    How can I distinguish between chinook and sterling hop plants? Come harvest time I can do a
    three-way with known hops, but I'm curious if there's a way to positively ID them from leaves
    alone. Im almo...

    Nice! What kind of barley did you use and where did you buy it? I have a friend who's looking

    Which method for storage do you use Patthebrewer?

    choose to keep their yeasties viable, from stored slurry to slants. Google searching should
    yield you many...

    I had time yesterday so I took the brewery apart and checked all my thermocouple connections.
    Everything was wired correctly and snugly. Just for the sake of science, and because I had no

    I did purchase k thermocouple extension wire specifically for this purpose. I'll have to check
    out the wires this weekend. I do know that I tried hard to make sure that the wires were the
    same through...

    I wonder if I could source a k thermocouple with a six to eight foot long cord... This would

    Will crap. I don't think that the tet612 allows for rtd sensors. I left the PID on for about
    two hours tonight and it seemed to max out at about 30 degrees over ambient, but that was not
    with normal b...

    Hey all, I have set my pid farther away from my brewing area in anticipation of a future
    upgrade to something like a touch screen POS kinda thing. In order to make this work I had to
    extend the thermo...
