also, another question...once the mash is done and i drain that into my brew kettle and add half the sparge water to my MT, wait 10 minutes then slowly drain it into the brew kettle. At this point, am i supposed to add the other half of my sparge water AND whats in the brew kettle? so far i've...

I did in fact boil it first. just want to make sure it won't mess with the gravity or wort in a negative way

I'm currently sparging and had one addt'l question. After the 60 minute boil, is it okay if i put a frozen block of ice in the wort to help cool and bring it to needed volume? i've read of others doing this, but wouldn't it water down my gravity/wort?

Thanks for all the advice, especially the sparge water calculator.

So my first batch is in the books and it turned out okay. It's drinkable and friends and family said it was good. Me personally, I thought it was just average at best, but for a first go around I'll take it. The first batch was an extract kit and I decided to go for an all-grain Brew Day...

thx for the very indepth response. How many days does it take to carb with method 2 and 3?

Well alrighty...i'll set it at the 6 PSI when i get home after purging. If it's overcarbed, how long will that usually take to equalize? Loaded question i know...but ballpark maybe? For future purposes, should I always just set the PSI at serving pressure? If so, is 3-4 days long enough? I feel...

I'm in the process of doing my first brew (Peanut Butter Stout) and kegging. Saturday night I started the following procedure based on the recommendations of a local HB Supply Store: - Set the regulator at 30 PSI - Attach the line to the corny keg - Let it build until I no longer hear the...

currently i'm running a fermentation chamber from an old freezer setup using brewpi. had the temp set at 72.5* for the last hour but will drop it to 68* which is the middle of the recommended beer instructions. Thanks.

I went with the "full boil". We'll see how well it works out. On a side note, my yeast says to ferment at 70-75*, whereas the beer directions say 64-72*. Which should i go with?

For my first brew, the instructions say: Begin by heating 2.5 gallons of water in your Brew Pot to 150* and add grains...then malt later...then hops...rolling boil for 60 minutes...then cool to 70*...then add water until it is 5 gallons. Question: Can I just start with 5 gallons of water...

I said a/c adapter because i saw that in the diagram you drew and thought that's what you labeled it as. So what I want to know is, can i use the female end of a plug, wire it up to the PC cord, unswitched, and hook up the raspberry Pi's adapter to the female plug? The simple answer seems...

thanks for the diagram...but are you saying i can't plug the pi into the a/c adapter in your diagram? I want to do what you are suggesting but plug in the raspberry pi's plug into the a/c adapter.

has anyone wired this up using the pc cord as the source for their raspberry pi too? this would avoid the need to plug in both the raspberry pi and the electrical outlets.

smh...i checked and rechecked and rechecked. both the 5v and in2 pins where shifted one spot on the board. all is well! thanks!

i'm using the RPi2 as well. :/

Looking for help...I've followed the diagram on the first page and have the temp probes working. However, I can not get the electrical outlet to actually switch on or off. I have a PC power cord that has a blue, brown (tan?), and green w/ yellow stripe wire coming of it. -I wired the the...
