    iSpindle - DIY Electronic Hydrometer

    I just finished my spindel build. I am a Apple Computer user and don't know how to flash the board. Can anyone offer some advice about using this with a MAC? I would appreciate any help. Thanks.

    PicoBrew Zymatic

    I'm the banjoguy being quoted in this thread. I want to be clear that I really love my Zymatic. The support staff is incredibly responsive and helpful. They have send out replacements for parts without any questions asked. I recently had a problem with my Zymatic and they sent me a brand new...

    Questions about the Dry Yeast FAQ

    Lactose, carbing and bottle question

    Hi all. I have been following the cider discussion for about a month. I'm a new member in the middle of my first first cider brew. I've got two brewed in two secondaries. I fermented both fully. I am planning on adding lactose to back sweeten. I will also add a natural extract for apple...
