    yeasts ain't yeasts .....

    A workmate brews. He makes weird, funky beers including super high alcohol content ginger beers. IMO most taste like shit. His partner has some sort of doctorate in something to do with biology. She has told him the yeast is yeast, so he uses the yeast from bread packs in his beer. I told...

    "the Old Chestnut" Where To Stick Your Probe. .. And Other N

    I happen to have an interest in control systems and temperature measurement, so I've gone the extra mile in measuring fermenter temperatures. A ferment that "takes off" produces a lot of heat. If any of your beer-master know how I can calculate exactly how much I'd like to know. I ferment 3...

    Keeping More Than One Fermenter At The correct Temperature.

    I usually ferment three batches together in my fermenting fridge. My problem is, when the three fermenters arent all the same temperature. Even if I am careful about how much hot and cold water I add, to actually get all 3 within a degree is hard. Currently, I then measure the three fermenters...
