iPhone/iTouch Calculators

 Email Article To a Friend View Printable Version 
Site NewsJust playing with Safari and I thought I'd port the beer calculations I use most often to something more useable on these platforms. These won’t work very well on regular browsers because I've not written them in such a way as to query the platform; and there are still some validations and display fixes to be added -- but they basically work.

If you've an iPhone/iTouch with connection the Internet, maybe you'll find these useful; maybe not!

MicroCalcs

Enjoy!

Upgrades

 Email Article To a Friend View Printable Version 
Site NewsThanks to Steve J., I've some nifty new upgrades to the brewery. These are solid stainless steel pipes bent to fit my kettle. Note the pickup goes about 3/4 of the way through the larger bottom tube. I'm hoping this means another pint or so recovered. Brewing now so we'll find out soon! Thanks, Steve!

Dead Freezer, New Fridge

 Email Article To a Friend View Printable Version 
Site NewsWell, the small fermentation freezer has died.

Thanks to the magic of Craigslist, I've a relatively inexpensive fridge that is about to get a second chance at life as a kegerator.

And it turns out the other one died, as well. So now there are two new ones. Again, Craigslist find.

Brewery Updated

 Email Article To a Friend View Printable Version 
Site NewsThe brewery is back in production.

New couplers have been welded into the kegs.

New stainless unions have been added which means I don't have to fiddle with tools during setup/teardown.

The first "new" brew is a Bohemian Pilsner.

Site NewsThe holiday season already?
I'm hoping to have a nice APA, Porter and a very, very young RIS on tap.
We'll also have some cherry mead and a melomel of sorts.
What are you brewing?

Welcome!

Site NewsWelcome to TexanBrew.com!

The brewery has been shut down for a bit as I upgrade the plumbing. I'm in the process of getting the kegs ready to accept 1/2" couplers welded and redoing the plumbing so those parts that have to be removed after each brew session are easier to clean and reinstall.

My hope is to be brewing again by mid June or the July 4th break at the latest.

Wish me luck! !
 

Happy Texas Independence Day!

Site NewsOn March 2, 1836 the Texas Declaration of Independence from Mexico was signed.

It was during this time the siege of the Alamo was ongoing where many an adopted Texan would lose their life in a massacre that still inspires today in the words, "Remember the Alamo!"

Enough history, I believe I'll have a beer.
