    Brewometer kickstarter thoughts - digital bluetooth hydrometer

    Force quitting the app is something that is usually only done when an app crashes. You get no warning from the system that you are being closed down, and your memory space is instantly gone so you have no chance to recover anything which may have been lost. It's an exceptional action which you...

    Brewometer kickstarter thoughts - digital bluetooth hydrometer

    Why swipe it away? You're likely messing with its data storage mechanism. Swiping apps away is only needed if they crash, otherwise just push the home button

    Should I believe the IBUs on Beersmith

    Don't forget that all any brewing software is doing is throwing together a formula based on rate equations to spit out an IBU number. There are myriad factors not taken into account which will drive the actual IBU level of the finished beer. See for example this experiment from Brulosophy...

    10-3 or 10-4 wire

    Ah ok. Just wanted to make sure we steered you right. If you don't mind spending a little extra now then get 10-4 SJOOW or SOOW. You can use that to wire up your element and just not connect the neural to anything. Then later on you can cut it short and connect the neutral in your panel. The...

    10-4 SOOW or SJOOW

    I'm looking for 25-30 feet of 10-4 SJOOW or SOOW cable. Don't need any connectors or anything like that, just bare cable. For reference, 25ft of SOOW from Amazon can be had for less than 40$ so sensible offers if anyone has anything for sale please

    10-3 or 10-4 wire

    Wait wait. Are you asking about the wire to the control panel from your wall outlet? Or from the panel to the element? You don't need to run a neutral to the element, it needs two conductors and a ground. My brew setup uses 4500w elements in the HLT and the RIMS tube, so I have to 10-3 SJOOW...

    What I did for beer today

    Just reset the gap on my mill to a more recirculation friendly 0.045, previously it was gapped using a credit card, so a nominal 0.038, and some pre-RIMS recirculation tests showed that the mash stuck after about ten minutes. Not wanting to eyeball the gap, a set of feeler gauges was five bucks...

    Intertap beer faucets

    They have an issued patent so are free to enforce it. They are playing by the rules. It is the rules which are broken

    First Attempt w/Bru'n Water for an IPA

    Zombie Dust is a Pale Ale/IPA, you should try the Yellow Bitter water profile, or the Pale Ale profile instead of the Amber Balanced one which you have selected. I have also had great success for Pale Ales with the Mad Fermentationist water profiles, he suggests 175ppm Sulfate and about 50ppm...

    What I did for beer today

    I assembled the top tier of my brew stand and got a sheet of MDF ripped down to the approximate size for the two levels. Later I'll be setting at it with a jigsaw to cut notches for the lower shelf to fit around the uprights and for the upper shelf to fit around the electrical panel mounting. I...

    What I did for beer today

    Over the last two days I purchased a 10 cuft chest freezer, built a collar and installed my two faucets. Picked up various odds and ends to assemble the stc1000 into a proper box. Started building my brew stand. So far I have the base layer built, 6 ft long by 2 ft deep, rolling on heavy duty...

    New RO setup

    Hi Russ I have pretty low ion content water, about 100ppm coming out of the tap. I'll give you a call in the next week to talk through choices, as my water is expensive so I would be interested to know if I can keep a decent production rate and potentially even lose some rejection efficiency if...

    Awesome. How much waste water are you generating?
