are you wanting to go with a wireless control? or use the Samsung tablet to control the Arduino via a direct connection. You have several options. Do you have a duel charge and otg cable for the table? I would think a full charge might not handle the whole brew day. I would assume the code...

no clue if it will hurt the beer, but this made me go clean my new pot with dawn dish soap and then some oxiclean. I plan on brewing with it the first time this weekend so hopefully, I do not get this white film

it was less than 20 for gas there and back, wife has a little car I look absurd in but it beats the truck for long trips. Figured the hamster engine could handle me and a couple bags of grain, I will find out next time

fan of US-05, have 3 packs in the fridge. Planning on washing yeast from now on and making a mini yeast bank, only need a few more vials to make this happen.

Thanks for the advice and websites. Next time I get out that way, I plan on buying a few bags. Might not be till next year.

So yea all my meetings all ran over. Never made it to LHBS before it closed. But did pick up a new 8 gallon pot today. Guess next time maybe

Jako, maybe i live to rural but how does one enter one of these? I have never seen a posting on one

If i was not all ready going for another reason I would not make the trip. I wish they had a website, I am planning on calling tomorrow to make sure they have what I want and the price. If it beats shipping and I am in the area why not get it? Thanks for the tip on the dry yeast, I did not...

It won't be carbed at all, I think it will affect the beer a slight bit, but you can re prime in a bucket and then bottle. I mean you made beer. You just need to finish it

I made a grain mill, The trip is not just for the LHBS, but it is also the closes store to me so a two for one trip. Gonna take a cooler thanks @brewbama. I didn't think of that. I have ice packs for days as the wife's monthly shot always has 4 of them in it. my plan i guess after...

Its about a 4 hour trip as I live in the middle of no where. If you could do over your first trip what would you get? budget is like 200$ thinking of going to biab instead of mail order extract kits. I have all the basics. Well enough to make 5 gallon batches and test everything...

Starting this today with 1.85 pounds of rye and 2.37 pounds of barley for a micro (1 gallon batch). Wish me luck!

update: fixed the buckets with nylon plugs and all is good, re-racked and i got bubbles. Enjoying one of these from my first batch :

2 o-rings opinion is new to me but have seen the debate on the spigot thing, only my spigots were made on Friday at the end of the day I think, or Monday after a long weekend. Yes i am loving my first brew

wish i would have saw this earlier. but either way, I just cracked open my first homebrew after 6 weeks, and its worth it

the actual spigot itself was leaking. the two o-rings for the bucket were fine. It turned out to be leaking at the handle and running under the bucket. I am a mechanic so I had some UV dye and i used that to find the leaks.

ok i used a 5 gallon bucket, left it at 4 gallons (maybe that high). And after my brewing was done got a chance to better inspect the buckets. Since both new ones leaked. Spigots came without o-rings. And the slight leak was found. Tomorrow I will get them both fixed. One completely blocked...

can i pitch the yeast in a 5 gallon buck and top off tomorrow when i rack to a new 6.5? Its cooling now. So much fun to scramble like this

Would it be ok to either let it sit with out yeast overnight. or rerack it tomorrow in a bucket ? I only have 5 gallon buckets, and the 6.5 bucket for some reason the bottom is leaking
