    Run away fermenter cooked my beer

    I was fiddling with my fermentation chamber while fermenting my Belgian Dark Strong Ale, and I accidentally left the chamber temp probe outside the chamber. The controller dutifully started heating and didn’t stop until I checked it the next day. The beer was at 104F. I immediately noticed the...

    Graphing more than one Tilt in TiltPi

    Is it possible to graph more than one Tilt on the same graph in TiltPi? I am using the TiltPi site and the included Google Sheets, but it only seems to track and chart one Tilt at a time. The UI screen displays multiple, but I can only seem to log/graph one at a time.

    Surface Area vs Headspace When Force Cabonating

    I did a search on this subject and read Kilobyte’s post (https://www.homebrewtalk.com/forum/threads/does-the-volume-of-beer-in-my-keg-affect-the-pressure-needed-to-carbonate.475712/#post-6146347) on a similar subject. I have a bourbon barrel porter in my corny’s and it is taking forever to...

    Weight or PSI when pressing cheese

    My apologies for bothering you cheese pros with a newb question, but I can't seem to find good information on the web concerning the amount of weight to add to my press. Recipes state something like 8 pounds form1 hour. Does this really mean 8 PSI on the cheese? So for a 6" diameter mold...

    Yeast Starter Floculation

    Here's something I've never seen before--the yeast in my starter has started to flock together. Usually this is a smooth solution where you cannot see the yeast. This is 1 vial of WLP-002 in 3 liters of wort. We are doing up 10 gallons of Deschutes Black Butts Porter on Sunday. Target OG 1.058...

    Magazine Recipe Scaling in BeerSmith

    I am wondering what you smart people do about snagging recipes from a magazine and scaling to your system in BeerSmith. I have a 10 gallon HERMS with keggles for all three kettles. I have an equipment profile created in BeerSmith which works well and gives me accurate results. When I spot a...

    Racking to a keg

    Many of you have probably already done this so I thought I would get some input. Usually when we rack into a keg we do so through the open lid. We fill the keg with starsan then use CO2 to empty the keg. We then open the lid, insert the hose and rack into it--usually covering the opening with...

    Snap-in dip tubes available?

    Wondering if anyone know of a source for snap-in dip tube fittings similar to what blichmann uses in their pots? It might make getting my hop screen in and out easier.

    The Magical 1.2:1 Ratio for Brew Pots

    Question about the "magical" height to diameter ratio for our brew kettles. A ratio of 1.2 to 1 is boasted by several retailers as the best ratio for our brew kettles. Indeed, if one checks the specifications for most brew settles available the ratio is in fact 1.2 to 1. This includes...

    Blow Off Tube for Northern Brewer's Bubbler

    I have the 6 gallon Bubbler carboys from Northern Brewer. As discussed previously, the standard 1" blow off tube does not fit in the neck of these babies. I did some research on solutions, and Northern Brewer sells a blow off kit for these carboys which consists of a drilled stopper and a...

    Aerate in Boil Kettle rather than Carboy?

    I have been aerating my cooled wort in the carboy for some time now, but it is messy with the foaming, etc. I am considering chilling my wort in the boil kettle using my immersion chiller then aerating with my aquarium pump and stone. This way there is more room for the foam to develop. I...
