I've only had a keezer for 1 year now cleaned 3 times due to loss like you, stupid picnic taps leaking or getting pinched in my case.:( Luckily it is on rollers and only about 10ft from a floor drain and a hose coming off the water heater. Just a quick rinse and I'm good to go.

wow awesome I'll have to give this a try my last few brews have been either kviek or lagers so even just the temperature correction is interesting.

I assume the mqtt message is the same so I should be able to still send to my BrewPiless?

Definitely set it ahead of time or you could be surprised. Sometimes I need to adjust because there is a big difference between cracking pressure at low flow and high flow aggressive fermentation.

This is from my last batch the orange line is pressure, the dark blue/purple is the beer temp, the red is gravity. The pressure drops with cold crash then continues to drop because the c02 is more soluble at the lower pressure. The blips up in pressure is me adding C02 then it drops as it...

I have a 16 gallon kettle that is basically the same diameter as the spike 15 and only make 5.7g into the fermenter. My false bottom is about 3.25" from the bottom and some full volume mashes are pretty dry because of the amount of space below the false bottom. I'm considering for my next...

Yeah the camlocks barb fittings and one of the ball valves are also from brew hardware, good stuff. I had the pump mounted to the kettle then was looking for ideas on keeping the flow up and velocity across the temp sensor high during mash when I found Bobby's video so the configuration is...

Maybe I'm the last person to find these but if you are like me and are hanging heavy things off your kettle these are awesome. 1/2" true weldless bulkhead from Brew Hardware. I bought one of these to add a return flow port and when I realized what it actually was I bought another for my pump...

Depending on your starting pressure you could see vacuum during cold crash.

The peck marks look like someone ran a hardness test which is a little odd for the aluminum plates. Looks like the rollers might be hardened.

This is one of those instances when if you can remember back to high school chemistry there was a lesson on ideal gas law. 99% of students sat there thinking when will I ever use this....

My language wasn't very clear, typical of engineers. I was whining:) about cleaning the seams and texture on the vacuum sealed magnet bags. I toss the muslin bags too.

I have had long lasting neipas from the fishing line in trick though the top of a bucket fermenter. I actually just drilled two small holes with a circuit board drill 1/32 maybe, to run the line through and taped the holes shut. when I switched to a pressure fermenter I used the magnets in the...

I read this somewhere as a trick for dealing with O2 you pick up or didn't purge. In general it is good to have some ability to mitigate oxygen if for no other reason than the C02 gas we use can contain up to .5% oxygen:(. Based on how long it takes for my tablets to dissolve in room temp water...

I had a few years off between 3 small children and working way to much when I tried brewing again I almost quite because I could only make blonde ales. Then I found a clone recipe of Todd the axe man and realized how far off my old recipes where from my new taste buds. Right now I have 5...
