Hi! In case any one is following this, and lives in the Bay Area(SF Bay Area), I want to give this to someone. I have gotten out of the hobby(have a 5 year old now, busy with other projects, etc), and would like someone to get some good use out of it. Email me at [email protected] if interested.

Kegged it last night. Hit my FG of 1.012. Fermented at 54 for 10 days. Then set it to 58 for 7 days. Did a rest for 3 days at 65. Dropped it to 40 for two weeks before kegging. Took a taste pre CO2, tastes great. Will post a pic Monday night when I have the first glass!

I updated my brewPi with a new RaspberryPi, and used my plot.ly script again. Not sure if anyone has used it, but it had a typo if you try to cut and paste. I had to add a space on the line that has "beer_data = beer_string.split(';', 9)" before the 9. I fixed it. I also reduced the posting...

I brewed this again last night(hard to get time to brew with an 18 month old in the house). 10 lb 8 oz 2-Row 9.6 oz Cara Pils 9.6 oz Munich 2.4 oz Melanoiden 8.5 gallons water to start 154 degrees mash for 75 minutes 60 minute boil 1 tsp Gypsum and 1.25 oz Hallertauer Mittelfrueh Hit my OG of...

I have some crushed grain that is 6 months old. Each type(2 row, white wheat and munich) is in a plastic bag and all of them are stored together in a Vittles Vault (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0002DJOOI/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 ) I haven't done a taste test yet to see if I can tell its...

Thanks! I should have remembered that. I read through this thread start to finish over a year ago. Sounds like it's time for a refresher!

All done. Works great. I used @lbussy steps. Thanks! http://www.silverfoxcrafts.com/2016/10/brewpi-setting-up-raspberry-pi/ http://www.silverfoxcrafts.com/2016/10/brewpi-new-jessie-install/ Can someone give me a 'summary' of why I had to update to the 'legacy branch for the arduino?'. Do I...

Put in a new SD card. I somehow managed to lose my wifi keyboard and mouse USB adapter(new one on the way), so I am doing it all without('headless'). I had to put a file in the /boot image partition called 'ssh' so when it booted up ssh was enabled. The latest image disables ssh by default...

Thanks Thorrak and day_trippr! I figured the response would be quick, and I started reading as I waited. It sounds like I should try a new SD card anyhow first. There is a good chance that is the problem. I'll try all that before I buy a new RPi. I'll post my progress here!

I am having trouble with my Raspberry Pi 2 that my brewpi is running on. It's been running since October of 2015. This past weekend I brewed and when I finishing up, I noticed I couldn't reach my brewpi on my network. It worked after a few reboots. All this week, I have had trouble several...

Pic of the finished product. Turned out awesome. Thanks for the recipe!

Update: Been fermenting (brewPi, kept at 67 F) since Sept 17th(about 10 days). Took a gravity reading. Mine is at 1.012, buddy's at 1.010. The San Diego Super Yeast really took off and fermented like crazy for about 4 days. Added 2 oz of Citra for dry hop to each carboy today. Will start...

I brewed this over the weekend with my buddy. Two 5.5 gallon batches. I used my electric system, and my buddy did gas. Pretty close to the same recipes. I used a bit more 2-row as I typically have some efficiency issues. Of course, this time I didn't and I came in at 1.072. My buddy's came...

Could you post a picture of yours TexasWine? I have mine coming through the lid now, works ok. Can be annoying though.
