Yes, a home bar is on my mind too. I've got tacit approval for the concept from SWIMBO, I suppose its 'outline planning permission' at this point :laugh8:. What are you brewing ?

I've bought some grains too. athumb.. (not sure what they are going in yet but they were generically useful malts)

No, sorry, should have made it clearer. Stick vegetables in a 2% salt solution and next day it will start lacto-fermenting. Its a way of preserving, its how kimchi is made. The bubbles have pushed the okra up and dislodged the weight that should be keeping them submerged.

I'm struggling to figure that out. I get slight overshoots rather than undershoots. Is 74.8 close enough ? Is it running a multi step profile ? You could skip to the next step if so.

All vegetables ferment. At least all the ones I've tried so far have. The surprise winner at the moment is sliced leek, lovely. Current batch is Okra/ladies fingers. Gone off like a train, it looks like I've made it with lemonade.

Don't give in :D I assume you've got it set so that the RAPT probe is the 'master' in settings ? Why have you got PID disabled ? Its a key part of keeping a stable mash temp. Are you re-circulating ? I have PID on, 0.3 hysteresis, heater 100%, pump 80%.

Thanks Anna. (and for the pictures). I think its drill time 😁

Last one first - I think it is a generally useful tool. I'm guessing (but don't know) that there will be more expensive systems available to the big boys and girls. I think the opposite of line 2 above. Maybe not maximise flavour but get it closer to what you are trying to acheive. One thing...

Its not based on crops/harvests its based on published technical data. You can override the AA when you are doing what they call a 'study' where you are seeing what a hop schedule's flavour profile would be like. To be more accurate you would need not just year but supplier and batch with a...

Certainly, 31.

I'm waiting for Anna to tell me how she did it. 🙂 ( I have grommets and I'm prepared to use them :laugh8:). Seriously, having the cables emerge closer to the back of the fridge would be a lot tidier. Too much trailage at the moment.

If the prototype works then stick with it. :D I recently put a dash cam in the wife's car. I thought I'd put the cables roughly where they needed to go, assess it and then do it properly. Put the cables in, sat back to review and realised I'd done it. One of the quickest DIYs I've ever done.

Its from Italy.

I listen to spotify, but 99.99% of the time its a podcast. I used to listen to it more for music when there was a functioning API that I used to make my own Raspberry pi based player. Really liked the control that I had. I don't use it like a record player though. Still got a stack of albums...

Yes, it knows about hops from different countries... This is the hop database bit where you can search by country. Or aromatic profile or alpha or beta acid or cohumulone. I'm going to use it for a few recipes and see how they turn out and report back. You can use it for free in a...

On @dave_77 's recommendation I've subscribed to Hop Control, the online hop analysis tool (Not sure that's the right description). It's a bit of an eye opener and on initial testing I think it's going to be useful. In summary you enter your OG, volume and hop schedule and it tells you what the...

Jean Michelle Jarre was once asked the analogue v. digital question and he said "I'd rather sleep with a woman with a lot of makeup than one that has been sliced into very thin slices and then stuck back together".

Funnel for the Davros sugar thing ?

Also... I've always just trailed my probe cables through the door gap which I've never been happy with but been too worried about drilling through something vital to push them through the side. Is there a guaranteed safe route ? Is it 99% safe, or do you just look to see where electrical cables...

From the replies that follow this it sounds you are the leader in terms of grommet utilisation. I started off with STC-1000 controllers, then moved on to Raspberry Pi controllers, and eventually combined the two so that the STC controls the temp and the Pi monitors. As you say lower tech, you...
