    Matho's controller

    Well this is embarrassing - I never had it set to gas, I typed that by accident. If it was set to gas it would have never worked in the first place. I still don't know what the issue is unfortunately. Are you sure about that? The last few degrees when ramping to the boil temperature are...

    Matho's controller

    Hi zwitter, Thanks for offering to help! I have laels kit with ardbir 2.8.3 from github. A complete list of settings are: Heating Mode - Gas P - 100 I - 30 D - 10 Window ms - 2000 Sample time - 1500 PWM - 85% Calibration - 0.3C Temperature - C Sensor - Internal Boiling - 97C (I've played...

    The Brauduino (Matho’s Controller) Build/Advice/Question Thread

    Did you manage to resolve the issue of boil temp always starting at 110 deg? It's really haunting me, I can't get rid of it. I've tried wiping my arduino and installing both versions of ardbir 2.8.3, the official release and the development edition.

    Matho's controller

    Has anyone had any issues with the boil temperature setting to 110C during the ramp to boil, even though you've set it to something completely different in the settings? This is causing me problems because once I'm at the boil and lower the boil temp to start the boil timer which works, but...

    Low dissolved oxygen brewing techniques

    Ha, there you go :) I'll have to agree with you, however the lodo "method" covers so much process on the hot and cold side. It's not a silver bullet just removing oxygen, it's taking on all the process improvements which helps eradicate flaws from your beers and leaves you with only the recipe...

    Low dissolved oxygen brewing techniques

    I'd like to add a bit of credit to the lodo method. First competition I've entered some beers into - I managed to score gold in the pale lager category at the recent Gold Coast Amateur Brewing Comp. Maybe all the extra effort isn't such a waste of time after all! :)

    Gold Coast Amateur Brewing Competition - April 2017

    Thanks for that. Just a question about the scoring sheets. Why are some of the final scores adjusted from the original score e.g. originally a 38 was given then down below it there's a different circled number?

    Low Alcohol IPA (~3% ABV)

    So I want to try and brew a beer with some IPA punch, but doesn't punch me in face. The ability to have a schooner or two during the week without wiping myself out whilst cooking dinner. I've seen that the mad fermentationist did some work with a low alcohol IPA with some success. So surely we...

    26L Kegmenter, any good?

    I can't fit two of the 26L ibrew kegmenters in my fridge so I think I'm going to go for just the 25L kegs which are narrower but taller. But really whats the difference!?

    Draining Craftbrewer BIAB Bag

    Reviving a bit of a dead thread here, but has anyone had any luck with CB's "new" BIAB bags? https://www.craftbrewer.com.au/shop/details.asp?PID=4221 I have one I bought in 2015 and it's quite hopeless, especially when recirculating with a pump.When I try and drain it turns into a big wort...

    26L Kegmenter, any good?

    I also just found these 25L kegs for $149 each. Seems like the best option so far http://www.brewmart.com.au/brewmart-shop/catalogue/?detail&ItemID=3749&SZIDX=0&CCODE=16408&QOH=0&CATID=416&CLN=1

    26L Kegmenter, any good?

    ibrew has 26L kegs for sale, at a very steep price. I just wonder if anyone has seen these elsewhere? I'm keen to get a pair of these for the fermentation fridge as the 50L kegmenter from keg king is too large. http://www.ibrew.com.au/products/kegmenter-20-and-26-litre-from

    The Brauduino (Matho’s Controller) Build/Advice/Question Thread

    I think it's related to the pump during boil setting. As soon as I disabled that I had PWM control return at the boil. It's slightly annoying if you want to do a no chill as if you want to pump the wort out you have to go into settings and enable the pump during boil and adjust the temp lockout...

    FS: BNE Grainfather Setup (new Connect controller, micro pipework &#38

    Hi Insensate, you'll find the brewers choice grainfather is without the new bluetooth connect controller which is $200 new. If you want I can sell you the grainfather without the new controller for $800 and sell the controller separately. Also you have the micropipework and the blichmann...

    The Brauduino (Matho’s Controller) Build/Advice/Question Thread

    Is anyone having issues with the PWM power adjustment during boil?? In auto mode my controller starts the boil timer once the boil temperature is reached, then it just provides boil temperature adjustment and is a right pain in the ass/impossible to maintain the correct boil power using just...

    FS: BNE Grainfather Setup (new Connect controller, micro pipework &#38

    Selling my Grainfather setup as I've custom built a larger custom rig, it's about 18 months old (apart from the controller - new) and hasn't missed a beat. I'm also including the micro pipework for small batches and the blichmann thrumometer for use with the chiller. Includes manuals for the GF...

    Low dissolved oxygen brewing techniques

    Just thought I'd share my new rig to replace my Grainfather, taking into account low O2 practice.
