I like the idea of no-chill a lot. What if I went from the brewpot directly into a corny keg and sealed it with CO2. Then the next day I can push it out with CO2 into my fermenter and pitch the yeast. Does anyone see a downside or risk to doing it this way?

That's a great idea! If I made a Puppy Linux 'Pupet'(sp?) it would run on just about anything. Great for a brewery computer.

Rocketman, Again I can't tell you how great it is to finally get some good open source brewing software for Linux. I have successfully compiled it on Ubuntu 9.10, Xubuntu 9.10 & Freebsd 8.0. Next I am going to try to compile it on my "new" Puppy Linux machine that I am putting in the...
