    Wine Barrel Kegerator

    Wine barrels are stored full of water at wineries when not being used for wine... the moisture keeps the staves hard pressed against each other - the way the cooper originally intended them to be. When you're not using it I'd think about putting a few gallons of water in it... a 1/2 cap of...

    What Did You Get For Xmas

    I scored a copy of Randy Moshers Radical Brewing, Jamil's Yeast book and a $100 beer fund donation from the bro-in-law who i always give a six pack of every brew to. Wife got me a session with a specialist dog photographer for my two wolves (whippet & maltese/poodle).... Whippet uses the small...

    Sage Gruit

    I've just taken a walk round the veggie patch with a crushed Riwaka flower thinking about brewing a gruit... Rosemary seems like it's got way too much oil and also make me think of roast lamb too much for a beer ingredient but sage seems like it might be okay. Anyone tried a sage brew? I've...

    Fanboys - These Members

    But the current 5* system isn't intuitive. You have to access it by leaving the thread you're reading and goign to a member's profile. Why not have it linked directly via a button on the footer of each comment eg. "like" that is a simple click, has a visible tally, and doesn't interrupt the...

    Fanboys - These Members

    There's quite possibly a simple way to implement some code on the forum tablet that uses either the Google +1 or something similar to gather an aggregated consensus on posts. With a little bit of tinkering that could be linked to OP user names and an additional line created on the profiles with...

    Kettle Lagging / Insulation

    Do a search on Insuladd It's a ceramic dust additive that you add to regular paint to make it insulating. Quite a few wineries have used it on their tanks and a lot of people use in on roofs. I did my MLT last year and it worked so well that I've just done the HLT and Kettle in the latest...

    Arduino Development Thread

    Guys, I'm new to Arduino and will be modifiying my brewery soon but I just wanted to share something with all you other interested noobs - I found a beginners guide that's pretty damn good at explaining the whole process. I've uploaded it to the Internet Archive. You can download it for free...

    Automated Herms

    Just got the Getting Started With Arduino book from an online source that 'might wear an eye-patch and have a wooden leg' and it's all making sense. Seems pretty simple really. Might have to buy a starter kit and get it going over the holidays.....

    American Buffalo Wings

    That brings back mamories.... Hooters have the best wings. I used to spend many a saturday in the anahiem hooters... To get the real wings flavor we need a Hooters here cos the distraction is half the taste - you eat with your eyes before food ever gets to your lips... So just think what most...

    Automated Herms

    Like your thinking Zizzle. Just downloaded the Arduino IDE and read some of the basics online - need to learn the programming language... but already I can see the possibilities here.

    Automated Herms

    I have a small secondary element that should pull 6amps.... I figure it should put out enough heat @ 1400w coupled with the thermal mass of the water to keep the temp where I need it... Early days though. Need to do a lot of reading and figuring out. Without working the small details out I'm...
