There's a couple of threads on this forum about making Japanese-style "dry" beers, maybe they'd be worth a read. Normally, I'd find them for you, but because it's school holidays, we can't have good internets. Anyone remember 1200 baud modems? It's like that, but not as reliable.

I don't really remember how much "ROM" the PID library takes, maybe a couple of KiB, IIRC. I don't think it uses any more RAM than the few variables it takes, so 6x (or so) doubles, thus < 64 bytes / PID loop. Since you want to drive two of them, you'll need to ensure your displays have the CS...

Arduino Nano, knockoff, which can be had for about $5. There's also handy screw-terminal boards Writing from memory: 32k non-volatile "ROM", 2k RAM About 16MHz (or 4x the clock speed of a 1983 Microbee) These boards are basically the same as the Arduino UNO, except in a smaller format.

Well during the test-run (and brew) yesterday, it came into range OK (+/- 1.25C) on a ~60 litres HLT, 4500w element. Now this is getting to target temperature without me having to fiddle with it, I will reduce this OK-zone down to +/- 0.75C of target. There was a little bit of quaffing...

I just committed some minor changes to the code base: 1/ Fix that initial bogus temperature alarm message. With a trusty hair-drier I can confirm that alarms come and go, as planned. 2/ Set the PID parameters to P,I,D = 600, 0, 0 as per TheWiggman's experimental results - I'm going to test...

Oooh, I think I found it: Looks like it's cancelled. So it was CCCB, but now it doesn't matter.

The Central Coast Craft Brewers is a government registered official non-profit organisation AFAIK. The guy that started it - I don't remember his actual name, "Sama", dropped off the radar, and I only met him at the first few meetings. We paid initial membership fees (which I think was part of...

G'day Junker2017 (in my head I pronounce that "yoenker-twenty-seventeen") Quite a few people here make mead, there's 44 pages just discussing the "JAO Mead" recipe. I home you find some useful, or at least entertaining, information and comments here on AHB. cheers, -kt

Geeze, there goes my Succubus' Kiss Belgian Dubbel with truffle (and perhaps just a pinch of cayenne/sichuan). Inspired by Oglaf's Succubus (possibly ****, depending on your work). I'll have to think of something else now. :unsure:

I recently made a GF beer that was basically brown rice syrup and dark Belgian candi sugar. It doesn't have that sorghum-y taste, it looks like beer. I did make it too bitter, but that's just the recipe. The hardest part was the cost of the syrup.

I've been considering that question too, except for wheat beers. The idea (for what beers) is you start at (30 - <final temperature>), so if I want to finish around 18C, that means I should start at (30 - 18) == 12C. Source: “German Wheat Beers” (1992, Brewers Publications) Something I read...

Is it possible to see a video or audio-recording of his talk Les? There doesn't seem to be anything on the ANHC website.

@Abyss - what's "BEZ" ?

The "Tirage bells" don't screw into all cappers, so YMMV. My upright metal one is OK, the plastic weird-scissor-like one it wont.

Our local gas suppliers will check and fill a big household gas bottle for about $110 a year (bottle rental, services fees, whatever) plus the cost of the gas. I have 2x 9kg gas bottles, which I fill myself when empty ($22), and one lasts 3-4 months - I switch between the two (literally turning...

Lake Macquaire has/had 3D printers in Cardiff & Belmont Libraries. https://library.lakemac.com.au/services/3d-printer EDIT: They charge $6.60 per hour of printing time. Geeze! I hope it's a fast print, some take hours.

Geeze, you guys down there get all the fun stuff. I'd be there in a shot if it wasn't a 14 hour drive. But do you mean Sunday March 19th? It's the 16th today (Thur).

Does it really matter if the sides are 70mm thick? Or, isn't the insulation provided by 40mm of wood enough? Can you get someone with a table saw (or a hand circular saw) to cut down your timber? For the top fitting - maybe a quick run around the inside edge with a plunge-router to create a...

Since asking the original question years ago, I now have 3x of these pots. Two of them arrived with minor dents in them, which I was really not happy about. (Since then KK has added the option to ship them on a palette.) The local metal shop was able to weld in a threaded pipe OK (it wasn't a...

G'day Jordy007, hope to see you 'round. Our keg of "cider" just blew over the weekend. I'm glad to see the back of it, and of-course it's freed one of my taps. Only proper cider from now on. That kit one was so sweet (artificial) I had to dilute it down 50/50 with soda water to drink it.
