What do pro breweries do? They don't use hop bags. Leaving the hops to settle out in the fermentor will have no effect on your finished product in my experience. I noticed a distinct difference in utilization after buying and using one of those SS hop baskets which are similar to the bags...

Sounds like its time for you to join a club.

I also still need to recirc to get even temps but I dont think that has anything to do with the probe itself. I've found both the short and long versions to be very accurate when tested against a thermapen outside of the kettle.

Looking good. I have almost the exact same build planned. My space is 10'x10' and all I have is one wall so far but I've acquired all the needed materials. Just need to find some time. Ill post my build when I get some actual work done. What all are you planning on cramming in the space...

Here's my go to Milk stout recipe: 7 lbs Pale Malt (2 Row) US 1 lbs Roasted Barley 12.0 oz Caramel/Crystal Malt - 60L 12.0 oz Chocolate Malt 12.0 oz Munich Malt 10.0 oz Barley, Flaked 8.0 oz Oats, Flaked 0.50 oz Nugget [13.00 %] - Boil 60.0 min 1.00 oz Goldings, East Kent [5.00 %] - Boil...

Show off! Looks sweet.

I would tend to agree that getting flow meters working on the tablet would be tough. Theoretically you could connect to the RPI from the android tablet via Bluetooth like here http://blog.davidvassallo.me/2014/05/11/android-linux-raspberry-pi-bluetooth-communication/. This isn't something...

After struggling with the bev flex tubing for what seems like weeks, I am ready to get the damn John Guest fittings. However, I have an issue. My shanks have a barb built in to them... There is no fitting from what I could tell to go from a barb to john guest fitting. Do I have any options...

Not sure if anyone else has done this and I'm not going to read through 159 pages to find out. I did some initial research about running Raspberry Pints on my android tablet which lead me to the tutorial on the pints website explaining how to setup a web server on a local PC and then have the...

Sorry I haven't responded here yet. I ended up going with a thin wall PVC pipe that I pushed through the cooler walls. Fit the 1/4" I.D. line perfectly. Ill take some pics if i get some time.

I use WLP099 but what i do is overbuild my starter by 100 billion. Then, I'll pour off some of that starter to use next time. Has worked well for me. I would think that since this yeast can handle higher ABV it might be safer to re-use than some others but I still don't know that I'd...

I am assembling all the pieces to build a jockey box and I am struggling with how I want to have the beer lines exit the box and get attached to the keg. I want some way to easily disconnect the jockey box from the keg but don't want to spend a fortune doing it. The most common thing I've seen...

Damn I really needed 2 for a jockey box myself. If it falls through I definitely will take them. Unless @b-boy wants to part with 2 :)

The thing I think you are missing is that I am doing a hop stand for nearly an hour after that 5 minute addition where my temps never go below 170. At those temps there will still be some isomerization (i usually estimate 20% of normal) so the 5 minute addition is not the only thing...

I don't know what it is (I was high) but the Heineken in Amsterdam at the brewery tasted amazing. I drank a lot of Heineken while there and it tastes SO much different than what we get here.

I have not had any issues with them and I've been using them exclusively for at least 3 years now. Glad I ditched my glass carboys before I had the inevitable accident. As for cleaning I soak mine in a PBW solution over night, dump and rinse. That's about it.

I think you're confusing craft brewing with the German beer purity laws.
