fermented a few at hot temperatures and had to much of an ester taste "bananas". dumped the whole batch. invested in a temp control unit and now ferment at 64 for 3 days then at 66 the remaining fermentation time. Trust me, this brings out awesome flavors. Good investment and awesome flavors. Great video. thanks for sharing.

Is there a wrap-around external cooler that will refrigerate a large 5 gallon bucket? Maybe an insulated blanket and chilled water circulator?

3:39 wait what? Heating mode (on a thermostat) for a fridge? That doesn't sound right!?!?
@NorthernBrewerTV2 жыл бұрын
Some brewers might hook the controller up to a heat source (wrap, lamp, heater in chest), etc to keep fermentation warm, so the controller has both functions in case someone has been cold and hot in a single space.

Here in New Zealand the temperature is cool in winter so I put my fermentor into a bigger plastic container. fill with water. and maintain a constant temperature with a fish tank heater. Budget solution. I have observed the increase in temperature when the wort is fermenting well in the early stages.
@NorthernBrewerTV4 жыл бұрын
The first 48-72 hours of fermentation definitely sees an increase in internal temperature as the energy of fermentation basically heats the wort a bit. Your system sounds like a great solution for the temp control puzzle. Cheers!

This is my biggest problem with homebrewing. I've heard the heating mat actually heats up the trub sitting at the bottom of the vessel producing off flavors.

hi how do you check if yeast is dead or good,?
@NorthernBrewerTV2 жыл бұрын
Are you talking about dry yeast or liquid yeast specifically? Most packets should have a Manufacture Date or a Best By Date. A good rule of thumb for liquid is that they start to degrade after three months, but I've pitched packets that were 6-9 months old that still fermented fine -- IF they were stored cold, that is. For liquid yeast, you could always make a starter and look for the telltale signs of fermentation: foaming/krausen, wort becomes cloudy, etc. Hope this helped. If not, tell us more about your situation.

If you sanitize the probe with Star San can you simply put the probe in the fermentation or is there a reason for a thermal well?
@NorthernBrewerTV Жыл бұрын
I suppose you could if you seal the point of entry into the vessel in way to make sure there is no oxygen in/out. I don't think there's a reason why you couldn't if you covered your bases there and in making sure it'c completely sanitized.

Well, this was an exceptionally done production. Highly professional, succinct and extremely informative. Well done! Any recommendations on smart thermometers we can use to monitor the temperature of the fermentation over time?
@NorthernBrewerTV4 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the good word. We appreciate it! The Tilt is our suggested smart themometer/hydrometer. It's easy to use and the most accurate of the ones we've tried over the past few years. www.northernbrewer.com/products/tilt-wireless-hydrometer-and-thermometer-red

How about a guide to getting your big mouth bubbler lids to stay in place?
@jafarym777 жыл бұрын
jduckett1985 hahaha that's funny, I'm glad I went with regular carboys instead of those big mouth bubblers.
@uqox6 жыл бұрын
I'm not joking here, I ended up using bungee cords. That's my SOP since I came home to the lid at a 45 degree angle to the mouth of the carboy. I got lucky that most of the blow-off still went through the blow-off tube.
@LonelyRavenProductio6 жыл бұрын
Dry off the lid, and the neck of the carboy. They will pop up when wet, but seat well and not creep up when dry.
@hadleyhunter60086 жыл бұрын
If you have a 3D printer, someone posted a solution on thingiverse.com. It clamps around the neck, tabs rotate over the lid to lock it in. I printed it and It works perfectly. www.thingiverse.com/thing:2451253

Great video, thanks for sharing! Even though I live in an area that is pretty moderate temperature wise, there's been many times where I've avoided brewing because of fluctuations or the temp was just all wrong for the type of beer I wanted to make. These are very useful tips! If you enjoy other kinds of fermented foods, you may enjoy our channel as well. Cheers!

If you have a refrigerator and use a controller, what would you use and a heater to warm it up when needed?
@chaist947 жыл бұрын
you could use an electric blanket or a heating pad. my controller has two plugs, one for heating and one for cooling. They will cycle alternately as the outside temperature changes.
