Thanks everyone for the advice ... vacuum sealer on the shopping list. I see one at K-Mart for $59 any thoughts on it's suitability?

Mainly because tight for space in my new place and the freezer space is unused.

Just curious if there is a down-side to storing un-milled grain in containers in a freezer. If it makes a difference I am thinking primarily specialty grains. I am assuming they need to defrost prior to milling, any other gotcha's?

Thanks for that. Looks like I'll just use the fridge. I've set some temp probes up and simulated a ferment for a couple of days and the freezer section goes way warm above zero during the fridge cycle off.

Hi all, firstly apologies if this is already covered somewhere - I did a search and couldn't find precisely what I was after so here is a new thread. I have an upright Fridge/Freezer (Westinghouse Model BJ514V-R if that helps) that I would like to use the Fridge section for fermenting (using my...

Please add me in the mix, thanks!

yep thanks WEAL took the "got nothing to lose" approach and vice gripped it to death and got it apart. Now planning a Bunnings trip for the adaptor. Thanks for the help.

Any tips on removing the part circled below? I've tried everything and can't get it to undo. In fact, I've probably bent something trying as you can see the old relief spring thing is undone but it won't come out and won't go back in now. Is it a LH thread being a gas fitting? Any help...

yes pls!

Just realised that after (too many to count) years in this forum I have no idea how to PM :)

If anyone is following this (doubtful as no one has replied) I got some info from the Tilt guys that allowed me to progress to a completed craftbeerpi3 plugin available at https://github.com/mowbraym/brewstatus - it contains the structure for the API.
