Dry Versus Ferment Hopping

[DanRayner]

Your use of tar unnecessarily increases both disk usage and CPU usage. You fail to remove the tarball after it is extracted into /fermenter.
I would suggest you replace the tar with a simple

cp -a

. Perhaps some checks on /proc/fermenter for temperature and residual sugars along the way, so we know when it's finished, rather than just waiting a predetermined 10 days?

Beer plus linux plus bash scripts plus anime = heaven

There is a reason to keep this thread going after all.

This thread reminds me so much of http://forums.overclockers.com.au/showthread.php?t=918462 not sure if membership is required to visit that forum, but I'm sure half of you are members as ocau. can't help but wonder if speedie is Fortigurn's friend he speaks of. The first few pages are gold (well, I thought so...)

[ tar == mash ]

The persistence of the tarball allows a recover feature should the yeast cp return nonzero exit status, possibly due to broken symlinks. A Dropbox backup would also be suitable.

fridge_temp_control could be dynamically updated with another python script to monitor /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/fermenter/temperature via a cron job if one was in a hurry.

Of course, I shouldn't forget the important stuff;

if ( airlock_bubbling == .false. ) release(all_hell) && ./post_to_AHB.sh

Yes, however if a cp returns nonzero due to broken symlinks, a tar would also fail to include such important files. What happens if *.yeast is a broken symlink? I think in that case all_hell will have already broken loose!

A viable solution, indeed. Not just for those in a hurry, but those seeking the most efficient use of resources.

Of course, I shouldn't forget the important stuff;

if ( airlock_bubbling == .false. ) release(all_hell) && ./post_to_AHB.sh

Yes, I can definitely see a use for that condition. Well done.

The post_to_ahb.sh is most definitely a necessary step!
:lol: :lol:

A grand fight it is indeed! Ah yes Hatchy but which side will you choose, Bonj or QB? I am not sure where LRG is in this picture.

I thought I was nerdy. With my knowledge of the english language poor at the best of times, and my knowledge of scripts even less, I understood the last few posts (and found them funny as f@ck) far more than anything Speedie has ever, or will ever post on this board.

Speedie = F@cktard. Mods piss this guy off, he contributes nothing of substance and BTW steals my O2... bastard...

That sounds like an enigma :lol:

 

[jyo]

Ah, I've found the issue and written a script to patch the problem;

====
#!/bin/beersh

tar czvf wort.tar.gz *.grain *.hops *.water
mv wort.tar.gz fermenter/
tar zxvf /fermenter/wort.tar.gz
cp *.yeast fermenter/
mv fermenter/ fridge/fermenter/
setenv fridge_temp `echo yest.cfg | grep best_temp'
sleep 10d
echo 'koppafloc' >> *.beer 2> trub
find fermenter/ -name 'haze' -exec mv {} /dev/null/ \
echo 'CO₂' >> beer | glass
exit 0
====

and I've packaged it all up with a makefile so all I need to do now is type

make beer

Ok. I think, finally, that I understand this thread now.

Sheesh I am glad of that cause I was scared you'd get all Vulcan on me.
But hey don't try any of that Jedi mind control on me though!

Hey Master Yoda what do you make of all this?
Mmmm, Speedie, interesting is he. Listening may he not be, mmmm?
