Brewed this with Imperial Yeast Loki A43 ... I wanted a fast turnaround to drop bright and was concerned that notty would take too long. Brewed 2022-04-18. Put in basement with no temp control. Ranged from 67 F to 71 F during active fermentation. (Note for image below: iSpindle is not 100%...

A buddy of mine got me a German Beer Advent calendar last year and many had this common flavor. For whatever reason I adopted the term "vinous" for this flavor because there was some aspect that reminded me of white wine, but sweet. Looking back at my Untappd, I would tag them with "sweet". I...

Didn't expect to be heading back to school on a Saturday! Thanks for the explanation and the files. I am going to treat it as things are overcarbed and then put back under a lower CO2 pressure for a few days before returning to beergas with a more appropriate pressure. From your chart, and...

Yes, both ESB and stout on beergas. The ESB is acting "off" and I am not sure if it is just overcarbed ... I followed the same burst carb procedure as I normally do, not considering that it should come in low (7-8 psi instead of 12psi). I cut the stout burst carb off early and it seems to be...

I'm taking a dip into serving on nitro and having some trouble getting a good pour. Keezer is set to 38 F but beer pours 45 - 50 F depending on where it is in the keezer and if it is a top or bottom draw. The ESB and Irish Stout pour at 48 - 50 F, both are top draw. I am aiming for 1.8 vols and...

Thanks for the responses… I think I'm just going to let it go and not mess with it.

I have a Dry Irish Stout (OG 1.045, S-04) that is finishing about 7 points higher than I expected. I was shooting for 1.012 but has settled into 1.019 (or close to it as I monitor with a iSpindel). I've tried bumping the temperature up to 68F and rousing the yeast but haven't really gotten any...

Whirlpool for 15 min at 180 °F = After the boil, chill the wort slightly (down to below 180 but above 160), add hop addition and stir occasionally for 15 min. After that continue chilling.

I recharge mine between brews which has allowed them to go for at least 6 weeks at 5 min update interval. It would be longer if I kept the default 15 min interval. I do not know the lifetime of the rechargeable battery itself, but that is easily replaceable. My units came precalibrated and they...

Also, it does not require any additional bridge or device to upload the data. It uses WiFi to connect to the local WLAN and then communicates directly with the remote Ubidots account.

I believe it is WiFi only ... meaning that I know it is WiFi because that is how I use it and believe it does not have Bluetooth.

It sounds like you are over carbonating. I do 24 hours at 35 F / 30-35 psi and then dial back to serving pressure (10-12 psi). I do not purposely release the pressure in the keg when dialing back. This gets me in the range of 2.3 - 2.5 vols pretty quickly. 50 F / 30 psi for a few days and...

I used an iSpindel that logs to a free ubidots account.

I let mine soak in hot PBW after every use and that got rid of the "stickiness" in both the pressure button and relief valve.

How snug is it when you insert the TapCooler? I have InterTap flow control and the o-rings are so tight that the unit won't insert unless I first spray it with sanitizer. Removing it takes a little force, too. The tolerances are really tight, too. One of my faucet ends got "glued" and I had to...

This is relative to the metal ones but I assume that the plastic ones are the same. Have you unscrewed, examined, and reseated the center portion? The piece with the hex portion under the barb is a separate piece with its own o-ring. If it is loose or the o-ring is damaged you would get leakage...

It makes bottling so easy. The only issue is that at least once per session I forget to turn the tap off before removing the bottle. Other than that I end up with only a few drips.

Gravity. I built the collar and then faced it with 12" x 1/2" PVC boards that hang down below the collar forming a lip that keeps the structure in place.

https://nationaldaycalendar.com/national-drink-beer-day-september-28/ It's such an important event, I observe it all year long.

I decided to go in a different direction and pick a dunkel recipe that was dark enough instead of trying to modify one to be dark.
