    [Initial Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

    I got my setup working this weekend. It was really easy and i want to say thanks to the developers who made this awesome setup. I'm working on integrating it with BrewPi too so I can get some different functionality with it. Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

    [Initial Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

    Got my setup done today and wanted to thank all the programmers that worked on this project. It is really amazing when I look at how easy this was to setup and think about how much went into the backend of this. Thanks!

    Am I a bad person?

    I agree. On every purchase no, but for $500? I have actually been offered purchases at local stores if I pay that much without asking. I definitely go back to those places not for a future discount, but because they demonstrated they appreciate the big purchases like that. I don't think you...

    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    I think this is a thread to it, but I haven't done it myself. From what I have read it is waaaaaaay easier with an arduino because without it you need a lot of coding I the raspberry pi. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f235/raspberry-pi-temp-controller-344529/ Disclaimer again that I haven't...

    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    I have a quick question about the parts for this specific to my project and I would appreciate a common sense check as I am new to the hardware side of all this. I will be moving to Germany in about four months so I want to only have to switch out the sockets for new fridges when I get there...

    [Initial Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

    This is awesome, thanks for making this awesome program. Has anyone tried to integrate this with brewpi or something similar to control the temperature of a kegerator combined with an arduino? I know V2 is in development but I am just curious as all my parts are on order. Any reason the...

    Moving to Germany - Advice?

    Thanks for all the help! I am definitely going to be learning enough German to talk to the locals, or at least know when they are talking about me! I currently live somewhere where there are no LHBS within about an hour and a half so I normally use internet sources. I will heck out those German...

    Moving to Germany - Advice?

    In about four months I will be moving to Germany (Stuttgart area) for a few years. I have searched around and found a lot of answers about propane purchases (available on the Army bases) and a little on CO2 tanks (adapter needed and it is difficult to fill somewhere). Is there anything you...

    Homebrew Club Fayetteville, NC??

    Yea, there is a Facebook group for it to make it easier to organize. Next meetup is this Saturday at the mashouse at noon. If you search Fayetteville Home Brewers on Facebook I think you can see the page and join, but I'm not sure what the privacy settings are. Mostly monthly meet ups with a...

    Homebrew Club Fayetteville, NC??

    I saw that on a poster outside the crepe place downtown. I was going to go by after I ate but when I looked up the slyfox website it didn't say anything about it. I'll definitely drive up there for supplies if they have good stuff, but the only real mentioning of it is on their Facebook page...

    Emerging microbrewery trend

    ... and I GET this. I agree, even as a younger person on your scale, that a lot of the youth today can be greedy little, uh, dudes. But I would just ask you be careful ASSUMING that all those young people who get help don't deserve it and their parents are being irresponsible in helping. If...

    Emerging microbrewery trend

    I know these are your opinions and are most likely held as a result of experiences, so I have little chance of changing your mind just by typing something out on the internet. I wholeheartedly agree with point one, that it can make you stronger in many aspects. Instead of trying to change your...

    Emerging microbrewery trend

    I can accept this as the reasoning, but the easy way to remedy this from a business standpoint is pay some young, inexperienced 22-23 year old fresh out of college good for nothing and have him advertise for you. Or ask a younger relative? Is it bad to get help from parents but okay to get...

    Emerging microbrewery trend

    There is a lot of bitterness in this thread over something I don't understand. I see you are angry but your points all seem to boil down to bitterness rather than well reasoned arguments. Just to examine your arguments you take two groups you know of personally, then a bunch you have read...

    Kettle Purchasing Advice

    Two weeks ago my wife bought me the Bayou Classic 16 gallon spigot pot (model 1064). I brewed a 5 gal extract with it last weekend and I love it. Now I can do 10 gal in the future. I went this route after reading a lot of people don't use the steamer basket. It was pretty inexpensive too...

    Homebrew Club Fayetteville, NC??

    I just moved here and am down to go to a brew day. I just started home brewing but I cheat and keg instead of bottle.

    Does it amaze you at how many breweries are terrible at making beer?

    I always thought that breweries made these different types of beer because everyone usually has a series of favorites. If I go somewhere I usually order a brown or amber depending on the description. If I don't like one I try the other. I don't think it is necessarily about cost but about...

    How do you do a full boil?

    Awesome, thanks! I know it sounded like a dumb question, but in my searches I saw people talking about their boiling temps and various other things that just got me confused. I appreciate the help, even for something so simple sounding!
