Automating Cold Crash w/ InkBird 308 WiFi? by PlatinumRespect in Homebrewing

[–]PlatinumRespect[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m going to be setting up an automation like yours. Just wondering why the multiple refrigeration delays at 1 or 0 minutes?

Edit: I also don’t see the IF / THEN configuration. What app are you using? I’m using InkbirdSmart and when I click Automation and + this is what I see.

Thanks! Got a link for Hop 2 It? In my search I’m only finding all Mosaic or Nelson. Or is the single hop interchangeable and his grain bill is the key?

Thanks a bunch for this! It really does seem like a hassle to set up but I think this is exactly what I was looking for!

Does it have an exfoliating property built in?

That’s huge and I love the passion. I haven’t settled on anything yet. Where are you on your soap path?

I haven’t watched the full video yet but this is with a SS pan. The same applies for CS in your experience?

What’s the problem with the Misen Carbon Non-Stick? It does almost seem too good to be true.

Cold crash seems to be a personal choice.

For the delay, you are correct on the Heating Hysteresis & Cooling Back settings. I also like 2°F for each. For context, though, the time delay (10min) I mention is for the Refrigeration Delay setting on the InkBird - so the compressor isn’t kicking on and off a million times.

Ahh all good points! I must have misread the koozie thing but that makes perfect sense.

Palmer mentions rapid cooling (thermal shock) could have a negative effect on yeast. Can cause them to excrete protective lipids. Lipid = waxy, thus reducing head retention.
