I want to share my method for monitoring mash temperature more accurately and with (arguably) less hassle. I'm in the process of developing an automated HERMS brewing rig, as a preliminary step I've created a mash monitor program which I've introduced in the thread HERE. Tonight I brewed...

I just wanted to share my first version of my Mash Monitoring software. It has been written in DAQFactory for use with a Labjack U3-HV which I will be using to monitor/control a HERMS brewing rig. The upper left shows the mashtun with both temperature sensors (diode zenners). I also...

Here is a label for my APA. Please let me know what you think, and how I can make it better.

I'm pumped! Today my kegerator conversion kit got here from beveragefactory. AND I got an email this morning from best buy saying I get 10% off on all purchases today. so I just ordered my Sanyo 4912 for $170 :ban: I will get it built tonight after i get back from my brewers...
