Looks great!! :mug:

Just wanted to send out another update to this thread for those that are following. The Fermostat is now in production and shipping immediately. All of the Kickstarter and Pre-Sale orders have been fulfilled and units are in stock. If you unfamiliar, the Fermostat is a dual-stage...

Thanks! Yes they are IEC320 C14 sockets. However, the Fermostat ships with two power cords that plug into the C14 sockets and have a normal 15-5R receptacle on the other end, so it is the same as plugging in your fridge/heater into the wall. I did this to allow for multiple power adapter...

Just wanted to send out a quick reply to this post to anyone who has been following along. The Fermostat is getting very close retail completion. I have them up for pre-sale on my website for $124, which is a discount of 20% below the retail price. The plan is to start shipping later this...

Just a few more days left on the Kickstarter for this project! Now's the time if you're interested!

Wow! Talk about being late to the party!! I just came across this post. Thanks for the comments Huaco (and everyone one)! I'm super excited about the results so far on Kickstarter. I am optimistic that I can make the November ship date. It is possible that things can come up to delay this...

I just wanted to give a quick update on my Fermostat project. I've made some significant upgrades since I started working on this. The biggest update I've added recently is that it will have an SD Card slot to allow for data logging and external program creation. I hope to have a website up...

I have also put some thought into this... not an easy solution for sure. I was thinking about creating a container in place of your airlock that has a blow-off valve. The blow-off valve would trip at a certain pressure and then equalize once opened. You know the volume of your container...

Thanks! I certainly hope that is the case. I believe the price is going to be in the range of $130 or so.

Super cool project! I'm excited to see out it turns out!

1) Yes, you can set the rise temperature to whatever rate you wish. The way it works now is you set the temperature difference and the time it takes to get to that difference. So if you set the rate correctly, it can free rise to whatever you want it to be, then continue the program from...

Thanks! Very cool to see another KSU engineer beer brewer out there! :mug:

Hey all! I've mentioned this project before on this site, but it's been quite awhile and the project has migrated some since then. I am an electrical engineer and had an idea last year to design/build a programmable thermostat to control a fermentation device. It turned out really...

Thanks guys! I'm probably up to around $100 or so in parts for this guy, but part of that cost was taken up with buying multiple parts in order to find the correct one. Plus I purchased some spares of several of the "finicky" components just in case I let the smoke out of them during...

Due to a lack of viable options, I decided awhile back to create my own thermostat for my fermentation chamber. After looking at the options available, I wasn’t too excited about any of the temperature controllers I could find. The thought of having to update the temperature manually on a...

I'm trying to get a yeast harvest from a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. This is my first time attempting something like this. I boiled about 1/3 cup LME in a pint of water, let it cool to room temperature Sanitized a quart mason jar and added the wort, then drained the bottom sludge from 3 bottles...

It's clear that the answer here is to drink it faster!! :D

One of the beers is a blonde ale and the other is a pale ale that has a little higher alcohol content ~5.5%. It starts out at a subtle flavor fairly quickly, like a few weeks or so, then after a couple months, its very prevalent. Since it's over several recipes, I guess I'd have to say it...

Here ya go rup.... http://morebeer.com/public/pdf/off_flavor.pdf OK, so I guess I should have dug a little more before I posted... :( One thing that I was going to mention was that these last couple of batches were fermented during the summer and my house was warm, 75+ degrees, I'm...

It seems as if my beers are getting worse with age, its been several months and it seems as if they are getting an odd flavor that gets worse the longer it sits. It is kind of a tart or bitter flavor. I have noticed this the last several batches that I have made. This could have always been...
