Except that yeast is a bit sticky and would probably cling on no matter what shape the top is.
Ideally it would be weighted so it sits half way down the fermenting wort. A bit impossible though, I suspect!

A full-on submersible? I was only thinking semi-submersible. I guess by comparison to you I've only got my nose in the clouds.guypettigrew wrote: ↑Fri Oct 25, 2019 3:28 pm… Ideally it would be weighted so it sits half way down the fermenting wort. A bit impossible though, I suspect!
I can monitor progress without needing to "interfere" with the beer - no need to take any sample as the Tilt is continuously reporting on SG and temperature.guypettigrew wrote: ↑Mon Apr 27, 2020 2:38 pmI remain confused by the Tilt. If you're also using a refractometer, what's the point of the Tilt?
As Peebee has very ably demonstrated, there are significant problems with the Tilt. Yeast build up on the top of it being the most obvious.

Beautifully put!
This seems a little harsh.
I didn't think I was being "harsh", realistic perhaps and I was still able to say the Tilt was "useful", you just need a good idea of its issues.
The estimate is 6-May to 1-June (it's coming from China).guypettigrew wrote: ↑Tue Apr 28, 2020 1:14 pmGosh, Peebee, it seems ages ago you talked about getting a pycnometer! When do you reckon you'll get one? …
