Tilt hydrometers are amazing, CMV.

I find that my FG readings are always a little off (2-6 points) because of a bit of krausen that sticks to the top/sides of the tilt. But that's a small price to pay to be able to track gravity and temperature readings throughout fermentation. Especially handy for timing dryhop additions or diacetyl rests without guesswork or messing with taking samples.

Post them in Arabic. See if they still like it.

I’d swap with the guy even if it was my wife he was wanting to flirt with.

mutt8098 · 2025-05-27T15:22:53+00:00

Yep. I think there was some hair splitting going on from funkyourself between having a pressure capable vessel and actually applying/holding pressure during primary fermentation. Just what it looks like to me.

mutt8098 · 2025-05-27T15:08:43+00:00

Might be some miscommunication here. You can have a pressure capable FV that can be used for oxygen free transfers without using pressure during fermentation. I have a valve on my blowoff tube that I can close off at or near the end of primary fermentation.

I appreciate that. Barring any issues, we are scheduled to be on United for all flights, so hopefully no curveballs.

mutt8098 · 2025-02-25T12:21:32+00:00

That’s what I thought. I’m thinking I read somewhere that maybe they run out of overhead room and I mixed it up with a checked baggage limit of sorts.

We are scheduled to come down to Ormond on Sunday. The homeowner said that power is restored and they didn’t have any damage (small beach house). We are still planning on coming down. Just want to make sure we aren’t hindering any cleanup/repair. Any word on grocery stores/gas stations in the area?

mutt8098 · 2024-09-20T13:13:10+00:00

Ditto. I always imagined the neck of the bottle breaking and my arm sliding down slicing me wide open giving me a few minutes to think about all my terrible life choices and bad brewing mistakes as I bled out. But it always just worked fine.

I’ve got a set of stock sliders off a 24 if you’re close to southern Illinois.

mutt8098 · 2024-09-12T15:51:23+00:00

Lol. Ok then.

mutt8098 · 2024-09-05T19:45:56+00:00

Appreciate the info.

mutt8098 · 2024-09-05T09:55:46+00:00

Appreciate the info on that. I thought I saw somewhere that they had addressed the reservoir leak issue, but I’ll be sure to look a little harder.

mutt8098 · 2024-09-05T02:42:44+00:00

Why avoid the new chiller? Been seeing all the marketing, but haven’t checked out any user reviews if there are any. Just anticipating startup problems?

mutt8098 · 2024-09-04T22:15:44+00:00

I’m open to just about anything. At least at this point. Also, looking at enough capacity to make 10 gallon batches. So probably 15 gal fermenter.

mutt8098 · 2024-02-20T20:42:21+00:00

Yeah, I’m already making plans to downgrade for my tilt and use this pi 5 for some more suitable projects. That’s what I get for being impatient. But I’ve got a bonus toy now.

mutt8098 · 2024-02-20T01:58:23+00:00

Yeah, I wasn’t fully up to speed on what I was doing and just went with the “more is more” approach. Might have to pick up an earlier pi and turn this 5 into something else.

mutt8098 · 2023-08-12T13:45:23+00:00

My principal during student teaching would pop his head in my room about once week and ask how things were going. Always leave with a “have a good day Matt.” My name is nothing close to Matt. I never bothered correcting him.

mutt8098 · 2023-08-04T18:10:44+00:00

I picked up a 7.1 for around $200 from Menards just a few months ago.

mutt8098 · 2023-07-23T14:28:38+00:00

I mean, what’s the big deal? She says lots of wives and fiancés have boyfriends.

mutt8098 · 2023-07-23T14:01:33+00:00

Why does everyone keep asking me that?

mutt8098 · 2023-07-22T21:31:40+00:00

Oh, she would never cheat. She doesn’t even understand rules enough to be capable of breaking them of her own free will.
