2nd place APA in Austin woohoo

Since we're doing Blue Bonnet and Ozapft. Also Lunar Rendezbrew and Big Batch Brew Off.

My coffee saison got completely shut down in the SHV category because it tasted too much like coffee and not enough like saison. I need to read the rules and scoresheets better.

First dark euro lager Second APA Second specialty ipa Third brewer of the year A good start to the circuit I think.

Looks like score sheets are posted to your account at http://bluebonnetbrewoff.org/bcoem/

Get a usb cable and an rj45 cable. Cut both in half. Solder and heat shrink the 4 wires in the usb cable to 4 wires in the cat5/6 cable, cut the other 4 short. Go into the other room and connect those same 4 usb wires to the same colored cat5/6 colored wires from the first time. Now you have 2...

I bought one and wired it up like usual. Then I tried to flash the firmware so I could begin troubleshooting relays and crap. It will flash but it has a hard time starting up. I get this. Jan 31 2016 14:42:13 Checking software version on controller... Most of the time I get this after...

Has anyone pulled the old UNO arduino out and put a photon in it's place? I have no interest in an lcd screen or anything like that so I'd like to just pull the uno and maybe replace it with a photon to keep out of the legacy repository. The main thing that pops up when I look at the difference...

I've got the hm tds ez and it reads 4 straight off my RO unit and has been at 4 for the whole year that I've been running this membrane. Straight off the kingwood, tx tap its 110, ozarka reads about 58. The only weird thing I have noticed is that if the RO water sits around anywhere, like the...

I don't know about Briess but when I use Rahr pale malt my pH is normally .3 lower than all the calculators expect.

Enter the same beer in multiple categories. It's more expensive but there's no way to know how the judges will behave IMO.

I've used it a couple times and I have to agree that it is more subtle than say something like citra or simcoe. 10 lbs 8.0 oz Munich (BestMÃlz) (12.0 SRM) Grain 1 93.3 % 8.0 oz Honey Malt (25.0 SRM) Grain 2...

I do this every time. Getting my wort to pitching temp, especially for lagers, is impossible with my tap water in the summer. Brew sunday, stick it in the fridge, pitch monday afternoon after work.

I hadn't seen those instructions. I haven't looked into it but that post is more than a year old. Perhaps the html from that post is different than what the updated script from the repository is looking for. I'd try sudo tail -f /var/log/apache2/error.log in your terminal and then try to hit...

Did you remove all the content from the beer-panel div? Or is it just not loading the correct php file for that div? That JS looks like its trying to draw a graph in a div that doesn't exist. From your page source <div id="beer-panel" class="ui-widget ui-widget-content ui-corner-all"> A...

So that's what it looks like when the heater you have installed is too powerful. Had to set the hair dryer to lowest settings to get it to stop moving the beer 2 degrees every time it kicked on for the minimum 3 minutes. I can't believe I didn't put one of these things together sooner. I won...

1-2 mins maybe, I was right at the point that I needed it and I had a newer brewer over trying to get him started with water chemistry. So I was a bit flustered. Of course everything that could of gone wrong, did go wrong.

Looks like it's working again. I tried the battery thing yesterday and it didn't do anything. This time I had it on and popped the batteries out while it was running. Left them out the whole time it took me to mix some buffer solutions, less than 5 mins. Now it is calibrating correctly and...

Guess I'll try that again. I will report back with results, mixing solution now.

Supposedly there is a 1 year warranty on the pocket pro + They wrote me back and said this : "Thank you for contacting Hach Technical Support regarding the Pocket Pro+. You may be able to improve the function of the probe by using fresh, unopened pH buffers to do the calibration. However...
