Brewmaster 14.5 gallon SS brew kettle with spigot, 4 Big Mouth Bubblers, about 3 cases of bottles, different sizes, about a dozen plastic bottle cases, some old raggedy Coke cases, some nice Falstaff cases, hops spider, immersion coil chiller, "no chill" cube jug, about 70 lbs grain, various...

Thanks, everybody, but I tossed the ispindel. I am too busy to diddle with it when the Tilt just works.

I managed to get brewspy to work on an android phone. Honestly it seems a lot more trouble than it is worth, when I have lots of old phones and I can easily dedicate one to running a Tilt. I don't use temp control, just need to check the gravity and temp once a day or so. Dont need graphs, don't...

NOOOOOOO!!!!! I feel like such a troll. Not exactly a typo I was just wrong. I don't know why my brain just dropped a buck from the price. $3.19, sorry. And the corner store just went up another dime to $3.29. No line at THEIR pumps. A few places are just under $3 as of yesterday.

I got my 50lb bag of Briess 2-row from NB yesterday. They boxed up the whole bag and sent it intact. Looks good. At $69.99 shipped, it's about as cheap as I can expect, living so far from any of the big maltsters or a mega-LHBS.

Keep it for now. I have never been happy with a bottled beer that had less than two weeks conditioning and some of the bottles I am drinking now at the new house (we still live in the old house and this is where my kegerator is) have been in the bottle for over 6 months and they are pretty good...

No-chill should work nicely in cold climates. Just remember to rescue your wort before it freezes! Plastic wrap around the kettle/lid gap should help but some air will still get sucked in if there is any headspace at all. I would get one of the 5 gallon HDPE "cube" jugs. Fill it absolutely to...

Oh, I totally believe you. I just figured since you pay almost 4x for gas, you should probably pay almost 4x for malt, too. Actually it is getting outrageous here again. $2.19/gallon today when I filled up. Mrs. Monster works for Shell so you would think we would get a discount but NOOOOOoooooo....

Under a buck a pound, shipped? I am consumed with burning jealousy. I could make a 5% beer for about $.10/pint, at those prices.

I haven't got it yet but I think they actually split the sack up into two packages to avoid the 50lb+ surcharge on the shipping. Anyway I think it's a pretty good deal. My LHBS is okay, but when I buy base malt from them, neither one of us is really doing the other any favors. I had been buying...

Briess 2 row is $69.99 for 50lb sack, free shipping, from Northern Brewer. That works out $1.40/lb, not too shabby. I got one on the way now.

Yeah I do. I tried Ubidots first. I am at the new house though, and the computer I used and the iSpindle are at the old house. I will post screenshots this evening.

Yeah I get that page. Sometimes. When I am connected directly to the device via wifi and not through the network, and I point my web browser at 168.192.1.4 I think it was. And yeah I run Ubuntu on all my computers. Well, except the RPi's which are running Raspbian. I'm on one of them right now...

I KNEW it was a good idea to ask before buying a bag! Thanks.

So a pound of malt with a DP of 620 could convert 12lb of non-diastatic adjunct grain? Using Enzyme Malt - Viking Malt | MoreBeer as an example.
