Anyone ever use a Wi-Fi hydrometer? www.brewperfect.com

Anyone ever have wyeast 1335 finish in 3 days? OG 1.088, FG 1.020...Warlock clone...21lbs of grain. Recipe called for it to finish at 1.023. OG reading with a refractometer...FG reading taken with a hydrometer.

3 layers of Reflectix on a biab vessel. Thermometer stuck between the insulation and the keggle at the bottom. Target temp of 153...hit it 45 min ago.

So, I just found out that my last name in Polish means GOAT. No wonder I like BOCK.....:goat: .....and I just brewed a :goat::goat:DOPPLEBOCK...coincidence - I think not.

So, I brewed a dopplebock and am going to bottle soon. Of course I will add yeast to the bucket but here's the thing...I have a pile -almost a full pint - of the yeast I used for fermentation that I saved from primary (let it settle -washed and sanitized jars - poured off wort and then poured...

Through the years of all grain brewing, I have used and thrown out several thermometers of various styles. The last batch I brewed I could not get three (3) different thermometers to agree and either undershot or overshot my mash temp - significantly. I am tired of trying on my own, to find a...

I brewed my first lager and built up a double 2000 ml starter for pitching. It took off within 6 hours but has now subsided. I used a blowoff tube (better safe than sorry) but there was no activity in the jug of star san - I mean no bubbling at all even though there was plenty of activity in the...

Brewed a Doppelbock that turned out to be a disaster https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=601386 So I am going to brew this again - this time with the CORRECT INGREDIENTS and would like to use the yeast. The fermentation has stopped and so I was going to brew the new batch and rack...

I got a clone recipe book for Christmas and thought I'd try my first lager - a doppelbock. Doubled a 2000ml starter.....everything went perfectly - until I took my first preboil gravity reading - not even close. Recipe said it should be near 7 - it was at 3. Added 1.7# of light DME (all I...

This is waaaaay off the topic of beer, but cat I use star san to sanitize my canning jars and lids? What say ye, homebrewtalk community?

I've looked through the posts and cannot find any information here on anyone using the Auber SWA2441 PID. I've been given a couple of them and wondered if they'll work for a control panel or if they're junk for brewing. Thanks.

I have an opportunity to pick up (2)cylinders 52"tall by 12" dia. Each will hold 25 gallon. They were used as water softeners. If I don't cut them in half and remanufacture them and use them as is, would there be a problem with having too much head space if I only put 5 or 10 gallon in them...

Am brewing a SMaSH with 16# of Belgian pilsner and nugget hops. OG looks like it's going to come in right around 1.080. I want to try the Danstar Abbaye dry yeast but am unsure if I should use 1pack - 2pack - or make a starter. The best info comes from this forum as the product info is...

What effect will it have on the final wort if I split the boil into (2) 2.5 gallon boils indoors instead of (1) 5 gallon outside?

I have volunteered to head the beer tent committee at our annual OKTOBERFEST. As such, I've got some ideas - one of which is to have the festival buy a small 5 or 10 gallon oak barrel to fill with home brewed beer to use in a "tapping of the keg" ceremony. Does anyone out there have any good...

I am looking for a bottle opener(s) that do not bend the cap. Suggestions/examples?

If a beer tastes too sweet before bottling, will bottle conditioning help it or will it remain too sweet?

OK.... All y'all to me, are the experts, so......let's say I'm still an impatient brewer and I pulled a beer out of primary and racked into secondary too early. When I secondaried, I racked on top of a quart of maple syrup and some yeast nutrient and made sure that I sucked out a little of the...

Brewed a maple porter and the recipe calls for a quart of maple syrup in secondary. When I racked I purposely picked up a little of the yeast(WLP007) and racked on top of boiled and cooled syrup w/ a little yeast food. Airlock is bubbling but no krausen. Can I A$$ume that the yeast is chomping...

Anyone have a need for either or both of these heat-sinks? One is a single - the other is a double that could be disassembled to make (2) singles. The single is $75 + shipping The double is $125 + shipping You can barely see them, but the dimensions are on the first pic.
