Hey Matt, I haven't gone further with the BrewMonitor project. Tech has advanced so fast over the past 2 years it's something I'd love to get back to some day!

Nice! Keep us posted.

It's still chugging along. We're planning a China trip in the coming weeks to meet a manufacturer who can do injection moulding. With the samples underway we'll be pressing ahead with a launch on Kickstarter. So many projects launch too soon with no concrete plan for production, we really want...

Xaxis, could it be resting against the side of the fermenter at times? I am concerned this could make it sit more vertical and read artificially high values.

It's taking time but things are certainly on the move! 1. Our new and improved custom power adapters are in production and will be better than ever. Basically, we absolutely loved the modern compact adapters that went into the latest batch of digital stirplates and we've worked with the...

Thanks guys, your support is what keeps us innovating. Yes, they'll be the new version, hence the delays. It'll be worth it in the end!

Yes. Ideally the bar should never throw, but with stir bars becoming demagnetised or users pushing the envelope with different glass vessels the problem does pop up from time to time. We ran tests with the DC fans in the past but because of their asymmetry it was less than trivial to implement...

1. We're moving away from fans to DC motors. The fans were awesome for reliability and performance but hard to assemble correctly and the DC motors will enable faster control loops and cool features based on monitoring changes in current draw. :ph34r: 2. We're going Arduino and open source...

It's arrived in the mail but I've been overseas and haven't had a change to open the package yet. I'll post a video when I get it working.

Hey Burt, At this stage we're looking at 5-6 weeks for production. Sorry for the delays, we're updating the design so it's been held up a bit.

Trying to choose taps for these mini kegs - are flow control taps: A) a marriage made in heaven given that we have practically no beer line to slow the flow? B ) futile bubble makers given that there is such a high pressure differential across the tap? C) somewhere in between A) and B ). EDIT...

I'm interested, please add me zorco!

I was watching these for a while and a good thread with user feedback is over here. They sound like an elegant solution but ignoring the price you still may not be satisfied with their noise and limited performance. If space is your main constraint maybe you could save up a few extra pennies and...

Interesting. We test the 2A adapters with a jig that loads them up to close to 2 amps and sounds an annoying buzzer if they pass, but I'm not sure how close to 2Amps off the top of my head though. The Yeast forge currently drains about 1.5A max, so it would be nice to squeeze out a few extra...

Thanks for the stir plate comments, alas they are not as cool as Brewometer because they aren't wireless... yet. So I just pushed the button on a Brewometer. It was AUD$210.03 total. You guys talked me into it. When SWMBO finds out I'm blaming you guys :lol:

Awesome, that's the best feedback about it I've heard so far. I'm running out of reasons not to tap the buy button :unsure:

I had a number of problems with this brew. It ended up going oily and slick from with the roasted coconuts or the cacao nibs. It also tasted really sweet in the end and I ended up tossing it. Oh and the shredded coconut got into my ball lock and clogged it so make sure you use a bag of some...

Cool, I'll see what we can do to handle leak detection economically. I really want to try and keep the scales cheap since some of us have a LOT of kegs :)

Great tips thanks! Lots of ideas here I haven't read before while researching for the recipe. I'll try the thawing/freezing idea and I might bump up my fermentation temp a little. Thanks, I hope the US-05 is neutral enough to allow the raspberries to shine.
