If you could...

If you could invent anything to make your brew day easier, what would you invent?

I would invent a device to remind me to set my PID from 211 degrees to 70% after the boil gets rolling. I have no idea why I always forget that.

Sounds like you need a post-it-note. I would like an electronic HLT.

I'd probably enjoy someone who knows what they are doing...y'all can keep the equipment.

I would invent a box that I could put everything in, push a button, and it would be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized. (dishwasher-esque for brewing). Carboys? no problem. racking canes? no problem. tubing? no problem. CFC? no problem. pumps? no problem...

I like that! What if their was a stick on LCD thermometer/ refracometer. You just stick it on your carboy.

Invent my brew assistant.

 

[Monster Mash]

A boil over sensor that sprays a mist over the boil pot before it reaches the top....

[Homercidal]

I would invent a homebrew that gave perfect memory for 5 hours. That way I could drink homebrew and not forget what I am doing while brewing!

it's called Fermcap-S (5 drops instead of mist)

"Brewers should not use silicone-containing antifoam for unfiltered beers. The FDA allows active silicone to be used up to 10 parts-per-million (ppm) but stipulates that the silicone must be removed prior to packaging by either filtration or centrifugation."

how about a brew shop that has sales on stuff i want or need.... carboys, vinator, yeast, flasks.... sales that make me think...I'm broke but the kids don't need lunch this week....I'm not passing this up....

inline digital refractometer.

i like... i could also use a device that measures SG similar to how a digital pH meter works.

A time machine so I could try the finished beer as soon as I'm done brewing it...

Yet the same silicone is approved by the FDA to be given infants at levels above 5 drops per day. Makes you wonder?

Fermcap - it's in Wendy's Fries

which doesn't mean it's "good" for you, but it is approved for human consumption and according to ProBrewer and Brewers Supply Group - adsorbed by yeast (sticks to it).

Active ingredient - Dimethylpolysiloxane.

How about making some Ghlen Livid wine? Drink it now and plant the fruit next year!

a tablet I could drop into my cooled wort that would oxygenate it to 15ppm exactly every time:rockin:
