No it started 4 days ago Its dropped to 1.030

No real way to do it without adding oxygen but I thought that wouldnt matter as the yeast will sue that O2 anyway????

Hi guys, Ive just brewed a belgain Dark strong ale but instead of getting an SG of 1.088 I only managed 1.076. I was going to add some DME as the ferment slowed down but not sure if I should sue some dark DME or perhaps add some more candi syrup. I used 700 grams of candi syrup in the boil...

Thanks for the tips Shane. Ive buiilt to ESP8266 controllers that Ive been running for years so Im assuming the ESp32 build will be similar. Ive already got some 5v 2a power supplies to use as well..

Thanks mate, so should I order your board from Tindie or OSHpark? Do they both ship to Oz?

Thanks Thorrak for the reply. When you say "The Lolin D32 Pro + matched TFT" work great, which one is the matched TFT? Is it this one? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32919729730.html?gatewayAdapt=4itemAdapt Or should I just get the other one you linked from Ali express?

Hi guys, Im going to build a new controller using the ESP32, but was wondering if someone could advise what TFT screen I should buy? Also is there a wiring diagram available or is it all the same as the esp8266? I have some PCB boards left over from my original esp8266 builds but Im not sure of...

Thanks for the repsonse mate. That sounds interesting. Ill certainly give it a go and build a new controller with an esp32. Not because I need one, but because its fun to build.. Cheers

Excuse my ignorance but how do I update this? Its been awhile since I first built mine? Its not part of the firmware updates you can do in fermentrack is it? And then how would I acccess the HTTP interface? What IP address as the one I use now takes me to fermentrack?

Hi guys, Ive been running to temp controllers with fermentrack for many years now. I washaving issues where every now and again my temp probe display would just disappear from the lcd screen and id get dashed lines instead so I eventually changed temp probes and that has finally ifxed the...

Hi guys, I know its been asked before bit there are so many posets in this thread now. But what’s the best way to copy my SD card for when the one Im using gets corruoted and I have to start again? I assume Ill need to connect my raspberry pi to a monitor and keyboard etc and do it within...

Cheers mate, I grabbed some from Altronics from Springvale today. Will see how I go with them.

Yes I am and Altronics isnt far from me at all. Thanks heaps for letting me know Ill go get some today.

Thanks Thorrak. Ive been using Fermentrack for many many years now and have also managed to get a few brew club guys onto it as well. Appreciate all you do for it.

yeh I was thinking of maybe getting better probes. The probes i bought from eBay were only $4.95 each. The probes I can get from another supplier Aus electronic direct are $21 each but I want to make sure they aren’t the same eBay cheapies they are selling.

Ok I fixed this temp controller. it was a loose temp sensor wire. But.... That still doesnt explain my issue of temp controller 2 randomly switching to dashes every now and again over the last few years. Maybe I should just swap out the power supply? I do have another one. I assume the 1 wire...

The probes are allocated in settings but says temp value: none. When I trued to . When I tried to refresh sensor temp readings I get this error. Could It be that I have faulty temp sensors on both of my controllers? On the other controller I hard wired the sensors and bypassed a 3 pin plug I...

No one seems to be using fermentrack anymore. I posted 3 weeks ago and no one has posted since? Anyway does anyone else get this error from time to time? Ive been getting it in both of my controllers and there was mention of faulty power supplies but a mate of mine is using the same power...

Hi guys, is there anyway you can use VNC to connect to your pi then open fermentrack and check on your fermentations when away from home? If so is it easy to setup?
