Plymouth, MN - terrible tap water for brewing
Just a rant for my sanity...

It's been quite a while since I've brewed.
Why is it that beer equipment quits working when not being used. It's like clothes shrinking while being on a hanger for a long time. How does that happen?
Getting ready to brew today and my long-time headless Craftbeerpi3 controller built with a Teragady 4.2 board quit working. Good thing it quit while I was just starting to get the water up to mash temp and not at a more critical stage later.
It's been years since I made it and all those brain cells are gone.
Going to try to install Craftbeerpi4 on the PI and see if I can get it going.
Meanwhile, my yeast starter is still spinning on the stir plate.
Hopefully I can get Craftbeerpi4 working, configured with my setup and understand the software enough to brew yet today, or at least the next couple of days.
