 lbs of grain and 2 oz of hops. Target Stats: 2.5 gallons 1.070 OG (measured 1.066) 55 IBUs 11 SRM A few notes: - I think a 24 or 28 quart pot would work better for mash. Headspace was a bit tight with 7.5...

Pale Ale?

I've got an immersion chiller I'll be using. While not ideal, with the volume I'll be working with I think it will work fine until I find another option.

I wasn't planning on leaving it on, and won't during an actual brew day. I was bringing my water up to a boil and temp was only reading a bit over 200 degrees. Before I knew it the lid was about to pop off. I'm my most current test I removed the lid when I got to around 190 degrees. Worked...

Deschutes Red Chair?

Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale?

Lagunitas?

Only one I've tried that I know for sure does this is Beersmith. Others may work too but as long as you input the cost correctly it will tell you the expected batch cost.

I did a 1.5 hour water test to run the entire system, here were my results (understanding wort and water are two separate things): * 30 minutes to get water from 54 degrees to 160. I recirculated the entire time and the pump was a beast! Way more flow than I expected, but its a short distance...

Hi All, I wanted to post a few pictures of a build I’m just wrapping up. Its a 110v 2.5 gallon eBIAB inspired by this thread. I changed it a bit to fit my needs, and I decided to use a Hosehead brew controller instead of building a hardwired panel. This allows ultimate flexibility for...
