    Adventures in sourdough brewing

    It's been a while since I posted this, so I thought an update is in order. In total, I was able to repitch the same sourdough yeast 9 times, the last beer being a pumpkin spice ale brewed in Aug of 2016, and it was delicious. The only thing that stopped me from going further with it is that I...

    BrewPi@ESP8266, no need of RPI and Arduino.

    Hi pocketmon. Great work on this. I'm a noob in these mcu devices, but do you think you could replace the I2C display with an SPI display with built in touch screen (using the ILI9351 library for display and XP2046 library for touch)? The touch screen would act as wake up and control. Or does...

    Adventures in sourdough brewing

    I haven't seen much mention of brewing with sourdough here, so I thought I'd post my experiences. This is not about making sourdough bread from beer yeast, but about brewing beer using sourdough yeast. About 4 years ago, as part of my bread-making obsession, I captured a wild yeast in my...

    Hello - and thoughts after first brews

    Hi all - another Albertan (Canada) here. First of all, thanks a ton to the hosts and folks here. I'd like to think your collective experience has helped me avoid many mistakes, and gotten me off to a good start. I've been an avid bread maker for years, and have been nurturing a wild-yeast...
