Hey BB: I found one link anyway ... looks like this guy is using the arduino now as well. I originally had this guy's page because he was capturing data via parallel and serial ports. There are "C" programming links ... a real plethora of info. Here you go: http://www.phanderson.com/ (EDIT...

BB .. I need to catch up with you on this one. I have some old links on this topic to share ... let me see if I can dig them out!

Well if it is to be a mead .. I'll certainly defer to the master. However, I'm willing to serve up some of the strawberry melomel that took a gold at the international mead fest.

Lemme know!

Dan

Yeah .. I was thinking I'd rack onto it out of primary...probably 4 -5 days after initial pitch.

Dan

Doh ... read it too fast ...

I'm heating strike water now ... looks like I'll go for a secondary addition.

How did your stout turn out Brad?

Gonna brew a stout today ... probably the Oatmeal stout from last year's state fair comp and I'm thinking of trying an experiment .. that is, adding a can or raspberry puree (I'm only going to do 5 gallons). So the question is, when to add? My first notion was in secondary ... racking onto the puree...

how long does it typically take for fridge to reach set temperature. The real question is "How long does it take the sensor to sense the desired temperature?" and the answer is (you gotta love it) ... It depends. Your fridge basically has 2 states, on and off. So it will stay on until the...

Nope .. all manual here.

No .. no CIP here ... I do empty out the vessels until they're mostly empty and then dump 'em manually. But my Mashtun is still totally manual ... aside from running off at the mouth and pushing my luck .. that is the only exercise I'm getting these days!

It depends on which type of device you're using ... if heating (like for a hot liquor tank) , then select H, if cooling (like a serving fridge / freezer conversion) select C. The temp you select is the temp at which the device turns on, the range allows for a few degrees of change so that there isn'...

The only thing I can think of that might be affected would be if you're using O2 absorbing caps ... I'm not sure they would be as effective if they were constantly covered by your beer. Anyone know for sure? Why in the fridge? Is this a lager of some sort? Or are you just keeping temps in the same f...

Love it ... but remember he's wearing my hat at my house!

I'll be sure to get a Pittsburgh fan here for the next brew day Brad!

I always likd the Blue / White Cobra stripes ...

Of course the "natural" would be a Red Stripe.

Just an FYI ... I've had to fabricate some wrought iron fencing as a part of my backyard remodel (need to bring the enclosing fences up to code). To do that, I cut 2 six foot existing panels down to 16 inch panels .. this left me with 4 panels that needed bottom rail welded on. I bought .065 1 by 1....
