In the wake of "Celebgate," the Sony Pictures hack, and nearly daily data breaches targeting massive corporations to individuals, law firms are finally recognizing the importance of bringing their cybersecurity policies up to speed.

The Enemy of God
Wheeler Pub., Feb 1, 2006 - Fiction - 592 pages
Gabe Driscoll, chief of Internal Affairs for the New York City police department, stands in the city morgue, watching an autopsy. His interest is more than professional. The body is that of activist priest Frank Redmond, who along with Driscoll belonged to a championship swim relay team at a Jesuit high school in the 1950s.
More than three decades later, Redmond has gone off a Harlem rooftop a few blocks from his church, and the surviving members of the team--Driscoll and Pulitzer Prize--winning journalist Andrew Troy-find themselves reunited in a bizarre new race to figure out how and why Redmond died. Was it suicide, as police and diocesan investigations have summarily concluded? Or was he pushed-murdered-and if so, by whom? The search for answers takes them to Vietnam and Africa and back to Harlem, and inside their own ambitions, passions, and secrets, both past and present.
ROBERT DALEY is the author of sixteen novels, including Year of the Dragon, and eleven nonfiction books, including Prince of the City. Born and educated in New York City, he served one year as an NYPD deputy commissioner. Daley lives in Connecticut and Nice, France."

Unmanned 'Terminator' Robots Kill Jellyfish 149
from the it-can't-be-reasoned-with dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
What needs to be done is to destroy the fishing fleets.
While the nerd im me can't help to appreciate the tech in those things that make them auto-detect and kill stuff, I'm not convinced this is a good idea at all.
Wouldn't it make more sense to fix the root cause of this problem, that is, overfishing?
Did they even consider the consequences of generating 400 kilos of dead stuff an hour? Something will probably find this a nice food source. Are we going to kill that too, and where does this end?
Are we sure it only kill jellyfish?
There are supposed to be predators keeping these creatures in check. Unfortunately, we've overfished the oceans and polluted them so heavily that this problem is only set to grow.
Wouldn't it make more sense to fix the root cause of this problem, that is, overfishing?
Heh heh heh. Overfishing. I mean, that's part of the problem, but did you forget about acidification? (Let's just gloss over nuclear currents for a moment.) The significant sea creatures that can tolerate it gracefully are brittle stars [nature.com] and jellyfish [msn.com]. Algae will do okay as well, but kelp won't -- the increased acidification promotes algae that competes with it. So you get a big soup of stars, jellies, and algae. Mmmmmmmm good.
As for what the jellyfish become food for, it's everything below it, like always. Unless you have a problem with bottom-dwellers there's no reason to complain about that. The real issue is what we're doing to our biosphere that's causing these problems.
By all means, stop overfishing, HAHAHAHA. But that won't stop this.
The perversity of nature is nowhere better demonstrated by the fact that, when exposed to the same atmosphere, bread becomes hard while crackers become soft.

Back Alley Bypass (Mouse Tales' David Koenig) by David Koenig
from David Koenig- "Desperate to avoid another Christmas season packed with unmanageable guest congestion, Team Disney Anaheim managers are anxious to start construction on a backstage escape route that on busy days would funnel crowds off Main Street and out of the park. Management would like to start construction in April, so the path can be open to guests before the end of November. The new route, first reported by Al Lutz 16 months ago, will start just past the Baby Care Center off the Central Plaza hub, travel behind the buildings on the east side of Main Street, and let out at the old coffee shop patio in Town Square.The path would be themed like a turn-of-the-century alleyway and feature a solid roof over it, both to protect guests from inclement weather and to prevent them from stopping to watch the fireworks. "One of the biggest headaches is when the fireworks go off," shared one cast member. "People don't move. A lot of pathways in the park, especially Main Street, get clogged when guests stop to watch. That goes for Candlelight [Procession], too."
The alley will not significantly disrupt the current stores on Main Street (several of the shops would lose storage space, but gain back entrances, and the Cone Shop at the back of Center Street will need to be relocated).
The pathway would, however, butt right up against the Inn Between cast member cafeteria. Consequently, when construction begins on the alley, the Inn Between will shut down for a major remodel. Two old trees that grow through the eatery's upper outdoor patio will be cut down, and the patio will be enclosed. The reconfiguration will increase indoor space for eating and free up space to add couches and plushy chairs."
According to the DisneyandMore blog,Hong Kong Disneyland "Paint the Night Parade" could be coming to Disneyland for the 60th anniversary.
Does anyone have an estimate on when the construction walls and scrims around New Orleans Square for the Club 33 remodel will be taken down?
My wife and I are deciding if we will make a trip to Disneyland this year, but have no desire to go if NOS is still constructionland.
I'm not sure if it's still a planned to open for the summer. I haven't seen a lot of work going on the exterior, but it could get done quickly if they get going on it. However the scrims may be there more for keeping secret what is happening inside. I think the walls at the bases could come down first.
Be Cool Stay in School!
Next year I'm trying for a summer internship at Stark Industries.

Got all the basics - clean and in a good location where you can walk to anything you may need. Only problem I found is that U turns are needed to enter and exit. I think this is a two star, reliable hotel.
One night was only 45.00, and our room was in the back away from traffic on bottom floor. Was quiet and had older model tv, fridge, mini microwave and coffee maker. Bed was comfortable but sheet had a stain on it, and there was no blanket on the bed or on the rack. Would stay there again, but would bring...
Very clean, service is very good, I would stay here again, good price, location good, lots of nearby restaurants to choose from, only drawback is the heavy traffic.
Based on the reviews, I was a little wary after my boyfriend booked this hotel. However, I was pleasantly surprised with the quality.

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
Rebecca Rattner, Adrienne Lemon | 13 Aug 2013 12:08 GMT | Politics, Burundi
After three years in hiding, Agathon Rwasa - the infamous leader of the Burundian rebel group National Liberation Front (FNL) - emerged on August 6 to give his first public speech since 2010.
The police, though not aggressive, were prepared. Armed with AK-47s and tear gas, they blocked Rwasa from getting out of his car, claiming that he had not obtained the requisite permission for the gathering.
More than 1,000 people arrived to see Rwasa in the country's capital, Bujumbura, and the figure likely would have been higher had the government not stopped buses, searched individuals, and recorded the names of people going to the rally.
"It was a proof that we have to struggle hard for the freedom of Burundians," Rwasa said later in a one-on-one interview. "Why should we always be suppressed by the police when we have not infringed the law? Why should the police play the role of militias when it is a national institution?"
More than a decade of civil war in Burundi ended only in 2006, which means the country is still transitioning from political violence to a democratic system. Conflict in the landlocked state erupted in 1993 after Burundi's first democratically elected president, a member of the ethnic Hutu majority, was assassinated after only three months in office by ethnic Tutsi members of the military.
Knowing how the government oppresses the opposition, it does not surprise me that the government did not let [Rwasa] hold his press conference.
- "Claude", FNL supporter
The assassination sparked the formation of several Hutu groups that targeted Tutsi civilians. Though they shared a common goal - the alleged liberation of the Hutu population - the rebel groups adopted very different philosophies and strategies.
Today, tensions between Burundi's ruling party, the CNDD-FDD, and its largest opposition group, the FNL, are rooted in a precarious relationship former during their days as rebel groups fighting against a common enemy.
The CNDD-FDD was the largest rebel group during the war, and made significant compromises in exchange for representation in the military and government. The more radical FNL refused to drop arms until all its demands were met.
In 2005, while CNDD-FDD leader Pierre Nkurunziza was sworn in as president, the FNL kept fighting under the leadership of Agathon Rwasa. A controversial figure, Rwasa has been accused of some of the worst atrocities during the war and continues to be blamed for ongoing violence. However, he retains a strong base of support in Bujumbura and the surrounding province, which the FNL controlled during the last years of the war.
In 2008, the FNL finalised a peace agreement with the CNDD-FDD government and agreed to participate in the 2010 elections, though Rwasa never made it onto the ballot. Ultimately, Rwasa and other leading opposition figures united to withdraw their candidacies in protest of reports of alleged election fraud and intimidation. Rwasa then accused the government of threatening him and disappeared.
Crackdown on freedoms
Since then, critics say Burundi's government has clamped down on freedom of speech and press. One FNL supporter, Claude - whose name has been changed to protect his identity - said he has been jailed 11 times since 2010 for his open support of Rwasa. "Knowing how the government oppresses the opposition," he said, "it does not surprise me that the government did not let [Rwasa] hold his press conference".
In the absence of major political opposition, the government passed a law in April requiring journalists to reveal all their sources relating to national security and public order, or face a fine of 3000 euros ($3985) - an impossible expense for a profession that earns an average of 100 euros ($133) per month.
This follows the prosecution of Hassan Ruvakuki, a journalist who covered the recent emergence of a rebel group and was charged with treason in 2012. Police responded to protests against Ruvakuki's imprisonment with tear gas, claiming the gathering was illegal. These and other high-profile events have raised concerns about increased repression ahead of elections in 2015.
Burundi has long lagged behind in most development metrics, but the freedom of its press had been a source of pride. In an interview, Rwasa accused the international community of complicity in the destruction of these freedoms, by remaining silent on the Burundian government's activities while continuing to support development programmes in the country.
The Ministry of Information did not respond to requests for comment.
An uncertain future
It is unclear what will happen now that Rwasa has returned. He is no longer the head of his political party, and a government ally, Emmanuel Miburo, is now the official leader of the FNL.
Yet for many FNL supporters, this is a triumphant moment. "His return is a revival of our vision," said Claude. "After the elections in 2010, some of our members were persecuted and fled the country; others were killed. This means there is still a chance for us to be part of change in this country. Our only fear is that he might be jailed or killed."
Thus far, Rwasa has striven to portray himself as a politician rather than a militia leader, saying "fighting cannot build" and "I do not wish this for my country". However, Rwasa did not rule out the possibility of a return to violence. "Unfortunately, it is one of the scenarios which can be predicted."
Rwasa had a strong message for President Nkurunziza: "Who does he think would bear the responsibility of an escalation in this country? Does he hope that it will be upon my shoulders?" Rwasa laughed. "I think not. He would better give up his ambitions. He has served two terms. It's enough. We are fed up with his doings. He would be better going without tarnishing his image … Otherwise his future will be dark."

ducks mating with chickens???
I went to our local co-op today to gather some supplies for my new chickens that are due to arrive in the first week in March. I entered into a conversation about my ducks that I have now and she told me to be careful about the male fornicating with the chickensÂ.well this is news to me. The ducks were given to me last year by a friend when I had a flock of chickens and she said it would be no problem to have them together. I didnÂt see any such problems mixing them. Now I am starting over with a new flock of chickens. Would a male duck go after a chicken to breed with it?? Was she pulling my leg?? She had only a male duck with no female. He killed lots of her hens (according to her) by trying to mate with them. What should I do now if this is true
If the ducks are trying to do some interspecies rumba, I doubt that the ducks would 'kill' the chickens, ha ha! I have guineas and chickens, occasionally the birds try to do it with the chickens, and vice versa. I have seen my HUGE turken rooster treading 1) my small pearl leghorns as well as the male and female guineas, who are all smaller than him. If a big 13 or 15 lb turken can do it with a small chicken and not smoosh her, then I'm sure your ducks and chickens are okay. Just make sure to use a prophylactic! :D
PS: What would a duck/chicken cross be called... a duckin? Or a Chuck? :P
Don't worry 'bout it...seriously!
Not sure about the duck/chicken thing but I've seen my rouen drakes trying to get it on with my call drakes.I also found a broad breasted tom dead in the pond five years ago.He was out about two feet in the water but his head had been forced under.I just assumed he waded out to drink and the drake(s)jumped him.For the mating to occur though the hens would have to be standing in water.People make the joke about the rooster going after anything;ducks can be just as active.During the breeding season nothing seems to slow a determined drake down.Sherry
You should see my banty silkie rooster trying to chase the guinea hens, it's hilarious! He's got his wings back like a guinea, running as fast as his little legs will carry him. Of course the guineas get sick of it and fly up into the trees. He's so frustrated sometimes, poor guy!
Back when I did have a couple of ducks here I had a rooster that went thru the motions of breeding them. I suppose it could go the other way too? They won't reproduce, but can go thru the motions. A good rooster should be able to keep the ducks off of the chickens if a problem did occur. That's probably why people don't see it happening to often?
Awww that poor silkie! Sounds like he needs a girlfriend...or a new hobby? lol
I do have a picture around here somewhere of a pig breeding my husbands kayak. Hubby wasn't too happy about it.
I have had overSexed Roosters breed my ducks before, seen it with my own eyes. They just get a little species confused. Some times if you raise ducks and chicken together this can happen. Usually no harm is done, it just when people come over and they see this I just tell them He's a Little confused.
I have Muscovy ducks and yes a drake will break the eggs in a hen.They also have a male sex organ that a rooster doesn't have and they sure can kill chickens.I had to put one outside my pen because he almost killed all my hens.They bit them on their backs till they were raw & bleeding.
My ducks are trying to mate my chickens. They especially like to pick on a little black hen that we have. She just avoids the flock now. I raised my ducks along side the chickens. Big mistake. From what I've read, the ducks think they are roosters, or that the hens are female ducks. Sue's post is interesting, that's the first I've read of chickens eggs being broken by the ducks, but it makes sense. I doubt it's from penetration, but rather just the roughness, and sheer weight of the ducks. Duck and chicken physiology is different, and a the alignment of the organs is not such that it would be easy to actually copulate. However, if a drake figured it out, I can see how it would be deadly for the hen. What I have read, however is that since ducks usually mate on water, they can drag chickens to the water and drown them. My ducks are Roens, and could easily do this. But their water is a small elevated pool, so dragging them there would be almost impossible. All my birds are free-range, so I feel bad about sequestering them, but if that's what I have to do, so be it.
I'm going to have to take this one a step further. My male mallard has been mating all the girls(3 female ducks) like crazy. He's been attempting to mate my tiny(maybe 1-2 pound) bantam hen. Over the last few days I have noticed that she is brooding a protected nest. I am concerned that she will starve trying to hatch these eggs that may never hatch as maybe they're not fertile. If they are... how is this going to end up?? I just found where she's hiding, but don't know if I should disturb her nest. This is her second attempt at a nest, but this time she's staying there and only coming to eat and drink once a day. I want to support and help her, but I'm afraid there may be some tragedy here...
Please help,
A male duck can be very aggressive in their mating habits. I personally have seen them mating chickens, and in doing so torn the skin open on the head and neck of the hen. The size difference is problematic. This usually occurs mid March to June in our area (South West Michigan). Muscovy's have been known to kill chickens in their attempt to mate-but again their size difference had a lot to do with it. The skin of a chicken is quite thin where a duck it quite thick skinned so when the male grabs the hen that is where the injury may occur.
If there are plenty of hen ducks that may be enough to discourage it. If not and you don't feel comfortable with this behaviour just provide separate quarters during the more active mating season of the ducks in question.
If you have a cock the eggs might be fertile, otherwise they will not be. She will realized they wont hatch sooner or later and quit the nest. you could just destroy the eggs, she may still try to set for a while? Drakes can be randy devils at times, Muscovies are the worst. He may try to mate as she is setting if he can get to her, that could cause her harm.
Remove her eggs (first candle them for embryos at about 10-12 days into the incubation) if clear (no embryos). If you find embryos let her finish; if not; block her from being able to get to her nest. A broody hen can be very persistent.
If they are clear and you would like her to continue get some fertile eggs-duck-turkey-chicken-try switching them for hers.
I would protect her from the advances of Mr. Duck due to the size difference.
Here are my thoughts when reading this.
Warning my comments contribute no useless info to this thread.
what do you get when you cross a duck with a chicken? A Dicken?
second thought. Men close your ears.
okay here goes......
Males will do it with anything with a hole. LOL
I just had to say it.
My Harlequin duck just killed my poor Rhode Island Hen!!! He has three female ducks, but he seems to go after everyone. She was looking disheveled this a.m. with one eye closed. I thought there was a hen fight. 1 hour later we found her under the duck lifeless.
Not sure all ducks are this aggressive mating?!?!
The lady at the feed store told me that the male duck's penis is corkscrew shaped and could rip the insides of the hen out, and kill her. When a rooster and hen mate they just touch butts, no insertion. With this info I have moved the duck, I am taking no chances.
I have a question regarding Ducks/roosters breeding??? I stay in a campground sometimes and I saw a duck bred with a rooster. The body is that of a duck but the head was red like a rooster. Feet are like a duck other the. It has 4 long claws at the ends, I took a picture of it , the Canadian geese are not fond on him and neither are the mallards??? Any suggestions what I should do?? It does not belong to campground, someone dumped it off...
I was mortified today to find my Pekin Drake mating with a large sussex hen. The Drake definitely was stuck to the hen and took a few seconds to remove his appendage. I have caught him before sitting on the smaller hens and thought he was trying to kill them. I have one female Pekin, but she doesn't always put out for him and normally gets out of the pond when he is trying his manly stuff.
Does he need more ducks in with him? I have also caught her holding the hen down and the drake pulling the hens feathers out frantically.
DO NOT ALLOW A DUCK TO MATE A CHICKEN!!! eventually the chicken will get injured and die. It will either get a broken neck, a prolapse or internal bleeding. Ducks have a protruding penis roosters do not. One female duck to one male duck is not enough. You need several females because male ducks are quite horny. http://scienceblogs.com/notrocketscience/2009/12/22/ballistic-penises-and-corkscrew-vaginas-the-sexual-battles/

Film and TV Casting/Crew Jobs
While the Georgia Film, Music and Digital Entertainment Office does not hire crew members nor cast actors and extras for film and TV projects, there are a number of ways for Georgians to find work in the industry. Listed below are links and documents that provide information regarding casting/crew opportunities in Georgia.
- The Help Wanted Hotline (404-962-4055 or online) has information on crew and casting opportunities that the Georgia Department of Economic Development has been notified about.
- For crew and support services, add yourself or your company to our Reel-Crew online production guide. Crew registration requires Georgia residency and industry credits.
- The Georgia Film & Television Sourcebook contains information about companies shooting in Georgia and casting/crew opportunities. The Sourcebook also allows you to post your services for others to see.
- The Georgia Film, Music and Digital Entertainment Facebook and Twitter pages also have crew/casting opportunity announcements.
A number of vendors offer workshops and training classes for various film and TV jobs. While the training can be excellent, most of these courses have an associated fee to participate, and there is no guarantee employment will result.

Hey! Get another job!
If the following weren't able to continue in their normal positions onboard the Enterprise, which 3 jobs would they be suited best for, and which 3 jobs would they be worst at?
Ex: Deanna Troi can no longer counsel, so maybe her best three jobs would be Captain, XO, and CMO. Worst: Chief Engineer, Ops, Science Officer...
This is just an example, of course. That's not how I would answer for Troi. You also may answer with any job from the Enterprise, not just 'well-known' positions/jobs.
So, how would you respond for Data, Worf, Picard, Riker, and Troi?
Re: Hey! Get another job!
With the exception of maybe Troi, pretty much all of the bridge crew could be easily suited for any of the positions there. The general attitude on TNG was that the bridge crew could in many ways be interchangeable. Many of them in fact serve in the other positions or are referenced as having served in them during their career, except Troi & Dr. Crusher, who work in rather specialized skills
If Deanna couldn't be a counselor aboard ship, I could only maybe see her being the schoolroom teacher
Dr. Crusher seemed well suited to captain, or maybe head a science department
I always thought Geordi would make a good XO
Re: Hey! Get another job!
I think Data could probably act as CMO more efficiently than Dr. Crusher.
Re: Hey! Get another job!
Hmm. Interesting game.
I'm not sure I agree that the bridge crew is mostly interchangeable, even if that was supposed to be the idea. I'm trying to imagine Riker as counselor or CMO and it's not a pretty picture. He would make a great security chief, though.
Picard would've made a great science officer. In fact, when Q offers him an alternate future as opposed to death in Tapestry, that's what he's shown as becoming (though he's not happy about it).
Beverly would've been a great captain, and the few episodes where she ends up in command of the Enterprise or of a mission show this.
I struggle to see Geordi in anything other than an engineering or science position. Maybe CMO, if he had an interest in medicine instead of engines.
Troi was useless, so I can't see her as anything.
Data is maybe the only one who really could be excellent in any position. I even see him as being a great counselor (certainly better than Troi). His perspectives always shed more light on the behaviors of those around him than anyone else's. It's fairly obvious that he'd be great at everything else.
Re: Hey! Get another job!
Wesley wouldn't be good for captain, security or counsellor, but he'd be fine taking on Geordi's role.
Troi might take up Guinan's role serving drinks and listening, while Guinan might make a good counsellor. There, found a use for Troi.
Re: Hey! Get another job!
"Counsellor Worf" has an interesting ring.
Re: Hey! Get another job!
But let's play...
Picard could easily get promoted to Admiral, but a less ambitious Picard could easily become a science officer or operations officer.
Riker was supposed to be the captain in training, but was stated to be "the best pilot." I couldn't see him being an engineer or science officer though.
Data would be an awesome science officer or engineer. Really the only job I see him being unable to do is Ship's Counselor.
Worf could get by playing as XO or Operations. Obviously anything in blue just isn't going to work.
LaForge was already a decent enough pilot, but could do well at Ops too. We already know he's suited for command in the future. Only field I see him not taking well to is Counseling and Medical.
Troi... let's face it. I have no idea how she was a lieutenant commander to start with, nonetheless made commander. She wasn't even that good in her chosen field to be honest. Piloting... she crashed the Enterrpise... twice. Tactical... no... Operations and Engineering obviously confused her... Medical... assuming she studied a lot it's possible... command... anyone remember how ineffective she was in Disaster?
Crusher... she always struck me as the ship's science officer along with Data being there wasn't a full time one. She did alright the few times she was in the captain's chair.
Re: Hey! Get another job!
O'Brian would've been good at tactical or ops. And his wife is another who would've been good at counseling.
Re: Hey! Get another job!
To be fair, producers/writers rarely knew in advance when they would have Whoopi available for a particular episode. She was an A-lister back then.
Re: Hey! Get another job!
Still a shame, though. I never got a lot of my questions about her character answered.
Re: Hey! Get another job!
I have heard over the years that they reduced Troi's role to give Guinan more screen-time, and would quickly rewrite Troi's dialog to work in Ten-Forward whenever they knew Whoopi would be there. On those times when they had a real Guinan script, they booked her far ahead of time to make sure she was available.
Re: Hey! Get another job!
Re: Hey! Get another job!
Also, Data would be far easier to talk to than any human because you'd know nothing you said could possibly upset him. He's incapable of having his own feelings interfere with his judgement or of getting frustrated or shocked.
That's just my personal opinion, though. I have Bipolar II and I know I would find Data's calm rationality 1000x more helpful than Troi's empathy. I don't need someone to sense my feelings. I know how I feel. I need someone to tell me if the feelings have a basis in reality. Most of the others I know with mental disorders are the same. Sympathy or empathy may sound nice, but it's hard rationality which makes a difference in the end.

So there I was 2 years ago happily fly sparging with a 3-tier system, pre-HBT, and then I discovered HBT and my good buddy JKarp posted his CB20 system. I dove head-first into the deep end of electric brewing, very much with the kind help of JKarp. Many experiments later, I have finally integrated my original 3-tier system into a system that can be used as a CB20 system, with or without HERMS, small batch or big batch BIAB, traditional batch sparge, closed system wort cooling, has a pre-chiller option for the summer, and can do partigyle mashes on big beers. I'm certainly not covering any new ground, as I took every idea from another thread here on HBT, but I thought I would share my final electric system. After trying a Shirron, I have gone back to an immersion chiller with whirlpool and like it very much. Everything is 120v and I brew in my kitchen. I can brew 3 gallon BIAB batches after work in 3 hours, or full 5 gallon batches in 5 hours. Below are my old school drawings in paint. I will post some pics the next time I brew if anyone is interested.CB20-HERMS with Batch Sparge, Closed System Cooling, Pre-Chiller, or Partigyle Options
Notes: BK and MLT are 10 gallon SS Megapots insulated with reflectix. BK has two 1500w ULWD elements run on separate circuits. MLT has one 1500w HD element to heat strike water only and has a false bottom. HLT/HERMS is an 8 gallon SS Megapot with two 1500w ULWD elements (only one needed during HERMS). Pumps are built into a toolbox with switches. The AC-1 pump recirculates the HLT water during HERMS to prevent stratification and can then be used to move water to the MLT for a batch sparge or a partigyle mash. PID is in a project box copied from JKarp. BK and HERMS-out have thermocouples. HLT/HERMS vessel can be used for closed system cooling with ice or as a pre-chiller to my IC in the summer. All connections, except the AC-1 pump connections, are Mcmaster quick-connects.CB20-No HERMS
Notes: Run just like JKarp, but on one level. BK has a thermocouple connected to the PID.Big Batch BIAB
Notes: I recirculate during the mash with PID control to keep temps even. I protect the element from the bag with mesh or a strainer.Small Batch BIAB with chiller
Notes: I recirculate during the mash with PID control to keep temps even. I protect the element from the bag with mesh or a strainer. The HERMS coil is used as a chiller. This is my 3-gallon test batch system. It is great for quick brews after work.
Damn, that's a lot of brewing options there!
I'm probably going to upgrade my kettle this year - you happy with the megapot / reflectix?
I am happy with the megapots, they are well made and should last me a lifetime. I think they are one of the better bang for your buck options out there. FYI, on the 10 gallon one you need about 3000w to get a 1 gal per hour boil-off. On the 8 gallon one, you need about 2500w for a 1 gal per hour boil-off. They are much wider than the kettle you have I believe.
I went from setup 1 to setup 3 with my ekeggle and do not foresee returning to the 3 vessel method. I am VERY satisfied with PID and pump recirc to maintain mash temp in BIAB. You will be happy too. Nice drawings by the way!
Thanks. I have fully tested each of them and agree biab is super easy. I choose which setup to use based on the grain bill mainly, and how long I want the brewday to consume. If the grain bill is big, I don't like pulling a big bag in my kitchen and making a mess. For the smaller batches, it is the way to go for sure. Also with the bigger grain bills I like experimenting with a partigyle mash using system 1.
Awesome! This is actually super helpful. One question - how do you do a CB20 on one level with only one pump? I've been looking at your diagram trying to figure out how you cross-circulate, but I'm apparently too dense to figure it out...
Glad you like it. It is all done with ball valves on the output of my march pump. Each return has a ball valve (connected via a Tee) that I can regulate the cross circulation, mlt is wide open and bk return is about 1/2, all connections are 3/8. I merge the bk and mlt flow into a Tee connected to the input of the march pump (I add one more ball valve on the mlt-in so I can disconnect and clean the mlt during the boil and still be able to recirculate for whirlpool). In the cb20 configuration, I prefer to mash in for about 35-45 minutes, heat the bk to near boiling, then start recirculation for about 30 mins to get to 170. This gets me in the 70s for efficiency pretty consistently.
I'd love to see some real pics of your system. I also have been studying jkarps system as well as the "attobrew". I'm slowly converting a space in my basement into my brewery. This forum rocks! I'd be lost w/o it.
I'll certainly post some pics the next time I brew in a few weeks. This forum is the best. I copied so many different builds and would never have gone electric without Jkarp's help and this forum.
Here is a pic of the madness during my last session. I set up and break down everything on brewday. Next house I will build something vented in the basement, but for now I enjoy brewing in the kitchen. Also below is a pic of my "pumps in a toolbox".
