Here is the link to the beerbug demo we did at the weekend -

I think I have set it up correctly .. first time using it so ..

Only just got it working correctly and registered - so give it a day to get some data.

Pat_buttercups

thats priddy damn cool man

Partridge9

To be honest - I not 100% its calibrated properly - wont know until the next brew.

but the temperature readings should be interesting, I have an STC on the outside of the fermentor set to 20C and the probe for the bug is in the centre - so that should be interesting.

Tom

That's pretty darn cool! Looks like you pitched a yeast starter, then? Or is some data missing?

Partridge9

Tom, I pitched another us05 as I wasn't seeing bubbles in the airlock, probably didn't need to, I would nt trust the gravity readings this brew, I only learned how to properly calibrate the thing once the brew was going.

molc

I love data :D Must. Resist. The. Urge.
Fermenting: IPA, Lambic, Mead
Conditioning: Lambic, Cider, RIS, Ole Ale, Saison
On Tap: IPA, Helles, Best Bitter

Tom

I see. Well, I'll keep my eyes on the next one then. You'll be reviewing it soon, I presume/hope?

Partridge9

A Review - Absolutely - give it another brew so I know exactly all the pitfalls etc ..

Tom

If you can make it sound like something I really don't need, that would be helpful! ;)

Here is batch two on the beer bug - properly calibrated this time.
