    XBMT - Mash temp

    http://brulosophy.com/2015/10/12/the-mash-high-vs-low-temperature-exbeeriment-results/ Have you guys seen this yet? Incredibly interesting. I've long suspected similar things and that yeast is the main importance for FG. I've mashed similar grain bills with ~6+ F differences (by mistake...

    (Hopefully) Easy Brewing

    So I recently sold my 3v HERMS setup. Might be moving soon, plus I got sick of cleaning it. Decided to build a super basic BIAB rig but that quickly snowballed. The goal for this new iteration (gotta be my 5th by now... hi my name is iijakii and I'm a HB rigaholic) is purely to have the easiest...

    A/C Wiring Help

    Trying to turn this into a glycol chiller. Trying to bypass the thermostat and what not so when my STC1000 turns the unit on both the fan and compressor kick in at coldest setting. I thought I knew what I was doing, but the compressor just cycles on for 5-10 sec, off for 30 or so. Any...

    Insulation musings

    I used to BIAB a long time ago. Had a few towels I'd wrap it up with, always had big temp loss. Going back to BIAB soon, and I do not want to recirculate at all. My initial thought is to make a 3-sided box out of various foamboard/reflectix insulation to just set down over my kettle. I might...

    Oxidation Test

    So, This isn't some super serious clinical test, but on July 23rd I bottled an IPA. One of the beers I intentionally oxidized as it wasn't a full bottle and the bucket got some nice sucking noises as it was going in so I figure what the hell. Shook the crap out of it, took the cap off and let...

    Perlick 650SS

    Has anyone done some good experimentation on these and what kind of tubings lengths it can make up for? I saw a post awhile back with a guy using a 650SS and the flow turned half way, and getting the same perfect amount of foam with 3ft as he does with a standard faucet and 12ft. I've also seen...

    Black gunk on element

    So I just brewed the first batch on my new 120v system (uses 2x 1500w elements). The elements had a thin black layer caked on. Some scrubbed off, rest flaked off later once dry. I didnt smell any scorching at all, but I didn't taste it either. Searching pulled up a couple threads on many...

    Calibrated Thermometer

    Bit of a shot, but does anyone have a fancy Fluke or thermopen etc they wouldn't mind coming over and calibrating my RTD offsets? Trying to avoid buying a certified thermometer. I'd take them out for a beer as a thank you... I'm in Tualatin right off I5.

    Basic stuffs, chiller etc

    Sold all of my stuff before a move awhile ago, got my new rig almost up and running.. time to rebuy all of this crap. Looking for a capper, refractometer, plastic carboys, bottling bucket, chiller (unsure yet on if I want IC or spring for a CFC), freezer and temp controller, stir plate, etc...

    LED and 3-way switch

    So I was wanting an LED to come on when either NO is open on this switch. Just realized this might not work as I'm going to wire it up. That would probably open both relays, right? If I wired the LED up on the element receptacles instead of the relay coils I think it might work. There'd be...

    Quick HERMS planning question

    Wanting to see if this is the most logical way, or if anyone has suggestions I haven't thought of. I'm doing a 2x 120v eHERMS build. Originally wasn't wanting to go HERMS due to budget, but dat bling. So I've made some design changes I feel won't be adverse and will let me keep it on the budget...
