A Musical Beer Bottle Sings Better Than You

6/13/2013

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."

The Fermostat!

6/9/2013

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 a range of as much as 5-7 degrees depending on its compressor and other factors. There is also no way to automate a fermentation schedule which is important when brewing certain styles and is also a great way make sure your beers finish where you want them to. 

You've seen our fermentation chambers that accomplish these goals but I'll be the first to admit that most homebrewers will not go through the trouble I did. Enter Caleb's Fermostat!  With its intuitive interface and design, it takes the old style johnson controller to a whole new level!

If he can get the support he needs through kickstarter, it could easily be the next great gadget for the serious homebrewer!  Check out his funny video below and if you like what you see, head over to his kickstarter page to read more.

Cheers!

Behold The BrewBQ!

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!
