So I bottled my apfelwein everything went fine. I planned on carbing half the batch and still the other. I added 1/3 cup to half batch and bottled. After i bottled i realized i didn't dissolve the sugar by boiling. Its been about a month and no carbonation yet. Should I mess with them at all...

I'm currently in the middle of something very similar. I'm using some easier to use parts (LM34DZ and Arduino) and is going to handle 1 - 6 temperatures and just switch some AC power (120v @10A) to turn on/off what ever hot/cold source you want (I was considering using a couple heating pads for...

My day job is writing a HMI/SCADA :)... I don't get free hardware though, so I was trying to find a cheap solution. All of my automation can be done on a PC I don't need any real time applications so I don't NEED a PLC (although i found some affordable ones on ebay, i just don't know if i'll...

So, I'm coming up with some plans for a fermentation box for my basement. My basement is cold so should only need a heating element but I was thinking about building in cooling for the ability to lager. So that got me thinking, next I'm going to do a chest freezer conversion... I thought, why...

Thanks for the help everyone, I'll leave it alone and see what happens. Should i do anything special when i put the siphon in to get the beer out?
