Yeah, I’m with you. I’ve been in contact with their development folks and still can’t get more than very basic and rudimentary functionality. Somebody else recently chimed in and said they were able to get alot more function so I need to copy their profile program and see if that solves the...

the comparison you've set up is flawed. @riceral is correct, in terms of brewing techniques, they are both basically BIAB- you use a single vessel and remove the grains from the wort, not the wort from the grains. both have one inherent structural flaw- flour and other grain particles...

negative. the yeast have basically been short-cycled. warmish temps. huge pitch count. means little to no ester formation. 34/70 is fine up into 60s no problem, so fusels or other crap isnt an issue either. most likely i'd wager (assuming all other aspects are normal) that there'll...

yeah, thats a **** ton of yeast considering your OG. i mean 1037 is basically starter wort. three packs is crazy overkill. even two would be overpitch at that OG. i'd wager thats gonna be a pretty clean pils

cellar science is their in-house brand. its just repackaged from big yeast labs. looks like $109 for mexi, 34/70 and s-23 varieties. (baja, german, berlin)

if you're counting cells then you're golden, just figure out what the starter requirement is and you're set. frankly in this case you're still having to cough up quite a bit for yeast. since you dont want to ferment warm or under pressure i'd do the biggest starter you can with the gear at...

hold up. just so i have this right- you have left the bag in for the boil? or this is an idea that you are theorizing "It should come out quite clean" and plan to try? i ask because one of the things i've noticed is that while alot of trub gets caught on the false bottom plate, a good...

Awesome. Thx. The two alerts I actually care about are pretry close to some of yours. I want a temp alert around 200ish so I know when boil is about to hit. And an alert when mash out starts so I know when to come down and pull grains, sparge if necessary, etc. after still having no luck...

Are you getting the temp alerts? I’ve done troubleshooting with KegLand probably dozen times but the temp alerts don’t work. I’m on newest firmware, other than temp calibration machine is at default settings. No luck, over and over. was specifically told the alert you show first for temp...

Has anybody been able to successfully use the Alerts function in the profiles you can program in rapt? The temp and time alerts don’t seem to work. Am only getting alerts when a profile finishes running, no matter whether I ask for one or not….

^this Side x side fridge to ferm chamber FTW!

Can’t recall for sure but I think I got it by mail. Shoot an email or give them a call tomorrow if you don’t wanna waste a trip. I do that now as SOP since our store up here seems to be a bit iffy on stocking the more low volume items. Not sure if it’s an option for retail account but I...

No. Don’t recall seeing any. Posted a question here- most folks said blend it with regular juice. I’m not up on finer details of cider making, but I think some addition of acid would be enough to produce a great cider. Flavor was great, just a bit flat.

I used it at 30% and it was pretty prominent. But it lacked acidity I think. Don’t do a lot of ciders but need to do that one again, maybe like 20%.

3/8 makes a nice tight fit. That’s according to “a friend“ who did some “experimenting“ in college….

random brew stuff in SF bay area 6gal kettle with lid, ss 1/2 full port ball valve, wilser bag for biab 3 gal kegs used co2 regulators located in Oakland area

nope. just the mash hops. and a small late-kettle charge often. but the passion/guava note is the same. so to my mind, that just leaves malts or mash hops as the x factor. (assuming its not the yeast)

thats an interesting take. i havent served a single thiolized beer that wasnt a hit. saaz and cascade in mash, maybe a little bit of very late kettle hop, and some beers with some dry hops, others without. all were damn good. what i will say is that i am mostly getting the 3mha, which is...

heading out to the valley this weekend to visit family. probably friday or saturday. can drop off if you're around.
