Ugh, I wish the fermzilla lid was the same size as the fermentasaurus... Nothing universal fits it to replace the shitty plastic lid that keeps getting stripped because of the poor plastic threads design. Right before I kegged, all of the fruit was floating on the top so I threw 30psi at it and...

Well when you got 6 lbs of Raspberry and blueberry puree with seeds in there, it's a must!

Taking all the fun out of my hypothetical project haha

Hehe yeah closed transfers are pretty nice! Huehue like dis?

I dig that idea, keep it simple rather than going all out. Also gotta make it a little exciting for people too, not just be another pub. Maybe offer a flight of lets say 6 beers, 3 are craft and 3 are tap. Then tell the customer if they can figure out which 3 are popular brands and not your...

For some reason, I decided to add another fun little project to my ongoing list of projects. What if you could refill your CO2 tank at home... WITHOUT dry ice lol I spent the last 6 hours researching it and many forums that are 10+years old and everyone "speculating" why it wouldn't work but...

ESP Programmer was delivered today for my project: The project - Making some upgrades to my Plaato Airlock (shhh don't tell Plaato :p):

Well then, I don't know what to tell you since you eliminated the full proof method of knowing if ferm is active or not other than starring at the fermenter hahaha. Like I said, the fruit itself shouldn't kick off any fermentation other than maybe moving the yeast around and foams up a little...

Won't hurt to have one, I got a cheap one from Amazon for $13.99 USD and in the package there was a $15 Amazon Gift Card from them as a thank you for ordering so I basically got it for free lol

It'll bubble a little and appear like it's fermenting again because the fruit will create a barrier and prevent CO2 from escaping but it shouldn't kick off like a normal ferment. Is your airlock bubbling a lot?

Weeelllll, your pH based on your water profile is 5.4 and passion fruit pH is 6.5+ so if anything, the passion fruit will make the beer sweeter more than making it tart. Do you measure pH levels? My last batch I did was a Raspberry Wheat, I use tap water and my water profile has a pH around 7...

Haha I was just about to go to bed and saw your notification! Well, my current brew has a total of 6LBS of fruit in it which is almost double what you're doing. I'd say do it!

I don't go that high in temps, I'll do around 140°F or 60°C for 10 minutes only and then throw it in the freezer. I also start with frozen fruit which theoretically would help with oxidation of the fruit and then mash it or blend it real quick and ziplock it up and use water displacement to get...

I am drinking a sour from a local brewery that I found at BevMo while experimenting with ideas. I don't have any drinkable homebrew at the moment, got 5 gal currently in secondary with raspberry and blueberry puree and then I have 48 bottles of a Lutra and 48 bottles of a Strawberry Honey Kolsch...

I do not have advice on preserving the fruit but I have done a few fruit beers (sours and wheats) and have always used real fruit and pasteurized in my sous vide cooker and then zip it all up and throw it in the freezer until needed for secondary. As far as the "preserving" part, what...

Sounds like the dream everyone wants!

It can be either or as the ESP has anywhere from 4-8mb of flash storage. I have an ESP8266MOD that has 8mb and have full control over each pin and have tons of storage space left over Well my issue is that I have a mesh wifi network (2.4 and 5ghz are the same SSID and cannot be changed...

Yep, right there with you on that one! One thing I feel beersmith has over brewersfriend is the recipes. I buy a lot of stuff from Northern Brewer and not all recipes are in Brewersfriend but are already in beersmith. I wished Northern Brewer still had their recipe XML export option but they...

No not at all. I'll eventually get a tilt or two or build a couple of my own instead for when I get to multiple simultaneous brews and don't want to spend $130 for each Plaato. Although I spent 6 hours yesterday reverse engineering my Plaato to upgrade it to support 5ghz wifi from only 2.4ghz...

Hence the topic of this thread right? :p
