Cheers for the feedback, will keep the faith.

Hey folks Please can you help me out. On Saturday I thought I would take advantage of the chilly weather here in UK to make a batch of Pilsner for cold conditioning in the shed. Problem is I wasn’t paying attention and used Fermentis Safale US05. The brew was at 10C by Sunday morning when I...

http://www.gotta-brew.com/products/cool-zone-cooling-jacket.html Cheers, i was googling and found this, might a good with a bucket of ice water and a pump connected to InkBird. Can't see it for sale here in UK and shipping will likely be the cost of the jacket again. Thinking i could build...

So how do folks keep their fermentation cool when they don't have a fridge they can place the bucket in? I have a smallish flat with a garden but no garage or out building, any thoughts?

Yeah Tilt, love it but i work in data analytics so this is my dream.

Sweet & fruity and rocket fuel, sounds like good things to me, cheers for the advice.

Will that affect the taste/quality?

Sadly we are having a heatwave here in UK this week, but i do not think it is TOO hot yet.

I made a 15L batch of the below recipe Monday night using Wyeast 1056, 36 hours later and it is already at 5.8% (1.062 OG, 1.018 now). Is there any risk to a fermentation generating so quickly? First time i have used this yeast, normally use US-05...

Ah, it just started working, not sure what i did but happy it is feeding now.

So i got my Pi and set it up and it connected to the Tilt with no issues at all :) :( I cannot seem to get it to send to Brewers Friend sadly. I have entered my API key, same one i used for the iPhone app which posts to BF no problem. I tried toggling most settings but to no avail. from the...

Was gonna try that but the only old phone I have is 13 years old and I could not update it to download the app.

Hi folks, Sorry for posting another noob question. I have the Tilt and want to setup with a Pi but have no idea about this stuff. Please can anyone advise me what Pi i need to buy on Amazon UK? THanks

Thanks for all the awesome replies, beer people are the best people. I have ordered a thermo well and until that arrives i will stick probe to side of bucket with some insulation. Can't believe i was dumb enough to just drop it in there.

Hi Beer People I recently bought a unit to help me maintain the correct temp of my fermentation bucket. Just a basic one with a probe on a wire that you then connect to the power supply of your heat mat. But i found that with the probe wire going in to the fermenter i was not able to achieve...

Thanks, I was hoping it might be something like that. I used Safale US-05, when doing kits I have no idea what it is as it just comes in the box. Will keep an eye. cheers

Hi This is my first time doing AG brewing, in the past have only done kits. Brewing an American IPA and is 48 hours since it went in the fermentation buckets. It is bubbling away nicely at around 22c but this morning I noticed these white dots on the inside of the fermenter. Not seen them...

Thats awesome, thanks for the tips guys.

Hi, Sorry for the noob question, I am about to venture in to the AG world but don't have a big kit. When a recipe is for a much higher qty, say 60L, and i only want to make 15L, is it simple division of 4 on the quantities or is there more to it? THanks Nick
