Less is more. This uses Novalager yeast. Simple grain bill and saaz hops only.

Had zero issues today. Was told the issue above may be because of the Bernoulli Principle (I don't know either so don't ask). https://www.homebrewtalk.com/threads/bottling-tips-for-the-homebrewer.94812/post-10492435

Got around to bottling today and I've never had a sweeter flow. I bottled directly from the conical's racking arm and by having the tube flush against the base of the barb and a worm clamp over the tube at the bottling wand everything was very tight. I also removed the airlock and let the...

Washing bottles is a pain in the hoop and my dishwasher doesn't get hot enough to use so I mix up 25L of pbw in my brewzilla and pump it into the bottles. I'll invert them in a box after 30 mins for total coverage. Then do the same with clean water. The pump makes this go very quickly and...

In the end I got the rapt temper Controller from als express pretty cheap. If I had a more modern apartment that was somewhat automateable I'd probably play with Home Assistant but this is ready to go so 🤷‍♂️

Brewfather has a water chemistry wizard that will get you most of the way there. I've timestamped the video so it should start at the water section

Lol, somehow, that made it worse. Now it's -88db. I'm guessing kind of an eye of the storm effect from the wifi waves. I'll move the pi around the room and see if there's any difference.

https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/rapt_ble/ Has anybody used it? Last night I dug out an old raspberry pi 3b and created a wifi access point next to my fridge (with an ss conical inside) yet my signal is still never better than -80db. The pill next to the pi is -50db so I lose up to...

Honestly think it's just for cleaning

Was thinking that alright. Good to know there's a plan b if the wobbly tap gets on my nerves too much.

No issues draining it?

I only use it for draining during cleaning so not too pushed tbh, even if it does feel wobbly

It's the little hole in the middle Need to replicate that same effect on this hose Barb outlet Or figure out a workaround so it's not needed. When I tried to bottle directly from here using silicon tubing and a bottling wand I couldn't get any flow without cutting a hole in the tubing...

Anyone have any ideas on how to replicate the vent hole in bottling bucket taps/spiggots on a stainless conical racking arm? @doug293cz sorry to @ you directly but if I'm not mistaken you're a man of physics and engineering?

Ain't no shame in holding on to lodo, as long as you make room for other things too

Ya I think I could hook up a soda stream bottle somehow. But what's creating the issue in the first place? Me no physics good

I have a bottling wand connected to my racking arm via a bit of silicon tubing. Lid on fermenter cracked open. Open valve on racking arm but no flow. Take away bottling wand and lots of flow. Confirm no blockage in wand. There's some sort of air issue and I think of the little hole in the...

A According to David Heath anyway. The man seems to know his onions.

Supposedly important if you're adding fruit at the latter stages of fermentation
