Thanks for the suggestions guys, i'll have to try them out. I know its an odd topic but bringing my 7inch tablet into brew shop will be easy and with the keyboard and mouse...shoot I can import data quicker than on a tiny screened phone

My only source of internet is my tablet and my phone...it seems silly but i have a keyboard and mouse for my tablet and it does all the same a computer can (for my needs) so basicly share features arent huge i'm just looking for an all around awesome app

Hey gang, i'm sure its been asked a bunch of times but with so many apps out on the android market, which one is the best for brew days? It doesnt matter if its free or costs as long as it is worth it

Alright guys this has probably been asked before....but be fairly new to this forum I want some opinions. I don't own a laptop or a desktop computer, i have a galaxy tab 2 7.0 inch tablet that i basicly turned into a computer with a docking stand, keyboard, mouse an office suite program and...

Some of it is important lol if you dig on the scientific background. I have done lots of research after one batch of my beer was not as clear as i wanted even though i added a clarifying agent during my secondary, thats when i found out that each protein coagulation produces negative and...

Cheezydemon3 the vaporizor is a very intriguing machine. How it works is at extracts flavors (or pure thc in the netherlands) and tempuratures that you control. You first start out around 140 degrees and work your way up to 200 or higher depending on what your machine goes to. As far as my ion...

Yes thats exactly what i want to do ;-) lol, no i was just thinking about different flavor possibilities and extracting most flavor and with a vaporizor i can extract at higher puerer temps then just boiling or leaving in my secondary and possibly contracting either positive or negative ions...

Yes i am a dirty effing pirate....but look, being a chef we sometimes vaporize herbs to add aroma and deeper flavor to dishes...so I was thinking well if i want a deep say corriander flavor add it to the secondary plus scented hops for an extra kick....Does that seem crazy?

This seems off the wall....has anyone used a vaporizor to flavor hops so when added to secondary fermentation they can have flavors??

Pcollins: You have an excellent point. The post i made was reffering to theory and what I have expierenced in a restaurant and bar atmosphere when steeping our own liquors. The best part about cooking (and brewing) is there is not one single way to do somethng, neither is a way right or wrong...

I've actually read it in a book called The Science of the Kitchen. That is a general rule for most vinalla beans...(i've also learned by trial and error steping different ingredients in liquor) If you have the real good vanilla beans ( i e madagascar) they are very potent and you shouldn't have...

Have you tried using honey combs (obviously with honey in it) during a secondary fermantation? I have yet to try it but in theory it should extract theory

Hey guys heres just random throw outs from a chef....longer time you soak vanila beans they will become bitter. The most flavor extraction of vanila should not be more than 72 hours. I hope my little tid bit of information helps future brewers...also remember if your using ingriedents like...

Okay interesting prospectives to think about. I re did some of my planing and the botom shelf will now be about desk height so i can drain right into fermentor. As far as my lauter tun yet, i'm not sure if im going cooler route or kettle with a false bottom. My goal is to have water flowing from...

You proved an excellent point. It does defeat the pupose. Right now im drawing and planing, i just read reviews on a three tired system. I just want to let gravity (or pump) do the work so i don't have to lift anything (since i'll be brewing bymyself) How do you like your single tier system? I'm...
