    Homebrew Talk 3D Print Thread.

    I concur. Just enough taunting to push me over the edge and actually create that thingiverse account. Check it out here. I too had a few busses in my day (a 1973, and a 79). Last year I tried to see if I could buy one for ol' time sake and got sticker shock.

    Homebrew Talk 3D Print Thread.

    I made a VW tap handle for a buddy of mine a couple years ago; I don't keg yet. I followed this technique. However, instead of having a slot for nut to slide in the side of print, I just epoxied the nut to hex cavity I created in print. Unfortunately I don't have pics to prove it.

    Chest Freezer Specs and Layouts

    Sorry for delay, I was out of town. I have this model. I use it as fermentation chamber. Is there something I can get for you? I don't have kegs to measure.

    BrewPi@ESP8266, no need of RPI and Arduino.

    Are you questioning the purpose of this thread? If so, the purpose is to not use a raspi. In case you have not noticed, over the last two years, the price of a Rpi has gotten crazy, if you can even find them. I have no spare Pis (but a few ESP8266 laying around) and found this project very...

    BrewPi@ESP8266, no need of RPI and Arduino.

    Yes that is what I am doing. I use the 5V out of ESP8266 as relay VCC and Digital pin out of ESP8266 (@ 3.3V) to turn relay on/off. I was trying to settle a myth that I found prevalent online that said the on/off signal must be 5V (not 3.3V) in order to work properly.

    Brewpiless controller board

    I was planning on using one of these 2Pcs AC DC Converter Module Universal 110V 120V 220V 230V to DC 5V 12V Isolated Switching Power Supply Board (DC 5V 2A Version) Is that not safe?

    BrewPi@ESP8266, no need of RPI and Arduino.

    Just posting this here in case someone else looks for this info... I am currently doing a Brewpiless build. V1 (breadboard version) is running a Black IPA now. I have a 120V AC / 5V DC relay module that is pretty common and read somewhere that since these ESP8266 boards only use 3.3V output...

    CO2 generation over a week

    This is your run of the mill safale us-05 that was harvested from a previous brew. Only thing interesting about it is that I has been dormant in my fridge for a year. For me the big difference in this brew is the use of a temperature controlled fermentation chamber. My purpose of this thread...

    CO2 generation over a week

    10 days in, still seeing CO2 bubble every minute and a half. I think just think that is so unusual. Not worried. Just curious. I want to dry hop, but will wait a few more days I guess.

    CO2 generation over a week

    This is my first batch ever where I used a freezer+arduino temp controller for fermentation. I am seeing CO2 generation still after a week. Temp has cycled between 65 and 69 degrees F. In the past, I always just tried to regulate temp using ice packs. I have never seen this before...

    No-Chill Brewing?

    Can you expand on this comment please. I was planning on doing this when I finally get around to building my temp controller, but want to understand your point.

    No-Chill Brewing?

    @chthon with fullest of respect, I don't think your method of using a plastic bag solves the issue. If in fact your plastic bag is "air tight", the moment you remove the bag, air will rush in as negative pressure results from the cooling wort. I prefer to have this air, in the least, filtered.

    @grzrk please keep us posted.

    No-Chill Brewing?

    I do BIABFIAKNC. That is brew in a bag, ferment in kettle (chapman univessel), and no-chill. So at end of boil I clamp lid and a put in kitchen sink to cool enough to move to out of way location. During cool off, I have a air filter attached on lid so i can draw sterile(hopefully) air...

    Chest Freezer Specs and Layouts

    I was looking for the smallest chest freezer I could use for fermentation chamber. I searched this thread but found no posts confirming the use of a 3.5 cu ft.. In any case, I purchased a Magic Chef 3.5 cu. ft. Manual Defrost Chest Freezer from Home Depot. In case the link goes bad, it is...

    Am i overthinking this?

    So it sounds to me when I get around to buliding my ferm chamber controller, I should have a probe in the center of the fermenter and one on the side (isolated from env) and avg the two temps to get the best idea of wort temp.

    Just getting into Kombucha,

    So I have read about kegging Kombucha, but there is a detail I am missing maybe you can help @eric19312 . When in the keg with flavoring addatives, how do you keep that stuff from clogging up the liquid line?

    Just getting into Kombucha,

    I too am just getting into Kombucha. I am in the "trying to grow my SCOBY" stage from a store bought bottle. Been fermenting for like 3 weeks and very close to a full thin layer. Waiting is very hard to do, lol. I like those NB fermenters. When I go to make my first batch I am gonna try to...

    Need more GT Synergy Bottles

    Just getting started in Kombucha so doing research on bottling options. As a homebrewer I was hoping I could re-use my beer bottles and caps. However, I have read/watched many that say Kombucha pressurizes to a higher level >60psi than beer. Beer bottles only rated at maybe 50psi.

    Homebrew Talk 3D Print Thread.

    I love this thread. Very inspirational and reminds me that there are so many uses in our hobby for custom items. Here is a Carb-cap wrench I made. Super-simple, but I was having trouble unscrewing these things by hand. edit: I have been printing for 4 years, Ender 2 v2, Openscad, Cura.
