Thanks everyone for your suggestions and time, I got it fixed! The solution was incredibly simple once I got the owner's manual sent to me from a fellow on the brewtroller FB page. I had no idea what a PID loop was, but that was the setting that had to be changed on the brewtroller itself in the...

Thanks again, I'll see what I can do with it.

You're dead on there. I know nothing about the coding aspect of how this thing works, just how to navigate the menus. I'll give that a shot.

When you say open the file, I'm not sure how to do that. On the brewtroller itself? If so, where is that located? I haven't seen it in the menus. Thanks man!

Thanks Doug, I have seen that page, but can't find anything that addresses my issue. My "programming" experience started and ended with doing a Raspberry Pi computer taplist, which took me a long time. That was frustrating enough, I can't imagine what coding the brewtroller is like!

That's what I was thinking, on a system as complex as this, there would have to be, right? I can't find it if it exists. Thanks for the suggestion!

No, it's not new, I bought it from a guy who was getting out of brewing. He has helped me as much as he can but he was at lower elevation where the auto boil feature worked because of the wort boiled at a higher temp, over 205. I'm relatively sure the I/O are correctly wired. I can't really...

I just bought a complete system that is using brewtroller and have ran into a few problems that I can't seem to figure out, and was hoping you may share your experience with me. I would really appreciate it! I've got two issues; 1. The "boil power" setting seems to have no effect. I've changed...

Thanks for all the advice everyone. I am very excited for his return in a few weeks, hopefully bags bulging with hard-to-find beers. Gonna be hard not to drink all of them in a week, going to have to force myself to lay a few down in the cellar. There's a good chance his company is sending him...

So, my brother is in Germany and I want to have him bring me back some Belgian beers since it's right next door. I brew Belgian beers a lot, but don't drink many commercial examples. I'm hoping to get suggestions on some of the best beers that perhaps aren't exported here or just some of your...

After all that tinkering, I came up on a 23 inch monitor last night on CL for $20 so now I can run my taplist vertically. Got it mostly dialed in, thanks for the assists JonW and bwarbiany. Now a few tweaks with font color and size and I'll be done! Also, had my new perlicks and shanks waiting...

This is a screen shot, zoomed to 75% so it all fits on the screen. So close!!!! Wondering what column is the wide empty boxes in the middle. Just need to figure out how to get rid of them so everything stretches out horizontally. Also, this is off JonW's code, so tap # image files aren't...

Bwarbiany and JonW, Thaks a lot for the code, using JonW's it split my screen like I want, but it's only displaying six out of my 8 beers. The last two are off the screen. I looked at the files to edit the text but don't know how to make it so the entire screen size is smaller so it will fit...

Thanks a lot guys, I'll start digging through this tomorrow afternoon.

Hey everyone, I have my pi set up so its displaying my taps, but I want it split screen like John W so all of them are visable. He listed his edits on this site http://www.surfcitybrewing.com/download/index_php.txt, but I'm not sure what to do with all that code. I suppose its to edit the .PHP...
