    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    sub'd I've been developing in Linux for over 10 years for work and just came across this thread. Hoping to build something similar soon.

    First few labels I've done

    I've also updated the full barn label I did earlier and created a new one for a black rye pale ale I plan on brewing soon.

    Created a new label for a Pale Ale I brewed for a friend. He came up with the name and label idea.

    DIY Beer Crate [24 - Sierra Nevada Bottles] Sketchup Plans

    I made some similar over the Christmas break last year. I wanted half cases that would fit grolsch bottles and bombers. I went ahead and made 10 - 1/2 cases and I'm glad I did because all are full now. Built them in sketchup first. I had an assembly line going to make all of the...

    First few labels I've done

    Thanks for the feedback MuddyCreek. Currently I'm only making a few labels for the bottles I give to friends so I'm not too concerned about mass labeling and ink. In terms of branding I probably should make the brewery logo standout a little more on the labels. One thing I was going to do is...

    First few labels I've done

    The labels are 5.5" x 2.75" or 1650 x 825 pixels at 300 ppi. I based the size off a 12 oz beer label on one of the bottles I had in the fridge. I can't remember which beer it was. I mostly use 22 oz bombers or 16 oz grolsch bottles. I haven't put a label on a bomber yet. If it looks funny I...

    When to Keg??

    I remember listening to a brew strong episode about fermentation. Kegs were not recommended to ferment in because of the height to width ratio of kegs being higher than a bucket or carboy which could stress the yeast. I believe osmotic pressure was the term used. Have you had any similar...

    Brewery Layout

    I've been to some with tvs and some without. I prefer the ones without tvs because there is usually more interaction between the patrons. One of the local ones added tvs to draw people during the Olympics giving drink specials every time a US athlete medaled during an event.

    Keg Pressure

    You should be fine. I usually allow a week for carbonating in a keg with the first day or two at ~30 psi. Do you know how many vols of co2 you're wanting? Based on that and your serving temperature you can set the carbonation pressure. It will continue to carbonate/de carbonate to reach your...

    Gimp. It's free from the gnu project. Similar to photoshop.

    First few labels I've done

    The brewery logo is sideways because when its wrapped around the bottle it will be seen with the brew on date. I wanted the brewery name for each label to be specific for that label because I didn't want the brewery name design to affect my label design for future labels. The Fennario label...

    First few labels I've done

    I created another label for the beer I'm brewing for this winter. I'm planning on doing a winter warmer with hazelnut and rosemary. I struggled with the name for a while but finally settled on Fennario. It's a reference to the Grateful Dead song Dire Wolf. Once I had the wolf, I decided it...
