Heating the strike water for an ESB with partially Burtonized water. Beautiful sunny day with low humidity. Looking forward to getting outside!
Enjoy the weather. Stormy day here.
On a sad per note The part of Kentucky where my wife grew up is destroyed. Flooding was terrible the last few days. Thankfully everyone she has been checking on was evacuated.

Glad to hear everyone is safe Josh!
Haha imagine if I was still doing 1 gallon batches!
The wort for the (hopefully) tropical IPA is in the kegmenter. My batch of 2 row smash from a few days ago is fermenting unbelievably slow. The graph hasn't leveled off yet, which is good. But normally it's done by now. I checked the fermenter to see what is happening and there is krausen up to an inch below the keg posts 
thick foamy stuff too! This one's a head scratcher, but I gotta let it run its course. Fingers crossed it doesn't hit the gas post with the spunding valve...

I've got to transfer a cold IPA and a pale ale to kegs. Oh yeah clean the 2 fermenters and prep for a @Sunfire96 impromptu brew this weekend.

24 hours and no visible activity on any of the smack packs...I'll give them until this evening and if I still don't see amy signs of life, I'll get the WLP800 slurry out of the fridge and use that instead of WY2112.

Wired up now and connected to the solar charge controller.
It's quite basic, but will be better than nothing
She got a 3 oC bandwidth.
Since there is still a saison in it, I've set it to 25 oC, meaning, fridge will come on at 28 oC and switches off at 25 oC.
I figure that's roughly the temps where the saison has been sitting so far
At least I can test it.
The sensor is hanging against the side of my stainless steel fermenter (tied onto the handle).
Woo! Technology is so fun. I have a small square of insulation taped to my fermenter and my sensor probe tucks right in. I've also heard some folks use a jug of water to put the sensor to track their fridge temps.Wired up now and connected to the solar charge controller.

Hope you have enough bandwidth to meet up with us later!And I managed to get into the settings. Changed the bandwidth to 1.5 oC (just because now I can
And now it's time for a homebrew Cider
Although I know that it is a late night for you if you do
