sorry I can't make it guys, that's the date of the Beoir AGM (in Kilkenny)

[Partridge9]

That's a pity, no worries.

[Partridge9]

Okay only 8 days to go on this one.

This event is a great family occasion - what I like about it is that it promotes innovation, engineering and creativity. I cant think of a more creative bunch than the homebrewers we have here in the NHC. So we really need to demostrate and showcase the innovation we have in the NHC at this event.

So .. what are we going to show ??


Homemade Stirplate - with active yeast (and some fans)
Active fermentation in 1 gallon jar.
BrewPi in action
Hacked STC 1000 with fermentation schedules
etc ..

Want to get involved ?? You dont even need to bring anything  - we need bodies to spread the good word

Why not add your name to the list - its a great event and all it will cost you is a little time.

04. Will_D - All day hopefully

Will bring along the STC-1000+ and the Arduino so if you have one and need it flashing then bring it along and we'll see what can be done!

[Partridge9]

Lads I'll bring along a stirplate

Also do a 5 litre batch so we can see a live fermentation.

Anyone got a brewPi ?

[Shane Phelan]

I'm working on a ZigBee based wireless temperature monitoring thing for Saturday. I will print out custom enclosures for it as well if I can.

[Partridge9]

Sounds good Shiny !

Anyone else bringing stuff ?

Thanks a mill

Any Gadgets or Gizzmos you can bring along Rossa ?

[Rossa]

Not a whole lot.My system is very basic I'll have a think about it.

[Partridge9]

No worries - not that anything is required of course - we will have plenty of bits there.

[GrahamR]

Will have to give a miss Im afraid, grandparents are coming up from Kerry Saturday

[Partridge9]

No worries Graham - thanks for trying !

[Partridge9]

Had Chat with the Mad Malahide Scientist

Good idea for a handsey-Onsey experiment

One glass of water, one glass of water with sugar and one glass of wort

Measuring the ABV in beer using Hydrometer and refractometer.

Also the usual stir plate and a 1 gallon fermentation.
