So, is this likely to be stable enough to tuck away the Raspberry Pi away in an enclosure and do everything through a webserver? I'm sort of dreading the idea of occasionally dragging out a monitor and keyboard to reboot/relaunch software/etc.

Has anyone gotten a fairly fast RO system and stuffed it into a bucket or some kind of container and made it easy to hook up a RV hose and run the output right into the HLT/MLT to prep for a brew day? I usually have a solid hour or 2 (or more) of real prep, and a 150gpd RO system from Buckeye...

+20 Total = 25,375 (wow.)

In!

1.5 cups of diluted star san is absolutely not a problem in several gallons of liquid. Don't worry about it.

Well, here's mine. Now you've seen at least one single tier with 3 burners. I batch sparge most of the time. By the time I'm draining the first runnings into the BK, I have the BK fired and the HLT has my sparge water up to temp and waiting to pump into the MLT. Works great, impossible without...

I'm in Litchfield, about 10 minutes from Medina. Always happy to bring a keg or two somewhere.

Absolutely fantastic. Keep it coming!

I've got a micromatic stainless stout faucet, and I was wondering if anybody's had success making or finding a commercially available faucet cover. I use the cap-a-tap rubbery plastic type for my other faucets and love them, but I hate to leave the stout faucet sitting open to the air. If all...

Definitely in on this :)

I've got the thermoworks mini thermocouple handheld. I've been pretty happy with it. It's very accurate in an ice bath (check out that linked thermoworks proper ice bath link) and it's a lot more versatile than the thermopen. Later on I picked up a Therma-K, and I like it even more. If you...

You would need a pretty intense amount of star san in a bottle to kill any yeast. Remember that star san is safe when it's in the correct dilution, adding in 12oz of beer diluted it dramatically.

I've got a 50' stainless 3/8" chiller from NY Brew Supply (and I know 2 other people who have chillers from them). My impression is that the chillers are very well done and the tubing is unimpressive. I wouldn't consider to be particularly tragic considering the awesome price. Swapped out to...

Adding to this. I have had nothing but amazing service from them with well over $300 on parts.

I've been using this theme for a while. The beer version of the label is a shaker pint rather than an apple, and the beer in the shaker pint is the general color of the beer inside. The wave things are just some sort of nicely contrasting color, generally.
