    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    So, is this likely to be stable enough to tuck away the Raspberry Pi away in an enclosure and do everything through a webserver? I'm sort of dreading the idea of occasionally dragging out a monitor and keyboard to reboot/relaunch software/etc.

    Making a 150gpd RO system quick-connect/portable?

    Has anyone gotten a fairly fast RO system and stuffed it into a bucket or some kind of container and made it easy to hook up a RV hose and run the output right into the HLT/MLT to prep for a brew day? I usually have a solid hour or 2 (or more) of real prep, and a 150gpd RO system from Buckeye...

    Is StarSan foam in carboy bad?

    1.5 cups of diluted star san is absolutely not a problem in several gallons of liquid. Don't worry about it.

    Single tier - why not 2 burner

    Well, here's mine. Now you've seen at least one single tier with 3 burners. I batch sparge most of the time. By the time I'm draining the first runnings into the BK, I have the BK fired and the HLT has my sparge water up to temp and waiting to pump into the MLT. Works great, impossible without...

    Looking for a faucet cover/fruit fly cover for a stout faucet

    I've got a micromatic stainless stout faucet, and I was wondering if anybody's had success making or finding a commercially available faucet cover. I use the cap-a-tap rubbery plastic type for my other faucets and love them, but I hate to leave the stout faucet sitting open to the air. If all...

    Opinion/Reviews Needed on: Mini Handheld Thermocouple Meter

    I've got the thermoworks mini thermocouple handheld. I've been pretty happy with it. It's very accurate in an ice bath (check out that linked thermoworks proper ice bath link) and it's a lot more versatile than the thermopen. Later on I picked up a Therma-K, and I like it even more. If you...

    Star san concentration too high while sanitizing bottles. Should I worry?

    You would need a pretty intense amount of star san in a bottle to kill any yeast. Remember that star san is safe when it's in the correct dilution, adding in 12oz of beer diluted it dramatically.

    Looking for feedback on NY Brew Supply 50' IC

    I've got a 50' stainless 3/8" chiller from NY Brew Supply (and I know 2 other people who have chillers from them). My impression is that the chillers are very well done and the tubing is unimpressive. I wouldn't consider to be particularly tragic considering the awesome price. Swapped out to...

    Adding to this. I have had nothing but amazing service from them with well over $300 on parts.

    Show Us Your Label

    I've been using this theme for a while. The beer version of the label is a shaker pint rather than an apple, and the beer in the shaker pint is the general color of the beer inside. The wave things are just some sort of nicely contrasting color, generally.

    Star San solution in fermenter

    Nope, it won't cause any problems at all. It will be far, far out of solution and completely neutralized.

    Jamil's Weizenbock for Thanksgiving?

    Pitch a lot of yeast, oxygenate well and control the fermentation well (I would probably pitch at 66-67, hold it for 2 days, rise to 69-70 and let it sit for 2 weeks), chill the carboy overnight, rack it to a keg and throw it back into the fridge to carbonate at 30 psi, then down to serving...

    What does your LHBS do to keep you coming back?

    I go to Grape and Granary in Akron, OH. They have vaguely acceptable prices, I mostly go there because I'm always on a fairly tight schedule and forget to order from NB or MoreBeer or the like ahead of time. The staff seems pretty knowledgeable about their products (like knowing SRM off the...
