Re: ANGELHOMEBREW - TILT Hydrometer and Repeater Back in Stock
Does anyone use one of these? I am struggling to understand why... Is it not just a case of tech for tech's sake?
Re: ANGELHOMEBREW - TILT Hydrometer and Repeater Back in Stock
Isn't all technology for technologies sake? Us human's just like building things that are better than current offerings. TVs; do we need them? Cars; do we need them? Hydrometers; weren't they originally just technology for technologies sake?
Tilts have their issues, attaching to rafts of yeast which build up and distort readings. But they do a job of keep curious fingers out of the fermenting beer. So FG readings might be a few points out, just use a different tool when the time comes (note I said "different tool" and not "hydrometer" which I personally don't own: Useless, fragile, bits of glass that are nearly impossible to read ...).
This is my Tilt that only arrived this morning (in a bucket of water, displayed using a TiltPi, not calibrated yet):

Don't know if Paul at ANGELHOMEBREW sells them yet? My impatience got the better of me and I ordered direct from the States.
I'm finding it does tend to drift a bit, hardly surprising as it's trying to measure tenths of a gravity point! (And tenths of degrees Celsius rather than halves). It's chunky, but most of its mass is beneath the surface so should be better immune from accumulating yeast.

Re: ANGELHOMEBREW - TILT Hydrometer and Repeater Back in Stock
My takeaway from that was "tech for tech's sake that isn't accurate".
Surely after a few brews you know where it is by looking.

Re: ANGELHOMEBREW - TILT Hydrometer and Repeater Back in Stock
My fermenters are stainless steel and sealed. No, I can't tell by "looking". But: Save some (a lot of) money and don't get one!
If you don't know why you'd need one, you don't need one. There is no need trying to tell people who do think they do need one that they don't, or you can end up arguing with me which is surely not good for anyone's "mental health" (mine will be safe ... or presumably it's safe wherever it got too?).
I'm sure Paul (Angel Homebrew) will be very happy to supply those folk who do think they need one.
I don't think further argument on the subject should be continued in the "suppliers" section of this "market place".

I've never seen an FV with a lid that cannot be removed. How on earth do you get the wort into it ?

Not got the Pro, don’t think was available last time I ordered but do need to reorder soon

Re: ANGELHOMEBREW - TILT Hydrometer and Repeater Back in Stock
They are really popular
Sure it’s not for everyone and is a bit of a gadget, certainly not essential
Must confess I’m a bit of gadget person, I love these.
Years ago I was hounding manufacturer in US for them before they were available U.K. and he was only selling in US and was first U.K. to import and sell these
Now of-course everyone sells them which is to be expected
You can setup to see a gravity reading and a temp reading anywhere anytime on your phone and can set up to plot temp and gravity over the whole fermentation timeline. And not need to take a sample to achieve this and then potential problems with doing that
In my mind it’s awesome, but equally fully understand it’s not for everyone
Re: ANGELHOMEBREW - TILT Hydrometer and Repeater Back in Stock
I have one of the 2nd generation tilt hydrometers. In the plastic fermenter (fermentasaurus) inside the fermentation fridge it works a treat connected to a raspberry pi zero W running the tilt pi app; I’m able to generate a plot of the fermentation progress so I can see when fermentation has finished (then take a FG reading with glass hydrometer).
However, with my SS conical, the Bluetooth connection doesn’t work so I have to manually take “readings” via my smartphone (still means I don’t need to remove any wort from the fermenter).
I’m a bit loathe to buy the repeater that they sell (maybe sell my SS conical and go back to the fermentasaurus? ), but it would probably work.
The tilt Pro looks as though it might also solve this radio propagation issue, but looks a tad dear too.
Boys’ toys, eh?
