reply! I totally want in on this!

MW3 might be a good option. The campaign is only 6 hours, but the special ops missions can take up some more time, and multiplayer is a total time suck...

It will most likely work to grow a mother, but it might carry the ginger flavor with it. The flavor will probably fade after you make a couple of batches, but I used an unflavored starter to make sure I could have plain kombucha and flavor it how I wanted...

Thanks for all the input! I checked out Kal's site extensively, and I'm using his design as my "inspiration", but it's definitely more than I need. I'm basically looking for a "Kal Lite" panel with similar aesthetic appeal...

sent you an email...

... I think (hope) you meant features?? :) I'm looking for two PID's, element on lights, element switch between HLT and BK, 2 pump switches, panel on/off. If you're willing to make the elements and probes as well, that's definitely something I'd consider...

I've been searching this forum and many other corners of the web to figure out the cost of making the control panel I want for my future electric brewery. My electrical skills are crap, but I'm sure I could put a control panel together with the help of an electrical engineer friend... My...

I made an all cascade IPA once and I wasn't a huge fan. I may have had some other issues with the beer, but the taste wasn't terribly enjoayble. try making a tea out of some of the hops and see if you like the flavor by itself.

The guy at my LHBS suggested to fill and freeze water balloons. They don't melt as fast as cubed ice, and are cheap...

My guess is that you'd have malt & hop flavored vinegar... try throwing an extra scoby and see what happens.

I built a fan just like this, with a tube into the tower. I used it for about a week and then i realized that the constant whirring of the fan was more annoying than a little extra foam on the first pour. If you're trying to cool a tower off of a kegerator, I would suggest going with...

Cool set-up! I'm debating on going with a full-blown eHERMS rig or just going for the minimalist eBIAB approach. Question - How do you keep the weight of the bag off the element? I'm assuming you don't just drop it in and leave it, do ya?

This looks helpful, I'd love to have one!

I'm learning this very quickly. I've been lurking your site for a while now, and figuring out exactly how much it's going to cost... I need to give my fiance a nice shopping spree when I'm done with all of this! Kal, is there any news on a "package" version of your brewery? I definitely want...

a switch seems like an option too... is it safe to turn a 220v switch on and off repeatedly to maintain a temperature?
