    Automated all-grain (BIAB) electronic brewery project

    Have you looked into the chinese clone boards? I'm pretty sure there is at least one for every Arduino model, and they're cheap as chips. They're all over Ali express and ebay. Might do what you're looking for. First link is for tiny batches and it does not include temp control as far as I can...

    Automated all-grain (BIAB) electronic brewery project

    Hi guys, Hope I'm not re-posting anything, but I couldn't see it anywhere obvious - and this isn't really a build thread just yet. I'm only in the initial planning stages right now. Has anyone seen this? http://www.instructables.com/id/Fully-Automated-All-Grain-Electric-Beer-Brewery-fo/ One...

    Potential Yeast Contamination?

    I was more worried about the moving into a resealable snap lock bag. But you think this will be ok?

    Potential Yeast Contamination?

    Hey guys, So its been ages since I've posted, and I haven't even lurked behind the scenes much. I sort of had a brief hiatus in my brewing career, but that's over now. I've just brewed myself a honey wheat, which was too hot to pitch the yeast last night. My issue though is that I somehow...

    Another Bloody Lemonade Thread

    Ok, after finally getting around to bottling, as I had been busy here's how it went. After a bit over a month and a bit in the fermenter at 18 degrees, there was very little lemon taste to it, and it tasted a lot like 'fermentation' and not very sweet (thanks a lot lactose). I decided to go...

    RecipeDB - Awaiting Dark

    Looking at making a dark with a very similar hop profile. How is it?

    What Should I Call This Brew?

    Beanie and helmut bitter.

    Everyone Should Make This

    Mine just carbed up... opened up one. Over carbed. God knows how that happened. Definitely not an infection, because it tastes awesome! Can't see how fermentation couldn't have been finished, it got about a month in primary, with 3 sequential hydro readings all the same over about a week...

    Extract Honey Wheat Recipe Feedback

    I used Brewmate for this one, as honey is in it's fermentables list, but I also extensively use ianh's spreadsheet. Software is pretty key to helping you (well, at least me) understand and improve on extract brewing. Ok, after doing a little bit more reading, including your comments, these...

    Extract Honey Wheat Recipe Feedback

    Would you suggest I use more honey then? I would prefer to keep the beer as an extract, as I find this a much more satisfying and enjoyable way to brew beer. I like the idea that I get more control over flavour and bitterness. Does anyone have any advice on the malt? should I stick with all...

    Another Bloody Lemonade Thread

    Did you use the lemon juice to prime the bottles?! Or was this as well as priming sugar?

    Another Bloody Lemonade Thread

    Final volume was 23 litres. OG was 1.042, but this sounds a little suspect to me... I felt like it should have been higher. Perhaps it wasn't mixed well? Or temp was a bit high when I read it? When you say add more lemon juice/pulp and zest, do you mean into secondary? Will this just...

    Extract Honey Wheat Recipe Feedback

    Because I'm not ready to go culturing yet, and as a single use it's just a bit too far out of my student price range. And I've got to admit, I'm quite intimidated by them at the moment too. I've only just moved to extract and fresh hops, and would like to have a few more brew days to iron the...

    Extract Honey Wheat Recipe Feedback

    G'day! After much reading I have decided on this recipe for an extract honey wheat. I quite like beez neez, so something in that ball park would be ideal. 1.5kg LME - Wheat 1.5kg LME - Wheat 500g Honey Danstar Munich Wheat yeast 15g POR 9.8% AA @ 30 10g POR 9.8% AA @ 10 10g B Saaz 9.8% AA @...

    Another Bloody Lemonade Thread

    Hey guys, ...yes, it's another lemonade thread, but this ones a little bit different. I've done a lot of reading, and a lot of threads have people saying something along the lines of "this is my recipe, i'll report back in a month on how it is" and they never do. So my plan is, to share my...

    Kit And Extract Beer Spreadsheet

    Amazing spreadsheet! I use it all the time. Can I suggest a way to 'export recipe to text' for ease of posting onto places like here? I tried the old copy and paste from the "recipes" tab, but it doesn't come out quite as desired... If there is a way to do this already, please forgive me...

    Hops Storage

    How cheap is cheap on the vacuum packer?
  20. chemacky

    Whats The Difference?

    Sink lower. The number reading should be heading down towards 1.000 as the beer ferments.
