Yeah I'm sure...The thing operated correctly for months then this began, I emailed inkbird and have heard nothing

Yes the temp alarm is beeping and the light stays on. Before the light had turned off, now the light is on and the chamber is very hot. I live in lake Tahoe and we are still snowing here

Hello has anyone had a problem with the ltc-308 digital temp controller failing? My unit is only about a year old, but it is having a serious problem. I the 308 in my fermentation chamber. I live in a cold climate so i only have a large bulb light connected to the heat side and noting on the...

I really think the HERMS or RIMS will be the way to go. Actually I have done pretty good at maintaining mash temps, once I hit them. THe real problem has been strike water. I use Beersmith, and it is so hard to guess what temp for my strike water. I have pre heated the mash tun with some 180...

A keggle, I am trying to use my brew stand minis a cooler.

We recently moved to SLT from the bay area in California. I am having an incredibly hard time with my mash. I currently use a single tier brew stand and 3 keggles. I have reflectix wrap on the mash tun. I have to brew outside, with some wind protection. I have been considering a RIMS setup to...

I recently built my brew stand and the first few batches have had poor mash temps due to drop when I transferred strike water to MT. I did it that way because everything I read and you tubed showed it that way. But maybe heating it up directly in MT is the answer.

Hello all, I am building my keggles and I am confused on whether I need to add a port at the top for re circulation. I have always used a cooler so temp drop in the mash was never really a problem, but now with the keggles it will be, espevially during winters in Lake Tahoe. What is the best...

Hello all, I am having my single tier brew stand built, and the guy building it had a question that I really hadn't thought of. What distance should the burners be from the bottom of my Kettle? He said he has made them adjustable before, I am good with mine being static, but what distance...

great ideas, I will try everything and repost with next batch. I will be brewing next week,so I should have an idea in 3 weeks! thanks

This is so damn frustrating, I never had this issue before the corney kegs are the x factor. I bought them reconditioned when I started all grain , but I got them at my home brew store and was told everything was replaced and cleaned

Co2 tank is new, gonna dismantle the keys and give them a thorough cleaning. I though water initially, I use tap water, but my buddy uses he same water when we brew and he does not have the same issue.

I was an extract brewer for about a year, and never had this problem. I am on my 6th all grain batch and I continue to get what can only be described as a "vinyl tubing" taste in my beer once its kegged. Things I have done: 1. changed all my lines beer and gas 2. took my faucets apart for deep...

Is grist to water ratio important on the second runnings when batch sparging?i used beersmith to figure out my recipe, and couldn't really understand how much water to add after the initial sparge
