Yes, interesting. I don't have a phosisticated graph but have similar experience. My mash temperature probe is in wall of my coolbox mash tun just below the halfway mark of the grain bed. I've taken to giving the mash regular stirs during the heating step to get a better idea of overall mash...

Seems logical to me :confused.: From my (limited) experience of bottling using a counter pressure filler, it's a slow process so make sure your mate brings a good book or a pack of cards to fill the time .......as well as the bottles 😂

Ooer, that looks a bit nasty TETB! For what it's worth, I give my heat exchange (your design) a good flush through with hot water at the end of brew day. Then flush with cold tap water and seal it full of water until next brew day.

Well, a busy brewing day today! It's been a week fermenting in the brew fridge so it's time to dry hop the APA. Well, that's me done for today 😂

Don’t let the “promotion” go to your head 😂

Not boasting but I have two brew fridges, one has the temperature probe through the side, no grommet, and the other has the temperature probe through a slot in the door seal. Can’t tell the difference :confused.:

If it “helps”, that’s exactly the set up I have. Inkbird controlling the fridge internal environment to control fermentation temperature. Works for me and works for you! Not sure about the grommets though ashock1

When brewing traditional ales I'm not too fussed about potential oxidation. However, when brewing NEIPA that requires a huge (+250 gram) dry hops, I do everything I can to reduce the risk of oxygen being introduced towards the end of fermentation and thereafter. I use a standard lidded...

I do too.

I successfully bottled an NEIPA using plastic bottles and carbonating in the bottle with sugar solution. Squeeze the bottle to exclude the air in the head space and cap. Still recommend to drink it young.

When I brew NEIPA I don’t worry about splashing the wort when transferring from boiler to fermenter. It’s the post fermentation transfer that I take precautions with, to try and eliminate any potential source of oxygen, within reason. Most recent change in this was to NOT use Oxy cleaner on my...

Sounds like you need another fridge doc. According to a recent thread, five (including "domestic" fridges) is the magic number 😂.

As the old saying goes "make beer while the sun shines". I took advantage of today's fine weather and an empty fermentation bucket to do a repeat brew of the APA I brewed back in February. No change to the recipe or the equipment so no pics today (you've seen them all before 🥱). Wort is...

I might have over-complicated it a bit asad.
