Last night I moved my keg of IPA from my basement fridge to my keezer on the first floor. While in the basement, I carbed the keg by setting to 12psi and forgetting about it for 10 days. I have 10ft of line and I seemed to get a perfect pour while in the basement. After moving the keg to my...

Sorry for the long post, you might want to top off your beer again before sitting down to this one. I have a habit of confusing others with my poor wording. So I have designed my first revision of a temperature controller board. It connects to 8 mini temperature sensor boards I designed...
