I am getting a better understanding now. It bothers me that I can't set my PID to the temp I am aiming for directly. I am going to install an analog probe in my tun and put the probe on the output. Thanks.

So wouldn't it be best to put the temp probe into the mash since that's where the temp is most important? Couldn't you plug one end of the tube and put the npt into the tun?

If you take the temp on the output, you could never get to your temp though, the wort would have to be hotter on the output to raise the temperature in the tun. How is this effective?

I recently built a RIMS system with a RIMS tube from BrewHardware. It's 120V only. The temperature probe is opposite the heat element in the tube. This seems like a pretty dumb question considering I already built the entire system and don't full understand how it works but, which end should be...

I agree with this. After my whirlpool I have a beautiful cone/pile of all my hops in the middle of my kettle. Just make sure your dip tube goes off to the side.

Depending on your setup, $2 on gas/water/electric is probably quite low as well.

It's free hanging in the air. This was also my first time using temp control of any kind.

I don't attach the probe to anything, since I have two vessels, I just set the temp to the cooler end of the spectrum. I am not sure what the best action to take in this situation would normally be. I do have a computer fan running continually within the freezer.

Pretty sure I only took a measurement of the good batch and not the one that didn't turn out as well and it's already carbed so I don't think I can get an accurate reading now unfortunately.

Hello, I made a 10 gallon batch of an IPA and then split it into two fermentors. Two 6.5 gallon fermentors got the same exact yeast and same amount (two packages each of american ale) and then were put into a temp controlled freezer at 65 degrees. They were in primary for the exact same...

It's already tasting a lot better.

Hi guys, I would not consider myself a beginner brewer, but I feel my question is a beginner question (if that even makes sense..). Anyhow, I brewed a clone of Magic Hat #9 about 2 1/2 weeks ago from the Can You Brew It recipe. Everything went well and I kegged late Saturday night and...

Check my sig to see the (approximate) affect a couple weeks in a fridge w/ o2 on them for the variety you have.

Check out the link in my sig to get a general idea how much aa they have left.

I am thinking I am going to add a 60 minute addition. I have to yet decide where I am going to remove some, I might replace my FWH. Thanks

Sorry I did forget my mash temp, I was definitely planning on mashing at 149, but I will consider 148.

Hi guys, I am looking for some criticisms on this Double IPA recipe I came up with. I have a lot of Chinook to use up so I thought I would try a single-hop Chinook. Double IPA OG: 1.092 FG: 1.017 ABV: 10.0 % IBUs: 86.4 IBUs SRM: 9.0 6 Gallon Batch 70% Brewhouse Efficiency 17 lbs Pale...

Thanks for the reassurances guys.

I made a RIS about a month ago that I mashed at 149 and an OG of 1.110. My plan was to finish at 1.020. I am at 1.023 but the last 3 points are happening. I racked to secondary tonight where it is going to sit for 6 months (and eventually I am going to age it on some oak). Can I add some...
