    iSpindle - DIY Electronic Hydrometer

    Well, I had another Wemos D1 mini and decided to try it without soldering anything to it, or removing diodes. Plugged it to USB and ran the NodeMCU-PyFlash I mentioned before. It worked exactly as it should. Firmware is loaded and I've gotten into config menu. Maybe I damaged the first one...

    iSpindle - DIY Electronic Hydrometer

    Thanks for the info. I've tried using the NodeMCU-PyFlash but it doesn't appear to be working. It looks like it starts; light on the spindel flashes and dots go across the screen of the app and then both stop. No response after that. I'm new to the Arduino and Raspberry Pi stuff, so I guess...

    iSpindle - DIY Electronic Hydrometer

    I found an app called NodeMCU-PyFlash that is supposed to do the same thing, except self contained. Do I need to be connected to the spindel via USB to use one of these? I found instructions on the Brewer's Friend website https://docs.brewersfriend.com/devices/ispindel#configuration that says...

    I'm in the same situation as you. Did you ever get any help or figure out how to flash your spindel? I would appreciate any help. Thanks

    Georgia Catalyst conical fermenter for sale $150

    I’m selling my Catalyst fermenter. It’s in perfect condition. Never fermented any sours in it. I’ve probably used it 10-12 times. I got a stainless steel fermenter for Christmas and trying to minimize the amount of gear I have. This design is great for harvesting yeast as you may have read. It...

    New Anvil Bucket Fermentors

    How easy is the cleaning process? Looking for something with fewer parts clean and deal with. I have the Catalyst and overall I like it except the many parts to take apart and clean.

    Grainfather!!

    When and how does anyone take gravity readings? Is using the recirculation arm after mash and again after sparge the best way to get a sample? I’ve gotten through my first brew with the Grainfather and that’s my main confusion. Thanks

    new Grainfather control box on other keetle

    I was curious about the same thing. I’m interested in building an electric system with a kettle I already have and wondered if I could use the Grainfather Connect box as a controller. I like the idea of having the automation/app features that it provides without buying the whole Grainfather system.
