The Rochefort brewing sheet mentions "Cassonade" . It is brown sugar. Why was it translated as "Candi Syrup, Inc. Brun Fonce " in the Realfort 6/8/10 ?

I brew with extract about 10% of the time . I use Briess CBW® Pilsen Light . I came to the personal conclusion that fresh LME tastes better than the equivalent DME. I uses DME for making yeast starters, it is less messy and it is easier to weight the exact amount. If well packed it won't...

Thank you for posting all those info. Rochefort is my favorite beer.

I might sound like an idiot, but then why is there a reset pushbutton on the arduino board if the sketch restarts automatically after a power failure ?

This is a general question, not one about a specific project. Most of the microcontroller boards ( Arduino, nodemcu, esp32 etc ... ) have a reset button. After a power failure the reset button must be manually pressed in order to restart the sketch. Question: is there any way ( connect an...

Some small progress: 1) The Tilt transmit the data ( via Bluetooth BLE) to the ESP32-1 The sketch requires 85% of the ESP32-1 memory, just to acquire the Tilt data. 2) the ESP32-1 transmits the Tilt data ( via Hardware serial ) to the ESP32-2 3) The ESP32-2 transmits the Tilt data ( via Wifi...

Do what most of us are doing: take the spring and the ball off the valve.

Good suggestions. Now I remember where I saw the warning about slicing and not stirring the grain bed in case of stuck sparge: "BE VERY CAREFUL not to twist the basket while the basket is in the sparge position which could knock it off the support ring. If the sparge is “stuck” (not draining)...

Question about stuck sparge: I don't remember where I saw that in case of a stuck sparge the grainbed should not be stirred but sliced. What kind of tool should be used for slicing the grain bed ?

That makes sense but I'm willing to unplug my 220 Volts electric stove and plug a 220 Volts grainfather.

Watt's law, exactly. Worse, the heat dissipated in an electrical component is proportional to the square value of the current. So if the current double, the heat generated will be multiplied by 4 . The whole chain must be adjusted for the higher current.: the controller, the receptacle, the...

This is the email I sent toUL Canada, I'm very curious to see what they'll reply, Hello, I am Jacques from Montreal. I contact you about the homebrewing equipment named "Grainfather". It was developed in New Zealand. The model is sold in New Zealand, Australia, Europe and south America...

The way I understand it ( and I might be wrong ) is because for whatever reason UL didn't approve the 220V model for the US

verboten: It must be frustrating when nothing works. What did you try that failed ?

myndflyte : You are correct. 1)Fermentrack " Additionally, a Bluetooth receiver is required for Tilt Hydrometer support. " 2) TiltBridge "The only component required for a TiltBridge is an ESP32-based board " I"m a ( retired ) electronic technician so I needed some challenge...

I just completed a "sketch" to program an ESP32 microcontroller using the Arduino IDE ( integrated development environment ) . The Tilt acts as a BLE ( bluetooth low energy ) ibeacon ) . The ESP32 starts a scan and if the Tilt is detected the ESP32 acquires the Gravity and Temperature. The...

A few months ago I was in a hurry and brewed a tripel using malt extract, steeped aromatic malt, homemade clear candi syrup and cane sugar. It was fermented with Lallemand abbaye yeast. I was pleased with the result. I prefer liquid yeast ( I have slants of of wyeast that I reculture every 3...

Last week I removed the activated carbon filter of my kitchen because it was leaking. So I treated the brewing water by adding literally 1 pinch of potassium met .And I discovered the Low Oxygen Brewing website.

My favorite recipe is the black scapular dubbel from Jamil Zainhassef's book . Strangely enough the dark strong recipe doesn't include any candi syrup. Is there any trappist brewery producing dubbel or dark strong without any candi syrup ?

Now I live in Canada,. It is difficult to buy imported Trappist beers here in Quebec because the liquor stores are a monopoly government owned so you'll find on the shelves what they decide to sell , not what you would like to drink. On the other hand one brewery producing some of the best...
