    STC-1000 jumping temperature

    I have had many issues with Stc1000's. I have purchased 5 or more over in the last 4 years . Temperature readings all over the place and not turning on at a set range. I like the idea of wiring a mechanical rely to handle to load side. The stc1000 is only the switch. I have moved on to retail...

    Brewing Mesopotamian Beer, from 4,000 years ago

    Great content. Cheer Feldon. It is amazing what derived and flourished from the crucible of mankind. Greeks and Romans, truly amazing what influence they added to this region I do enjoy Iranian Dates, and who doesn't enjoy beer. I need to look at the gravity of Dates as an adjunct. No...

    Things can only get better....right?

    G'day Tommy-Gun I use the fermentasaurus Snub Nose Version 1. Pressure fermenting is great . So easy to clean as not so many parts. The pick up tube I don't weigh down. When it is finished fermenting, I crash chill and blow Co2 thru the tube to clean out any trub. After the crash chilling...

    Rookie Wannabe

    I have been using one of these heaters in the fermenter fridge. 100W 12V DC PTC Fan Heater bought of ebay. I wired up to an old computer power supply (230volt step down to 12volt) and plug it into the temp controller. You only pass two wires into the fridge past the seal on the door. No...

    HELP! new roof leaking

    If done correctly it is more weatherproof than tiles or colorbond sheets. What looks good can be better. Just don't get cowboys, plenty out there.

    HELP! new roof leaking

    Not a main stream type of roofing but bitumen / asphalt shingles are being used. Town houses that are looking for a different vibe are getting on board. If done right the ascetics are fantastic.

    Pilsner brew time advice needed

    I started with tins and the yeast supplied with them. I moved on to better yeast strains from the local brew store and the beers got better. Then tried wort kits and quality yeast. Beers got really good. I have been all grain brewing for 12 or more years. If you are bottling, put them...

    HELP! new roof leaking

    Caulking is for gutters, not for roofs. Water will move or run along caulking and find a new way to get in. Steps for shingles. New sheathing plywood on roof. Or repair missing , rotted boards. Then tape all the joints. Membrane sheathing rolled out and secured to waterproof entire roof...

    Pilsner brew time advice needed

    Hi Jazzman Sounds like your plan will work , temps to ferment are good. Only need a day or two to finish at a higer temp. It depends on what yeast is used, as to how long it needs to clean up after ferment. 10 days @ 11 deg c for me under 5 psi pressure, 2 days @16 deg c and then crash chill...

    Over thinking it?

    Just put one way beer line valves. If you have constant pressure in the tanks that should overcome the thermal pressure change.

    Perth water chemistry

    I would still brew while waiting on an answer. If you start with a Campden tablet this will help strip your water of what is cleaning it. I brewed a few AG beers before attempting to adjust my water, Melbourne water is low on minerals. Ca will help, Mg dont worry to much, Na salt yeh...

    G'day

    Temp control is a big player to get the most out of certain strains of yeast. Controlling temps can be simple, tray of water with a towel draped over or wrapped around and into the water to evaporate. Glycol chilling. I use a fridge with a temperature controller one uses an Inkbird and the...
