One more even more arcane questions: do you happen to remember the ambient temp for that data run? I'm assuming still air.... Thanks!

Excellent to hear that it was an uninsulated keggle. My model doesn't have and probably won't have insulation for a while so I'm happy to hear the real thing didn't as well. You, by chance, don't happen to have that data in a non-image format, do you? Figured as much on the engr degree. Only...

Since I am building a rather detailed thermo model of this system, could you tell me what type of boil kettle you're using? I'm only interested in material and geometry, e.g. sankey keggle or a 20g aluminum pot, etc Thanks!

passedpawn, I was in dire need of data for a project and you came through with this. From one engineer to the [possibly honorary] next, THANK YOU!

Nope. They work for beer.

You and everybody else! One thing I didn't include here was the ability to do multi temp rests or decoction brewing. How important do you think those capabilities are?

Alright folks--now's your chance to hire four aerospace engineers to design your beer rig. I am working on my masters degree at night here while working full time. For my current class project, we need to define a product and/or system and work through the entire system design cycle. I'll...

Really? No one?

Has anyone brewed this? If so, how was it??

I myself am the type of person that will buy the good stuff and do it right. I do not like shortcuts or half @$$ing a job. So, naturally, I wanted to buy a conical because that is what the pros use and there has to be a reason. So, I thought about this. I briefed SWMBO on the upcoming...

Did anyone else see that episode of that new show on Discovery, Brewmasters, that profiled the Dogfish Head Brewery? They said that a 5% ABV batch goes from brew day to bottling to out the door in 2 weeks. My question to the masters out there: what do they know that we don't??

Being an aerospace engineer by trade, I make lots of charts. I like charts. In fact, I might love charts. And tables for that matter. Anyhow, I was going to put together some handy full page color charts and tables for use while brewing. I know that BeerSmith and other similar software...

I'm in the market for a new kegerator. I noticed that most people are using chest freezers with temp controllers instead of a full sized fridge. Does anyone have any strong opinions about either way? Why the freezer/controller approach and not an old fridge from Craigslist?

Anyone tried making cider out of one of the many 100% fruit juice fruit punches available in the typical megamart?

Well, the reason I asked was that I actually did this a while ago and I have since tasted the beer. It's good, but it has a slight off flavor that I cannot identify. The only thing I can guess is that it's astringecy but I can't say that for sure. No water was over 170 deg. I had used...

On my first all grain batch, I accidentally drained the mash tun before adding sparge water, I then proceeded to add sparge water to the drained tun, drained again, then repeated for a total of three runnings. I realized my mistake at that point. My question is how would this affect the...

I am considering going to dinner with SWMBO this evening for the sole purpose of obtaining bottles of Young's Special London Ale. She, of course, does not know this. My question to anyone out there is has anyone cultured this strain and is the bottled yeast the primary fermentation strain...

Has anyone made a cider from muscadine juice? Or any other grape for that matter? I live in southeast Georgia and have access to lots of muscadine cider that could potentially make a wonderful carbonated beverage! Any ideas?
