I got a bunch of straight Swagelock fittings. Santa must be psychic...

The level of your boil was not likely the problem. I have seen several different brewers do their thing, and even amongst the best the idea of a rolling boil varies quite a bit. As long as the water is rolling you are good. Although sanitation is very important in this case it is not likely...

It may too much to ask, but can you add the manifold and plumbing you are planning on using? I may be convinced to hard plumb my stand, although I'd like to see an example of some good hard plumbing.

Dieu du Ciel! Route des Epices (Spice Road). An interesting beer; it has a hint of peppercorn that flits about on the surprisingly short finish.

How come there is no 'yes' option? :D

I second the gift card idea. Giving a sum of money that is 'already spent on brewing' is a great option. You could go with a certificate to your local homebrew shop, no doubt he has a favorite he frequents.

redm18, the answer to your questions depend on the type of probe you get. If you get a Thermocouple or Thermistor then you can just use the onboard GPIO pins. The upside is that they are cheap and found just about everywhere; the downside here is that they don't have a linear curve so they...

What dT/dt are you looking for? It would take me all of 5 minutes to put one in a pot of water and bring to decent temp and then drop another in to see how fast it rises to temperature. Obviously the larger the differential the greater the rate of change, and I think the temperature will be...

Sorry I'm late to the party. I'd like to help out around here, as I'm in the same boat. Assembling a new rig, and planning on using a pi to keep things in check. Here are a couple of thoughts I had when ripping through the pages: - There is a One-Wire patch for the rPi, as helibrewer...

How are you getting water into Zeus? Is see the hot water heater for heating water, but it isn't clear what the source of your water is going to be. Is the plan to run a hose to the nearest faucet? Is there water filtration on there that I just can not see?

So you're the reason that metal prices have been going up :D
