Thank you. I had found that same thing but wasn’t 100% convinced it’s the same.

Any idea what would cause a Speidel Fermenter to develop a pink discoloration?

Does anyone have contact info including phone # for Tilt Hydrometer? My wife apparently ordered me one and it didn’t show up. She has emailed them but they haven’t returned her email. Thanks.

It was full volume biab. I think it’s likely that my pre-boil gravity reading was off. Possibly also some mis-reading of volume.

This makes sense. Thank you.

All grain. I checked my refractometer and the calibration on that is fine. It must be some sort of volume issue. Something in my system must be off. Weird.

It’s weird. This is the first time this has happened to me. Usually I’m writhing a point.

I just finished a brew day and had a strange final gravity reading that I can’t Figure out. Maybe one of you has some ideas. Per Beersmith my I hit my preboil gravity and volume. 1.035, 7.5 gal. At end of boil my gravity was supposed to be 1.047, 5.5 gal. My volume was pretty much exact by my...

I’m using your biab false bottom so with that boilcoil I I unfortunately have about 3.5 gal below the bag.

Hey Bobby, Great video. Thanks for sharing your system. I wish I would have seen this before putting mine together. I’m on a Blichmann 10G w/boilcoil. I’m running and Auberins Cube 2 as the controller. When recircing I’ve been finding my mash temps are all over the place. Is adding the...

It’s great to be reading this. I just experimented using these same two yeasts in a similar size beer (1.062 OG) and it stalled at 1.016. My thought was to rack into an empty keg with Brett and let it hang out for a while. It’s good to see you had good results. Keeping my fingered crossed it s...

No issues with the bag scorching in your set up?

I’m only using a 10g kettle in which I max out with about 11-12lbs of grain. Not ideal. Here’s my set up. Im using a hangover to hold the temp sensor and the recirc arm.

I’m on a Blichmann with a boil coil. I just adjusted my milk to .035. We’ll see how that goes. I actually haven’t been using rice hulls. Perhaps that the missing piece. Thanks!

Thank you! Do you mill your own grains? If so, do you know your crush size? On my last batch, which had a larger grain bill than my typical, my flow seemed to be very restricted. I’m wondering if the bag weave is slowing it down or my grain crush.
