    Alternatives to BruControl for Arduino?

    I use the Teensy for most of my projects; lots of space and I/O, and you can use most Arduino libraries as well as the IDE.

    Anyone brewing Brut IPA?

    Just kegged my attempt at a simple Brut. OG: 1.062 FG:0.995 ABV:8.93% Interesting side effect; I had my first two pints of the brew with a dinner of home-made meatloaf and a large helping of refried beans. Now normally, beans and I have a rather dramatic relationship:confused:, but this time...

    Trouble with TILT

    I bought one of the very early models that didn't have the recalibration feature, and later bought a second one that did. Since I do a single 10gal batch at a time, I drop both of them into the fermentor. Most of the time the graphs are similar, but may be off by a few SG points. I use them...

    Beverage Factory / Kegco Brite Tank

    I use the clear beer draught system during both fermentation and serving. I also ferment under pressure with a spunding valve, and use the residual pressure in the fermentor to start transfers to the keg. Obviously, the brite tank is heavier than a plastic carboy, but I still manage to get it...

    10 GALLON KEGS ?

    I've done about 5-6 batches since I got the first tank, all using a spunding valve. All but one was in my fermentation chamber under controlled temperature conditions. Just for grins, I did one ( a simple Golden Promise / Flaked Rye with Nelson Hops) that I did not put into the chamber, and...

    10 GALLON KEGS ?

    For the money they're asking, I can get a 15.5 gal brite tank like the ones I use for fermenting 10 gal batches, with plenty of head space. I've already got 2, thinking about another.

    Nevada Bottom Drain Mash Tun - $50 OBO

    Way back in 2012 I made an Insulated Bottom Drain Mash Tun out of an old keg. It's served me well, but a little over a year ago, I replaced it with a 25Gal mash tun and it's been sitting in my shed ever since. If anyone in the Las Vegas area would like to come by and pick it up, It's available...

    Slightly scorched element

    The green Scotch-Brite pad and BKF did the trick:ban: Thanks to all!:bravo:

    Slightly scorched element

    So, I inadvertently reversed my input and output hoses on my RIMS tube...:eek: I corrected the problem pretty quickly and proceeded with my brew day. After breaking down my RIMS tube, I discovered that there had apparently been a bubble that exposed part of the heating element for some period...

    TeensyNet Project Interest?

    I halted development on the TeensyNet project some time ago, but left the website up for reference. There has been little activity on the site, and the domain name is set to expire in the near future, so I've decided not to renew the domain. Thanks to all here that had an interest.

    New Corney keg lids with thermowell

    +1, I've been fermenting 10 gal batches for about 2 years now, and never looked back.

    Soldering Stainless steel

    After literally dozens of silver soldered tri-camp ferrules and assorted other fittings, I finally had one fail. I have a 20gal Kegco kettle on which I silver soldered two 1.5"/1" tri-clamp ferrules. While cleaning the kettle, the ferrule holding my tri-clamp ball valve separated from the...

    New Corney keg lids with thermowell

    I've test-pressurized my kegs up to 35psi with no problems, YMMV.
