It's fairly easy to make a decent full strength beer but making a good low ABV is a good challenge. I do my ales at about 1025 OG and get good feedback.

What is sold in Australia is, to my understanding: Golden syrup is originally a Scottish invention and is concentrated sugar cane juice taken mid boil. It is also inverted. Treacle as sold by CSR etc is sugar cane juice taken later in the boil and is not inverted. Molasses is the gunk left...

I have a better set of instructions but the PDF is too large to upload here. First, make sure you have set the input type. PT100 is 1000. Make sure it is PT100 and not another type of thermister. Others can be used but require a different type inputted. Then go to COD 0001. Set the number of...

I am happy with mine. I use a PT100 so I can see fractions of a degree. With a NTC, if it shows 66 deg, is it 66.1 or 66.9? If you have one with an electromechanical relay, just use that as a master relay to drive a higher current slave relay if you need it. No big deal. The actual model...

One tankard.

Try this manual. The link was posted earlier by someone else. style.oversubstance.net/wp-content/uploads/.../ManualREX-C100.pdf

Maybe you can't use a thermister with it. Do the instructions say you can or did the seller say you could? Don't know why everyone is so hung up on a PID type temperature controller. I bought one because it was the cheapest but I do not need to control my rest temperature to within 0.1 deg.

Try changing Lock to 000 and SL1 to 1000

Back towards the start of this thread is a link to a better set of instructions than that which came with yours. To my knowledge, you can only move the decimal when using a thermister and not with a thermocouple but I have not tried this.

Go in to menu and change SC to offset any inaccuracy of the sensor. Also, if I change to a thermister, I can have a higher resolution. The display may show 67 deg but is it 67 or 67.9? I have just been delaying experimenting as it would mean modifying my plumbing.

I use a thermocouple type sensor on my REX. I run a recirculating system. I have the sensor in the pipework. When I put another thermometer in the same pipework, I find the REX is out quite a bit. I have tried adjusting the offset and it seems okay for a while. Then next time I go to use it it...

Thanks. I'll check it out. My issue seemed to be if I adjusted one, I stuffed up another. The chemical choice seemed too small to someone inexperienced in water adjustment.

Moving up a step in my brewing and looking at water chemistry now. I have tried using EZwater. My water varies a lot so here are two reports based a few months apart. Ca:14 Mg:7 Na:19 Cl:38 So4: 5 CaCo3 53 Ca:28 Mg: 30 Na:67 Cl:142 So4: 25 CaCo3: 126 To brew...

I have a very basic question I could not find the answer to. As grains etc alter pH, how does the calculator know what the initial water pH was?

Also, the Mj/h rating is how much gas it consumes. Different types of burners are more or less efficient at actually transferring that heat to the pot due to an effect know as the barrier layer.

Wouldn't higher reg out pressure just increase the gas flow through the injector? Why not just increase the size of the injector and use a low pressure out reg?
