I did, and I explained that we were having an issue with it for a while. It's fixed now along with better discounts. I probably wouldn't pay 92 either. There's always going to be a vendor a bit closer.

In the spirit of what this thread is about, I still felt compelled to look it up. I saw another post of yours where you said you're from Southern California and that would explain why shipping 60 pounds 2700 miles would be expensive. That's why I was targeting the N.E. end of the country in this...

Rather than speculate, give me your city/zip and I'll calculate the current shipping cost via UPS for a sack of grain. There was a couple month span where the UPS rates were not being sent to my website properly so it may have been in that period of time. We also just got much better discounts...

Brother, this is a brewing forum and you're getting very heavy for what was a light hearted sentiment. Time for a beer I THINK.... I don't know for sure and I'm not accusing you of needing one.

And yet if you find yourself brewing on an electric system some time in the future, regardless of how that might happen, you too will wonder why you waited.

The solo controller looks cool and wins in the VERY SIMPLE category if you consider it a pro and not a con. There are couple features that are missing (for me) that took it out of the running for my system.

Unfortunately it's one of those things people have to experience to understand. Someone will read through this thread and see your post and they'll still think "nah, not for me". Electric brewing is transformative. FYI, if you had the brass to put the GFCI and circuit in, you may be ready to...

I think it's going to be Brew Matrix or Micro Brew Matrix. Something about including the size of the batches sticks to me.

Tetra means four. Tetris is a play on that because each piece is made of four squares. Picobrew Zymatic was a play on Zymurgy and Automatic. Zymatrix was an attempt at Zymergy and Matrix. I'd be more concerned about brand confusion is I was actually trying to make a product. Moot anyway since...

Don't try flow controlling on the way out of the keg. Maintain back pressure in the lines.

Assuming extract brewing or extract with steeping grains, I highly recommend starting with distilled water. There are minerals in the extract and you won't have to worry about chlorine or doubling up on mineral content.

Flow control QD and flow control faucet combined is creating a hectic turbulent flow. Combine that with running the keg at too low a pressure, the Co2 is cracking out of solution. If you're going to use a flow control faucet, you need to eliminate the flow control QD. Raise the pressure to the...

How about Tetra Zymatrix?

The project has been long in the making but I'm getting really close to firing up my first four way batch. I have the best intentions to make every batch a piece of youtube content. I'm not going for ultra production value, but part of my incentive to putting all this work into brewing four...

Remove the lactose. It's causing the brick wall that you are trying to break through. And its gross too.
