    Pitching rate "rules of thumb"

    And on top of that you can still vary that number to get the yeast to be more or less expressive depending on the strain. At some point the buggers will get stressed to the point of bad beer, unless apparently its kveik.

    Adapting existing system for automation

    If you are trying to adapt your existing controller you would be bypassing the PIDs entirely. You would take the RTD signals into your controller via some form of amplifier Example one. Or punt the existing temperature sensors and go to DS18b20 based ones which can be brought in digitally. And...

    Is a filter necessary in a dip tube?

    It is completely conditional on your process. If you are dryhopping in keg or have fruit chunks you are going to want a screen. If you are racking dryhopped beers in without some sort of screen between the ferementer and keg, you'll want a screen. If you just have mostly clear beer and some...

    Pitching rate "rules of thumb"

    To throw another source of information to confound the whole thing is the varying cell count/g(biomass). Are we to target a biomass or a cell count? Based on the attached, I don't think there is any accurate way of targeting cell count short of picking up counting equipment...

    Question on SS Brewtech Glycol Chillers/FTSs & Fermzill All Rounder

    Why use the FTSS at all? The pump and the heater you already have should plug into the linked controller and you are good to go. Temp Controller Pump

    Flava-Malt?

    Why does this sound like LME or DME with extracts added?

    New YouTube Channel: Brewski Tech (DIY Tech for Better Beer)

    Lets see if the code populates here correctly. Aside from the code I also have an automation in home assistant such that if the temp sensors become "unavailable" for 30s or more, all affiliated smart plugs are shut down. FYI this controller is set up for two different ferm chambers "Brown" and...

    The TP link smart plugs and the power strip are locally addressed. Got to test this out yesterday by unplugging the modem from the network.

    To ship or not to ship

    If you are set on liquid go for it, but that is a pretty solid candidate to switch out for Munich Classic.

    Need a new chiller, cautionary tale

    Or use one of these with a CO2 tank you may have laying around. https://www.brewhardware.com/product_p/balllockxfgh.htm

    To ship or not to ship

    What liquid yeast are you going for? Depending on the strain you may actually be better off with the dry yeast Munich Classic.

    When to add flaked corn?

    Is this an all grain brew? If so you add it in with all the other grains during the mash. Best of luck!

    New YouTube Channel: Brewski Tech (DIY Tech for Better Beer)

    That is something that I will have to test out. Reason I went with the Tp-Link stuff was that I thought these plugs/strips could be addressed on the local network. I have used a TP link plug similarly to manage a 3D printer via octoprint.

    New YouTube Channel: Brewski Tech (DIY Tech for Better Beer)

    Tested this out on breadboard. Got it working by just defining a home assistant switch. So right now I have 2 temp sensors on the same esp32 that is hosting two thermostats. Now to see how annoying I want to be about the fans. switch: - platform: homeassistant id: Test_Switch...

    RO brand recommendation

    A well made connection with retaining clips will be a much lower risk than a push to connect connection that is constantly cycled. This is your risk to assume, best of luck with whatever direction you choose.

    Wyeast 1968 Dry Substitute

    Dang, you are right. In that case Windsor for dry yeast.

    Japanese Rice Lager recipe formulation

    I hear you on flaked rice is easier, however it also has a staling potential. Here is my grain bill 6lb Pilsner 12oz Vienna 2Lb of Rice (about 9 cups) I just recently made my first rice lager with basmati rice and let me save you a heap of trouble. Don't bother with the cereal mash. All you...

    Big Mouth Bubbler Fermenters

    Lol, if you go back 10 years or so on these forums you will find heaps of reports of the same issue. I still have 2 of the plastic ones that I use to this day. The easiest way to fix this is to flip the gasket upside down so that the wide part is toward the fermenter and the skinny part is...

    Wyeast 1968 Dry Substitute

    I'd say Lallemand London ESB. While S04 is a great yeast I think it goes too dry and doesn't hit anywhere near the same notes as WY1968/WLP002.
