Cedar Rapids Brewing Society

Are we having the tech meeting on July 7th? If so, have we decided on a topic? I know we talked about doing the single hops beer series tasting. I'm going to be going through IC Saturday, so if we need to try and pick those up let me know.

I don't think we are going to do another tasting yet. We are going to try to spread those out due to the cost assoicated with it. Especially that one as those beers are extremely expensive.

Hell that is something we could do for the tech meeting ourselve with a little prep. TOM BURNS!!! did you finsh your Ferm-wrap yet we could do that if I ordered stuff on Monday.

No I haven't completed it yet. We could do that for the meeting. I also have a temp control box I need to assemble. It wouldn't take to much either.

Ok in an attempt to get TOM BURNS!!! of his ass to make his Ferm Wraps, we are going to build a firm wrap for the meeting.

What do you need from me to do this at the meeting TOM BURN!!!

Also could you send me the information for ordering the supplies, I may build one as well. or post here. Then whom ever is interested in building one at the meeting, can. Should make for an interesting meeting.

Here's the link from where I bought mine.

It takes about a week to get it. I bought 7' ( it's about 38" around a carboy) and 2 sets of connectors. I stole the cords off a couple old VCRs that I threw away. You want to be sure to have a polarized plug (the one with a big and little prong).

I shouldn't need you to do anything....... Well there is that thing you did for me the one night!

Why do you need a polarized plug? Since the film is just a big meandering resistor (like an electric hot plate), it's hard for me to understand why polarity would matter.

I guess I don't.

Wow DrPaulsen, what are you, an electrical engineer or something...oh yeah.

I'm just a hack at electronics.... kinda like my brewing.

I can bring a box of extra cord ends if you need them, I just cut them off the crap that eventually dies. If I remember right, they all should be a little more heavy duty with the ground plug.

I should be ok on cords. I don't know if anyone else will be building anything or not.

I'm sure it was in an earlier post but I can't find it. Where is tonight's meeting?
Thanks, Nic
