    DIY Quick Carb

    If you look at the motor on the pump it states 12VDC at 3.5Amps, found this on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009ZZPOCK/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20

    Jamil's Scottish Ale 80/-

    I brewed a smaller ABV version of it, liked the flavor; cherry sweetness and chocolate flavor. I found that it grows on you as you progress though the bottle, sessionable.

    NEW StrangeBrew Elsinore Thread

    Pumps must have a SSR wired to the outlet they will be plugged into, I built my panel with a HAND/OFF/AUTO switch for each as well. Hand position applies 5VDC to the SSR (need a regulated 5VDC power supply). Off - self explanatory Auto position - I have this tied to GPIO on the Pi. In Elsinore...

    NEW StrangeBrew Elsinore Thread

    I have recently been using the mash tun temp sensor to drive a pump to circulate through my HERMS coil, holds the temperature nicely. Also, the manual setting for the rolling boil is dialed in pretty good. Are there similar options with CBPi? I will probably give CBPi a try once I have a...

    StrangeBrew Elsinore for Fermentation Control ONLY

    I use SB Elsinore for brewing control, two 240V elements, four probes on HLT, MT, BK, and chiller discharge. Based on what I see, you need to enter the setpoint desired, then enter values for the cycle time, P, I and D terms. Depending on the equipment that you are using, you may have to start...

    Cam F Will Not Screw Into Ball Valve - Need Help

    ^What Bobby said. Could be a burr on the threads. Check the pitch: Try taking the cam F and overlapping the threads (place the threads of each male fitting into the other fittings threads: peak to valley) with another male fitting if you can, this will show if the peak to peak is out of...

    Thanks Doug, no worries. The base of the SBE process/system works, and it is just aesthetics.

    I ended up doing just that, brewed a batch with no issues on SBE.

    NEW StrangeBrew Elsinore Thread

    What is up with the "WARNING: Failed to find URI: /reorder probes" when I try to move the temp sensors and their controls for the web layout? I move them around to match my physical layout and on a refresh it puts them back in the original messed up order. Also get a "Cannot run program...
