I’ve been using 65% efficiency in Beersmith lately and I’ve been just about right on every time for medium gravity beers. Last lower gravity beer was over so I probably need to adjust for that.

Are there any tutorials on the recipe crafter and advanced editor? Mine is coming soon hopefully and I’ve no idea how to use any of that....

Man that sucks. Sorry to hear that. Mine is supposed to ship next week but bet that won’t happen now. Sounds like they have a QC issue to resolve. Worse that you got all excited though and it wasn’t usable. Hope they compensate you in some way.

Sure. Thread. My mistake.

My point was this is a Z forum. Sure talk about Z issues. That’s useful.

I’d be interested to hear how those distilled hops were in the beer after you’ve used them.

These would be great posts for the Brewie forum. Right after all the ones about software updates and wiring failures.

Thanks for the info and pics. Curious if you got any of the free goodies delivered?

As a follow up - I did a lot of testing with a keg filled with water over the weekend. All the meters work great with that. The higher viscosity or something with the beer causes issues. I did get my stout to work by upping the psi to 14. Higher than I’d like, but it does register. The IPA...

I am an engineer, but I haven't puzzled this all out yet and I was never good at Fluids anyway ;) I appreciate the dialog, though, since it keeps me thinking about other possibilities. I did also take apart one of the meters and it looked pretty clean inside, so it wasn't getting gunked up...

Sadly, they aren't frozen... well not in the ice way. I think it's that the wheel isn't spinning during flow. There must be something in my lines that is causing this. I unhooked and took off the fitting on inlet side. I could even blow into the meter and get the wheel to spin. Once I...

Oh wow dude great thought - that never occurred to me! Easy enough to test out tonight. Thanks!

Yes, agreed. It's just that all 3 meters were new so it seems crazy that 2 would go (I checked both meter connections with the 3rd meter) after a couple days in the kegerator. Sounds like it's the only thing it could be though. Might have to wait and save up for Swissflows :(

Hi - yeah I soldered in female connectors so I could unplug a meter from the cables if I wanted to. So I unplugged one of the meters inside the kegerator and plugged an extra third meter into the cable. Blowing through that third meter did register on 'Pints which showed that the flow monitor...

Has anyone had problems with the Adafruit flow meters stopping registering pours when hooked up in-line? With all the fantastic info on this site, I was able to hook up a RPi3 and Uno and get everything running with an Adafruit meter. I was able to blow in it and register pours. Then I...
