Mine has been collected. Need to decide what I'm going to brew with it. :?:

A brew inspired by "The New IPA" hop book I've been reading. Its just Maris Otter for the malt. The hops are Mosaic, Simcoe and Calypso. Going to be dry hopping during the ferment and the yeast is going to be 90% Verdant IPA and 10% 71B-1122 wine yeast. Should be really fruity if my...

Find a reason why it would be an advantage for her athumb...

Don't fear the white stuff :D. I started off thinking it was a cheat until I found an original recipe (from the head brewer at the time) for Deuchars IPA. He said they used it to control the colour. It should work really well in a Saison (must make another one, I always like it).

Went there a few times when I was young. Bet its changed a bit :D, I'll google it and see what its like now, see if I recognise anything.

Saw the trailer for that and I was worried it would annoy me 🫤. Have you watched the full series ?

Red Queen on Amazon prime. Spanish. Very watchable with some good twists.

Temperature control does open doors. Welcome.

How bad does it leak ? These days I’m usually bottling from an FV that has a tap and I just turn that to stop/start flow through the pipe. There’s always a bit of leakage but I just ignore it. Appreciate you may be syphoning, so no tap but maybe a bit of leak is ok. Or is it a gush ashock1

I reckon my boil off is around 2 - 2.5 litres per hour too. So, like you, I’ve adjusted brew father. I think I remember someone saying something about brewfather assuming that DME and sugar are added to the grain bill and used in the absorption calculation, could be mid-remembering though. I...

I think @DocAnna would like that :D (I see she got in before me :laugh8:)

I did a similar thing. Conditioning bottles in a chest freezer brew fridge and left the temp probe dangling outside. Lolly bottles when I looked the next day. They all survived though. :D

Probably could draw it 99% accurately and read back off that (cheating I know). If there had been a 8 or 9 minute data point excel would have calculated the slope (another cheat). 😁

I've used the towel wrapped round the stock pot successfully in the past (when the Missus is out obviously wink...).

Seems to have ended well then athumb...
