I have a couple of the pictured regulators, and they are a bloody nightmare. I can't recall them always being problematic, so perhaps the sodastream bottles changed slightly? Anyway, can anyone offer advice on a gasket that will do the job? I'm in europeland if that matters.

As an update, I modified my kettle, and the whirlpool arm seems to have helped with keeping the temps stable during mashing.

Found this thread after having had a similar idea after seeing the brew tools lineup, and having had some uneven temps on my DIY rig. I have 2-2.5" clearance height wise, and 1" from the kettle to the malt pipe. Is it essential that the pickup tube end is between the kettle wall and the malt...

I'm actually quite a bit to the north of Oslo. Last i Checked, the cellar here is 15C, but it might be a little warmer now. I'm not 100% certain about yeast, but something fitting weissbier.

To make a short question long; I do have a fermentation fridge, but for for me (and many others I assume), fermentation and time for cold crashing is the real bottle neck. My first 2-3 brews I managed without a fridge, but this was in a very cold room during winter (less than 10C). My...

I am. Also have some manual control over the wattage. Should probably decrease it further

I've tried the controller now for three brews. Still very much a novice, stuck in manual mode still, but I am having issues with mash temp overshoots. Is auto mode with PID calibration much better in this regard?

So, after a long hiatus, I am getting ready to get back into brewing, using my new diy brewery (partially seen here: Typicalnervecells typical diy electric brewing build. ). Now, I'm pretty sure I did the maths, but this was prior to covid even, so I suppose a second opinion wouldn't hurt. The...

I tried flashing the software yesterday, and some very quick testing suggests it was uploaded, and is working, but I get a LOT of error messages when building. Am I missing something with Platformio?

I should probably get around to building the brewmaniac controller and read trough whatever manual is available... Thanks for the advice about ssvr control, looks to be affordable to add one if needed.

I'm in the process of making a new brewery build, using a 3500W element. It will be controlled with brewmaniac software. Now, for a couple of reasons, if possible, I'd like to limit the power of the heater to say, 3000W as this will put in, or near enough to ULWD territory, as well as give me...

Just wanted to say thanks to SSR for making this :) Also, for fellow europeans, if you are able to use notepad and the search function, it's possible to change from oz to dl if you should want to do so, and don't mind fiddling a bit with the numbers. In my setup, the amount poured is more or...

Just tried the kveiked Citra smash ipa. At first I was not entirely convinced, but I am quickly on my third glass, so I suppose it is quite alright! Definitely different from how I recall my previous batch of citra smash ipa with US-05.

What's the difference between in the bottle and in the fridge?

Here's a picture of my latest batch using Voss kveik. I was sceptical if my 40W heating belt would be enough to keep it at high fermentation temperature, but wrapping the fermzilla in a couple of layers of blankets does wonders. Room temp is roughly the same as OP's basemement, and the surface...
