    Default Project Medalla

    So, Mr. came by my house, and gave me this cool present:::

    A pretty nifty temperature gun measurement thingy!

    Here's another shot


    So, we're testing it out with a Medalla. This is, an excellent beer brewed here in Puerto Rico. Here's their official site. (( I, personally, find the site somewhat annoying. ))
    Here's the wikiPedia entry for Medalla Light beer.
    And, last, here's another interesting experiment regarding Medalla Beer.
    Very cool people, and super interesting things they're doing over there.
    Be sure to say hi!

    We start out our experiment evaluating the temperature of a "room temperature" Medalla beer over here in Puerto Rico.
    This comes out at 84.1 degrees Farenheit (28.9 Celsius).


    So, we start the countdown, and burry the Medalla into a pile of ice and more Medallas.


    Here are some initial readings...
    First, registering around 31.3 degrees (Farenheit) (-0.4 Celsius).


    And, here's another one registering 28.8 degrees Farenheit (-1.78 Celsius).


    We'll check the temperatures in a little while... and post back results.
    I'm thinking of adding some LEDs to the temperature gun.
    It does have a nifty red laser pointer that's really usefull... hmmm....

    Over and out, Merry xMas to everybody!!!!

    Haha. I can think of so many geeky/lazy uses for that.

    lol, I was watching Dirty Jobs, and they were using one of those to find a bees nest in a wall. The un-inhabited wall's temp was about 64 degrees, and the bees nest was about 72-74 degrees. Pretty nifty really.

    Out of pure curiousity, what are you going to do with this except finding the temperature of beer? ^^
