Set up spunding valve after pressurizing fermenter set for 13psi. Tilt is showing 1.043 as OG. I just replaced the battery and calibrated it in water but maybe should have calibrated it in a sugar solution to get it to same as my hydrometer. I'll do that after this beer is done. In the meantime the values may be off but should still show how the fermentation is going. |

I've got a super slow leak somewhere so the pressure fell to about 6psi overnight. I've simplified my spunding valve to reduce the number of connections and redid the few that are left. It may be the ball lock post that I added to the fermenter. Not sure will have to do some more testing. |

This morning all the Star San was pushed out of the Corny so the pressure had gotten up over the 11psi mark (what I had set the spunding valve) so the yeast has started to do its job and the connections held pressure enough for that. The current pressure is down around 10 so still a slow leak and the fermentation slowed a bit I'm guessing? At least I got enough CO2 thru the spunding valve to purge the keg. |

Was pegged at 11psi and was pushing CO2 thru the keg and out to the bucket where it was bubbling pretty good. Didn't want to jinx myself so I left it alone and didn't crank up the pressure. |

Checked the pressure while swapping out the 2L bottles of ice in the cooler. Looked like it was at 11.5psi. If it is still holding this kind of pressure tonight I'll tempt fate and try to get it up to 14.7 (1bar) where it should be. |

Pressure was solid at 11 so adjusted to spunding valve so would be approx 14.7 and decided to also lower the temp a bit to see if my setup could handle it. The pressure settled at 15psi and I figured that was close enough. Set the temp to 57. |

Pressure is still solid at 15psi so will keep that. The temp had gone up to about 59 overnight so two 2L bottles of ice wont do it will have to up the ice to keep 57. Will get more 2L bottles to freeze. |

Oops the temp got away from me. Yikes. Two bottles just won't do it in this heat. Will try to get more bottles so can use 3 or 4. |

Temp control is getting out of hand. The ice isn't lasting. I could try to up the number of 2L bottles but the space in the freezer is limited. I'm also leaving for the weekend so there will be no one to swap out the bottles. I've been thinking of punching a hole in the side of my keg fridge for a while so I'm just going do it and see if having a water reservoir (5gal bucket) in the fridge with the sump pump will do it in place of the cooler w/ 2L bottles of ice. |

Temp has been steady overnight. Granted it was cooler than the night before so we'll see today if the heat will overwhelm the new system. |
