    First BIAB (first all grain) Schwarzbier. Tons of questions (RO water, hops ...)

    Thanks, I actually trust the hydrometer (it is within a point), I've used it for a couple years (wine making) and it measures distilled water correctly. My Refractometer is accurate, but is actually for measuring DEF fluid, so it's a bit of a crap shoot. I plan on getting one that is marked...

    It is for 5.25 into fermenter. I have a 15g spike kettle. Thanks all for input, I just installed the 21 day trial of beersmith. I'll likely buy it after I play with it a bit. AJ

    Inkbird IPB-16 PID Controller Inquiry

    Metzen, did you ever figure out why yours oscillates? I just received one and it does exactly the same thing. 2F swing up and down, randomly every second or so. I wonder if you returned yours and I got it :eek: Thanks, AJ
