I reckon MXD probably drinks just a little bit too much on brewdays :D

Oh man.... biggest stuff up ever. Didn't push down my quick connect far enough on the gas in line to a keg, but apparently far enough to pinch the valve open. A whole new 6kg bottle of CO2 vented straight out... and because all other kegs are manifolded (check valve at the regulator) all my...

No problem :D

I'd say there are a couple of factors to the difference in taste... more oxidation in the bottling process bottling, additional yeast growth phase (albeit tiny), conditioning at higher temperature than kegging, to name a few. The keg conditions over time at cold temps, while the bottle goes...

Looks good. Hope you dont ever get an air bubble in there though, otherwise your temp probe will just be measuring the temp of a bubble! Best practice is to put the temp probe on the bottom, not top of a tee.

Can you just jack up the CO2 pressure temporarily to get a bit more driving force and then open your serving tap? Might just need a bit more dP before it blows the crap through.

FWIW, I use Lael's Brauduino on my HERMS and it is fantastic.

Do you find the insulated pipes give you a noticeable benefit with respect to temps? I would think that the stainless steel pots would lose much more heat that the silicon pipes.

PS - stealing this idea

Where the hell did you get an OBI bucket from!?

Unofficial route required Wort! 7ths

Finally, after fixing up a short-circuited element and getting back onto electric brewing from a temporary gas set-up, I plugged in the Brauduino to my 3V system. Had 0.5°C overshoot at each step (which I'll adjust for next brew) however I had a whopping 81% efficiency. That's a huge jump from...

Sweet, yes. PM me his details please! Thanks

Pano, just wait a while longer. If not much yeast passed into each bottle during filling, then it'll take more time to bottle condition.

I'm not sure punctuation can save that sentence.

Carine, Perth.

I know... My 2nd year cascade has a total of 7 flowers. It's a dud year for me over here.... :(

Still on track for this date Matty? I'm heading down to Albany end of Feb.

Yeah. It's not brewing though is it..

I anyone here (in Perth, NOR pref) a sparky? Or have a guy they use in Perth? Want to get my 2.4kW element wired up properly and don't want to pay ridiculous.
