Very fine work Yuri, thank you again for all the hard work into this project! You've raised the bar for all of us in terms of your contributions to HBT. I only hope that I can help 1/10th of the people that you have helped and continue to help.

When you sanitized your BB, did I see correctly that you've commandeered a lawn/garden sprayer for your sanitizer applicator? That's a neat idea, a way to one-up the ol' spray bottle.

To answer a few questions and make the series a little more complete, here are another three videos I uploaded previously:

(with my garden sprayer. Yup, chriso, you saw correctly. The sprayer has never had anything but Star San solution in it.)

That sprayer looks like it saves you a TON in sanitizer costs. I've been grieving my poor sanitizer efficiency - I only have 2 oz left in my 16 oz bottle that I bought at the end of September. I need to restock, and more importantly, I need to dump less sanitizer. I think kegging will help this immensely though - because then I can keep a sanitizer keg, and push it back and forth instead.

Thanks for the idea!

Awesome videos! Thanks for taking the time and sharing, definitely great info for someone who has not gone AG yet. Whose I/O hardware and software are you using? As an industrial controls engineer that was my favorite part of your setup! After the steam generator of course.

I'm using an Arduino microcontroller board as a serial comm conduit to feed temperature and pressure information to the laptop, and to receive on/off state data and control solid state relays. I wrote the software you see on the laptop in Java using the NetBeans IDE and RxTx serial comm library.

Nice job! I am not familiar with Arduino, I'll do a litlle research. Looks like it works pretty well.

Definitely a sticky series. Very very impressive and hats off to you Yuri for producing this series of videos. This will boost a tremendous number of newbies and oldies to better brewing.
