Quick test....will let it run overnight. The overnight low is supposed to be about 30f.

grantmichaels · Dec 19, 2015

Cool! Data is the ultimate lingua franca ...

tctenten · Dec 20, 2015

There you go....pretty constant.

Grant is there a way to change the time interval of the graphs on the Igrill2?

grantmichaels · Dec 20, 2015

I don't think so, but that temp is probably more stable than a refrigerator ...

tctenten · Dec 20, 2015

Yup. Basement are pretty cool. My guess is the range was from 64-67f over a 12 hour period.

I used it once and really liked it as I used it for it's intended purposes.

The second time I used it for my last batch of beer.....ooops....read the directions. Thankfully I always use two thermometers just too make sure.

The probes are not intended to be submerged. So I am on my second set of probes, but that was user error.

Agreed. I have both now.

This set up worked nice for me. Any drips or spills went right into the sink. I was able to get 19 bottles of beer out of this 2 gallon batch.

Very nice. When you get it setup for "you" and get a system down, bottling is pretty simple.

grantmichaels · Dec 26, 2015

Nice!

Agreed. The most time consuming part is sanitizing everything prior to the process. I am going to let these sit for three weeks before I try one.

Nice to be home. Finishing the last few bottles of Summer Wheat.

grantmichaels · Jan 1, 2016

I bet

Packing up some seasonal cheer right now ...

tctenten · Jan 1, 2016

It was a nice trip, but glad to be home. Going to be a weekend of drinking and relaxing.

Here too ...

Haven't decided if I'll enter my meal, but I'm definitely making one more oven-pie (have dough and cheese etc) tonight, and having freshly ground short-rib and chuck burgers tomorrow ...

Beer now and all throughout, of course ...

:cheers:

Getting ready to brew my last kit. Chocolate Maple Porter.

grantmichaels · Jan 2, 2016

The mash has begun. The Thermapen is the real deal. Super quick.
