it's been a while now, and further thoughts on the device? How is it for measuring gas? Did you make any progress hacking it for kegs?

oh sweet, my googlefu didn't find this one, thanks!

Has anyone here written (or do you know where to find) a pid library in Python than can easily be repurposed into new projects? I'm hacking up the raspibrew code I found for my own needs because I haven't tried to figure out how pull just the pid library out.

I just found this hydro grow shop in Louisville exchanges 20lb tanks for $12.95... ahhh colorado.. http://victoryhydro.com/co2-price-reduced-12-95-refills Makes me want to replace my 5lb with a 20lb...

holy moly that's a lot of psi. My better half loves having seltzer on tap so typically i have one serving and one carbing, i do both at about 35psi and it's perfect

It's probably in some other threads on coffee+beer but surprised no one mentioned this here. Avoid the sludge with Toddy's method of cold brewing. It's soooo good... http://www.toddycafe.com/shop/product.php?productId=67 Basically is just a big plastic pitcher that you let the coffee...

Curious how this one turned out too

I'm going to be scouting out a reclaimed building materials place for a cabinet that will fit a few carboys. If I come up short, I'm curious what does all the wood cost at a big box store for a basic build like this?

Nice build! Looks not overly engineered, i like. I totally get why you would do it this way, but the electricians here will complain about the male-male power cable feeding the thing. theory being if you unplug it from the chamber, you then have a hot cable dangling. Nitpicky....but...

regarding humidity - it's perfect for my area here in Colorado. We use a evaporative cooler for the house instead of central air.

i came across that video today and thought the same thing!! wonder if a smaller "cold" chamber and fans directing air in/out the fermentation chamber would work better - like some of you guys make for tubs of ice.

add me to the list.... brewed this as my first all grain!

i had discoloration on an electric stove in my last apartment (and didnt get charged, phewwww....). We now have a house with a flat glass top stove that is mostly black. If i used it just for mash tun pre heat water and not the full boil, would you expect any problems?

i was worried about it being overhyped. but yes, it is worth it. i wouldn't do it too often, and i wouldn't stand in line every year for it, but every once in a while hell yeah.

Thanks for the heads up, that's my town!
