Well I finally did it and accidentally dry fired my element. Replaced it with one from Bobby at brewhardware and now my panel makes this humming noise anytime the new element is powered. The higher the power input, the louder it is. If I shut off the element, it stops. See the video. As I recall...

I recently did a fresh install of Debian 11 and Fermentrack and my Tilt connection is still unstable and intermittent. When I troubleshoot from Fermentrack, everything appears good except for the missing Python capability flags. I have updated all packages using apt-get update and apt-get...

To start off, I'm a total Linux idiot. Its amazing I have managed to keep my setup running as long as I have. That said, I have come across a new issue and have noticed that Fermentrack is missing Python capability flags. It gives me a terminal line to fix the issue, but as it turns out, I have...

Got a new SS Chronical and am trying to figure out what I’m doing wrong? The clear tube barely fills at all except near the bottom where it fills up. Lots of bubbles as I push the beer into the keg. I don’t think I’m getting air sucked in because the fitting between lines is very tight. If the...

I threw this out on a RPI forum but I thought I'd ask here as well. I'm trying to resolve an new connectivity issue with my RPI and Fermentrack. I ran apt-get update and then apt-get upgrade on Debian last night. All went normally with no apparent issues. However now I can't connect remotely or...

Looking to use an old e-brewing kettle for a boiler and I’m wondering if I start with 3 gal of wash, how much liquid is left behind after the alcohol is boiled off? I want to make sure I don’t dry fire the element boiling off to much volume.

Does anyone have this fermenter “The Sovereign” from Northern Brewer? https://www.northernbrewer.com/products/sovereign?variant=7661580353580&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIuvSv_uKY8wIVSGpvBB3FVwFzEAQYASABEgKxt_D_BwE I’m thinking of adding an electric element via a TC fitting to work with my existing setup...

I have been brewing all grain beer on an electric (not Grainfather, Robobrew etc.) setup for some time and am interested in distilling. I have a small space and am trying to keep equipment to a minimum. I currently have a 10 gal Brew Boss kettle and am looking to upgrade my fermenter to a Spike...

Okay so I haven’t brewed for about 6 months and had my Raspi powered down. Upon firing it up, and updating it as well as Fermentrack, I’m having multiple issues. First, I can’t remote in as always have been able to. Checked ifconfig for the correct IP address and port forwarding and so on. I...

Sorry if this has already been posted, I couldn’t find much but it was late last night. Last brew my Tilt was working normally with Fermentrack. Threw a beer in last night and nothing. The temp and gravity from the Tilt seemed stuck in the final readings from the last brew. So I: - Made sure I...

I’m working on a brown ale with a very specific flavor profile in mind. I’m looking to be quite malty, toasty, and sweet but not cloying. My current recipe has a lot of unfermentables. Also, trying to keep as much of the fruit out as possible and find good balance without the roasty element...

I have just finished my conversion to electric with an Ezboil 300. (I thought I ordered a 320 but I guess not). I currently have one set for my buzzer and the other not in use. So how do YOU use them?

I just finished a semi-custom control panel based closely off the Electric Brewing Supply 30 amp BIAB build. I powered it up and almost everything seems to be working right. Turning on the element switch, I hear the clunk of the relay closing and the element light is on, but dim. But it never...

I’m getting ready to install a 30 amp GFCI breaker in my main panel and am uncertain about this setup. See picture below. There is empty space to mount additional breakers ABOVE the main breaker. Why was the panel built with the main breakers not at the top? Does it matter? Is there anything in...

12” False bottom designed for 10 gal Igloo cooler. From Adventures in Homebrewing. Includes bulkhead and, if desired, a full port 1/2” 2-piece ball valve. $60 Johnson Analog temp controller. $40

I’m putting together (what as of now) is a 30A 240V single element BIAB panel and I stumbled upon this DIN Rail GFCI breaker. https://www.homedepot.com/p/ASI-32-Amp-240Vac-1-Pole-GFCI-Circuit-Breaker-DIN-Rail-Mount-NDB1L-32C-32-240V/307346213 I couldn’t find any discussion of this specifically...

A couple years ago, I bought a new 15 gal EBIAB kettle from Grounded Brewing Technologies intending to convert to electric. I'm finally getting around to it and now I'm not sure if this kettle best fits my needs. So I'm considering selling it in order to get something else more inline with my...

Hey all. Before purchasing, I’m laying out a panel design based on an Auber enclosure that already has the square cut for the PID. I can’t however find drawings that show the distances from top and side of the PID cutout. I know the length and width of the cutout but can anyone who has one of...

I am putting together a 110V dual heater setup with (1) 1500 watt element on maybe a Brew Commander and using a 2250 watt element to help with the big temp moves. Ideally, I am looking for an inexpensive, single-stage controller for the 2250 watt element to switch it on then off once it is a few...

I'm in the planning stages of converting to electric and one issue I'm running into is the electrical capacity of my brew space. I currently have only 120V service, with my outlets on two separate 20 amp circuits. My lights are on a third 20 amp circuit. I have 3, yes 3, fridges currently in use...
