All Grain Beer Brewing: Another Apocalypse Themed Brew

admin — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 02:27:23 +0000

This is my first attempt at all grain brewing, solo. I basically took all of the left over ingredients I had from brewing a previous all grain bitter recipe with a friend and “created” this beer / ale with it. I plan on conditionin / ageing this beer in bottles where it will remain until the eve of Doomsday. I plan on having quite a collection of aged beverages to drink on that night, this being one of them. In the apocalypse line up so far we have a 2012 Doomsday Mead (Yet to be named) and this all grain beer (also yet to be named). Both of which are fermenting away nicely. For my next beverage, I’m thinking of perfecting some Super Atomic, High Alcohol Ginger Beer. For more on this, previous brews and up and coming brews, visit us at: http//:www.DrunkenAnglers.co.uk

Everyone knows that chemistry and beer go hand in hand, but can you guess what hops, barley, and Louis Pasteur have in common? Grant Wood, the Senior Brew Master at Boston’s Sam Adams brewery takes us on a quick tour of their world famous facility and gives a chemical explanation of the traditional four vessel beer brewing process. It’s about time all you home brewers out there get up to speed on your chemistry! [Note: At Sam Adams' Boston location, the mash tun is used as a substitute for the brew kettle because of the small size of the brewery.]

Beer Brewing System / Freescale Kinetis MCUs

admin — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 16:29:32 +0000

www.freescale.com – The Make It Challenge featuring Kinetis MCUs is Freescale’s latest design contest. This design utilizes Freescale’s Kinetis K60 Tower System and FreeRTOS operating system. The craft beer industry grew 12 percent in 2010 and new operators tend come from a home brewing background. Dogfish Head brewing company was famously founded with a five-gallon system. This project explores the idea of a beer brewing appliance with the target market being home brewers and small brewpubs and restaurants. The sweet wort production process can be labor-intensive, requiring precise control of temperatures and transition times. A five-gallon home brew batch can take four to five hours to do manually with much of that waiting for water to heat up. This time and labor can be expensive for the small brewpub not reaping the benefits of economy of scale. The Kinetis Beer Brewing System automates the process from the initial filling of water to the beer being ready to be cooled and yeast added. The user only needs to add the ingredients, malt and hops, and download the recipe via the network to the system. Automating the brewing process allows the user to focus on recipe creation and benefit from the repeatability provided via precise computer control. The time freed from the manual process could be the difference in financial viability for a small scale brewer. The prototype uses cheap rapid construction to successfully test ideas on how to automate the process.

My DIY Stir Plate for Home Brewing Beer

admin — Sat, 24 Dec 2011 00:29:58 +0000

First thing I got was a free cigar box from the liquor store. Then I went up into the attic to get that old PC. I got a fan and a hard drive out of it. I broke one of the hard drive magnets trying to get it out, then I remembered that I had some really strong magnets stuck to the fridge. At first I just stuck the magnet to the fan, but the fan wouldn’t start spinning on it’s own because the magnet was so strong. I ended up putting a washer on top of the fan, then the magnet on top of the washer. It was hard to get the washer and magnet centered on the fan, but once I got them in the right place I used hot glue to hold them down. I have no idea what the dc adapter is from. It’s 12.5v 180ma and it seems to be a good size for me. Then I went up to Radio Shack and got a rheostat and switch. The wiring wasn’t exactly easy for me but I finally figured it out. I could have left the wires as they were in the box, but I decided to make it look nice and neat and I’m glad I did. I also used a piece of wood to raise the fan so the magnet is right under the lid. Enough of that, here’s the parts list. Romeo Y Julieta cigar box: Free DC adapter: Free PC fan: Free Washer: Free Magnet: $19.99 www.amazon.com Rheostat: $4.29 www.radioshack.com Switch: $4.99 www.radioshack.com Stir bar: $4.05 www.amazon.com Knob: $2.99 www.radioshack.com I think thats it.
