    Homebrew Beer filter. No more secondary Ferm?

    Can anyone show any pictures of before/after filtering with a 0.1 micron filter? The lack of clarity in my beer is rather frustrating. I've used gelatine and Kieselsol recently to no avail. Cooling to 0.4 C. Leaving gelatine for 1 week and Kieselsol for 3 days. 10ml gelatin 20% and 10ml...

    Mixed apparent attenuation calculation

    Hi, I'm wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction. I know if I just have say 10kg sucrose in 20l of water, I can get an OG of 1.19195. And calculate FG with an apparent attenuation of 122%: 1.19195-(((1.19195-1)*(122/100))) = 0.957771 FG Also if I have a wort...

    Can it even be done? Measuring Specific Gravity using Arduino or Raspberry Pi

    I'm skeptical on the accuracy of refractometers in general once there's fermentation. Ideally spectroscopy would be the solution, but the sensors are ridiculously expensive (currently).

    Can it even be done? Measuring Specific Gravity using Arduino or Raspberry Pi

    creekrat, I'm not sure what you mean exactly by weight options. Do you mean where you dangle a weight in the beer, like beer bug, if so I've tried that approach, but found massive problems from creep from the load cell.

    Can it even be done? Measuring Specific Gravity using Arduino or Raspberry Pi

    You could certainly try, I'm not sure how accurate that would be though. I'm trying to measure the speed of sound using a 100MHz ADC to try and get fine grained information.

    Can it even be done? Measuring Specific Gravity using Arduino or Raspberry Pi

    I'm working on a specific gravity meter using ultrasound currently. I'll be charting my progress on http://hackaday.io/project/1231-Zymeter The idea is to measure both the speed of sound and the amplitude of the returned pulse, in order to calculate the specific gravity.
