Well it's embarrassing to say that it's taken me about 20 batches of homebrew through my kegerator to determine that I think I have an issue with by brews oxidizing. I primarily brew west coast IPAs, and have found that shortly after kegging, they are fine. Nice golden color, aroma, and good...

I am really excited to announce the official release of the Flite sensor and controller for monitoring your keg level, temperature, and CO2 pressure! This was a project that I started earlier this year, and with awesome support and feedback from the homebrewing community, I've been working hard...

Needless to say I've had some free time on my hands with the quarantine. I've always wanted to be able to see the level in my keg without having to lift it, and always thought it would be nice to have temperature and pressure as well. I decided to build a keg sensor that monitors all of these...

Made the jump from extract to all grain a couple of batches ago, just getting around to posting some pictures. Here's my simple brew stand, less than $100 to build. It's on casters to roll it to the side yard when I'm not using it. The wife really appreciates that feature! Barely begun...

A little background, I used to do PLC programming for my prior company, and helped troubleshoot a problem with an Automation Direct DL240 for a client of ours. Fast forward a few years and they are throwing the old unit away due to other hardware upgrades, but the PLC is still functional. It...

My wife and I recently went on a two-week trip around Ireland/Northern Ireland. I must say, being a California hop head, my expectations for craft beer weren't very high. However, I was very impressed by a handful of breweries we visited throughout our trip. Here are a few that really stood...

Every once and a while, I try a beer that really stand out to me. This summer I tried "Coconut Contender" by Duck Foot brewing, and I've been looking for it in Northern California since then. Without any luck, I decided i'll try and brew it. Here's what I went with, it's currently in primary...

Hey homebrew guys! As some of you have seen, I recently developed an Android app to find breweries along a route to plan trips, growler fills, lunch stops, etc.. I just released an iOS version for it, its free to download and there aren't ads or anything like that. Credit to my Dad for the...

Diving back into homebrewing, with the winter months setting in, my wife and I thought a nut brown would be great. We started with an extract kit for a regular nut brown, but we wanted to try adding macadamia nuts. From what I have read, extracts are encouraged for nut flavors over using...

Hey guys! First of all, if this ins't the correct place for this, please feel free to move it and shame me with tar and feathers. I wanted to build a tower style kegerator from a current mini-fridge model, and I wanted to add a quick DIY with the parts that are available as of 12/2018. This...

Hey homebrew community. I just wanted to share an app I developed for my dad that some of you may find useful. Only available for Android right now. If you are planning a trip, this app will show the breweries along the way. Free to download, no ads or any crap like that...

Hey guys, first post here. I've brewed quite a few batches over the years but took a break a few years back. Just started brewing again and wanted to join to post a write-up on the DIY kegerator I made today. I hope to be active on this forum and contribute to the home brewing and craft beer...
