    Storing Grain (un-milled) in a Freezer

    Thanks everyone for the advice ... vacuum sealer on the shopping list. I see one at K-Mart for $59 any thoughts on it's suitability?

    Storing Grain (un-milled) in a Freezer

    Mainly because tight for space in my new place and the freezer space is unused.

    Storing Grain (un-milled) in a Freezer

    Just curious if there is a down-side to storing un-milled grain in containers in a freezer. If it makes a difference I am thinking primarily specialty grains. I am assuming they need to defrost prior to milling, any other gotcha's?

    Fridge/Freezer - run fridge as controlled fermenter and keep freezer as freezer?

    Thanks for that. Looks like I'll just use the fridge. I've set some temp probes up and simulated a ferment for a couple of days and the freezer section goes way warm above zero during the fridge cycle off.

    Fridge/Freezer - run fridge as controlled fermenter and keep freezer as freezer?

    Hi all, firstly apologies if this is already covered somewhere - I did a search and couldn't find precisely what I was after so here is a new thread. I have an upright Fridge/Freezer (Westinghouse Model BJ514V-R if that helps) that I would like to use the Fridge section for fermenting (using my...

    Reiterated Mash and Step Temperatures

    I attempted a Reiterated Mash last night with the following Mash Schedules and I'm curious what folks think of my logic. The aim is to get a pretty fermentable wort to avoid too much cloying sweetness in the final beer. I mashed the first 5kg of grain at 68*C for 30 minutes, no mashout. My...

    BeerSmith 3 - worth the upgrade?

    I did upgrade BS2 to 3 as I did want the cloud improvements so I could work on my PC and then have the most current versions automatically available on the brewery Android Tablet. Unfortunately, the Android Pie upgrade broke the BS3 timer in the Android app and so while waiting for it to be...

    yep thanks WEAL took the "got nothing to lose" approach and vice gripped it to death and got it apart. Now planning a Bunnings trip for the adaptor. Thanks for the help.

    Pressure Relief Valve.

    Any tips on removing the part circled below? I've tried everything and can't get it to undo. In fact, I've probably bent something trying as you can see the old relief spring thing is undone but it won't come out and won't go back in now. Is it a LH thread being a gas fitting? Any help...

    brewstat.us update protocol

    If anyone is following this (doubtful as no one has replied) I got some info from the Tilt guys that allowed me to progress to a completed craftbeerpi3 plugin available at https://github.com/mowbraym/brewstatus - it contains the structure for the API.

    brewstat.us update protocol

    API might be a better term than protocol.

    brewstat.us update protocol

    I'm using craftbeerpi3 to monitor fermentation from my Tilt and writing to Thingspeak and it's working perfectly. Prior to that, and still now as craftbeerpi3 is still under test, I was/am logging the Tilt to brewstat.us via a spare Android phone and the Tilt Android app. Once craftbeerpi3 and...
