Recently brewed my version of Sraid Dhasain for Paddy's Day and it's on nitro.

Great write-up, I've been utilizing this method for a couple years now. The only dangerous thing is grabbing the top of the flask after you're done boiling (it's hot btw). I have seen some "knock-off" flasks, so make sure you're using a lab grade one and you're good to go.

Try using some hop extract (CO2 Extract) for your next batch. I used hop extract in a Pliny Clone I brewed in the spring and it turned out amazing. I went with the 100g cans from http://www.yakimavalleyhops.com/category_s/1851.htm and bought some bulk syringes. Also, I've been doing a 45 min...

I read that on the RPints website under "choosing a display". Somewhere in there it talks about setting it up to run off USB from the pi but looks like it can't do both through USB only. So I was hoping to find either a display that I can power with USB, which also has HDMI, or a display with...

Great job on the build. I just ran through my inbox and saw one of your old messages that led me to this. You definitely don't need my crayola brutus wiring diagram anymore.

I just decided to tinker with a raspberry pi and started ordering what I need for a raspberry pints draft list. What make/model/size monitor are you using and how many drafts are you displaying? I'm looking to display 3 - 5 drafts. I also have a single outlet available behind my kegerator...

I suspected you had the NG ones installed. I initially had the same issue... Glad you got it working.

On my first set of burners I drilled and tapped a hole to fit a small brass plug, in which i painstakingly drilled tiny holes in to use as the pilot. As far as the fitting on the bottom, I'd have to look at that again, but i used the inverse flair fitting for the gas line hose that I used. I...

I just measured and they're between 2.5" and just under 3" for my boil burner because there's no asco on that one. Which burners do you have? I only get an orange flame if I have the valve turned too low. Have you looked at my earlier posts? I had to switch my original burners out. Also what...

I'll have to measure them and get back to you, but if I were to guess they're close to around 3". If you're looking from the front, the tips of the burners are below the bottom of my top support, if that makes sense. I had the soot issue with my original burners, eventhough they said they were...

I'm in...

Post pictures of your set-up. I've seen some cool rigs/sculptures/stands and just weird set-ups from brewers that i've met it the past. I'd like to see what you're using in NJ. Here's Mine: It's a clone of Lonnie Mac's Brutus 10. Currently located in Freehold, NJ.

So, I stopped in yesterday showing interest in picking the club back up. One guy was slightly interested, but they seemed very stand-offish. As in not wanting someone outside their clique running their club. The whole atmosphere in that place is just weird. I'll check it out one more time and...

I'm lucky enough to have family that brews in Milwaukee, WI and had the chance to visit the Northern Brewer there. So I've been somewhat spoiled. Here's some pictures from their self-service grain room.

Yeah, but i've recently been using them more often. They're really friendly and they'll get whatever you need, as long as you call ahead or stop in, they can order it for you. Their prices are good, I just picked up a 50lb sack of 2-row from them and 5lbs of rye. I'll call ahead now, but...
