    Lager Fermentation woes

    It finally got down to 1.010 after about 13 Days. I ramped up the temp to 55 then 60 as it seemed to stop fermenting for a while and finished with a few days at 68. I am cold crashing right now. It tried a taste and it’s a little rough but we’ll see after it lagers for a while.

    Lager Fermentation woes

    Thanks. I actually turned the temp down on Saturday and it stalled my fermentation ! I have held steady at 1.030 The last two days However the beer in my hydrometer built up a good Krausen when I let it warm up and dropped 10 points in one day, so I turned the temp up to 58 to help it finish

    Lager Fermentation woes

    Just a quick update. I increased temp to 55 on day 4. I just checked the gravity on day 5 and looks like I am down 12 points in two+ days so clearly got fermentation going. Should I lower the temp back down to 50?

    Lager Fermentation woes

    I have about 10 brews under my belt, this is my first lager and my first issue with fermentation. I am pretty confident in my sanitation and temps. I oxygenated the wort using a oxygen tank. I followed the recipe for a pils from ballast point which said to use two packs of wpl800 but in...

    Lager Fermentation woes

    Thanks for all the replies. Do you think I should make a yeast starter and repitch or ramp up the temp or do both, I was following directions from ballast point that said to use two pitch packs and though That would have been enough but in using a calc seems like I may have been way short

    Lager Fermentation woes

    I am pretty sure it was good. I brought it home from the brew store and had it stored in the frig before taking it out and warm it up. Its use by date was July 2021. I pitched two packs instead of a starter I just checked and shows no movement from the OG do you think I should bump up the...

    Lager Fermentation woes

    I pitched 2 packs of WPL800 pils yeast that was at roughly 70 degrees into well aerated 58 wort which then cooled down to 51 degrees. after 3 days I have zero activity. No krausen or bubbles. Its my first Lager so maybe I need to RDWHAHB but wondering if I should be warming up the wort to...

    Mixed-Fermentation Sour Beer Really Easy Fruit Sour

    I just put my first sour in secondary. I am using two Corney kegs for secondary fermentation. I split the 5 gallons into two kegs. 1 with cherries and 1 with raspberries. i forgot to measure my fg when I transferred but it was no more that 1.012. I don’t have spunding valves so I release a...

    Hinges For a Heavy Keezer Top

    I am not sure of the design of your top and various clearances but these would probably be plenty strong and completely hidden. I would think your other options would be plenty strong as well.

    [Version 2 Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

    not sure if I am having the same problem but my system stops working after a while usually 24 hours plus. The temp gauge on the front page stops updating. The tx/rx lights on the uno don’t flash and when I click restart flow monitor it doesnt restart. There are no entries in the log. I end...

    [Version 2 Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

    Great. Saves me from returning a bunch of stuff. Is there a recommendation for what order the valve and flow meter are. Should I put the flow meter closest to the ball lock or the valve?

    [Version 2 Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

    i am planning to use beer tubing with an inside diameter of 4MM. To connect this to my valves i have 1/4" to 3/16 ' barb john Guest adapters that fit into the valves. Before I build all this, i was looking at the diameter of the 3/16" barb and its pretty small. Do you think this will create a...

    thats what I figured but wanted to double check I am not sure if my connections are causing errors in the data that is causing the 1wire code to throw an error. I rechecked them but will work on conecting the probe to female connectors that I Can connect directly to the PI to eliminate the...

    i am a serious NOOB when it comes to these electronics projects but learning fast. I'll keep it running and see what happens. maybe the 4k7 resistor was not making good contact in my breadboard and when I switched out it was installed more firmly. If it doesnt crash today, I'll put the 4k7...
