temperature

Hello everyone! I am doing my first batch this Saturday and I feel ready. I have read and re-read my directions. I have reached out to buddies who are home brewers and received some advice. I just want to use this forum to field advice or tips. I have just one question for now: How much wiggle...

I am considering stainless steel conicals for common homebrewing sizes, say in the 5-20 gal range; some use immersion cooling coils (like Ss Brewtech and Spike Brewing) and some are jacketed (like Glacier, Stout, and Brewers Hardware). At these sizes, what are the differences? Besides price...

I have been looking for a good kombucha heater. I ordered two from Amazon. They sort of work. They have temperature settings from low to high. The heater does not "know" how warm the vessel is. You have to watch a temp sticker on the vessel to make sure you have the heater setting close...

Hey all, I have some questions regarding the fermentation process. I recently bought a starter kit with two 30liter buckets, along with a very easy kit from BrewFerm. The 12 liters of what will hopefully become a good English IPA are now sitting in the corner of my room, but a yeasty/sour smell...

Since I'm going to be releasing a new version of the firmware here imminently, I wanted to poll everyone on how often they seem to be getting the screen scrambles. Our own resident EE @day_trippr seems to have ruled out pretty much everything but shag carpeting and sunspots. It's apparently...

Hello all I'm new to Homebrew and need some help and not sure where to ask my question. I was searching on the web to find out how to make the adjustment to the thermostat on my Nostaigia KRS2100. As it has been running for 4 days with a 1/4 keg and the temperature only gets in the low 40's...

Hi HBT! I am quite interested in trying out kveik yeast. It seems to be all the rage. I've read that you should ferment them warm (18 C and up to 39 C or so). My question is this: Normally we want to keep the temperature of the fermentation vessel down - for this I have a temperature controlled...

Hi all, I wonder if someone can help me with my new Inkbird ITC-100VH temperature controller, which I am using to control the temperature in a small toaster oven. This seems to be a PI controller, as there I can't see a "D" setting in the instruction manual. There is a setting for "hysteresis...

Hi HBT. I brewed a stout yesterday and everything was going great. I warmed my strike water to 68C and started doughing in. around 1/3 of the way through the malt, I realized that my temperature should have been higher (76C to be exact). So i turned up the heat and within 4-5 minutes I was at...

im looking for some tri-clamp style fittings. looking for a temp gauge preferably adjustable, ball valve, and just any one with this style let me know what you got and i might be interested. also any 1/2" npt quick connect fittings. putting together new brew system, just bought 30 gallon kettles...

When I started brewing, I was pretty confused regarding all the different mashing schedules I found in different recipes regarding time, steps and temperatures. In the process of learning more, I ended up trying to make a framework where one can compare different mashing schedules against an...

(Photos of primary fermentation 6 hours after yeast awakening attempt) Hey guys. New-ish to the hobby and about to keg a 5 gal batch for the first time. The beer I’m going to keg is an imperial ipa extract kit using two Omega West Coast Ale II Yeast Slurry packs from NB. I did not use a yeast...

I put mine in the basement because it's dark and a consistent cool temp (summer it might get up to 65, right now it's about 60-61 F). But I've also read that the fermentation process itself is exothermic so the carboy is going to be warmer than the air around it, so cooler might be better no...

Back in February I decided to pre-order the Pico Z, and along with doing so I had to get all the necessary equipment to properly Ferment and Dispense the magnificent beers that the machine would be able to make. After looking at many Chest Freezers and Kegerators the wife and I got to talking...

Hi everyone, Brewing my first batch of cider. Fermenting 2, 5-gallon batches of cider. Primary ferment has been going for just over 2 weeks and has slowed down. I'm planning to rack the cider into carboys for a secondary ferment. Before racking I'm planning to place to buckets in an out...

I have transitioned from extract to biab AG, and I use a gas kitchen stove for the heating process....curious what similar fellas do about the time you spend getting to the next target temp in a multi-rest mashing process? Do you count it as time spent at the previous temp rest, the next rest...

So I've made a batch when the temps were supposed to drop to around 20 degrees celsius for like 10 days and ofcourse after 2 days the outside temperature is 29 degrees and my fermenting beer is swinging from 21 degrees up to 27-28, what does this mean for my beer? Should I even bottle it or is...

So after coming across this thread: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/forum/threads/us-05-at-75-degrees.247994/ it sounds like I don't have to tie up the space in the chest freezer I use as a fermenting chamber (at 62-65F) after the first 72 hours or so of a brew whereupon I can move it out of the...

Hi Everyone, I live in Singapore. Over there the ambient temperature is fairly constant at around 27deg C. I am currently finishing to brew a Californian Pale Ale (It was a close of Sierra Nevada pale ale, using Whitelab yeast). My fermentation temperature has been 22deg C. Also I am not very...
