Hi, I try to use a Graviator for the first time. I could manage to make the initial setup and the calibration. Now I test it with a fake brew (only water). In the manual it is said that once the Wifi connection is established the WiFi icon in brewcreator's page turns solid white but nothing is...

I started a brew yesterday and I am a bit surprised to see that, according to my BrewBrain Float, gravity is increasing. As the fermentation seemed to be slow (listening to the airlock) I swirled the wort a bit (peak on the curve) and raised the temperature by one degree Celcius. The...

I would like to have an opinion on the Vienna lager recipe that I am going to try to brew. It is my first one. Is it on target? Since I don't brew very often, I try as much as possible to use the ingredients that I have rather than buying new ones and letting the others age in my garage. As a...

I am not very familiar with lager brewing but I am planning to brew a Vienna Lager soon. My question is about using the cold crash guardian. My brew is around 20 liters and my bladder is around 20 l. My fear is about the gaseous sulfur by-products. Since they will probably be stored with the CO2...

Hi. I want to try the whirlpool arm for Easybrew 30 On an other equipment. As it is fitted with a male cam lock, I would like to know what female counterpart I should use (diameter or reference). Thank you in advance.

This morning I made a mistake while cooling my beer. I first sanitized the cooler (counter flow) during 5 minutes). Then, not to let it on a dirty surface, I dipped the extremity of the pipe in a jug containing sodium percabonate (~4g/liter). I didn't think to close the valve, thus when I...

Generally I use bulk priming after the cold crash. I add the priming solution (boiled and cooled) and let the fermenter in the fridge at about 5°C (41 °F). I wait for one hour before getting the fermenter out of the fridge and beginning my bottling. My thinking is not to stir the beer in order...

It's the first time I encounter such a phenomenon. My beer is good but many foam-like particles sticks to the glass and the empty bottle too. What is this? Why does it occurs?

I plan to build an airlock with a CO2 trap in order to reabsorb the CO2 trapped during a cold crash. I have a clear idea how to do it. My question is: how much CO2 will be reabsorbed by the beer after fermentation during this cold crash? Let's assume we have 20 liters of beer in a 30 liter...

Reading A Homebrewing Perspective on Mash pH. Distilled-Water pH and Buffering Capacity of the grist published by Riffe and Spencer in 2018 I am surprised by the very large dispersion of the results, and above all, by the considerable distance taken by software like Brewer's Friend and...

Hi, I am trying to use the EZ water calculator that seems very easy to use. Nevertheless, there is one point I do not understand very well. It is the quantity of acid that is used to lower the alkalinity with Lactic acid 88%. Suppose I fix the mash water to 10 l. Filling the cell, J37, I can...

Hi, Three days ago, I pitched an IPA (20 liters at 1.058 SG) with a pack of US-05. Nothing happened during 27 hours, then the fermentation started (rather late based on what I am used to). Since the fermentation goes on at a steady slow speed (about 2 SG points / day according to my Float...

Hi everybody, P being the percentage of soluble extract mass vs total wort mass I read that there is a relationship between SG an P SG=((P /(258.6 -(P/258.2) * 227.1)) * 1000) or, expressed less accurately SG=259 /(259 -P) As the definition of specific gravity is density of wort / density of...
