I have a small fermentation chest freezer. The bottom section is 16.5" x 13 3/8" . After 8 inches from the bottom, the freezer opens up to be much wider than 13 3/8". I understand the Speidel 7.9 is 13.5" wide, though it has a tapered profile. Can someone confirm what the width of the...

Hmm, so I used this calculator Dilution And Boiloff Gravity Calculator - Brewer's Friend And it says to go from 1.037 of 1.2 gallons of wort, to 1.025, to add .58 gallons of water. That's almost a 50% increase yield of the recipie. Seems like way too much. Though I think the math is slightly...

Ugh you were right, did not get anywhere near the FG called by the recipe 1.012 -1.022. Ended at 1.037 / 12.9% abv My understanding is this will be drinkable, but very sweet. I was ideally going for a semi sweet. I'm considering the following, any you think may be worth pursuing? 1. Do...

So I'm attempting to follow this recipie Beginner Traditional. I have FermFed, which I understand from googling is the equivilent of Fermaid K which contains DAP. I checked the recipe calculator here: BatchBuildr - MeadMakr , and it says I need to add Fermaid K , DAP, and go-ferm. Think I...

Yeah, it's fully charged, about 15 feet from the router through two drywalls. Plastic bucket in a chest freezer. What threw me off is it works perfectly during the first 15 minutes. I think when it's in the transmit on X interval mode, not only does it (obviously) transmit less often, but the...

Oh it's nothing in their documentation I was just calling it that. 1) active high battery use mode that is triggered upon plugging into USB C. Sends fairly constant updates to the cloud, and also allows your device to connect directly for calibration and diagnostics. 2) After ~15 min the device...

Yeah the issue is after it exits mode 1 it will never update again. Not even after a day. 15 minutes would be fine :)

Yeah literally I will put in the wort, close it up. It will report gravity fairly constant for 10-15 minutes. And then go radio silent.

Right (as far as I can tell) there are two modes 1) active high battery use mode that is triggered upon plugging into USB C. Sends fairly constant updates to the cloud, and also allows your device to connect directly for calibration and diagnostics. 2) After ~15 min the device deactivates its...

Does anyone have issues with their Pill not sending any data at all? It works perfectly in direct wifi mode. -39dbm, can upload telemetry manually to the cloud works great. Once the device enters the refresh every X (in my case 20 minutes) mode, I never hear from it again. The above issue is...

My understanding is due to patents, nobody can sell anything similar to a tylt in the U.S. I'm look at a retailer in Canada who ships the float hydrometer to the U.S. called Mountain Parameters. Though the sketchy thing is they ask for payment by Zelle, otherwise there is a heavy surcharge...

I have several brews under my belt from my 10 gallon Foundry (with the old malt pipe design), and consistently have hit 65% efficiency with 1 gallon sparge. My last run yesterday jumped up to 78%, and these were the only changes I made: - Grainbill was my highest yet. I typically do around 9-10...

A GFCI can replace the need for a grounded outlet in many jurisdictions. I have never heard the opposite being true. Not sure where you added it, but I suspect you probably would pass inspection since the Anvil is not technically a permanent water source. In theory you could plug it into any...

It seems Anvil has removed the side holes on their 10.5 version, as it says the small batch adaptor is only compatible with order versions. I imagine to improve efficiency. When did this happen? https://www.anvilbrewing.com/small-batch-adapter-ring

Yeah that's the plan! Though my OG is 1.065 and it's a 5 gallon recipie. Think I should pitch multiple?
