Gotta be in it to win it!

I will have to try that, what max time post mix that you would pitch the yeast? It is sitting at 18deg now.

Thanks, will have to wait and see. Cheers

I had a little hiccup. The wort was 32deg even after adding cold water. I chilled it in the fridge and after 30-45mins pitched the yeast at around 29deg as i read it is best to pitch the yeast as soon as possible. It was down to 26.5 an hour after pitching the yeast and down to 23 an hour after...

I got another 500gm of ldme so my hops are boiling as i write this. I found a brew shop in Newcastle and put a huge order in so i can experiment some more. So looking forward to that arriving. Thanks guys for you help it has been great. I am a little worried this may become an obsession rather...

Thanks for all the advice. If i can get another 500gm of ldm would you just add that instead of the dex? I don't mind if it is a lower alcohol content? So 1kg ldm and say 100gm dex? Sorry one question i forgot to ask, does it matter if my bottled apa gets hot. It has been sitting in 21deg for 5...

The pack has no details of temps and after researching i only found referrence to keeping ferment under 24c. It is averaging a bit of 19c at the...

Hi Ducatiboy stu, as I am using the Raspberry Pi, which is just a credit card sized computer, as my controller when i wrote the code I programmed it to save Temp and RH to a log sheet so I could graph it later. So as long as the average is reasonable the peaks and troughs are not so important...

Hi all, I have enjoyed reading this post. I have started making fresh snags and am now very keen to get into the world of salami! As even in winter we don't really have the best conditions for salami making I have decided to make a curing chamber. I have hooked up a Raspberry Pi (micro...
