They're a great addition in small amounts to your bread! I've tried them "wet" where I just portion out some small amounts into bags and throw them into the freezer. My preferred method is to dry them out then grind them into a flour using a spice or coffee grinder. I made a guide for that...

I wanted to try substituting beer instead of water in a batch of bread to see what would happen. I used a Munich Dunkel I brewed and had on tap. It really provided a great boost of color with a little flavor making it through to the final slice. I also added a small amount (1.5% by weight) of...

This isn't a discussion about the best location for the temp probe, but instead how to actually mount it to get accurate temperature readings of the output. I have a new-to-me RIMS tube with a thermowell on the top side of the heating element. I have my temp probe in there with some thermal...

First pour of a Barke Pilsner + Loral SMaSH. Fermented under pressure at 28psi for 4 weeks with 34/70. Two weeks at 52'F and two weeks at 56'F. 1.048 -> 1.009. It's only been in the kegerator for two days and I expect it to clear up more as it spends additional time conditioning.

4,049.5 + 3 gallons old ale (second batch for barrel) = 4,052.5

3967 + 3 gallons old ale = 3,970

$99 sent for the RIMS setup. Thanks!

Ah, right on. Easy enough. I'll send the payment whenever I get the paypal/venmo address. Thanks again!

edit: looking at the plug, that doesn't look like 110v. Is that a 220v plug on it? Oh yeah, i'm not sure why I was thinking it would need two end caps, lol. $99 sounds good to me. Just message me your paypal or venmo info and I'll get that payment off to you! No super rush on getting it...

I'm interested in the RIMS setup. Are those 1.5" TC fittings? Also, it looks like there's one barb fitting for the input/output in the photo, but do you have a second one as part of the setup? Lastly, do you remember what wattage the heating element is? I may be interested in the silicone...

nice! What are you doing for insulation / climate control in the shed? I've been thinking about moving my ferm chamber out into our shed but it's not insulated at all and it can get pretty warm/cold depending on the season.

Found a RIMS system, so this thread isn't needed anymore.

One more followup just to round out my issues. I became obsessively determined to get the Rapt Pill to work with my setup and believe I finally did. To give as many details as I can in case anyone else finds themselves in a similar situation, here's my setup. Base setup Wifi: Nest Wifi (Gen...

My Vienna lager cleared up nicely

Rapt Pill feature request @KegLand -- I'm not sure the storage capacity onboard the pill, but it would be great if a future firmware update would allow for storage of telemetry data that didn't send due to shoddy connectivity and then send it during a subsequent burst. It would really make the...
