i have a thermometer with a metal probe, is it ok to put it directly in the fermenting wort through the blowoff tube? metal and beer, ive heard stories

thank you,, why not

I have all the tools needed to try this lying around, I just dont know if its worth trying cause you usually get only one chance at a healthy fermentation, a bad start and all you've done is lost for me, using a fridge is not an option I wanted to try the ice bath method, but theres no active...

So I need soft water for brewing? What about pH, how can I make sure I'm doing it the right way without knowing my pH?

Yeah I do live in Iran, there are labs that do all kinds of tests but it's not worth it since I'm not a pro and this isn't my job, I make my own beer cause I can't get real beer here, it's not legal, hard to find, most Iranians beers here are made using enzymes and there's no active fermentation...

I have an RO system, I don't know what my water analysis looks like, can't really get one, unless I take it to a lab and pay lots of money

Hi everyone I'm fairy new to this hobby I don't wanna spend in a digital pH meter just yet, there are cheap ones out there but people say they're unreliable, I have read John palmers book, there were some mentions of using pH test papers, is it ok to use them? Is the color of the paper affected...

Thanks for the reply Actually I was more concerned about the off flavors which I realized is not an issue I've been eating food cooked in aluminum pots my whole life

Yeah there's a thin plastic film between the beverage and the aluminum

Greetings Why did it get Brazilian (Portuguese) all of the sudden? 😂 Did you translate the op? Anyway, I will not use any type of low pH or high pH cleaners for this, I'll just wash it with tap water and then I'll sanitize it in the boiling wort

But copper doesn't? I mean I have made stews in copper pots and it tasted like copper, but for some reason everybody is using them so there's no doubt copper one of the best options out there

I have 8 meters of 1cm thick aluminum tube and I thought why invest in a copper chiller when I can build my own chiller, aluminum has high thermal conductivity, my only concern is that it might change the flavor? Give it a metallic taste? The reason I think there might be something wrong about...

I'm sorry for bringing up an old topic but if starsan becomes yeast food, then it probably doesn't affect wild yeast as well, right?

After malting

That's what I would definitely do next time As for these seeds, there are only very tiny molds on some parts, the rest are clean can I only use the clean ones?

I think it's because the temperature and humidity is high in my area and that I don't have enough equipment to control the conditions I'm so disappointed to see some molds here but there are very small and only in some spots, should I throw it all away?

Is it ok if it's not sweet? The tea is a bit bitter and slightly sweet just a tiny bit

Replying

So what is the point? Is it ok if it's not sweet at all?

Tasted it again, it's barely sweet, a bit bitter People say like it tastes sweet, should it taste so sweet? Mine is barely sweet
