    Force carbonation: lots of head pressure, still flat beer

    About 40 psi on top for 8 days and the beer pours flat.* Full keg. Weird, so I drank a few pints and pressurised again. Week 2 and same result.

    So, I fell asleep....during a boil

    It was a little nap, nothing less than 15 minutes and probably no longer than 3 hours. But suffice it to say... My 48 litres of 1068 wort danced its luscious dance till I upgraded my conscious state to 'functional' and turned everything off. Now, before the H&S committee have a tanty just...

    What caused you to change your job

    An interest of mine at the moment... Among fellow Brewers (and lurkers), what has been a reason or two for you to decide changing jobs? Was it ever because of a tiny thing and the market was booming; or how much did you put yourself through before finally making the choice. Did the new job...

    LessonLearnt: Temperature Probe Connectors

    I want to share a lesson I knew but had to learn again it seems. My brew rig is gradually adding on electrical control systems. As nearly everyone has seen, the PID is one of the standard modules to enable reasonable temperature control of a process variable (PV) - the thing we're measuring to...
