I'd like to get back to Tuesdays as well. That is the established day in the bylaws. We have been trying to get back on the 3rd Tuesday/Thursday time frame but have been prioritizing venue quality over schedule. Despite AB 2172 making sharing homebrew legal, finding a different quiet room that allo...

I'm out for this one.

Exactly what Curtis said. A glycol reservoir in a chest freezer doesn't have any physical contact with the chiller, so chilling the glycol is done by cold air convection. That is incredibly inefficient. Using the window AC units puts the condensor coil directly in the glycol which cools it VERY effi...

Below is a picture of my valve setup. I used a cross fitting to attach the spunding valve, gauge and corny post with a tri-clover fitting on the bottom. The corny post works well to vent the fermenter if you need to open it and also to recharge the Co2 if you're dry hopping, plus it makes it easy to...

Does it come with a crane or a ceiling mounted winch to lift the grain basket out?

I use BeerSmith. I have every recipe I've brewed back to the beginning of 2010. I make a copy of each recipe even if I didn't change anything in the recipe, my gravities may end up slightly different or even added tasting notes may be different. Easy to sort by date, style or recipe name and you can...

I'm sure you're up to the task!

Jokes aside, I was commenting on Brewpi, not Raspberry pints. Not sure if you guys have run Brewpi, but like I said. Never had an issue with it. I haven't used rasp. pints so I can't chime in. LOL, I hear ya. My point was backing up Brad about using an Rpi for these things. Don't get me wrong, I lo...

Seriously? You don't have a BCS to compare it to?

I had constant issues with the Raspberry Pints. It seemed every time it lost power, the OS got corrupted. So I had to rebuild the damn thing from scratch, every time. Eventually I just set up my home Linux box as a web server and hosted Raspberry Pints on a standard PC. Now it's rock solid. So I ca...

I'd take the growlers.

Also, I can refurb the regulator setup and add it to the club equipment. We have 2 manifold setups, but only 1 regulator for the club equipment.

Merry Christmas to all from Maui!

Beer scene isn't great here, but Maui Brewing is right across the street and they have solid beers.

Ditto.

Ryan at RIIP told me they were going to do a collaboration with Andrew at some point.

Once GameCraft has more beers going we should do one of our regular or off-month meetings there. We don't get to S. County very often.
