Got one more stainless 1/2" valve, this one will go on the march pump to help gate the flow. Gonna make a Herms outta my mash cooler, keggle, and wort chiller.
Ordered stuff to make a heat stick.
Read some articles on calibrating equipment for my Beersmith trial software. They seem to make this more mysterious than it needs to be.. Went through and added all my old hops and grains to inventory. Added a couple recipes. Not sure I like the direction of holding my recipes hostage in the cloud for a monthly fee. Seems like he is copying Beer Tools in a few ways. I always end up trialing both these softwares at the same time and end up buying neither.
Made a mental note to create liquid volume measurements for tun and keggle.
Found a recipe for a Sierra Nevada clone, noted I have all ingredients already on hand and plan to make this next after I read about yeast washing.
Checked hops plant for the first time in a week. First year for homegrown hops for me and cones just starting appearing a week ago, now they are getting massive. Probably be able to use them this year.
Studied some articles on March pumps and learned some stuff about cavitation, proper priming technique, after marker pump heads and their customer support as well as March people are active on this forum.
Debated buying a yeast stirrer. While my homemade one works, it's kinda cobbled together with hot glue and the magnets seem to come off occasionally. Like to just have a reliable one in case I get into making lagers.
