Sail Life - Keeping it cool 🔥 and making yogurt 👩‍🍳

[@garyflippin1690]

Mads is out of sandpaper? Really? Maybe Ava isn't allowed in his hoard.

[@lyfandeth]

The real question is, where is Ava going and what is she doing with all of Mads' sandpaper?

[@mattsains]

RGB fans and water cooling? You officially have a gaming yacht

[@world-traveller6949]

When you use UHT milk, you don´t need to heat it up. Actually you can just put the youghurt directly in the box milk :)

[@jepomer]

As much as I enjoy Mads' technical projects, Ava is a delightful and informative guide to the various local sites and nautical domestic activities. As a couple you both give us a glimpse of your travels in a realistic way, rather than a "reality show".

[@storkstormhawk]

I agree, I need them both.

[@sailingmarie7097]

"She is sanding her nut" I almost cried! hahaha

[@marccohen5477]

Try the A B C islands for hurricane season. Put spacers between the Winston cells to allow air to travel between them.

[@immoosiesmom]

I love the Eva pop-up at the end! 😂

[@bwuepper439]

Ava, Look for active cultures listed on the container from the store. I use a greek yogurt that has seven different active cultures. I start with 7 quarts of milk. Using a slow cooker, raise to 180F. Turn off the slow cooker. Allow to cool to 110F. I mix two cups of the heated milk with once cup of the starter yogurt and add back into the warm milk. I use multiple kitchen towels to cover the shut off slow cooker. I wait between 17-20 hrs or so. Using a colander and cheesecloth, strain the yogurt mix. You have to keep draining the yogurt until you get the consistency you want. It will take between 15-24 hrs. During the straining process keep the batch refrigerated. I will strain/drain off four quarts of whey which can be used in many ways (no pun intended) leaving 96 ozs (four 24 oz containers). When I can get it, close dated full fat organic milk is best and cheapest. I find that the milk can be past the "best by" date by a week or so as long as it has been kept cold. Add whatever you like or eat plain.

[@steveholtum6259]

Mads, Ava was not 'fiddling' with yogurt, It was alchemy!

[@jessicakirchoff2536]

Yes!!!

[@gap136]

1) steering “reverse direction” the opposite direction you’re facing for IS HARD but it does get more intuitive the more you do it. 2) Love that you’re making your own yogurt. I make my own too as a way to save cost and cut down on waste (using glass bottles of milk you can return to the store). It was then that I learned that whey was the only difference between regular and Greek yogurt too 🤯. Also found that hot summer days made it easier to make without using any dinosaur squeezings which makes it pretty dang spiffy.

[@MEMAndersen]

A+ for use of good old Mads vocabulary!

[@kiplingslastcat]

It's so cool to see Ava so comfortable on camera!

[@brianparravicino163]

Hi Mads, If you are still in Barbados, you can get marine grade heavy wire from Marine power solutions or Carter's Fisherman's corner.

[@solstar4778]

A more passive way of cooling is to put the lithium Batteries on a heat sink and with the fan and more circulation maybe a Aluminum pad on all lithium batteries with a exhaust fan to the head area , to me 35 c is body temperature ,and for emergency cooling empty the ice out of the freezer under the batteries ,carefully to not let the bottom of batteries get wet if all fails order replacements that-can handle the more heat from the charging system. Yes best to make own home made ( scratch) breads and yogurts and ( stores food) keep in brisker or cool ( bilge) storage 😋, by the way what is the water ( sea) temperature under the hull ? Maybe cooler under the boats hull 🌬

[@OCW301-79]

Put bags with ice on the batteries.❄️

[@realnutteruk1]

Sourdough, and kimchi next? How much fermentation can one woman do?

[@daner.d]

fan hole doesn't have to be round just square and smaller than the fan housing. enough to hold the screw's. you'll get more volume that way

[@fatmanoverlanding]

35ºC? Is that high temp threshold just a little too low? Is that something you've just set for yourself? Or is that temp specific for your type of lithium batteries? I thought Lithium batteries can be safely charged between -20ºC to 60ºC. Bumping the high temp threshold up to 40ºC (as was recommended) is more real-world realistic IMO.

[@HammerRocks]

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing regarding the safe charging temps of lithium batteries too. 35C is a little too low considering they can be safely charged up to 60C.

[@marktahu2932]

You guys are hilarious - you're having fun and that's always a great watch - Ava sure is cheeky and a good match for you Mads..

[@aleroxit]

Good story, done well. You are a fan boy though. I'm sure starship will be successful soon if not the next launch... However the Saturn 5 had no failures. Yes it was expensive but it was also the first. And only a loodachris 60 some years after the worlds first sustained powered controlled manned flight!! We are now 50 years after the last moon landing. If they can't fix it, I will

[@hansslob6749]

Well, maybe Eva can cook something on those batteries. If half of these videos become a cooking program, you’re loosing me. There is an island, underwater life, enough to fill beautiful videos. I missed the sailing over the Atlantic, nothing about navigation, just short shots. And now 15 min of cooking yoghurt.

[@otherside2k3]

Mads, seriously now I'm a electronics engineer working with lithium batteries for the last 15+ years. There's never ever been a battery that the datasheet said 35C max for charging. Almost all LiFePO4 batteries have the same ratings. 0 to 55 charge, -20 to 55 discharge. And ok say these are your safety limits, keep it 5C lower than the limit and you more than fine!. I really don't understand where the DIY community finds these numbers... 38C. Here in Greece in the summer wouldn't be able to operate them at all. i've worked with Winston cells, the factory called Thundersky and done thousands of hours worth of testing with 100Ah and 200Ah and bigger cells. I'm also a functional safety engineer and have designed several BMS. Don't bother with the cells! Change the setting to 50 and you're fine. Your inverter does need air to breathe though.

[@mckenziekeith7434]

I agree 100 percent. The thundersky datasheets say 60 C. 50 C is perfectly fine. The cells probably won't ever reach 50 C because Athena can't charge them fast enough for much self-heating. I don't have that much experience with LFP but I HAVE read the datasheets and worked professionally with other Li chemistries for many years.

[@philgray1023]

Thanks for that info. In our marina there are lots of folks with lithium banks and a saloon temperature of 38°C is pretty normal in summer, and sometimes higher. We have water temperatures of 28°C so cooling options are limited. After watching this I was a bit concerned about how you could even charge an EV in Queensland between October and March. Folks do so it seems.

[@andrewward1559]

Brilliant brilliant and brilliant ,!!!! I loved this episode you guys are so flipping good. Can’t wait for the next. Fair winds. 😀

[@morganandreason]

I see potential synergy here: Just put the yoghurt in the battery compartment, where the temps are 32-37° C. What could possibly go wrong?

[@HarryLovesRuth]

Coconut Yarn Bowl: add a hole on the side and a slot to thread the yarn.

[@OddLifeCrafting]

See you (tomorrow, hahaha)

[@mckenziekeith7434]

Stop charge at 35 C? That is ridiculous. You can raise the limit much higher. EDIT: I would set it to 50 C without hesitation.

[@lyfandeth]

Sounds like you need to talk to Victron. Your charging system may be charging with too much power (for that ambient temperature) and overheating the batteries--and the system should be able to cut back the charge rate, in order to prevent that. I wonder if you could order in some larger heat sink fins, or Peltier effect coolers, to attach directly on the batteries?

[@michaelamccann2507]

Hey what's going on??? No Hi Guys No If you've enjoyed the video leave a like 👍 What's happening to you guys 😂

[@ianhine4012]

Ava, UHT Milk is already sterile so no need heat it if straight out of the box, just need to sterilize the jar and utensils with boiling water.

[@maj21093]

Mads, you can use your drill or a Dremel tool can be used to cut a large circle just by using a short piece of wood or metal and a 1/4" bolt. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYHIZoqbnLCjZ9E

[@robaust3049]

“Passenger Princess…” luv it. You 2 make a great couple. Nice to see you having fun.

[@svbarryduckworth628]

"Sustainable yogurt." Sail life is always evolving...

[@BobbieGWhiz]

I just use one tablespoon of whey for a quart of milk, instead of the yogurt, as the starter. Put the whey in the jar first. By pouring the milk on top of it, it mixes it self. Works perfectly well. I always thought this channel lacked enough yogurt making until now.

[@henrymorgan3982]

Great to see you two having fun in the sun! I would recommend an area with some mangrove protection for sitting out hurricane season.

[@boazjoe1]

I didn't get an octoMads. Will you be giving away a coconut bowl?

[@theq68]

Note about the starter plain yogurt bought on the supermarket, make sure it is a live culture some aren't!

[@mckenziekeith7434]

I experimented with yogurt a bit. You can put hot water in a cooler, then set the yogurt jars in the cooler with the hot water. It will set much faster and more consistently. The water can be about 120 F (but no higher, otherwise it may kill the culture).

[@philgray1023]

We have a "yoghurt maker", which is basically a cooler with a line marked inside telling you how high the water needs to be. You can pick them up from almost any charity shops for $5, however they rarely come with the container to fit inside, and the lids of those containers eventually crack.

[@AirnFire1111]

I see Mads almost kept Ava from doing the "Don't forget to leave a like" again. 😅

[@artisanfilms1]

There are yoghurt forums???

[@nathantrembath]

What happened to the “Hi Guys” to kick off the video! See yoooh!

[@TheMorten1181]

Mads... Yougurt is also good for sunburn... especially when you are a pale Dane... 😁😁

[@finnsailing69]

Ava has gone nuts?😂

[@XavierPil]

Eva is such a natural! Like she’s been host forever!,

[@SVImpavidus]

It may be an Idea to swap places in the tender. Petrol engines have the throttle arm on the left of the engine and are driven from the right (facing forward). IE the helm sits on the Starboard side of a tender rolling the throttle towards them to increase power, and away from them to decrease. This is a more natural steering and seating position for most folks. Hope this helps 😁👍 Sail safe guys.

[@donaldwatson554]

This is the best DIY sailing channel on KZbin! Oh, and I love Ava‘s enthusiasm, it’s infectious!

[@gadenhertog]

Is it an idea to leave some room between the cells to allow for some airflow in between and thus a much greater surface for heat dissipation?

[@RossTheGenMan]

Lithium Cells need to be compressed when being used (you can see the metal plates and bars Mads is using for this purpose when he shows the cells in this video) so you can't leave any space between them.

[@mckenziekeith7434]

They are charging and discharging at such a low rate that the batteries are barely heating at all. It is probably the charger and other electronics that are heating up the whole compartment. It would be a good idea if they were charging and discharging rapidly.

[@mckenziekeith7434]

@@RossTheGenMan well, if you really wanted, you COULD compress each cell individually with an aluminum plate. But it is complex and unnecessary.

[@gadenhertog]

@@RossTheGenMan interesting, I didn't know that. Even if you have only one cell you have to compress it? So you could only do that with special radiator-like plates in between...

[@RossTheGenMan]

@@gadenhertog Yeah I think he explains it in his video about installing the pack.

[@MidnightAmratha]

for the diy people, i suggest drilling a circle of holes with your drill, then use a short piece of hacksaw blade to take out the spaces in between. Lastly use a bit of time with a chisel to smooth out the hole, it will NOT be pretty but since you are going for useful over decorative i guess it will work. good luck.

[@mattevans-koch9353]

Ava, you need to get a sourdough starter for making bread. That way you don't need to buy yeast and you can have pancakes and with yogurt everyday. Great video guys.

[@meestahwah]

I was thinking the same. My grandfather started making sourdough pancakes from a starter he made in the 70s and I still have the starter today. I have made it in SO many places that the original bacteria is likely VERY diluted, but I love the idea that I am still making "Grandpa's" cakes long after he has passed.

[@Bill_N_ATX]

@@meestahwahThere are sourdough started that are confirmed to be over a couple hundred years old. Yeast are such amazing little creatures.

Hoping you head north to the Chesapeake...then I might have the ability to meet my favorite sail crew. October 2020 I walked into the Cambridge MD public marina facilities...and who was playing on the desk computer...Mads and Sail life. Would love to meet in person. Cheers

[@thomaspaccione8237]

When I was in 4th grade in 1978, we were told that the US will be on the metric system by 1980, so we had to learn it......Well, here we are in 2023. If it were not for products imported to the US, there would be no metric in site, unless you work in the medical profession. My Chevy truck was made in Canada, it is all metric, I hate it. I'm always losing that dreaded 10MM socket.

[@philgray1023]

We have been waiting for what seems like forever for the yoghurt construction segment. We eat it every day, but just the packet kind.

Regarding battery cooling, I wonder if Peltier circuit elements have a cooling function? They could placed judiciously on the battery bank to lower the temperature

[@iwoodie]

We had to 😂 because of you guys when we go from Mads his fans to Awa’s yoghurt and back to Mads his jadijadija….😂😂😂

[@boatelectricaldiy]

Not very far into this video, but 35 Celsius is way to low of a temperature protection setting my friend. I don't use the Winston cells, or the REC BMS, but I find 45 to work perfectly for my professional installations. Even though it's well below the top end of what a LiFePO4 can take temperature wise without damage, I prefer a decent safety buffer so 45 Celsius does that perfectly imo. (edit: I see you've chosen 40 Celsius. I still think the Winston cells will be fine at 45 Celsius. They don't conduct heat as well because of their case's R rating, but you are in the tropics, you need a setting 10 degrees above ambient at least if you don't want disconnects. Batteries make heat when they work hard. Victron's options can set up a temperature controlled fan for you too if you don't mind that noise in the berth and want to keep them set to 40.)

[@dremein]

While I'm not so sure yogurt is so cool I like Ava's temperature measurement system. 212 minus 32 give ya 180 increments between really cold and really hot; much more informative than that Celsius crude 100 increments between cold and hot! 🙂

[@gkkes]

Thanks for the yogurt tutorial. It's a great idea instead of always having to buy it...and using it in other ways such as a base for all kinds of sauces.

[@bobrose7900]

Ava, hopefully you'll get to read this, use you left hand on the dinghy tiller/throttle - surprising, but it works! Stitch drill for the hole, then a flap wheel and keep the vacuum cleaner handy. Love your tutorials Ava, about anything - wit charm and humour work wonders! 40°C max on those batteries - put them in a plastic bin with a small amount of water to evaporate off - perforate the lid. The evaporation causes a massive chilling effect (latent heat of vaporisation - as you know!). Great video!

[@aserta]

I'd probably space out the cells with bigger bands using some kind of solid spacer that does allow airflow. Perhaps some kind of lattice that's 3D printed. I'd probably go for ceramic spacers. They don't do heat transfer and they're cheap when bought in bulk.

[@JRaynor99]

[@stephenforrow2333]

If it is "boxed milk" ie UHT, it is sterile. You don't need to heat it! Also, it should be noted that if you are going to be using shop bought yogurt, it must be LIVE yogurt

[@andywindy]

Cooling the Batteries and BMS. You have an excellent heatsink all around you, all you have to do is gather some of that water and use it to cool your electrical storage system! In the first instance, and assuming that you have a spare water strainer and two Tee Pieces for the raw water hoses in your engine room, you could utilise an oil cooler or heater matrix-size radiator from a car and attach one of your fans to it to push cooled sea-water temperature air over the equipment. For the time being, the use of a 12V pump and domestic water hose, lowered over the side (or through a window when at anchor) with a piece of cheesecloth/muslin/Ladies hose over the input hose as a strainer and passing through copper water pipe bent or using 90 degree bends to form a 100mm square would do until you have a scrapyard available! "Think outside the box, it is more fun that way."

[@MrMilothedog]

Put a louvered door on the Victron charger compartment. And some louvered vents/grate covers on the front of battery box area. And what is the status of your spiffy Dometic Air conditioner?

[@ELCADAROSA]

Mads, some tower style computers use evaporator coils for internal cooling. Just as an off-the-cuff thought, would installing a stainless-steel evaporator, and a pump that would pump seawater through the evaporator, work for you? Fans could be used to push or pull air through the evaporator. I realize installation would mean raising Athena out of the water long enough to install a through hull below the waterline, and an overboard discharge above the waterline. Thoughts?

[@aserta]

The coconut shell will splint later on. If you want to have one long term, you have to cut it with a hand saw (i know, massive pain in the bee hind) and then after relieving it of its contents, store it in the fridge for at least half a month. After, it will become shelf stable and you can sand it down and make it into a bowl. I have a bunch of them, one from each tropical country i've been in and the first few cracked, unfortunately. The idea doesn't belong to me, i found a tutorial online. PS: Ava's hack does work, and you could even do that in fiberglass, but you need to shape the screw (presumably they used a screw) such that it doesn't hook when it travels. It takes longer, but it does work and in a pinch, it's better than nothing. I broke the arbor on one of my bigger hole saws and i used that method to cut a hole in Aquaroc which is reinforced cement with fiberglass and other goodies. It worked very well. The shape of the screw i used (i used a 6mm metric one for it) was basically a diamond blade of about 2 mm thickness. I put my drill in low gear, high torque and first scored the path using my hand to turn the drill. The cut was clean, very clean considering that the Aquaroc is basically fiber in the first few layers.

[@lightningnick]

Hi Ava if you're using long-life milk you don't need to heat it, it's already been heat sterilized. yogurt also works great if not better with powdered milk.

[@Ianduncanqld1]

[@terrycavender]

Sweat box, sounds lovely..... 🙄 How well are you sleeping at night?

[@jimduke5545]

Mads-have you validated the temperature sensor that the REC uses? My 4 (Victron) LFP’s each have its own temp sensor and each reports an inaccurate temp by default. The software allows an offset input for calibration. I’m pretty sure the REC software also has a temperature offset variable. Good to hear positive on skypower. I went “blue” for insurance (and piece of mind) but your setup (REC/Winston) is awesome and was a close second in the risk/cost benefit trade space(s). Edit: oh, a multi tool makes a fair substitute for a jigsaw. There are cordless models out there. A dremel can also be used to widen a circle fairly accurately. Finish the cut with a round file and no one will ever see the imperfect circle😉. If you don’t have either, the $$ you save by not having a “one off” hole saw will make a good investment in a useful tool. (And buy more coconuts for Eva to make useful bowl thingys😂)

[@RobFomenko]

Mads that was the first time I've ever heard about charging lithium's when they're warm. I always thought it was just about not charging them when they were cold. I have six hundred amp hours of victron lithium batteries with the external BMS. It's in my cabinet where the washer and dryer used to be in my motorhome, fortunately there are louvers on the doors. It can get pretty warm in there when bulk charging. The batteries are at least seven or eight years old and still going strong. I have to admit that the yogurt thing got me thinking. I like to drink kefir, and I have an instapot, just have to get some starter. I wonder if I can make it with the commercially made kefer that I use with active cultures.... I gave all my hole saws away a few months ago. Thought I'll never use them again, and thought of it during the episode. Just think of it as a shakedown Cruise. At least the first year or two. But you should be extremely proud of what you've done with your warrior 38. She is a beauty. I like the way the bowl turned out. Although sanding a piece of coconut with 60 grit sandpaper does not sound like my idea of fun. As far as hurricane season goes, if it looks like it's going to be a busy season goes south, quiet, go North. Either way I think you'll enjoy it.

[@mckenziekeith7434]

You can charge them when they are warm. 35 C is ridiculously conservative for a boat in the tropics. The ambient temp inside the boat may hit 35 C. However, adding more ventilation is still a good idea.

[@markbernier8434]

Show Ava a Thai longtail; That ought to encourage her. Mads, you have reached the need for electrical items beyond hardware stores. Look for an Industrial Electrician or even the local power authority. You might find a secret stash of parts nobody else has ever heard of.

would be terrible for mads if someone just happened to give ava a ginger beer starter or a sourdough starter. the poor bloke would be forced to drink ginger beer and delicious bread as well as fresh yoghurt. fast charging for lithium is 2-45c over 45c you need to limit charging rate.

You guys are a riot. Totally living the sail life. My two favorite islands are tortilla and st. Barts. But there is so much do do island hoping and going around. Visiting the baths, buying lobster from Sydney. We spent a week during and after a hurricane on Tortolla, and it was still the most fun I’ve ever had. We had to put the boat in parakeeter bay and go into a room on the island for one night, but th islanders are prepaired for it.

[@masterv2118]

Due to your delay in posting videos you have already left but I do hope you went south and not north... The hurricane season in the islands is pretty much between August and September but the risk is low because the hurricanes tend to pass by Barbados's southerly location and hit the more northern islands in the Caribbean.

[@matthewgartner5339]

If you want to save some dishes, you can just put the milk directly into the Mason jar, and water in the pot. Just be sure there is a folded rag or a couple of Mason jar rings between the bottom of the pan and the jar. Bring the water up to a boil, and the milk follows suit. Take the jar out to cool. This will save dishes and if you're going to wash other dishes you'll already have hot water ready to go

[@ziggz2k]
