I agree, the temp readout is meaningless, but it hasn't gotten old yet seeing it read 180 during the entire transfer while feeling the hot inlet into the chiller and the cold outlet at the same time into your fermenter! Yes, I'm new to a CFC.
Seabrew, your racking up the brews on that thing already aren't you? If that was a car lease you'd be over your mileage by now! Did you brew a batch and top up to fill your fermenter?
I'm looking forward to brew #4, an IPA, on Sunday with my brother at his house. He was here 2wks ago when I brewed, now I'll travel to his house with the GF (carefully!). Given his comments, it appears he's likely to join the GF family!
Yeah, i brewed a 23L cascade blonde in the fermenter at 1.056 yesterday and just added 3L of water to bring it down to 1.050. I used the dilution tool on brewer's friend. I had hoped for more final volume but i have to dial it in better.
This brew is my planned BMC pleaser so to speak and some for my parents and its the only relative big fermenter i have right now. The first batch is going over really well!
