Note from HBF: Make sure the components you use are compatible and rated for your intended application.  Contact manufacturer with questions about suitability or a specific application.  Always read and follow manufacturer directions.

 

Using a Flow Meter For Increased Repeatability

Most regulators that homebrewers use for oxygenating wort are simple setups – Example – via William’s Brewing.  They attach to disposable oxygen tanks (typically sourced from a local hardware store) and are little more than on and off valves.  No gauges, no pressure control (other than the degree to which you open and close the valve) and no flow control.

Time and rate give you an idea of how much oxygen you’re really adding to your wort.  Time is easy to track.  Rate, not so much, at least with typical homebrew O2 regulators.  If you want more or less oxygen for your next batch, it’s mostly a guessing game.

Enter a flow meter.  This particular model has a range of 0 to 5 LPM.  This model also appears to have an knob that allows you to adjust the flow rate.  Note: .6 MPa is about 87 PSI.

With both time and flow rate you can establish a more reliable baseline to work off of.  This information should also help you to get better repeatability between brews.

Note that these are typically used for medical applications.  I’m not sure what the barb size is.  You will need to figure out tubing and connections to a compatible regulator and aeration/oxygenation stone.

Pro for over 20 years, the world-class traditions of German engineering and craftsmanship are reflected in these tanks. And, after examining tanks built by every major manufacturer worldwide, we can safely say that when it comes to features, quality, and price, these tanks represent the very best value available in stainless steel beer storage.

Safely store small volumes of product in these beautiful tanks. The legs make accessing the ports easy and the convenient top hatch makes cleaning a dream when combined with the 2R interior finish. Heavy-duty sealing mechanism and gasket form a seal on top with a stainless steel lid equipped with a T.C. port for adding accessories or an airlock. The inside is finished to Speidel quality standards with flawless welds and a 2R finish.

The tanks will support a few PSI of pressure, however, they are not pressure-rated or designed to be used under pressure.

Tank Ports
Tanks feature 1.5″ T.C. outlets (1 on bottom for complete drainage, one in middle for racking arm, one on top for blowoff/airlock), and also two welded DIN fittings. One DIN port is equipped with an included sample valve and the other has an included thermometer and thermowell combination. The cooling jackets have two 1” NPT ports.

Warranty – Speidel and MoreWine! Pro back up each and every tank with an industry-leading 25-year warranty against defects in materials or workmanship.
Thickness – Speidel tanks are on average around 25% thicker than Italian-manufactured tanks of the same general capacity and dimensions.

MoreBeer must be clearing out some of their conicals because this is the third stellar deal I’ve found lately. These are marked down a whopping $800 to $999.99.

Note that previous conical deals have been quick sellouts. I’d act sooner than later on this one as I don’t expect it to last long

Hands On Review: Inkbird ITC-308 Dual Stage Temperature Controller

Updated: November 14, 2024

Inkbird’s ITC-308 Digital Dual Stage Temperature Controller is a dual stage, pre-wired Digital Temperature Controller

The ITC-308 comes in the original version as well as an updated Wi-Fi enabled model.  This review covers both editions of this controller.

Why a Temp Controller?

Temperature controllers, sometimes referred to as over-riding thermostats, can control devices like refrigerators, freezers and fermentation heating devices to provide a consistent temperature for your kegerator, fermentation chamber or brew system. They do this by monitoring the temperature and cycling on and off the device in question. Generally, you will set the device to full cooling or heating power and the temperature controller takes over from there.

Dual vs Single Stage

Dual stage means that the ITC-308 can control both a heating and cooling device.  Alternatively, it can control a heating or a cooling device.  This controller displays in Fahrenheit and Centigrade.  Dual Display shows both measured and set temperature.

Kveik Strains – Ferment Clean at Warmer Temps – Imperial Lokia, Hornindal & Bootleg Biology OSLO & More

Updated: November 1, 2024

Kveik yeasts ferment clean lager like beers at higher ale temperatures.


About LalBrew® Voss Kveik Ale Yeast: Kveik, the original, traditional dry beer yeast! Kveik is a Norwegian word meaning yeast. In the Norwegian farmhouse tradition, kveik was preserved by drying and passed from generation to generation. The LalBrew Voss strain was obtained from Sigmund Gjernes (Voss, Norway), who has maintained this culture using traditional methods since the 1980s and generously shared it with the wider brewing community. LalBrew Voss Kveik supports a wide range of fermentation temperatures between 77-104°F with a very high optimal range of 95-104°F. Very fast fermentations are achieved within the optimal temperature range with full attenuation typically achieved within 2-3 days. The flavor profile is consistent across the entire temperature range: neutral with subtle fruity notes of orange and citrus. Flocculation is very high producing clear beers without filtration or use of process aids.
