    From the lab - family tree of White Labs yeast

    Cheers NB. I‘m definitely fine with using what turns out to work best and am not on a quest of the Holy Grail of The One True Chico, rather I‘m at the stage where I‘m just starting to compare same recipe with different yeast strains, and am trying to figure out which one are worth comparing...

    From the lab - family tree of White Labs yeast

    Ok, thx. And have I read the results correctly that BRY-97 is in fact a much more closely related Chico-Relative than US-05? I in my naivity up until now had believed that US-05 was Chico. My understanding now is that there are several closely related Chico-Siblings, one of which is BRY-97. Is...

    So, the two papers contradict each other re. BRY-97 is or is NOT a chico? Sorry, don‘t understand much of the nitty gritty of this…

    iSpindle - DIY Electronic Hydrometer

    I just use ispindel_SG (no parentheses or braces capital letters SG) and it works.

    Are you sure. That's the diagnosis in the BF docs:

    What happened to IPA?

    That's not what I think it is, is it?! 😧

    iSpindle - DIY Electronic Hydrometer

    One thing you should do is use tilt^3 instead of tilt*tilt*tilt because you only have a limited number of characters for the formula. For ubidots, you add one widget that just reports the value from the iSpindel as is (either SG or °Plato, whichever the iSpindel is reporting). For the other...

    iSpindle - DIY Electronic Hydrometer

    Hi. If you're getting only 1.004 in Brewfather, the your iSpindel is calibrated to report SG, while Bf expects °Plato. You just need to add 'SG' to the name of the deviceein the iSpindel config so BF knows thät the device reports SG e.g. 'iSpindel_SG'

    If you keep getting 1.004 in BF then this is because your iSpindel is reporting SG, but Brewfather expects °Plato by default. You have to add 'SG' in the name of the device in the iSpindel config, e.g. 'iSpindel_SG'. Then BF knows the device reports SG.

    Plato vs. specific gravity

    Yep, it should have read: 260/(260 - °P) = SG however this so called „modulus“ of 260 is only correct if SG is measured at 17.5°C as it used to be commonly measured in the mid 20th century (the contemporary source of this equation is the classic brewing textbook by Jean de Clerck „A Textbook...

    Calculating Extract from Specific Gravity

    I've no problem with improving Tinseth...and I notice you didn't say that you 'boldly and brazenly' developed your own IBU calculator, engaging the 'Computer Gods' whose methods are 'dead ends...' 😄🤷🏼‍♂️🤓🍻

    Calculating Extract from Specific Gravity

    Well, if these are the formulae: Linear formula: Quadratic formula: (where Bx_i is the OG in °Bx and Bx_f is the current (fermenting or final) SG in °Bx) then Novotny’s published it himself online (http://www.diversity.beer/2017/01/pocitame-nova-korekce-refraktometru.html) , so no longer...
