Temperature controllers are becoming all the rage with brewers these days and who can blame them?? If you want great brew, then you need to control the temp of fermentation very carefully.This isn’t the first temperature control module that we’ve covered but it’s one of the nicest! It checks the box for all the must-haves including:Temperature Profiles – automatically adjust temperatures over timeDual outputs – control multiple devices with a single Model-TDual temperature probes – control one or both outputs independentlySupports wall or panel mountingRequires no wiringOpen Source hardware and softwareWireless connectivity over your WiFi networkControl from anywhere with Internet connectionOh, and a Kickass user interface!Check out all of the details on kickstarter or BrewBit.com.

Thomas Edison, one of the great inventors of our time, created a music player called the phonograph which played cylinders that were inscribed with music. Flat discs, better known as records, eventually took over and Edison was forced to give in and change his design.Now, after all these years, a new form of etched media was created as a marketing collaboration by Beck’s record label project. What does it play you ask? It’s a song by the New Zealand indie rock band Ghost Wave called “Here She Comes.”Check out the full article courtesy of CNET here.

Hello there BrewGeeks. Temperature control is one of the last great frontiers to achieving the best homebrew possible, usually because it’s not easy to dial in the perfect temperature. Cost and specialized knowledge can factor into how this is accomplished. A common method is to buy a freezer and hook up a johnson style controller to help maintain temperature. This device allows the brewer to set and maintain a temp by turning the freezer on and off. It works well, but does have a few shortcomings. First, a single-stage unit is focused only on cooling and does not connect to a heat source to raise the temperature when necessary. This means when it’s set to, say 55 degrees, the actual temperature in the freezer can fluctuate within…

Brewing is a creative past-time where a good recipe is downright awe-inspiring. New homebrewers quickly realize that, although we stick to the basic rules, brewing techniques can vary and the equipment used can be just as motivational.kaeptnerdnuss demonstrates this here with the clever repurposing of a stainless BBQ grill that he calls the BrewBQ!Click the link below to check out the rest of his pictures.[Read More]

Over atBON APPÉTIT’s site, Paul Kermizian, a child of the 80s (like pratically everyone in my circle of friends), chimes in on what classic 80’s video games pair well with which beers. Here are a few for you.. click the link at the bottom for the rest.Tapper with Sly Fox Helles Golden Lager or Victory All Malt LagerIn 1983’s Tapper you control a mustachioed bartender who must serve wave after wave of increasingly surly patrons; cowboys, jocks, punk rockers, and, eventually, aliens. The game was originally, and somewhat controversially, branded with the Budweiser logo, but, says Kermizian, “we’ve always had the fantasy of hiring someone to reprogram the ROMs on our Tapper machines to have a craft brewery logo.” As for a pairing, “There…

There are several ways to try ingredients before your brew day. Common techniques are tasting wort, chewing on grain SMASH beers or making a test batch. None of these approaches are ideal since making a batch that doesn’t turn out as expected sucks and tasting wort isn’t the same as a finished beer. In this tutorial, I will show you how to isolate different ingredients, in small batches, all at once. We will focus on five grains today, but there’s no limit to the number of batches you can brew on a given day. But there’s more! You can use this technique to test hops, different yeasts strains or to design a beer recipe! [Read More]-Scoundrel
