    Aeration

    I aerate immediately before pitching, mostly because I don't want yeast getting in the diffusion stone and finding its way to future batches. I do sanitize the wand and stone before use but why take chances?

    What fermenter are you using?

    +1 on the Speidels. In the past I have used Better Bottle, Big Mouth Bubbler, glass, buckets, and most recently SS BrewBucket. While I like the BrewBucket the valve is finicky and prone to leaks, as is the weldless thermowell. The Speidels are reasonably priced, durable, super easy to...

    Automated Hop Addition

    The Hops Boss for Brew Boss systems is similar to OP's design. It's got a chute that drops the hops into the spider. Seems to work completely off gravity. Have not heard about problems sticking, but do not recall any reviews specifically on this accessory...

    Motorized Grain Mills: Time to show them off!

    I tried reversing the supply wires to no avail, and asked williams support. Was told it cant be reversed, that it is hard wired for their mill. Perhaps it is the wires between the switch and the motor that need to be reversed? At any rate, the bottom mount provided a more elegant solution so...

    Motorized Grain Mills: Time to show them off!

    Finally pulled the trigger and purchased the Williams Brewing mill motorizing kit. No regrets, but my setup took a bit more work than anticipated. The motor only turns clockwise, and my mill only turns counter-clockwise with no way to reverse the drive roller. So I was going to buy a new mill...

    Fermentation Fridge Question

    During the cooling cycle the fridge already has a fan that should create decent air movement. But a small fan certainly helps, especially if you have a heater in the chamber. I use a PC fan rigged up in a plastic box that sits on the shelf next to the fermenter. There are no hard and fast...

    Fermentation Fridge Question

    For basic top freezer models with separate temp controls for Freezer and Refrigerator, my understanding is that the Fridge setting controls the thermostat, and the Freezer setting controls a damper that determines how much of the cold air moves from freezer to fridge when the compressor/fan are...

    Adding salts to beer

    Toobly, I think the point is to use the calculators to determine the best mineral content of your mash water to achieve acceptable mash ph. Calculate additions based on mash volume and sparge volume if sparging. After mash and boil the mineral concentration of your wort will be different...

    Co2 gurgle, help!

    Gas going in to the keg should stop once the keg pressurizes fully. If you still hear hissing then you likely have a leak somewhere, but most of my leaks have been so small you can't hear them. Check the o-ring on the keg post, and make sure it is the right one for your posts. Are all of...

    Native ESP8266 BrewPi Firmware - WiFi BrewPi, no Arduino needed!

    Thanks alexlark. I have tried that reflashing the arduino and resetting the EEPROM several times to no avail. Everything seems to be functioning otherwise. The only log file showing errors is Fermentrack (Web Application), with many errors that seem to trace back to 'query.py'. I'll see...

    Native ESP8266 BrewPi Firmware - WiFi BrewPi, no Arduino needed!

    Yes, I tried that, but all of the fields remain blank even after the reset. To change one setting I have to place values in every field in order to submit the changes.
