Hi, My both batches ended up extremely low FG atleast what my rapt pills shows remotely. 1.000 and 1.003. Not yet tested with hydrometer. I think i know what caused this. While mashing I did 35min at 63°C and 25min at 70°C. (according to my kettle) While In alpha pause at second batch I...

How would u guys suggest I do the diacetyl rest? Is it too slow if i pump the temperature +2°C a day until im In +18°C?

That could be interesting. I have two heaters In each compartment 45W+17W and they are all controlled via the same thermostat. I suppose I could unplug the 17W thermostat on the other compartment and make the pill In the other compartment "Master". By this I mean that the rapt pill which is In...

Here are both buckets timeline. Blue is temperature, Red is SG and yellow is ABV%. Nice to see that they both go quite hand In hand even though are In two different compartments of the fridge. Both have same wattage of heat sources also. SG has differed 0.001-0.002. So far they seem to act kind...

I have a rapt pill inside the bucket. The thermostat uses the pills temperature so its temp inside it. I have set cooling and heating hysteresis to 1°C so it hovers between 11-13°C.

Thanks for the replies! Sticking to the plan it is! 8)

Hi, I have two buckets with identical recipe and the only exception is yeast. On one I have safale s23 and the other is safale w34/70. The Set temperature In my fridge is 12°C and after 24h they have allready dropped from 1.046 to 1.038!?!? Is this normal? Should I drop the temperature a bit...

Im starting to think its the refractometer what is off. Have to check and possibly calibrate it. According the rapt pills it seems OG is 1.046 quite the same In both buckets. So the target FG should be 1.008 for 5% ABV. So diacetyl rest starting at 1.015 (80% attenuation) and I read that 2-3°C...

Maybe some day I will. It would be easier for me to get a touch of a good tasting commercial Ale for a point of reference.

Thanks for all the replies! If im not happy on behalf of clarity I propably use gelatin. I allready purchased irish moss so i think i will give it a try next time and put whirlfloc on wishlist when ordering next ingredients. I did two batches of wort with the same recipe. I made a rookie mistake...

Ok thanks for CLARIFYING this :D. The thing is I dont like or haven't yet tasted a good Ale. Their usually too hoppy for my taste. Not afraid to dive In to the deep end. If it comes out as a disaster then no harm done. Its only wasted time :D.

Hi, Today is my first brewday ever and im doing lager from Viking pilsner malt. I was hoping that the post could send my irish moss in time for this day but it didnt. Am I makeing a mistake by doing the brew without it? Im hoping that a 7-11wks of lagering (not yet fully decided the length of...

Wow! Thats quite nice. I always like it when someone makes it a bit nerdy :D. Dont get me wrong, thats not an insult. We used to program our old DIY boat with rasberry Pi. We had it hooked up to a computer so we could steer and throttle it remotely over the internet. Steering was via...

It really isn't that much work and its allready almost done :D. I'm much more comfortable working with metal than wood. I needed some "head space" on the freezer for what you just described so the collar needed to be 280mm high (thats around 11"). This gives me 180mm (about 7") "head space" for...

BTW! I'm interested to hear what do you have connected to that D25 connector what shows In the pictures?
