What Changed? |
| 11/28/2002 |
After a house move and lots of experience with my system, it
was time to set the brewery up slightly differently and get around to
updating this website!! Sorry to those of you that do check this
website because nothing had changed since I implemented it!
Regardless, I have updated the email address at the bottom of this page to
reflect my correct contact point! I have added:
- Added several new recipes that I have brewed, including the .REC
file for Pro-Mash users and one of them I included the Excel
statistics sheet I produce for some.

Added schematic diagram in Electrics
section to show how I have wired the 240V side of the RIMS system.
Someone had emailed me a long time ago about this, but I just hadn't got
around to it!

Added two new recipes
(Bass, Fullers).
Changed the ad format in Tripod to get rid of those pop up ads that
REALLY PISS ME OFF! Thats the problem with free hosting, I suppose
someone has to pay for those servers!
Added the Beer! Brew it, drink it, live it! image to the ad space
that Tripod.com forces me to use, lets see if someone complains about that
one! I am sure it does not comply to their "usage
agreement", d'oh, guess I never read it!

Argh. After so much frustration with V1 of the
software, I can now release V2.0 of
McKenzie Brewing RIMS software! Like anyone cars/knows/worries
about it :)
But, this version is so much nicer. I took out a lot of issues,
including removing buttons/presets on the mash that I never used. I
made all the data entry fields dynamic, 100%! Now I can change the
temp or time a step in the mash. As each step is completed it now
correctly determines how many hours/minutes/seconds are left in that
step. When the step is completed, it greys out and can no longer
have data input.
I also changed it to be a single temperature point for the mash, this
means I had to convert one of my stainless racking canes into a temp probe
in the mash, but that's no issue, especially seeming as it now results in
100% accuracy of mash temperature!
