Has anyone figured out how to delete the remembered mash profiles on the device? I know how to do it in the web portal, but, this does not clear out the remembered profiles on the device. I have around 20 or so and would like to clear it out without wiping if possible.

I may just have to try Silafine in that case. I wonder if you could just dose a keg with it and leave it in the keg for the duration of serving?

The beer buddy is 150 micron. The washable filter is 1 micron so pretty significant difference in filtering

I currently use the floating dip tube and filter in the fermzilla and that definitely does help keep the big crud out. I'm more concerned with the other crud that gelatin drops out and such. After seeing these comments though I'm seriously considering calling the filter idea a wash

I am able to crash chill and would be willing to put in the extra effort in filtering with the above setup if it would significantly speed clarification up with problem yeasts such as 1007, 2565, and heck even lagers. The filter I referenced was a 1 micron washable filter. Have you had much...

I got lucky and had a brewery open about 6 doors down from the house. They got the ward labs report and our water is pretty much bare as is so it's perfect for light brews and lagers. The most TDS I've ever pulled unfiltered is in the high 30's which is insane. I moved to only using tap water...

I'll chime in here. I'm currently using Omega German Lager 1 DKO. After getting a tad familiar with WLP830 and W34/70 I have to say this is the best variant of the strain. It's just clean throughout the full fermentation and I find it a good bit crisper in my home brewery than the other...

I've never used the white labs variant, but, I've used Omega Bayern which is supposedly the same strain. That's a good strain! I do want to get my hands on one of the WLP860 dry yeast packs and prop it up in a starter to see how it stacks up

Yep that's the bioengineered version and the best version of 34/70 yet imo. Omega did a really good job with that strain! I feel your yeast shipping pains. Living in FL really limits the time of year you can get yeast shipped down to a few months.

This is the only version I've ever played around with. So far I absolutely love it!

I'd like to chime in and recommend Omega German Lager 1 DKO. I've been using that strain and have had really good results. 34/70 is hit or miss and WLP830 is decent warm fermented. That DKO strain, fermented low, is nice! I always get a weird twang when fermenting 34/70 and WLP830 low regardless...

I'm going to bite the bullet on this early/mid June. I've seen this That is what really sold me on the filter. I current dose with gelatin and will say it's not an overnight success like quite a few articles would have you believe. It definitely helps though! I've been really into lager...

I haven't used a Gen 3 so I can't really comment too much there. I will say there was a learning curve moving to the Gen 4 from a 3 tier system. One of the issues I ran into right out of the gate was insanely high efficiency. The first 2 brews were right over 90% and were like drinking rocket...

It's basically a big soda bottle. I love it and the pressure fermenting capability. The fact I can get lagers fermented, cold crashed, packaged, and ready to drink in around 14 days is huge! I followed the kegland pressure fermenting article and start around 54F for 24 hours and bump up 4F each...

This is my hell brew lol Going to rebrew with a very healthy pitch of wlp838 next time and see how it comes out. This batch was close but it still needs to be done right :)
