I BIAB and love it. I use this $11 pulley. I just hang the bag over the kettle while I heat to boil. It makes draining so easy. I love it. https://www.brewinabag.com/products/ratchet-pulley-1-4-metal-150-lbs

Ten 5 lb. bags of Briess 2-row are $72 with free shipping at Morebeer.

I’ve made cider with S23, Novalager and Diamond yeasts. All were fermented at 55F. All were good. But, I like S04 best for cider. It seems to add a bit of complexity that I like. My ciders are all 100% store bought apple juice. The only variety is the yeast.

I just slip a piece of silicone tubing on the lip of the spout. It barely hangs on, but it works great for foam free bottle fills.

Maybe the noble hops have less fruit character so the fruity esters are more noticeable? That’s interesting. I have only tried Verdant in American English recipes.

I agree. I have used Verdant in lots of American hoppy beers; IPA, APA, Amber, and even a blonde ale. I think it is a great substitute for Chico. I think Verdant gives a nice crisp finish with pleasant, but mild fruity esters.

I have 4 of them. They pour better after being in the fridge overnight to cool down. Mine all pour slightly different. One gives no head at all. One gives a 1/4” of head and the others are in between. They work great in my opinion. Mine are attached directly to the keg and the pressure is...

Is the copy to brew log button available on BeerSmithRecipes.com? I don’t see it. I do something like you are saying. I have manually created a brew log folder and I move brewed recipes there. When I want to rebrew a recipe I go to the log and make a copy.

Have you thought about JB Water Weld? It’s drinking water safe.

Most of the oils from previous hop additions should be in the wort not still in the hop pellets. At least, I would say that is the case for the older additions. More recent additions may not have been as thoroughly flushed. I think that hop oils continue to isomerize below boiling temps. I am...

Nice work.

I like my Z. If I can fix it, I will. I have had it one year. I hope to get at least 2 more years. Hopefully more with replacement parts. The inside of the Z is fairly modular and easy to understand. With this forum and the FB group I think we can help each other through many problems.

Asking for your password probably means you need to prefix the command with sudo.

Is this working? I see notes that you have added support for Zseries but I am not sure if you consider it functional or not? Also, is their a recommendation for HTTPS support. All the other devices use HTTP but Zseries uses HTTPS. I ran the chiefwigms server. It gives an HTTP error. I assumed...

Nice. Are you talking about this GitHub project? hotzenklotz/picobrew-server

I am brewing a test batch with Plan Beer right now. Works great. Thanks!

Awesome! Thanks.

I am glad things are improving for you. I hope it works.

I got the error #6 when I had pump suction/flow issues. I had pump suction problems twice. First time, a mouse chewed on the drain tube grommet and the pump couldn’t pull liquid from the step filter. Second time, I lost the gasket that goes inside the inline filter housing. This stopped the...
