I guess it would be the same as stratifying. Pretty much submerge seeds under water and keep in fridge. This water is changed every day to simulate snow melt.
Has anyone tried cold soaking to germinate? I have done this with apple seeds before and had around 80% germinate. I'm wondering if it might work for hops as well.
It's going to take extra time at that temp. I'm assuming you're close to terminal gravity. If so (check) start bumping up the temp slow over a few days until you hit 65.
It depends on how cold your water is, if you're using gravity or a pump, and finally what temp you're trying to achieve.
If your water is too cold for what your aiming for you can slow it down to get your wort warmer. This is seldom the case.
If the wort is coming out too hot you would slow...
Personally I would leave it until day 14 or so and then bottle. Age for 3-4 weeks in bottles then consume. But that's just me. I don't see the benefit of cold conditioning a low abv porter.
I haven't done so myself, but I think it makes a great base recipe to add another flavor component to.
I have been planning to do a batch with coffee sometime in the near future.
Three heads brewing in rochester, Abandon brewing in finger lakes area and of course Genesee.
Rochester doesn't have much for attractions, but you can't go wrong walking around park ave. Bars, restaurants, bakeries and chocolate shops.
Wait, so the ground, data and vcc would be connected to one wire? That wouldn't be problematic?
I get the idea behind the one wire in terms of the data line, but I'm confused how you could mix all three and still have a sensor.
BTW I booted up the controller last night so I could figure out the wiring issue with the sensors and they showed up this time. I'm not sure as to why, but I'll take the win.
About the sensor length, I foolishly bought the 100cm probes. Could I solder it together with some cable from home...
