For anyone thinking about buying this, I have taken one for the team and tested it in boiling hot wort 😂
It wouldn’t work for three hours,even after being dried out on a heater(the reading were volcanic temps !)
It then got ten minutes in the freezer and now working super.
If anyone needs anything else thrown into a boiler let me know 👍
The biscuits didn’t go in

Ok,walked into the hut to check this tonight,ooooooft,eggy,stinking smell.
Once I stopped letting off I checked my beer 😄
No seriously this thing was reeking,threw in the 50g dry hop so fingers crossed
 
Bit of advice needed please.
Bottling this soon,what temp to condition at???
Surely it will carb up at 25 degrees? Yeast says ferment at 12-15 will room temp 18-20 or 24 for swmbo😁 be too much and spoil it?
Thanks
 
Depends really. I always do secondary fermentation at the same temp as I brewed at. But can't see it making that much difference unless you go wild!
From my limited knowledge, the flavour is imparted primarily in the first few days of brewing, anything after that is not as important.
Conditioning temp IS important though. Worked in pubs for years and the best pubs always had a cellar between 10-12c for their ales.
 
Even if no one is interested,your going to hear about this !!!!! 😉
Tasted this tonight,maybe my taste buds are shot but wasn’t hoppy at all.
Threw in 50g Amarillo,50g Simcoe and 50g Chinook
It’s a decent dry hop so another three days then drop temp to 3-4 degrees .
Gravity was 1012
Cheers
 
Have always carbed my lagers at room temp mate. Takes longer due to the lack of yeast because of weeks at the cold temp, but if you going straight to bottle from the secondary should make a difference.
