Beer hops
Because we brew our own beer, it was a no-brainer to grow our own hops.
Well … it sure grows .. and fast!
On several occations we made beer with it, but not knowing which type of Hops they were .. it was hard to do the calculations!
Beer brewing foam blow out!
Sometime the yeast fermentation is TO active.
Resulting in a blowout. Blowing air into to brew is automated by my brew computer. So i didn’t check myself meanwhile .. Maybe somekind of overspilling sensor can be made??
Beer in this yeast container was a Rauchbeer / smoke beer

Some websites use ajax and dynamic viewing of larger images.
For a colleage i grabbed a screenshot using below to get him a full sized campsite map.
Firefox example: Open the page, google maps for example.
Press CTRL+SHIFT+M or Responsive Design View from the Developers Tools.
Change the size you want your virtual browser ( and doing so, your screenshot size here 2800 ) And click on the ‘take screenshot from viewport’ icon on the right.
HS 500 APC Ups to domoticz
A friend of mine wanted to monitor his UPS using domoticz.
This UPS only had a simple web interface with information.
So we needed to scrape this information and push this into domoticz.
First create a dummy device in domoticz and note its IDX.
Then we can scrape needed information using below script.
#!/bin/bash
#set -x
# Domoticz server
SERVER="127.0.0.1:8080"
# APC Back-UPS HS 500 status URL
UPS="http://IP-OF-UPS/status.cgi"
# The number of the IDX in the list of peripherals
IDX="362"
# Path for temporary file (RAM drive)
TMPFILE="/tmp/apc-hs500-status.txt"
# Get APC Back-UPS HS 500 status and write to temporary file
wget $UPS -O $TMPFILE 2>/dev/null
if [ $? = 0 ]
then
PWR=$(cat $TMPFILE| tr -dc '[[:print:]]' |awk -F"Watts" '{print $1}' |rev |cut -f1 -d\> |rev |cut -f1 -d\&)
fi
if [ $PWR ]
then
echo "Load on Battery in Watts: $PWR"
# Send data to Domoticz
curl -s -i -H "Accept: application/json" "http://$SERVER/json.htm?type=command¶m=udevice&idx=$IDX&nvalue=0&svalue=$PWR"
PWR=""
fi
rm $TMPFILE
8mm digitize test – Cars in and around Holten
I’ve used a setup where i recorded the projector screen with a nikon, but i wasn’t happy with the result.
Above example is made with a Reflecta 8mm digitiser
Converting a large old table into a meat carving station.
At a second hand store we bought a old 60-70 style livingroom table, because it was made from heavy large wooden table top. ( 22 euro’s )
Removing the legs, and cutting the tabletop with a pluge saw.
The saw didnt cut deep enough, but using a guide rail and cutting from the other side, i managed to cut it with ease.
Assembling time!
The girls sanded the top and put some protective layer on top.
Above the finished product in our kitch made of scaffolding material.
Own made clock
We made our own nerdy clock.
We took a big clock and covered the backplane with modeling grass.
It took about 5 containers to fill the backplane enough to get it nicely filled.
The lettering near the pictures are the RGB representation of the color used in our office.
Lets see if you can decode them all. (use password clock to view solutions!)
Beer glasses
I’ve collected some beer glasses in the past, but i didn’t have many.
I hated the fact that your are not using them OR (even worse).
Put a different brand of beer in the branded glass!
So i bought a set of these:
I like the no-brand no-logo … just-a-glass look.
So why different types of glasses. Some say “nonsence!”
Welllll .. maybe for a part.
Click on the images for more information about the glass.
Below i will use the names of the glasses, these are NOT generally accepted names.
- Some types of glasses like the “Breughel” concentrate the aroma.
- A heavy stout mostly has less volume, it looks weird in a pint glass.
- Besides the volume, a lighter beer looks better in a “Prague” glass
- Some glasses are better suited for keeping the beer cold, other you can warm a little in your hand.
( Beer is NOT always best cold! When you drink it too cold, you will numb your taste buds. Most beerbottles have a temperature suggestion) - Bulb glasses like “Grand Cru” will keep your foam longer.
There is no need for a foam head on your stout, so use a “Gusto” for example.
Temperatures (a little example) Do your research on the internet!
- 4 degrees celsius : Light lagers, Pilsners
- 7 degrees celsius : Blondes, Wheat and Hefeweizen
- 10 degrees celsius : Red, Amber, IPA, Tripple
- 12 degrees celsius : Bitters, Scotch Ale, Stouts and Porters
- 14 degrees celsius :Imperial Stouts, Double bock, Barley Wines, Milk stouts
