For anyone brewing this weekend, I've taken care of the sacrificial quart of wort onto the floor so you don't have to. Hadn't done that in a while so I went all in and did it with a milk stout.

Nice UI, OMB.

Thanks for that! Nice and dark too. Good choice! Wink

Brewed an amped up version of the West Coast IPA recipe found on this website today. I increased the flamout (acutally 1 min) hops slightly by (1 oz each) and will then also be doubling the dry hop amounts. I think I'm basically turning it into a DIPA.

I brewed an oktoberfest beer, just beat the rain, here it is fermenting, I know its a lager but I still use the same technique for both lagers and ales, start at 60 and ramp up to 72

envious of your interface - really nice. Did you set up a port forward rule on you router? or is this a dedicated URL?

the interface can be set up local or on the cloud but since it sends a packet every minute I chose local to prevent too much traffic from the esp8266 and database and I can either use port forward or nginx reverse proxy to handle the request, I've done it both ways and I really don't see any difference except for viewing the port number

I've got a small bug in my script, it sends all probe readings at once and one always gets cut short so I need an expert programmer to help me write some smart logic in the C++ script to send one reading at a time

What yeast? 60F seems high for most lager yeasts. (And too low for most ale yeasts). Perfect for the hybrid beers however like Kolsch, Cali common , Altbier, etc.

yest that's a highly debatable topic but I use 34/70 yeast at 60 just fine, it's still just as clean with no off flavors if I do a rest at 72 then lager in the keg

Yep. 34/70 is one of the few that seems to do really well (ferments clean) at low "Ale like" temps.

When you drop back down to 34 to cold crash, do you do anything to avoid oxygen contact? This is one reason why I don't crash until the beer's on CO2 pressure to avoid any contact with atmosphere. While every beer is different, I find anything hop forward just has the flavour decimated if it gets any contact with atmosphere.

yes I go straight to the keg in the keezer, add it to C02 then vent the keg for 15 minutes pulling about 4 times, I crash while I carbonate.

I've dabbled with no oxygen transfers a bit but I'm not a fanatic

Ok - it sounded like the temp schedule was automated but I guess it isn't (which is fine/good - that's what I do too).

I've done what you're thinking before and what happens is the pressure rushes into the vessel as you open it and it's like riding a bike with your water jug open, it's a stale oxygenated taste at first and not a good flavor

so far my keezer is seporate from my fermintation chamber but they are close by, I might try this out one day with a hose directly from one to the other using CO2 to push

Got one step closer to getting my truck out of the brewery and resuming brewing.

Got the cab, and nose minus one fender (@$$&ing dog) done, primer, base, clear this weekend.

This is after replacing both rockers, cab corners, and reskinning doors.

wy3787 Trappist
wy2112 Cali lager
wy1968 London ESB
wlp838 southern German Lager
wlp833 German bock lager
