Here's what I've got: 3 Raspberry Pi Original Model B's (sadly ethernet version, but I do have one wireless USB dongle) 2 Arduino Uno's 2 Embedded Pi's (Triple play platform for Rasberry Pi, Arduino and 32-bit embedded ARM) 2 Arduino Mega ADK for Android A bunch of shields and breakout...

Awhile back I snagged this set for $11: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013QJ1JO2/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 After reading about how finicky Ph meters can be in general, I figured I should spring for a "nice" one and bought a Milwaukee MW102...

Finally ordered a water report from Ward Labs. This is from the North Valley. FYI - now to get working on my water treatment... :mug: pH 7.8 Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) Est, ppm 222 Electrical Conductivity, mmho/cm 0.37 Cations / Anions, me/L 3.8 / 3.9...

I'm headed there Monday/Tuesday nights on business... Haven't been there since grad school 10 years ago (wow, just realized I'm old!) Back then, my focus was on cheap drinks and loose... well, you know. Are there any good taphouses in Boston proper? I might be visiting family near Porter...

Just FYI - I went ahead and bought two of these from Amazon. I usually buy 2 Row and Maris Otter in bulk so these should be great to have around. $16 shipped! http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007RBB63K/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 :mug:

So I inherited two cheap welders, and I plan to use one of them to fabricate some simple gates out of 1" and 2" square steel tubing - 16 gauge. Which welder should I "tune-up" and get going? Both are probably fairly new, but haven't been used in a long time (if ever really). Harbor...

I just bought this without really looking into it. Come with a TDS meter too, whatever that is... Apply discount code: SHDF97OZ http://www.amazon.com/dp/B013QJ1JO2/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 Came out to just over $11 shipped for me - will this work well for measuring mash Ph?

Or maybe some fresh Zombie Dust? Or both? I'm heading to San Francisco next week so I'll be able to score some fresh Pliny The Elder. I've never had Heady Topper, nor Zombie Dust. I also have access to La Cumbre beers, which are gaining notoriety (especially Elevated, Project Dank...

I searched the forum, but I was surprised that this local "whale" beer didn't have it's own clone thread. The brewmaster recently released his recipe, so I plan to give it a shot in the near future. Anyone else brew a clone of this yet? It's amazing...

I stumbled upon a Craigslist ad for Hops Union hops and was lead to a new website (homebrewsupplys.com). It is still under development, but the prices seem outrageously low (1lb of Columbus pellets for $12?!) I ended up ordering 4.75lbs of assorted hops for just over $80 shipped :ban: I...

I bought a 4-tap DIY kegerator used, and 1 of the taps is slightly different than the others. In addition, the gaskets need replacing and I'd love to really tear them down and clean them up properly. Can anyone ID these (left and right are slightly different due to the barb at the back being...

I fried a turkey last year and it came out ok (was too conservative and overcooked it). I plan to do it again this year. Here's the issue: -Using my smallest kettle (8 gallon) -Using 30qt fry basket I purchased a la carte -3 gallons of peanut oil (Costco sized bottle) Last year the oil...

I rooted a centennial clipping this summer and transferred it outside a couple of months ago. It was doing OK but then a critter dug it up and I found it almost dead. I potted it in a small pot and it's tiny but slowly coming back to life. Should I let it frost over and die, or keep it inside...

So I brewed a Does XX Special Lager clone at 55F for 3 weeks, followed by 6 weeks so far in secondary (keg) at 40F. I tasted when I transferred and didn't think I needed a diacetyl rest, but now I just pulled a pint and it's very oily in the mouth. Would pulling the keg for a few days...

So I volunteered my CO2 setup for a friend's keg party, but I only have 1.5# according to my scale. Last time I did this I ran out and had to drive home and rip out my keezer setup. At what point should I just refill it?

I just ran through my 2nd AG BIAB batch and still have some dialing in to do apparently. My first batch was a Mexican Vienna Lager and I undershot OG by 4 points - no biggie because it tastes great so far. This batch however I totally overshot OG - 1.073 instead of 1.065 target! Two...

I have some strange looking plants emerging near the rhizomes I put in about a month ago. I started to pull one out and it seemed to be connected to a rhizome so I put it back in. Now another one popped up near a second set of sprouted cascades. These aren't hops right?!

So I ordered two crowns from Great Lakes, one Centennial and one Cascade. The cascade was a larger crown with more initial bines and seems to be doing okay, although a few brown spots have appeared. However, the Centennial crown has had much slower growth, with some browning/holes but...

I have some old starsan and would like to water my fruit trees with it if possible. Anyone done this? How about pbw?

So I finally have like 3 seconds of free time this weekend and dammit I'm going to brew! :ban: I got a Brewer's Best Pale Ale 5 gallon extract kit for Christmas, and I'm finally going to brew it. However, I think it might be a bit too tame for my liking. Recipe link HERE Essentially: 6lb...
