I did not jump on this offer because I'm already using an Inkbird WiFi ITC-308 on my fermentation chamber (mini-fridge) that sits in our basement mechanical room. I like to raise my beers to 70 degrees to finish, which is possible in the summer, but during the winter the basement temps only run...

Hi, I try to get all of my beers as clear as possible, using Whirlfloc, Clarity Ferm and cold-crash with gelatin finings. This makes most of my beers, including this IPA, crystal clear from the first pour. I just kegged the fourth batch of my go to double IPA (it's an extract recipe using...

You'll have to let me know how the motion sensor works in your mail box. We have cluster-boxes in our neighbor hood with twelve small (4" x 4"?) boxes all grouped together. The sensors aren't large per se, but I don't trust the mailman not to knock it off or something. I don't know if you're...

Everything uses AA's or AAA's, so nothing weird for batteries. I've only been using the products since last August, so I can't comment on the 5-year claim, but all my sensors show full battery indicators. If that is accurate they have not drained hardly at all. And that includes the motion...

Correct - it has 3/4" wood on the inside and outside of the collar, with foam insulation in between, and 1/4" oak plywood covering everything. However, I built my keezer with a false bottom, so that everything is level with the top of the compressor hump. It's made out of 1/4" aluminum plating...

Here's a screen shot of the app and some of my devices. The Smart IR Remote is the only one I've been disappointed with - it's very rudimentary for a "smart" remote.

No, there is no subscription fee. You just need to install their free app and then add your hub. Once that's setup, you can start adding sensors, controls, etc. All of their products have a unique QR code on them. When the app is installed, you just click the icon to add a device and scan the QR...

Hi, Full disclosure: I am in no way affiliated with this company, and I get nothing whatsoever from this post. Other than, perhaps, a selfish desire to keep them in business, as losing them would be a big blow to my home automation! :( I have been interested in home automation for longer...

I had wanted to brew a brown ale, so I ordered an extract kit for one a few years back. I was concerned from the start when it only contained something like 10 or 12 ounces of specialty grains. I steeped it longer than the recipe called for and rinsed the grain bag a number of times. Took it all...

I have a nut brown ale that I keg, and it is the foamiest beer I brew. Not sure if it's the style or what. I have flow-control Perlicks, and I have to dial that tap way down or I pour a glass of nothing but foam. My recipe uses almost a pound of flaked oats - not sure if that's what does it or...

I'd love another Inkbird product. Thanks!

Hi HBearBrew, I've brewed this stout four times. I have a nitro tap, and I've played around with various stouts and porters, trying to find a good one. Ever since I brewed this oatmeal stout, I pretty much haven't done anything else on nitro. I use Safale S-04, which shows an attenuation of 74...

First, I was wondering how it turned out? Second, hopefully not to hijack your thread, I'd appreciate any advice on an oatmeal stout I'll be brewing soon. It's a partial-mash, with the following grain bill: 1.5 lb Flaked Oats 1.5 lb 2 Row 12 oz Biscuit 9 oz Crystal 60 9 oz Pale Chocolate 7 oz...

I'd like to see a graph of fermentation to see how fast things happen - mainly just to nerd out - hopefully the Raspberry Pi will solve that. I too am interested in SG/FG. I let my fermentation temps free rise to 70, regardless of what beer I'm brewing, as it nears completion. It will be nice to...

I cold-crashed the starter (as I always do) and it looked like a normal yeast cake. I brewed and pitched yesterday. There was a little activity by last night and it's going strong now - very similar to my previous batches of this beer - so everything looks good. Thanks for your help!

I have my old phone near the fermenter, and it only records data while the display is on. I have it set to one hour (the longest it can be), so I'm getting five data points (first one, and four more at fifteen minute intervals) before the display turns off and it stops saving data. As I said...

Hi, I'm using a Tilt Hydrometer for the first time and I have a couple of issues. First, I calibrated the Tilt per instructions with water, 10% and 20% sugar water. I verified the solutions with my refractometer and they were spot on, as was the Tilt (no calibration required). I just brewed a...

Hi, I'm brewing a double IPA (1.074 SG) later this week with Wyeast 1056. The yeast has been in my refrigerator since I got it a month ago. I noticed the pouch was pretty swollen when I got it, but I didn't think a lot about it. The yeast has a best used by date of 05/23/2021 (I really wish...

Looks like it solves the issues I have with my blue-tooth sous vide. Please send me a code! Could you briefly detail the difference between the ISV-100W and ISV-200W? I haven't been able to find anything. Thanks!

Yes! Thanks Inkbird!
