I was able to flash my board and it detects my Tilt no problem. The issue that I can't figure out is how to get it to log to Brewfather. I added my Tilt device to my current batch, added the Brewfather API to the titlbridge via the web settings, and started a new log in the Tilt app and now it's...

Thanks for all of the thoughts and suggestions. I did a full system check using soapy water starting from the CO2 tank/regulator connection and worked on down to the keg itself. There were no obvious leaks that I could find (or hear). Instead, I read in another thread that a user seats their keg...

Thank you both, I'll go this route and reassess.

I have a 3 gallon keg with about 2 gallons of ale that loses pressure throughout the week and I'm at a loss about what to do. I turn off my CO2 tank and disconnect the gas line on Sunday night so that I don't drink during the week but when I reconnect it and turn the pressure back on Friday...

HB west-coast style DIPA "Acacia" named as an acronym of the hops I used: azacca, comet, amarillo, cascade, Idaho 7, and ahtanum. At 8% abv, it's got a floral nose, dank resin bitterness on first taste, and finishes with stone fruit and berries. It got more bitter and piney as it aged in the keg...

HB dubbel, 8% abv. Aged in serving keg in the cellar for 5 months.

I love Notty, it's my house ale yeast and I've brewed almost every ale batch over the last 3 years with it. I got some clearance yeast packs that I was curious about but I've come to realize that Notty meets all my needs so I'm going to stick with it (and occasionally S04) going forward!

Thank you for the ideas, I like the idea of flaked barley and might do that next time (and lose the victory malt). My pH was a measured value, I chilled a wort sample from the mash down to ~100F and then used a pH meter with ATC to get both measurements pre- and post-lactic acid.

I have a partial-mash oatmeal stout on tap that I brewed a month ago and while it has some nice roasty notes and big thick head retention, the body is overall fairly thin. Looking at my recipe and brew notes, is there anything that stands out? My mash pH was measured as 5.46 but I have in my...

My favorite commercial Belgians are consistently from Unibroue, I always love to pick up their mix pack around this time of year. As far as homebrewing goes, I've brewed a Saison and a Bière de Garde but my results didn't come close to my favorite commercial examples (I used Belle Saison yeast...

I had this happen when fermenting a DIPA in a corny keg last week while adding my first dry hop charge. FYI I added a third of my dry hops in the first addition at high krausen and I already had fermcap in the wort. Not only did I lose my o-ring due to carelessness, but my hop addition caused my...

This makes perfect sense, thank you. I'll try this next time!

Hi all, I came across this video () and since I typically ferment in cornies, I decided to try a closed loop transfer into a sanitized serving keg when my next brew was ready. I was ready to transfer a completed beer two nights ago and I set everything up exactly as described in the video. When...

HB oatmeal stout

Thanks for the detailed breakdown. I didn't include details about my process since I was primarily concerned about the viability of the Roesalare pack, but I essentially did what you described. I mashed at 160°F and fermented with a pack of WLP518 (would have used S-04 or Nottingham normally but...

Sorry to revive a resolved thread but just thought I'd share a day 30 update. I pitched the smack pack of 3763 and decided to wait and see what would happen. The fermenter has been in my cool, dark basement but I checked it last night and there's a pellicle forming! I took a small gravity sample...

This is reassuring. I figured the roasty and chocolatey notes would hide some oxidation issues. If it was an APA or an IPA it would probably be a dumper but I'm willing to give this one a chance!

I didn't even consider natural carbing, I was too frazzled -_- Already gone so we'll see what happens! Great idea with the paintball canister and adapter to spare my big tank.

Hi all, not really a question I just need somewhere to vent because my wife doesn't care or understand. I brewed an oatmeal stout () last weekend and had a perfect brew day where nothing went wrong (I should have seen this as a red flag!). I ferment in a corny keg and use a floating dip tube to...

I ferment 2.75 gallon batches in 3 gallon cornies. Fermcap is a must and I've never had any issues. They fit so much better in my fridge and I don't have to worry about suck-back when I cold crash. I usually use a floating dip tube with a filter basket and then transfer into a sanitized empty...
