    Beer and Fluid Dynamics

    Hate to say this, but the free beer is off. Here's why, and it took me a while to really say "OK, yeah, I get that.": the valve from the fermentation tank is a differential pressure valve, meaning it opens when the pressure difference on either side of the valve exceeds its rating. The run...

    Range Report IPhone built in barometer

    It is self explanatory, no doubt. Only have time to follow some of the threads, and with the emphasis on Station Pressure, Density Altitude, Absolute Pressures, erc, I hadn't seen memtion of it up to now. Like my iPhone even more now.

    Kestrel...do I really need one? I bought a 5700 Elite AB w/ LiNK but please keep the informative discussion going!

    Short answer: you need a wind meter. An active ballistics link wil take you farther and make you more accurate than you can dream. Don't skimp of its important. Kestrel: nice, but if you really want an integrated package, look at a SIG 2400 Rangefinder; cones with a wind meter that plugs into...

    Beer and Fluid Dynamics

    The valves we're talking about here are differential with respect to downstream pressure; tank "A" valve dumps int drain pipe that attaches directly to tank "B" and the second valve. Pressure in the drain system and catch tank is slightly below atmospheric. Pressure relief valves that vent tank...

    Range Report IPhone built in barometer

    Just discovered my iPhone 6plus has a built in barometer, and with the right app gives Absolute Pressure readings that match my Kestrel. Am I the last to find this out? Or is this where the AB app is gett ing the Absolute Pressure values it populates in the field?

    Diver, I think you right if we assume frictionless surfaces, that space is an Absolute Vacuum, and that Bill didn't inhale

    Wow...all that copper...the moonshiner in my DNA twitched when that page loaded...singlin's...doubled and twisted...makes me think about a new career path... add/edit: a new career in beer making, that is, because unlicensed liquor production is illegal. Just to be clear. Nonetheless, thinking...

    That was my explanation as well. The tanks are expensive, and yeah, the burst ratings should be nominally higher than rated, but he isn't willing to risk going against rated values. As far as the new tank mfgr., they were the ones who told him the pressures were additive despite similar valve...

    Thanks guys. You have no idea. I'll post the results of this revelation. Lager or ale?

    Beer and Fluid Dynamics

    I have a "friend" who has a "brewery". He has a pressure relief valve on the fermentation tank that pops open the drain at 100 psi. All was good until the tank that the finished beer drained into went bad and he installed a new tank. Nice, shiny, stainless steel, BUT (and there is ALWAYS a...

    How to find help

    If there's no reply its because I'm dealing with this thing in my brain. I'll get back when I can, sorry, it's frustrating when a change in the weather leaves me all but incapacitated. BTW, thanks for all your help, you've been the best resource in helping this guy; props to the Maggot all around.

    What makes it "not cheap"? And is it "not bad" for rural 40's? If I have that concept right, it's a 40 acre Ranchette...looking at one for sale this morning..

    Desert Tech TRASOL Official Thread

    That was it. The "auto size" function for text was set to max. Lowered the slider and everything looks perfect. Knew I was missing something on my end, thanks!

    What am I missing here: this is a screenshot from my iPhone 6Plus of the data entry screen. I can't figure how to make it readable.

    Yea, ruled out CO a long time back for reasons of liberality primarily. Weather is tough, too. Thinking of Wyoming; hard to believe it borders CO. Strongly believe they will enact "immigration"/residency laws based on personal views; machine gun nests & mine fields in I25, no Starbucks, ability...

    Where on Earth...

    Sweet mother of mercy. This last series of storm fronts has seriously kicked my ass with the wide and fast swings in the barometer. I have an eye on the Phoenix weather page and am noticing the range of pressure changes is about a third of what we are here in VA and not as rapid. Thinking...

    Kestrel question

    Whatever model you get, plan on spending time with it to learn the screen nav and app interface. I agree with ST Powah, get LINK: more stable. If it doesn't come with one, get a Kestrel-specific case that will protect the unit while it's on your belt or pack and has openings for the...
