    FastFerment conical

    Make sure your into the wall studs. If I we're to mount mine on the wall I'd have it 4 to 6 inches higher than a keg. I wouldn't want to be to close to the ceiling.

    Building BrewPi... is my plan obsolete?

    I started with Fuzze's howto thread, then added the LCD thanks to daytrippers thread. I've learned that this thing is only limited by your imagination and abilities. After asking a question here https://community.brewpi.com/t/brewometer-integration/1674 I was able to integrate the tilt...

    List of PJ Electrical Diagrams

    I don't think it would. But typically L stands for Load so I'd place the energized connection there. You do need to make sure your DC inputs to trigger it are the correct polarity, as shown on this data sheet. http://www.teledynerelays.com/pdf/industrial/sd.pdf

    Long lines problems

    How many posts are we going to endure that are so far off topic that the original question has been lost? None of this bickering is helping the OP. Why don't you guys take this argument to the PM's?

    Do yeast really clean up after themselves?

    What time period are we talking about? When you say the yeast is done, is that when you see activity cease? That could be 4-5 days after pitching. I've recently added a Tilt hydrometer to my set up so now I have a means to see a trend. What I see is a rapid drop in gravity in 3-4 days. then...

    to batch or fly

    I'm using a ten gallon round cooler. To me this is ideal for fly sparging. Haven't tried batching with it. Its just easy for me to set the flow rate from the HLT and then let the run off occur. When you batch sparge what do you do? just fill the tun with water stir drain and repeat? how...

    troubleshooting post / QD on keg with beer in it!

    Since you say that with each post you tried the QD fits awkwardly I wonder if there is some damage to the disconnect?. Have you inspected the inside of that? Do you have another to try in its place?

    BeerSmith Efficiency Calculator

    My last two batches came in lower gravity than I expected so what i did was modify my total efficiency number, adjusting it until the estimated SG matched what i had measured. After watching this video, I decided to look back at a few recipes I've made this past year. If you notice the text on...

    Imperial Stout Russian Imperial Stout (2011 HBT Competition Category Winner)

    Opened a bottle yesterday, 4 months in the bottle. Still has some alcohol heat. Nice raisin notes, complimented by the bourbon oak vanilla flavor and chocolate from the nibs. Wish I treated more of this batch. I'd say the experiment is a success.
