I can say with very high confidence that your problem is the time lag between the Fridge Setting and Fridge Temp. That lag leads to an instability in the system. As others have already said, the fridge/chamber temp needs to be decoupled from the chamber wall. Also notice how the lag on the...

Shame on you, soccerdad. We don't need Pats fans in GA. :p No Eugene Robinson this time. Underdogs show the world. Falcons 67

You're absolutely right. I shouldn't have made such a definitive statement. There are many ways to achive the same end result. While what you describe could be accurately described as sparging, I believe your "definition" is too restrictive. Wikibrew (certainly not the gospel) states "All...

Have you confirmed the output is at 180 rpm? If Williams is selling the exact motor shown in the picture, it's probably not. The picture shows the motor rpm is 1350 at 50 Hz, and the reducer model is 5KB-7.5, which I assume means the reducer ratio is 7.5. 1350/7.5 = 180 rpm @ 50 Hz, not 60 Hz...

webstaurantstore also puts it on sale about every 4-6 weeks for $10 off; just get on their email list for a little while. I have done 2 brews with my 20G Spike kettle on the IC3500. 1st was outside at ~50F with ~16G water at beginning of boil; had to partially cover pot to maintain boil, though...

I'll reiterate/reinforce what several others have already said. 1+2. If you're going to BIAB, then do it right (IMO), which is full volume. The uninformed refer to it as no-sparge, but the sparge water volume is in the total water volume for the full mash; there is no need to add water in...

I agree. Regardless of how much trub there is, that's the solution. That's a healthy amount of trub, but it looks very "white", like just healthy yeast. I wouldn't complain and just rack off the top of it.

I'd like to use this for dry-hopping with a keg, but would like to use pellet as well as whole leaf hops. Would it be possible to add a 2nd filter disc with 500 micron or other mesh finer than currently provided for this application? I'm envisioning a disc with a cutout for the inlet tube that...

Just got one of these Inkbird ITC-106VHs and plan to build a small standalone controller for a hotrod heatstick for setting strike temp or maybe controlling mash. Can either of you (or anyone else) reference a link to a manual that should be applicable (or mostly correct)? I'm sure I can...

And yet again $10 off 12/5-12/7 with coupon code DECSALE.

I ordered this on 11/15 and it still hasn't shipped, even though original delivery date was identified as 11/22, then moved to 11/30. Website has always shown as available and in stock on Amazon. Your response to me was, Sorry for the inconvenience caused for you. I found your order was...

just pulling the power. What's the proper shutdown procedure, and where is this defined?

The last few days, I noticed something odd about my web display. Both the Refresh Chart & Help buttons were blank w/o the inside symbols, and the radio buttons wouldn't work. However, I could refresh the page to update the display, so I didn't worry about it. Then last night I wanted to...

Is your intent to punish the AHA for accepting Northern Brewer and Midwest as sponsors? If not, then why punish the organization that helps us all? Just don't patronize NB or visit their booth.

Brewpi allows multiple probes, with at least beer and fridge temps. It can be configured for remote viewing (although I'm not sure about remote adjustment). You can buy from Brewpi or build yourself with info from many threads here, but primarily this one.

terse: sparing in the use of words; abrupt. synonyms: brief, short, to the point, concise I assume you meant "slow" or low-speed, since that's what is important wrt bandwidth. My expectation is that conversion is completed long before 90 minutes. However, the reason one uses a long mash for...

Your starting water profile is extremely low mineral level, plus I'm surprised to see ppm to such precision. Are you sure you have the units right? I have almost Pilsen water and the levels are much higher than that. Regardless, with BIAB (high qt/lb) and a simple base malt bill, your pH will...

IC3500 is $10 off from Webstaurant Store 11/3-11/5 with coupon code AVANTRANGE

I know it's not trivial to learn to use, but you really ought to spend the time trying to to learn how to use the BIABacus, as others have suggested. As MadScientist posted, you'll get all the help you need over at the http://www.biabrewer.info/ forums. It's easiest to figure out by looking at...

Display the fridge temp. I expect the ripple in the fridge temp is just showing up in the room temp probe. How isolated is the room from the fridge? If the room temp is measured near the outside of the fridge, then the external heating from running the condenser will modulate the room temp.
