    That looks a lot better! Thanks! Now those additions per gallon, is that for total mash including sparge? Or total boil amount. I have 3.75 gallon mash and 4.5gallon sparge

    No that was higher than people said, but I couldn’t get it lowered without putting all the other numbers in the red zone.

    I have had some great input on water profiles for an all grain Kölsch I’m brewing using RO water for the first time using salts. I’ve been playing with the calculators built into beersmith, as well as EZWater and John palmers app, however it can be very frustrating trying to reach my targets...

    Fermentation temp controller question

    I’m Not sure either. The thermostat says the temp is 61.2 (still set at 68 +/- 1) however my digital thermometer inside reads 65.3

    Fermentation temp controller question

    Thanks for the response. I have taken numerous opinions into consideration and I do think the best thing at this time would be to tape the sensor to the side of the bucket then remove it when I cold crash it. As far as temperatures go, I’m still playing with it as it’s not going so well...

    Fermentation temp controller question

    I recently purchased a chest freezer and an inkbird temp controller. I plan on brewing with safeale us-05 this weekend I called my lhbs to ask what temperature I should set it to if I wanted to ferment at 70. He told me to set it to 68, and make sure the differential is no less than 66 and no...
