    iSpindel Digital Hydrometer

    yeah i ordered the pros and antennae the other day, hoping it all works out. Worst case is i can give the finished products to a friend if i do not get reception inside the fermenters.

    iSpindel Digital Hydrometer

    I am interested in this too, as i ferment in pressurised conicals. I think the other part to think about is whether you can get wifi inside your stainless fermenter too, as it would act similar to a Faraday cage? I also think a concern is if external pressure is applied liquid may slowly force...

    Conical Fermenter - Anyone use one?

    i have had 2 50l conicals for about 2.5 years now. Absolutely love them, i don't use them to their full potential for yeast harvesting etc but i do dump the trub usually around day 2-3 and the yeast just after cold crashing. For myself the added bonus is my fementers are pressurisable so my...

    Best equipment purchases

    i dont know about the 3l but i have a 5l and because the bottom is curved i cant put the stir bar smack in the middle. i do find it works quite well 3-5cm off centre and still has a nice vortex. Either that Coodgee or you may need bigger magnets

    RO water and harsh bitterness

    RO Water even if it has a high ph (usually ~8 from memory) has little to no buffering capability so your grain etc will be able to drop it down with ease. CaCl2 and CaS04 you need for the the free calcium ions which help in the mashing and yeast health etc. If its just RO water drinking it is...

    Cube maintenance and lifespan

    i use my sprinkler head cip thingo i made, clean 1 50l fermenter, 2-3 kegs, 2 cubes with about 10l of fluid. Depends on my mood i will either use pbw, napisan + tsp. Both turn out brilliantly. The cip is usually at ~90c as once up to temp thats as slow as my nasa burner can go without being...
