Sorry about that. It’s a: TTGO T-Display ESP32 WiFi and Bluetooth Module Development Board for Arduino 1.14 Inch LCD esp32 Control Board(16MB)

Hi there. I have this board and have the latest tiltbridge (as far as I know) installed on it. It’s taking readings and transmitting just fine. However, the screen has been black since I flashed it. How can I get the screen to display gravity, temp, etc?

I love the opportunity to learn new things when brewing up something. This was the first time that I've used ingredients this far outside of the Reinheitsgebot guidelines. Other than a little citrus rind here and there, I like sticking to the basics of what beer should be. So, to brew up...

The biggest pain was bottling. The grains kept stopping up my bottling tube. I've opened three bottles so far, and the coffee is mellowing slowly. I'm still not tasting as much chocolate as I would have hoped. I'll post pictures of a pour soon...

One thing I was discussing with my LHBS owner -- and with a couple of newbie customers who were there asking questions -- is that it's actually hard to really screw up a batch of beer. Other than getting an infection or burning down your house, mistakes almost always (in my experience) lead to...

Hello fellow home brewers! After last winter's disappointing autumn in my kitchen -- I was wanting a lot of malt, but for one reason or another kept falling short -- I dove into the deep end this year. I started out brewing a Scotch Ale in mid-September, and I opened the first bottle...

My latest batch is a "Founders Breakfast Stout" clone. So far, so good. Check my post in this section to see what all I did. I popped a top last night -- probably way too early, but I couldn't stop myself -- and while it needs to age a good bit more, there's some definitely good young beer in...

In north Asheville (Weaverville area), they got about 2". I live in west Asheville and we got nothing here. Close to the TN boarder, in the thick of the mountains, they got 2 feet. Supposed to be in the mid-60s this weekend.

Nothing organized yet... I'm just saying we should. Some Saturday or Sunday afternoon. When I lived in Mississippi, a big group of people would bring 3-4 bottles each of their homebrew (and/or regional beer we couldn't buy locally), and we'd all have small glasses and sample each others'...

We need to all meet up for a WNC homebrew meet-n-greet-n-drink.

Where in NC are you? I'm in Asheville and am a very experienced homebrewer if you ever want to meet up and brew together.

I have a pretty big yard and a big porch in which to do some good sitting and sipping, if we ever wanted to meet up here. I currently have three beers ready for some sharing: A scotch ale, an IPA, and a mocha stout. My next batch, starting in the next week or two, will be a holiday ale that...

I started out with a (extremely cheaply made, yet expensive) starter-kit, which I quickly broke. After 18 or so years, this is my "kit": 1) Go to Wal-Mart and get their 5-gallon jug of water. The bottle has a deposit, which you'll get back when you return it. You don't even have to return it...

Hello fellow brewers! Long-time homebrewer, new to these boards. I actually started homebrewing when I was in my mid-late teens -- I'm 35 now. I've gone in cycles over the years, getting really into it, then tapering off. I admit I'm more of a pleasure brewer than a hard-core brewer. I...
