    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    Probably not instead of in the chart... just an added feed of the current gravity to go along with the battery age and current temp from the Tilt would be perfect. BTW, thanks for all your work on this! I remember a few years back, trying to cobble together all the different instructions trying...

    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    I've been away for a while... is there a way to show the Tilt Gravity reading in addition to, or in lieu of, the Tilt Temp on the status board? I'd love to have a quick at-a-glance reading.

    SSR Amperage

    Man, I hope not! It's a Mager (made in China anyway) and is heavy for the size. I got it on ebay from a seller with reviews from other homebrewers so I'm fairly confident it's a real SSR. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't going to be an issue with it being rated for 90A. I'll keep my...

    SSR Amperage

    I finally received all of my parts from China and I found that they sent me a 90A SSR instead of the 40A I requested. Is it going to make any difference using a 90A? I'm only using a single 240v 5500w element on a 30A circuit. Thanks.

    Evaluation of grain crush

    Getting a grain mill was one of the best investments I've ever made for homebrewing. My efficiency shot up dramatically since I began crushing my own grain. If you want an economy model, look for the Cereal Killer mill. This time of year brewstores will typically offer them up at under $100 shipped.

    Joe's Ancient Orange Mead

    Made my first batch on 12/12/13 and bottled it today. Great flavor but very hot! Really hoping it mellows out over the next few months. It ended up at 16% abv. :drunk:

    First All-Grain Lithuanian Dortmunder Help Needed

    Hey everyone. I've got a number of extract brews under my belt and they have all turned out very well. I think it's time I give all-grain a go. Part of the stipulations of me starting to homebrew is that I have to come up with a clone recipe of Svyturys Ekstra for SWMBO. This is where I really...

    Man, I love Apfelwein

    Holy rhino fart! I just put this together yesterday using Montrachet, brown sugar and wine nutrient... it still smells like butt. It is bubbling away though. I don't think I've ever seen something ferment so vigorously. I can actually hear the bubbles in the fermenter. It sounds like highly...

    Joe's Ancient Orange Mead

    I'm really excited about this! I followed the instructions to the T as this is my first foray into fermentation. If this goes well I want to try an authentic Lithuanian midus recipe to surprise my wife (she's from Lithuania). Within 10 minutes of pitching the yeast I had about two bubbles a...
