    Computer on the fritz

    It looks like maybe a power supply problem. Just seems like the shutdowns are random, not like a specific step in the OS startup. Could be anything though.

    STC-100 Therometer

    I ask what is classed as accurate for us, is within 0.5 c to a all mighty thermapen good enough? I have frustrated myself too much in the past trying to test and decide if my thermometers were accurate. I think a thermapen is all that's left for me to test, but I aint, I have tested enough ( 5...

    STC-100 Therometer

    I believe it will be a great stand alone thermometer. I check mine against my CDN and my javelin instant reads and while no two thermometers read exactly the same all three are within a 0.5 degree band and that's not adjusting the STC.

    Does dry hopping add bitterness?

    https://byo.com/stories/issue/item/1762-hop-polyphenols-advanced-brewing This article may help. I as well can vouch for the extra perceived bitterness from dry hopping.

    12v heating element to help boil

    Just checked my current draw and circuit breakers, draws 18 amps and have 20amp breakers. It does seem that the 2.5mm cable we have running through our house is rated for 20amps only. I must apologize for giving bad advice, I am getting away with it but I think from a safety point of view, I...

    12v heating element to help boil

    I would think you have more than 10 amps to play with, I would have to check my switches but pretty sure they are rated for at least 20amps. Each connection for a gpo is 10amp, I use a double gpo with two 2200w Keg King elements and no issues on that circuit, what your pump uses will be the...

    calculating efficiency BIAB question

    I use that wort app, the efficiency figure is for post boil volume, not what gets to the fermenter or pre boil. You probably know that anyway, something seems strange with your Gravity readings.

    Late hop addition or steeping solution to fermenter only for aroma?

    I'll ad my 2c, I had two of the same brews in the fermenter, I do triple batch all grain brews. Anyway dry hopped one with Centennial and one with Columbus. The Columbus one has a dirt taste to it and not enjoyable at all, centennial one is as normal. 100g of hops into 20l, may not add any...

    Brew in a Basket - 82L pot with 56L malt pipe

    That's the exact one, it was cheaper than the lhbs ones and I could not get the ebay one in that size. You should just get the ebay one, it's that cheap it doesn't matter if it has issues . It ain't going to leak, that's all that matters.

    Brew in a Basket - 82L pot with 56L malt pipe

    I have the 56l ebay pot as my malt pipe and it is very thin, that's not to say it won't hold together fine. My big pot is from living styles and it is way thicker, wasn't much fun drilling the holes, food for thought if you want something still cheap but not really cheap.

    Double BIAB or 3v Systems

    I do big batches, last one was 52L into cubes at 1.054 with 12.5 kg marris otter. I lose around 7 litres each brew. I use a 88 litre pot and a 56 litre pot as a malt pipe, two keg king 2200w elements and a block and tackle to hoist the spent grain. I got the 88l pot from living styles and the...
