    4.4 cu ft madea for 119 free shipping at target.

    I had to cut the entire shelving out and shave down the remaining insulation. You need to shave a little circular shape out of middle to get door to close but it works great with a 7 gal fermonster. Covered the exposed foam with duct tape. Height is not an issue. A caution if you decide to...

    ispindel vs rapt pill

    I bought some 39mm OD 35mm ID x 2mm width silicone o-rings for the cap and they work great. No more random leaks into the tube. Also soldered in a magnet reed switch to the reset pins and added a cheap wireless charger receiver and don't open it anymore.

    Keg Cop: Keg Monitoring and Control

    Not sure if this is a bug or how it's intended to work but ran into an interesting occurrence. Forgot to make my taps inactive while running cleaner and sanitizer through them. One of the taps went pretty negative to almost -2 gallons. This tap completely disappeared from the home screen...

    Fermentrack + ispindle shows temp in F

    Just go to the fermentrack settings (cog at top right corner of homepage) and change to Celsius. I believe fermentrack has its own way of doing things. It also has it's own formula for the tilt equations. Not sure if you need to copy that from the ispindel settings if you have calibrated it...

    scorched or burnt RIS wort...wrong element or just boiled too long?

    Honestly its been a couple years since its happened so don't exactly remember the how/when during process it occurred. Just at some point I remember a burning smell thinking something was on fire but everything was fine and was able to finish up. But your description of the element is exactly...

    scorched or burnt RIS wort...wrong element or just boiled too long?

    I had a very similar experience with a homemade electric kettle, 2 1500W elements though, and a RIS. The elements got extremely burnt, black and crusty to the point I just replaced them and the beer turned out so burnt it was undrinkable. While it's never happened again, mainly because I don't...

    CO2 Tank Markings

    After 3 years of refills and doing the hydro test, my fire supply place says they can't fill the tank anymore because it's one of the Coca Cola tanks. Say they could lose their license, somehow this is happening now after 3 years of services. Would need to get a letter from Coke saying it's ok...

    USA or Imported tubing?

    Bought silicone tubing from them over 5 years ago and it was great. Unfortunately have no idea if it was imported or domestic. Recently bought some more of the USA made one. While perfectly fine it kinks very easily. So keep in mind if you're going to be making any large bends. It can be...

    Fermentrack, iSpindel communication issues.

    Your server address and path/uri appear to be the same. The path/uri needs to be the ip address of the iSpindel, http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/ispindel, and server address will be ip address of pi. This is what mine looks like

    Fermentrack, iSpindel communication issues.

    Did you enter the raspberry pi IP address in the iSpindel settings? If I remember correctly there is a spot to enter "fermentrack", no quotes, as the service type and IP address of pi fermentrack server in the iSpindel configuration menu. Then I think you have to manually add a gravity...

    Looking for portable kegerator solutions... 2024 Edition

    It's hard to tell cause website doesn't give interior dimensions but what about Igloo Sunset Glide 110 Qt Cooler. It's a little bigger but if might get both 3 gallon kegs in. You could wheel to location and prop it up on it side so kegs standing up. Might have to use something like a ratchet...

    Main Panel Breaker Question

    Update to this post. My new multimeter arrived today and everything is behaving as it should. Apparently using a ncvt in the main panel can give false readings and is not recommended. Lesson learned.

    Main Panel Breaker Question

    I'm installing a new 240v dedicated circuit with a 50 amp 2 pole breaker for a mini split unit. My main panel is a GE model from the early 70's with the ground and neutral combined. Currently I have pulled the wire from one side of the house to the other where the main panel is located...

    Not-So-Obnoxious Baseball Thread

    Just turned on Yankees/Twins game being played in Minnesota. They were showing this boat in the outfield stands you can buy tickets and hang out in. Noticed a guy behind boat wearing a Northern Brewer hoodie. Then camera panned up and it was Chip Walton from Brewing TV. Pretty funny to...

    An appeal to Northeast U.S. Homebrewers

    Just remember there is also SOMETHING that DOESN'T get added to the total cost when you purchase items from small out of state retailers. Not sure how long this will last as sellers switch to updated systems but take advantage of it and support a small business at the same time. Yes I know...

    Share Your Eclipse Experience (and beer)

    Figured it was going to be my only chance to see totality, the original plan was to head a few hours from me to the Lake Placid area. Then that national weather service cloud map came out on Sunday and decided that little sliver of northeast Vermont was best option. Turns out everyone else...
