Well... $7 per smackpack that's more like two to three weeks old (they don't seem to carry the 3 month old at my LHBS). So $42 plus tax... If I do a starter I would save about $35 for a twelve gallon batch... My time is worth more than that I travel, work late, etc... I'd rather focus on beer.

What's the difference if I pitch six fresh smackpacks or make a starter to a 12 gallon batch of ale??? I'll put my beer up against anyones.

Excellent video... love me some smack packs...

Meh... screw starters... I'll save money by buying grain by the sack and hops in bulk.... and pitching however many smack packs Mr Malty tells me to... Cheers...

This is a somewhat old thread but I agree.... I'm not into making starters at all, I brew 12 gallon all grain batches, seems beers call for 6 smack packs for ales and 8 for lagers without a starter. Why not have different sizes? Package it one time and be done with it. I don't want to focus...

Just sent in my order... seems I'll be making a trip to Decatur... any good brewpubs down around where you guys are? I'm thinking I'll checkout a place for lunch that has good beer while I'm down there...

Nice!

I'm extremely happy with both of mine; each controlling a chest freezer... https://brewbit.com/dashboard/devices/350/sessions/3547?token=c40a3bf56e921e4c64c893dd9c8449f9 https://brewbit.com/dashboard/devices/352/sessions/3546?token=4afe53cdabb011718d2d46f9907a74aa

I've never been in on one of the group buys but did sign up for the last one and the spreadsheet is here if you haven't seen it yet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AqX3TKHJ2PjmdG9BSnVBdXJQWk9yLTQxY0VnZk14c1E#gid=2

SWEET! I just got an email from FedEx saying I have a package coming from Inebriated Innovations... :-D

Why is that? I mean raspberrypints + brewpi looks like it's a good system and all if you're into putting it all together but what more does it give than brewbit?

...up next Edit: ooops.... wrong thread.... beerbug...brewbit... ANYWAY... I just noticed there's an end of April update: http://brewbit.com/blog/83888658333/end-of-april-update Can't wait... it's looking really really good... I'll just need an app that combines that data from brewbit and...

damn... I was walking the dog and trying to edit the 'name' on the brewbugs screen and when I saved it... my data got nuked...wtf? Edit: I'm pretty sure I was in 'test' mode at first since I used 'tare' independently and then put it in my brew and then realized I should have gone through the...

Thanks for the tip... I wasn't thinking about just tying a knot at the end of the string... so I've got that one in water and I'll test it all day to see how it fairs on a known gravity. I put the other in my scottish ale last night and I just don't have the warm and fuzzy with it yet to trust...

I just got two beerbugs in today.... how in the eff to you change the fishing string... the very virst time I tried putting the weight part into the test water the string broke and for the life of me figure out how to thread this needle.... Any tips?

Ha... Because I didn't have a Keezer... :D The STC is pretty impressive for 17 bucks! lol... I had no idea... I figure it'll be an awesome backup controller should I ever need one after I start using the brewbits...

OK... I did get a response back on facebook and here it is in case anyone was wondering... : "We are waiting on one last component to come in and then we can start final assembly. We have 500 to get through so it will take us a couple weeks to get through them all. We plan to start shipping in...

ok... I ordered the STC1000 for one of my chest freezers for now... I can't believe how cheap that thing is.... Since brewbit has been so quiet I'll go ahead and assume they won't be shipping within nine days.... I'm totally looking forward to getting the two that I ordered though; just need to...

Yeah... I was just looking at brewpi and although I know that I can get it all put together, I really don't want to spend the time to do it and would rather spend my time doing other things like building out my keezers and brewing beer. So... I guess I'll wait BUT weekly updates at this point...

Exactly... Wasn't that from March tenth? About a month ago? And it says it LOOKS like they will ship BY the middle of April and the middle of April is ten days away...
