What are you measuring when you are getting the temperature fluctuations? Is it in air, is it in a kettle full of water, are you in an ice bath? Have you confirmed your grounds work well? Are you getting good continuity across the loop run? Are you seeing fluctuations in the loop run?

Some things I'm reading put it at about 7A for inrush. However if you are not comfortable with that you can use the STC-1000 to turn on a contactor which handles the large load for the AC. 20A Contactor

Thanks for the neat article! I think this touches on what Brulosophy was calling a Vitality Starter a while ago, see attached HBT thread. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/threads/vitality-starters.689064/ I've personally been using this method for a while now and can confirm that I have had reduced...

I have been replacing my membranes every 3 years. They still check out on TDS when I punt them. I mostly do it as a part of a total system PM where I scrub out all the housings, nuke the whole wetted assembly all the way through to the dispenser on my fridge with bleach, and verify the bladder...

Considering the overall shrinking of the homebrew market how is anyone surprised? Print has been shrinking overall as well, not just for homebrew. Y'all are welcome to vote with your wallets either way you see fit. Are you prepared for BYO to flat out shut down and lose what they have been...

The product page does state "Vacuum Release" but the manuals or the rest of the site do not include any data on what pressure the vacuum release kicks in. For cold crashing section of the manual it specifically states that CO2 pressure should be added. Sorry for the loss of you conical. I'd...

LOL @ this thread. This is a hobby, for fun. You can either get in, experiment, have fun and do it the way you like it, or turn it into a corndog waving contest. For the style of beer you are gunning for I have personally capped it meaning adding the roast grains to the last bit of the mash...

The date is based on a packaging validation. The date is based on how long they actually bothered to test, or they tested this long and actually found an issue. For a product this cheap, I don't expect them to have done some ridiculous 10 year validation where as they can convince sweaty brew...

If you are using an inkbird or something similar to control your fridge, I just put a cheap power strip on the cooling outlet and have the fridge and a 12v power adapter for the fan plugged into the power strip. If you don't feel like farting around with a 12v power supply you can also just use...

You can seal it pretty well with HVAC tape. Overlap the tape by 1/2 tape width. That is all I did on my ****** dorm fridge I rescued out of the trash room during move out day senior year of college 14 years ago and it still lagers like a champ! You can probably save some electricity with the...

S23 has made some fun lagers for me, but then again I was not gunning for clean. I was playing with newer hops like Sasquatch, so I can't exactly tell you which factor was bringing more funk. The issue with this kind of question is that all palettes are different, what is gross for some is tasty...

There is some solid advice in the thread just to mirror and confirm some of the points. 1) Move your Rims tube and flip it over. I prefer to apply heat after the pump, less strain via cavitation and degassing of the liquid to the pump. Mount your tube such that the element is on the bottom, and...

Hey thanks for listing out your pH targets. You have any thoughts on having a pH target for the start of the boil to improve the performance of hot break and then adjusting down before hop additions? I accept that FWH will mess with this practice.

Would you mind sharing a link to the one you bought?

Here is a wall mount for the common cables used for Boil Kettles and HLTs. I use this to keep the cables out of the way while I am cleaning the vessels. https://www.printables.com/model/981787-boil-kettlehlt-cable-wall-mount

How do you keep that water from getting funky?

Hey thanks for posting this article! One of the big takeaways I am getting from this article is the impact on the next generation when reused. As someone who overbuilds starters and harvests from there I think I will be trying to dose my starters as well as my fermenters from here on out...

I have fit thermowells to all my fermenters and have the probe in there. For buckets you can bore the hole up to fit something like this. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01KP4D0K2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I'm hearing the benefits of cold side addition here in this thread. Anyone try just adding it to their starters when they spin up yeast?
