Homebrew Time Lapse, Hoptastic IPA

Just over a year went by since my last entry, crazy!  The kid has grown and another is on the way.  Life moves fast now.  With limited time, I found that Twitter was the best medium to share my latest brewing adventures.  Posting the below time lapse video of my last brew day really brought me back here.  This brew was the 16th batch on the new system which has now yielded 195 gallons.  On my old 5 gallon system, the same volume would have taken 39 batches.  Since I started brewing with the B3 2050, I have been really enjoying splitting a batch in increments of 5 gallons to test out different yeast strains.  In the future, I want to also experiment with varying fermentation temperature schedules.
The video below was taken using a time lapse camera over the course of a casual homebrew day.  The camera took one shot every 2 seconds and compiled the images at a rate of 30 frames per second.  I edited out some of the longer waits (all grain, all day) to show more of the busy-body action of the day.  For a better resolution video, you can go here Chillindamos Homebrew Time Lapse.
