    Speakers and stereo equipment

    Audio compression has been used for years and actually started in broadcasting. A lot of the early pop and rock recordings were compressed in order to sound better on a car radio, where road noise could easily drown out quieter passages. Not to be confused, as you say, with digital file...

    Grainfather!!

    I've only done two batches so far, but I used the GF online calculator and it's dead on.

    Grainfather!!

    I had to check the instruction booklet to see what you meant by "locking" the grain basket. Sure enough, they mention locking it, but they don't say how that is done. I simply followed the instruction to lift the basket and turn it so the tabs rest on top of the ring, and left it at that. I...

    Grainfather!!

    I've only done two batches so far in my GF and both times I throttled it back a little to prevent any overflow. You got me to thinking about it, and you're right that it wouldn't have any effect on how much flow went through the grain. Further thinking (dangerous, I know!) led me to think of...

    Where did you get the figures for your mash and sparge volumes? For a 5.25 gal. batch, the Grainfather calculator calls for 4.81 gal. mash water and 2.65 gal. sparge water for a 60 min. boil, or 2.91 gal. for a 90 min. boil. https://www.grainfather.com/brewing-calculators

    Keg not carbonating.

    It's a long shot I suppose, but if you suspect that the gas may not be CO2, you can test it by bubbling it into limewater. Here's how to make limewater. If it's CO2, it will make the limewater cloudy. http://www.hometrainingtools.com/a/making-limewater-solution-science-teaching-tip

    Grainfather!!

    Yeah, mine has the original controller. Is the new controller eventually going to be original equipment? I just assumed it was an option. If it is going to be included, I would bet they will raise the price. I'm not sure I know exactly what additional features are included in the new...

    Grainfather!!

    Well, I pulled the trigger and bought one, too. So far, no regrets. In fact, everything went smoother than it's ever gone with my propane system. I brewed my first batch Monday, and it's finishing up fermentation now. I really like this thing! My grain bill was only 8lbs. 10 oz., so I really...

    Any corny kegs to avoid? Favour?

    I once bought used Cornelius kegs that someone had put Firestone posts on. I couldn't find poppets that would work right, so I had to buy the right posts for both kegs. That was an expensive mistake. Just something else to look out for when buying used.

    Name That Skyline - Picture Game

    I lived in Tampa for eight years, but never saw it from Safety Harbor! I was zoomed in on Google Maps slowly moving up the shore looking for nicely manicured lawn, when I guessed Cove Cay. Later I zoomed out and realized you'd be looking at Tampa through the Bayside Bridge. D'ohh!! This one is...

    I'm a slow learner. I didn't even realize I was getting a clue (TMI), so I searched for "4 tower nuclear power"!! :p

    Without the curved building to search for, I'm sure it would have taken a lot longer. I don't make it to Mongolia very often. ;) Let's see how this one goes.
