A VPN creates a tunnel that will allow a device on a remote network to connect back to your home network like it was sitting right there. Then you can do everything remotely that you can do at home. Port forwarding might give you less headaches. However, that option is a bit scary to me -...

Thank you so much! I also just realized that I guess I made a run called "test" earlier, so if I had named it something else it would have started fresh... Here's a pic of my test water ferment, I am using an old kegerator and a seedling mat wrapped around a 6.5 gallon bucket with about...

I searched around a bit but maybe couldn't describe my question correctly to find an answer. I built a brewpi months back but never got around to testing it. Last night I filled a bucket fermentor with water and took brewpi for a test drive. It's been running in idle mode for 10 days now, I...

I finally got this all working with a pretty non-typical setup. I'm running Windows Server 08 in a virtual machine - this hosts my website already in IIS. I dropped brewpi into IIS and password protected it so everyone can't (hopefully) mess around with my stuff remotely I got the brewpi hex...

Hey guys I have a dual regulator that has a slow leak after the first regulator. I've attached a picture with an arrow to the leak area. It's slowly fizzing out around that old (teflon tape?) white stuff. I've never taken apart a regulator - should I get a wrench and try to open it...

Ok guys I'm diving in. I bought everything mentioned except for the Raspberry Pi. I have a VM running Windows Server 2008 for my web server at home that I should be able to use - I installed all the PHP/Python libraries and I'm getting a test page of BrewPi with some canned data on IIS. I'll...

If it was a leak you'd probably be out of co2 by now, it really pisses away overnight Are you "locking" in the adjustment dial? Maybe its slipping. Or simply as Bishop suggested the tank isn't open

If you leave it in the on/open position, have you tried slowly turning up the dial? Maybe it's actually at 0 or something low. I'd hook it up to the keg and see what it does, it'll have something pushing back on it and you'll be able to tell us the symptoms better

woah awesome! Count me in!

Russian Imperial Stout, extract :fro:

I have kegged two batches of SP and neither time did I backsweeten. I made a big batch of simple syrup and just let people sweeten it to taste. It's not too bad dry, I used 71b yeast maybe that's why. It's almost like Sauvigon Blanc when it isn't backsweetened It's nice to have on hand dry...

I racked 3 batches to a 15 gallon keg, letting that bulk age for a while. It's been 6 months since I made it and I'm testing my patience on diving into the half keg :eek:

I have 3 batches of this going right now. The oldest is 3 months old, the youngest is about 1 month old. I want to siphon all these to a 15 gallon keg and let them all bulk age in there. Does that make sense or should I let them age individually on their own lees?

28,343.5 (fixed pilotgarren's math - he's probably had too much apfelwein) + 15 = 28,358.5

I don't know what my level was, it was about 5 psi or so, just enough to push it out. Slowly got more sparkling as it sat on tap. I liked it bubbly, but it didnt last long enough to get really carbed up :tank: I didn't backsweeten mine at all, we liked the dry sauvignon blanc-ish type...
