Thanks, I didn't realize you could do it that quick. So after you check the first time, if it needs a bit more do you just hit it at 30psi for a couple more minutes then check again? It's been sitting at 39 degrees for a few days now. I'll give it a shot tonight

I have about 2.5 gallons in a 5 gallon corny that is ready for carbonation. I'll be grabbing a smaller corny in the near future for small batches but for now this is what I'm working with. I planned on doing the carbonation using the longer method but I've been slacking and am now up against...

Thanks! :mug:

I'm just finishing up. Everything seems to be working fine on the RPi and Arduino side. I just have to connect the outlet and power cord to the relay. Am I okay using 14 gauge wire for the Red/Black from the relay? In the one diagram it says 16-18 gauge but I have 14 already at home. Just...

This thread inspired me to think of one for myself. I came up with Stone Patio Brewing because that is where I brew in my backyard

Thanks All! I'll give it a shot and if I don't make it on time I'll just have a couple more bottles worth to myself

It's the Brantford Beerfest in Ontario, Canada. It's the first year for it so I figure the least I can do to support it besides buying a ticket is to add to their competition. http://www.brantfordbeerfest.com/

I was just told about a homebrew competition in my area but entries are due August 13th and today is July 15th. I was looking to do something similar to a Bell's Two Hearted Ale since I'm trying to work with ingredients on hand. I just picked up equipment for kegging today (just need my...
