I have an email out to Jim but I thought I'd post here to see if anyone else knows of the solution to this issue. I just booted up my new box with 10x switches and 1x temp probe connected. At first nothing was recognized and I was at a bit of a loss. After some troubleshooting I have...

Just picking up the parts to attempt to install a 2" TC ferrule into my kettles. I was just wondering what everyone else has used? I'm planning on using this for my dimple tool: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004EHGE3W/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 This for my flux/solder...

Thanks again for all the info, just bought all the pieces for the mill in our new nanobrewery tonight. Can't wait to try it out!

OK more software questions. Trying to get the LCD to work. I've soldered up the first LCD board, I did add the pullup resistors. I've jumpered the 5v and 3v3 pins and also added the 5v power select shunt on the board. I don't have any switches activated and I have no address pins jumpered so...

Awesone, thanks a lot! My BS170's finally came in so I got them all installed and am starting to try and configure the software now. I have the following problems: -I can't get my wireless internet to connect. The first problem was that my wlan adapter was at wlan1 not wlan0, so I changed all...

Just getting all my components trickling in from ebay finally, and just starting to assemble. I'm still waiting on a few parts that are here tomorrow before I can get it up and running, but in the meantime I had a few questions. I didn't want to keep barraging Jim with questions so I thought I'd...

So our brew club just started and we made a pretty typical mistake of starting off too small. There's about 15 of us and we decided to do 3x 15 gallon batches per month. We went with 3x 100qt pots and 3x coleman coolers for mash tuns. We want to scale up production and do 1 brew per week, but...

Awesome, thanks for the info! I'll maybe try 1/2 with oak and 1/2 without then, and report my findings.

Brewed a triple batch of this as part of our new brew club on Saturday (none of us had done AG, most of us hadn't even brewed). We used the grain bill found on the brew365 site, and mashed at 153 for 60 min. Hit our OG of 1.080 and everything tastes great and seems to be fermenting well (it's in...

Made a triple batch of this on our first brew club brew day (no one had done all grain before, and only a handful of us had brewed at all). Went great, smells great, samples tasted great! Fermenting nicely in the demi-john and the carboy in front of it. I'll keep you all updated, I can't wait to...

Brewing up a triple batch of this on the weekend, can someone double check my starter numbers for me? I'm going to do 4L at 1.04, cold crash and decant, then do another 4L at 1.04, giving me 1328 billions cells, or about 19.5 millions cells/mL if all goes to plan? I have a 5L erlenmeyer and...

I've had similar batches using Nottingham in the past which had some krausen but it wasn't too bad. I just made this last batch with dry pitched cooper's and had a a huge krausen though, enough to make 21L in a 6 gallon carboy need a blowoff tube. I'd say leave a decent headspace and throw a...

Don't worry too much, just did this here in Ontario. I used Allan's apple juice (88cents/1.05L can, cheap! Just use a decent apple juice from the grocery store, should be pasteurized and have no other ingredients but apple juice, and maybe Vitamin C (ascorbic acid)) and you can get Nottingham...

Did you hot or cold steep the tea? How many bags did you use? I was planning on adding nutmeg berries and whole cloves but I might go this route instead, very interested!
