Research it. Try it. Fail sometimes. Learn from it. Try again.
Homebrewing / Pool / Lawn & Garden / DIY / Shisha / Cooking & Life
Real projects and experiments from everyday life in Houston β researched, tested, measured, and organized by topic.
Water chemistry, pool volume, cooling experiments, circulation and test-strip analysis.
BeerDroid batches, fermentation, kegging, temperature changes and recipe experiments.
Mowing, irrigation measurements, fertilizer, weeds, potted plants and garden observations.
Temperature tests, flavor mixes and setup experiments.
Home systems, attic ventilation, HVAC, repairs and even website building.
Cooking, fermentation, everyday experiments and life in the U.S.
The kind of projects I like most: real measurements, comparisons, calculations and lessons from trying things myself.
I combined ingredient costs, measured electricity use, and 1-, 3-, and 5-year depreciation to compare BrewArt and MoreBeer batches with Blue Moon, Coors, growlers, and bars.

Cony DIY Houston is my record of DIY life in Houston: homebrewing, pool care, lawn care, house projects, shisha, plants, cooking and whatever else I end up trying.
I try not to stop at βit workedβ or βit didn't.β When possible, I keep the measurements, comparisons, calculations, mistakes and what I would change next time.
X is where I post the experiments as they happen. The website is where I come back later and organize the photos, videos, numbers and what I learned.
