I'm in the process of aging my first sour. After moving to the secondary 5 gallon glass carboy. I have about 4.25 gallons, so the top of the fill line hasn't reached where it becomes narrow. Should I top this off with some fresh wort? Or just leave it be? I should add this is a 1.050 pale sour...

I've been kegging for some a long time now. However, I've run into some problems with co2 leaks over the past year. Is there any devices that can give a warning when leak is present? Perhaps I should post this on the DYI board and make something.

Bryce what was the outcome. I'm seeing some simular behaviors.... dtfeld. Are you saying if this powers up with the SSR 5v not hooked up correctly, it will fail "on" and no matter what you do. Even if you wire it correctly after power up?

Great! I was just double checking. I wanted to make sure all my hardware was there before soldering. Yes, I found I needed to do that with the light weight proto button. It was an odd awakening seeing the interrupt trip without me pressing the button.

I'm in the process of making a control box for a RIMs system. I recently got some plugs & receptacles that I'm planning on using as a 110V plug. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00002NAT2/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003B8V4E4/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20...

I'm working on an Arduino device and want to hook up one of the digital inputs to a button like this: http://www.ebrewsupply.com/shop/indicators-switches/push-buttons/mushroom-no-switch.html This would be hooked up to a 5v circuit, not a 110v circuit. However, I'm wondering if this would...

Thanks for the reassurance. You answered my main concern, which is what sort of resolution the Arduino's PID software needs for a RIMS.

I'm thinking about using a DS18B20 for a RIMS system that is driven by an Arduino. How frequent should the Arduino's PID sample the DS18B20? As fast as it can? or if there was some downside with back to back temperature reading cycles? Just seeing what other people use. If I should be looking...

Perhaps an easy question, but couldn't find much on my initial searches. The DS18B20 that I received in the mail has a small wire attached to it (1 meter). I'm assuming I can extend this with some initial wire. Is this a correct assumption? Also any special wire? Can use something...

I left it open ended on purpose. I didn't want my plans to limit or guide what people had to say they would do differently.

I'm just about to take the plunge and start my RIMS build. However, I was wondering if any RIMS users could share if there was anything they wished they could have done differently?

Some videos of VT breweries including Alchemist. Will be on the air tonight on VPT http://www.vpt.org/show/20158/0

hmmm, don't be quick to blame NHC. The address lines up with Keystone Homebrewing supply's address on their web page. Maybe the "mailcopyplus" needs to update their software database. http://www.keystonehomebrew.com/our-locations/

I sent in a request to wyeast lab to sell the conan yeast. I got a nice response on how they were reminded of the great beers of the east coast and they may think of doing a yeast strain or two. Perhaps if some of others from time to time request it, we could see another supplier of this strain.

I did a search, so I think it's not the hop spider. But just asking if anyone else has had off-flavors with a stainless hop spider. I was trying to see if anyone else had this. I recently brewed an IPA that had a caramely/toffee taste. It's not diacetyl, I'm fairly certain of that. I wasn't...

Original quote Darwin18 replied to: "Each test batch was just sampled and it had the same honey-like or caramel flavor as the body of the beer and a sweetness that people classify almost as buttery" This is interesting because I just did a search for hop spider & caramel and found this. I was...

I believe that the Vermont Pub & Brewery, where Kimmich was connected with, had the Conan as a house strain. So it would be VT P&B, not Kimmich, that would probably own the rights. This would not be cost effective since they would have to prove that they developed this yeast, higher lawyers, and...

I'm not to sure about that. For instance, apples & seeds have been patented (Honeycrisp apple, Monisanto seeds) But those are plants that have been cultivated by companies that want to be rewarded for their R&D to come up with these varieties. Funny. I just looked at Monisanto's web...

A better approach would be to enter the helles if it's a good helles. If it's more like a Dortmunder, enter it as a Dortmunder. Enter it as what it turned out to be, not what you wanted/planned it to be. I may get slammed for this... There are styles that overlap, by all means, feel free to...

Not actually true. Each site did it differently. They have the results now online. I made it the next round, but only had mini-BOS marked, no placed marked.
