@LarMoeCur , do you have any Yingyang to compare it too in Las Vegas? What does the PA Crew consist of? Looks like you lagered it about 1 month, from last post. Picture looks like a great clone.. only wish I could taste it. Cheers!

Sounds like you made an Eisbock ! Cheers! And, thanks for all the work you put into BrewPi Remix!

@EccentricDyslexic , this is what I got when I did an AI of your proposed system above - https://grok.com/share/c2hhcmQtMg%3D%3D_0be83d6d-889d-459d-855a-03e4007d2d34 scroll down the results page to see my question about FCS

My Lagers always seem to evaporate somehow from my Brite Tanks after about 4-5 weeks..... Not sure how you manage 10 weeks? I have recently had the best Lagers I ever made with Fermentis S-189, RO water with mineral additions to get what I want for a Pils or Helles. I will have to try Nova...

@EccentricDyslexic, @Thorrak , and @LBussy I asked my paid subscription to Grok - BrewPi and Fermentrack are mentioned here also ;) https://grok.com/share/c2hhcmQtMg%3D%3D_0e90d3fe-5518-4690-8db2-cbb28454f719

I see your point there, to put everything in one place. I do often need to go back to previous brews to see the temperature profile I used and it is not "quick enough" for me to have beersmith open and then go open up Fermentrack and find the logs.... I just got in the habit since 1994, to log...

@Bago-0 , I also use all 3 for years now and wondering why you would find the need to use a beer recipe software to plot graphs? Fermetrack and BrewPi remix, does that very well on their own. It's been a while since I sent my Tilt data to a Google Sheets, but it does also work. Sheets did have...

I use Fermentrack temperature/software control, here on HBT. I was using BrewPi Remix also here on HBT, but ran into some issues when running multiple fermentors ("Chambers") at the same time. Fermentrack is bulletproof. Also use Tiltbridge to log my Tilt hydrometers in the tanks. The slow...

@bailey mountain brewer ,The small additions came from beerandbrewing magazine Helles recipe. You will love the results with S-189 if you have great temperature control.

I live in Pennsylvania and Yingyang was a Cult beer, before hazy IPA came along. To me, it has too much of a caramel flavor finish. It is a good lager beer but the specialty grains are a bit too much for me to drink this beer all day, like a Czech or German lager.

As @Halfakneecap said, S-189 drops clean and brite on its own. I skipped gelatin recently and after 5 weeks lagering, its beautiful brite!

Exactly! @bailey mountain brewer . Slow drop down to , as cold as you can get it near 32F Try your best not to drink it before it is done lagering (4-6 weeks) at cold temperatures. I can only get to 41-42F in my walk in cooler and also my Ice Max-2 (39-41), so I try not to drink it till 5-6...

If a 65 year old Plumber can get the Fermentrack and Tiltbridge with Brewflasher, to work after a few stabs, then it can't be too complicated. Just follow the "Read Me" directions, and after a few beers later - You got a working brewery automation with graphs! It is wonderful, that we...

Did you ask @day_trippr, to use his Handle for your beer name? What Wheat malt did you use? I want to use unmalted wheat for my next weizen, but the long cereal mash needed and the time it takes... But then, I do not seem to be happy with the use of Flaked Wheat in the past, as I never hit my OG...

@ExpatPete, I have found the S-189 to drop brite faster than other lager yeasts, including 34/70 I also noticed a cleaner finished beer, since I do not filter any of my beers. I do send the beer from the Unitanks to Brite tanks, and the S-189 sparkles clear faster by at least 1 week...

The Process is the easy part..... Looking at a tank for 6 weeks with beer in it, and not drinking it, is the real cringe! Fermentrack, BrewPi Remix, and Tiltbridge, here on HBT makes the process soooooo smoooth!

@balrog I have brewed many Lagers, and would never NOT ferment without a Spund on the tank. There is no comparison, to the tight creamy head that fermenting under pressure gives you. I use a blowoff tube at first, just to visually confirm that fermentation has started, and my Tilt sitting in...

@Thorrak , Your last 2 posts, 3963/3966 explained everything about this Project (almost for me :rolleyes:) HBT is awesome that there are so many talented Bloggers that are willing to share, for free, their knowledge, to help the rest of us make great beer and such "things" related ! Thanks for...

@Thorrak NOW, that explains IT ! One last question - Why is the ESP32 a good bit more expensive than even 3 of the ESP8266 bundle on Amazon? ($19/esp32 and 3-esp8266/$14) Thanks for the full explanation - I just could not follow this thread and know what I was to do if I wanted to go with...

After reading this first post in 2016, and others, I get that we need an esp 8266, flash it with Brewflasher, and use our computer screen to see the Fermentrack2 in action? No need for Arduino and no need for a Raspberry Pi? Sorry, if these are dumb questions, but I am a bit confused here
