In my wife's chocolate oatmeal stout recipe, we use cocoa powder at flameout and nibs in primary, and vanilla bean in secondary. We think the cocoa powder gives a lighter flavor, the nibs give a darker richer flavor and the vanilla elevates it all.

Smaw meaning stick welding (shielded metal arc welding) ... Better to start with than oxy-acetylene. But again, problem is realizing when you have a welding that's good. I've seen and made a TON of welds that looked great, and looked solid, but absolutely did not pass a destructive test... You...

Tig mainly requires different equipment, and costs more, and requires Argon and such, and is more touchy, honestly. MIG is easier (and easier to screw up), flux core (basically MIG without gas) is cheapest and about as easy as MIG, and just as easy to not get a good solid weld. Best advice -...

Count me in!

Hey - on the V14.0 board - what is the ADDR50 IC3 slot?

Awesome - I'm looking to build a controller system to control glycol valves for 15 conicals. I'm thinking I may need a forward and a backward controller for the valves so that should work well.

Hey Jimmie, I didn't see this on FAQ or anywhere... What is the max number of devices this can control?

Just a quick note (this is Mike Malsed, the OP author) - I'm writing more reviews and will be hitting as many software suites as I can get my hands on. If you have suggestions, please list them and I'll see if I can get to them. Cheers!

I CAN'T use the equipment because I don't HAVE that equipment (beer engine) I WON'T use the method of pressurizing a keg, serving, bleeding all the gas and leaving it flat, then pressurizing the keg, serving, then bleeding the gas. A: it's expensive, b: it's impractical, c: it's a waste. I'm...

So, we're talking different languages. I'm not missing the point at all. A: The point was that Dman wanted to put up a Nitro system. B: another poster said you can get the same effect with a syringe (you can't, but I'll do the experiment) C: ajd then said that Nitro wasn't the actual agent, it...

No, THAT wasn't the point. The point was that ajdelane said that I don't do Nitro to imitate "real ale" - I don't want very low carbonation - and I don't want to waste my gas pressurizing, then bleeding, then pressurizing, then bleeding when apparently Nitro/Beer Gas accomplishes the task...

Wait - I missed the point? First, I'm running a typical set up. I'm not going to jump through a bunch of hoops that a typical homebrewer won't jump through. I want to drink my beer. . . The original posit was that N2 doesn't have a significant effect on the beer (for various reasons...

Okay, yes, the stout run through the sparkler plate at 30psig CO2 alone is the only test I don't have. However, we do have the medium body run through the sparkler plate at 30psig CO2 alone - and it showed no significant difference from the others. In any case, I will re-run the experiment with...

Nah - this only took about a half hour, while my wife and daughter were making dinner. Pretty easy too. I don't know - I haven't heard from ajd yet. I still do plan to try it with the RIS as I mentioned, but for me (and my wife, who was pretty adamant on it) it seems pretty clear that the...

Okay - empirical experiment. If I took a beer and transferred it to the stout faucet, it should get head characteristics and creamy mouthfeel that we expect from Nitro. I used a medium bodied red. It has been on 10psi CO2. I took a pour through my Perlick faucet under 10psi CO2. Then I took...

Oh, I know. I just don't worry about it. What IS a perfect pint? I think that article is quite tongue in cheek (119.5 seconds? LOL) and to us typical homebrewers, a perfect pint is probably anything coming from our taps! :)

Okay - I have a medium body beer that's only been on CO2. I will try it through the stout faucet on straight CO2 (at 30psi and at 12psi) to see what we get. I will post pics. This should be pretty easy - just swap the bev lines. I'm not really interested in any "perfect pint" - my wife loves...

Ok, he can be an expert. I'm actually an expert in quite a few things as well, and when I drop in on those conversations I try not to cut people off at the knees. So - to get back on topic - if I were to take that disc in a CO2 system, I would have the same "whipped-cream-foam" ? I can just...

Sigh - it's not a bruised ego. It's the frustration of running against someone who seems to look at nothing except his numbers. I'm more empirical. Listen - not everyone is an engineer. Not everyone sits looking at equations all day. I look at the results - most of us do. But you come in and...

No big deal. You chased me off the thread. Your own referenced page noted the You can do what you like. What I know and can see, empirically, is that the beer that comes out of my Nitro system has a "whipped-cream-like" head but when I put it through my CO2 system, it has a vastly lesser...
