As Mardoo says, any type of non-iodised salt should be fine. I use kosher salt but any salt which has as few additives in it should be fine. You don't want anti caking agents or anything. Just plain old salt. That's why Mardoo's use of Murray salt is a banger of a suggestion as well. See...

Yeah I bought a cheap tablet running Android also. This way I can use it for Grainfather Connect and controlling the brewhouse Sonos :super: Seems to be running ok, just the odd drop out but nothing major. I have noticed also during cold crash that, as you mentioned Glomp, Can confirm this is...

Totally. I guess the raw numbers aren't as important as the trend. The Tilt website is, however, fairld confident I n the reading being accurate to a pretty high level. I have also noticed that in cold crashing, my tilts have been dropping their connectivity lots, like I had to restart the...

Thanks Michael, I hadn't thought of that. Perhaps when the krausen is high and the Tilt makes its way over to the side, the foam makes it hard for the Tilt to move or sit true. The Tilt website has this onnit regarding foam and CO2: Q. How is the Tilt affected by foam? A. There is no...

I ordered two of these a while ago and used them on the two brews I have in my two fermenter fridge. On the strength of what they do I have ordered one more for my fermentasaurus in my other fridge. I love the way I can track the progress of the fermentation using brewstat.us and how that allows...

I would love an update on this project! I have just read the thread from start to finish and I am ready to put down some cash money. One thought I had was, using the Tilt hydrometer, you can link it to BrewStat.us which allows you to upload a beer .xml file which then provides all the...

I have one of these and am quite impressed. I love that you can open the ferm fridge and get a great view of what stage your ferment is up to. Also, using the pressure kit I am convinced the ferment is quicker and cleaner tasting. I had a blonde ale in with 1272 american ale 2 and I swear it was...

I can totally relate to this issue. I am on the mid north coast of NSW and our tap water is rarely cold enough to get close to pitching temp. I have a Grainfather and it was always something that I grappled with. I tinkered and toiled and tried a few different ways to get the CFC to work via a...

Hey there, I recently bought one of these Oxebar jobbies and am fermenting a blonde ale in it now. I'll see if I can answer some of your questions... I hope that helps. It's a pretty awesome bit of gear actually. Bulky though. Make sure your fermentation has the space to accommodate it. Keg...

Well happy new year to you all. Thanks for the kind comments. The Icemaster G40 is pretty quiet. Not as quiet as a fridge but quieter than one on of those old window A/C units. I don't hear it because it's under the house. I toyed with the idea of getting a s/s insert for the recess to sit...

Ok, So let me get something straight here. I am one of those long time lurkers and this is my first post but it is one that I felt I need to share because I have garnered so much from this community in the way of help, ideas and inspiration even despite the fact I have never actively asked for...
