Hello, I’m from Spain. I have patented a new cap that is the end of classic crown cap (it is more than 100 years old). My new cap is very simple, segure, reciclable, etc. I’m producing a prototype and if you want, you can use it for your free beer, only for not commercial use. You can see more ingo in www.andalux.com/patente Free Software and Free Beer, why not?

[…] Summer’s here (sorta) and it occured to me yesterday that I didn’t have any beer brewing! Horrors! How will we celebrate a good day of concrete pouring and nail banging without beer? A summer construction project without beer is … a union job! AUGH! Off to Homecraft I went tonight and picked up a Brew House premium Red Ale kit. $28 and in three weeks, I’ll have about 60 bottles carbonating in my cellar. It’s the first time I’ve made the jump to a premium kit, so it will be interesting to see how much a difference it makes. Right away, you notice one difference whem making it: no sticky malt syrup concentrate, no boiling water, no adding dextrose. It’s 15 litres of pre-mixed wort in one of those bag-in-box deals. Just one packet into the primary, add 8 litres of water, add the wort, stir, sprinkle the yeast, cover and come back in 3-5 days and rack it. I’ve been making wine from various levels of kits (and some from grapes grown in my backyard for five years) and the process is very similar: liquid in the bucket, pitch the yeast, watch the bubbles, rack it, bottle it, drink it. Later on I’m toying with the idea of making a batch of Free Beer 3.0 We’ll see. I’m not sure about beer with guarana. […]

You should make a system to scale the recipes, so it could be used both for homebrewing and in breweries. I guess it’s not always right to half all ingrediences to make half the amount.
