[benhobbs]

I'm another IT geek...

Network admin and everything else for a medium sized Sydney company.

I have been trying to apply all my geek knowhow to my brewing... So far I have some temp controlled brewing fridges run off my PC, another standalone digital controller on my serving fridge, and just recently acquired another digital controller for my HLT.... My wife has noticed the electricity bill going up, but she hasn't associated it with the brewing yet...


Cheers
Ben

Work 3 nights a week in a pub just to help keep me sane.

Sounds like serious fun Ben. I dwell in a small dwelling at the moment (one bedroom apartment shared with GF and several plants that call themselves 'indoor-structibles', but they're mostly dead). When we FINALLY move in September, I am hoping to apply all the geekiness I can muster to my brewing... PC-controlled/monitored temps, flow rates etc. Have you seen this site: The Kegbot Kegerator

It is basically designed as a commerical method of measuring beer dispensing temps and volumes...although this guy's college buddies just like seeing how much they've drunk! The software exports the data to a website, so they can instantly see how much they've consumed... great stuff.

If you have the means, would it be possible to post some pics or details of your setup (in terms of temp monitoring with your PC etc)? I'm very interested in this type of thing.

Cheers,
Bugwan

funny how threads never die at this site... anyway

i have nothing to do with IT, science, engineering, trades of any sort, or any of the usual vocations of geekery and DIy-ery that usually get people making beer. i'm not even a proboscis monkey. i'm a professional classical singer, also do research assistant work at uni to make ends meet - currently studying high school music teaching and will have my first real job by 2008!

[Jens-Kristian]

27 years old, living in Denmark . . . which is also where I'm from.

Engaged to the lovely Thea, who is also here in Denmark, but is from Melbourne where she and I are hoping to go to live before very long. That is if they'll let me in on a longer basis than the mere three months I'm allowed, and preferably with a work visa and a job that means I can work from home as a writer/researcher or such. That would be about the perfect job anyway. It would also give more opportunity to brew!

Anyway, I'm currently supposed to be finishing my thesis on Kantian and Romantic Aesthetics but haven't really managed to get far enough as I've had a lot of work over the past couple of years, too:

Editorial position with a publishing house specialising in educational material

Telemarketer (argh!!)

Manager of the Danish branch of a Scandinavia-wide Telemarketing company. Did quite well too.

Currently I'm back at the editorial stuff. The telemarketing management thing . . . well, I'm happier in Editing. What I have at the moment though is at best part-time and seriously I need to get something going soon.

Anyway, I'm hoping I'll get the thesis together within the next few months so I can get my MA in English finished and done and behind me and concluded and . . I need a beer!

So, if anyone knows about something of that sort in the Melbourne area and desperately wants a Dane to do the job, you know I'm here lol!


Cheers,

Jens-Kristian
