    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    I downloaded NOOBS for Jessie and it worked perfectly. Thank you for all your help. I'm back up and running. Any way to make a backup of the SD card so that I can just restore it quickly if this ever happens again?

    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    Whoa well that might do it. I can't keep up with these things! Ok that could explain why I was able to run on Jessie before and now I can't. It's not Jessie anymore! I'll try to find a Jessie release and install that. Should be as straightforward as last time.

    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    Thanks! Unfortunately, we're looking at a different problem. There's a bunch of files in the /var/www/html forlder. And the DocumentRoot file shows /var/www/html there too. Not sure what the issue is. I could always just format the sd card and install Wheezy. I was just hoping to have it...

    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    Ok thanks for the help. I thought BrewPi was already rooted to /var/www/html because it asked me if that's where I want to install it. But I'm sure I'm missing something. How exactly do I go about setting the Apache2 DocumentRoot back to /var/www? Do I just go into the document and edit...

    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    Hey everyone. Been a while since I've posted here. I had my brewpi working for a couple months then I think my micro SD card became corrupted somehow (wouldn't boot at all). I tried formatting and reinstalling, but now I can't figure this last part out. I downloaded the latest NOOBS file...

    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    I haven't looked at this thread in a long time, but I'm glad to see it's still active. I once had my brewpi setup working with an old netbook, but I want to buy a raspberry pi now to set it up a little nicer. Why is the model 2 version linked in the first post? Does this system need the...

    First time harvesting my Cascade!

    I used the air filter with a box fan technique. I only left it about 18 hours and they went from 5.2 ounces to 1.65 ounces. I'm not going to dry them any further because I'm a little concerned about removing the lupulin. When I was weighing them in a bowl, I notice some had fallen off and...

    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    Hey everyone. It's been a few days since I've posted here. I finally got things mostly squared away. Thank you to MongooseMan, Geo, and Elco for being kind enough to chat with me and help me solve these issues. I never would have been able to figure it out. If anyone ever has issues with...

    First time harvesting my Cascade!

    Hey everyone. I harvested my Cascades yesterday and now I'm already thinking of a recipe for them. I ended up with 5.2 ounces, so hopefully it will end up around 1.5 ounces when dry. I was thinking of doing a simple American Pale Ale. I'm not sure if they have as much lupulin as they...

    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    I'm about ready to give up. I removed my linux partitions and reinstalled Ubuntu, which worked better than Debian the last time I tried. I installed brewpi and everything looked ok. When I opened up the web page, I get 404 Not Found. I tried reinstalling brewpi and removing it and...

    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    I am able to download the .csv file and I was graphing it in excel the other day. The data seem fine and continue after midnight. I don't think there's anything wrong with it. I'll take a closer look later. You might be onto something here. I wonder how I could check that. I was thinking about...

    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    Ok so I've still got problems with interference and charts. I'm already working on the interference and I'm waiting for some items I ordered to come in. I don't think the two problems are connected though. I was running a new brew all day yesterday from 2 PM and everything was fine until...

    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    I don't think so. I thought of that, but it logs even when the sensors are gone. Also, I started a new brew 2 hours ago and it was working perfectly until right now (which prompted me to post this). I have been watching closely and I have the BrewPi on my second monitor while I've been on...

    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    I am unable to fix my chart. On my phone, I can navigate the charts much better on my phone, where it lets me see the earlier graph. I've attached a couple of pictures to show you what I mean. In the first picture, you can see that the time stamps are all gone, and the graphs all look weird...

    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    I'm using some DS18B20s that I got very cheap on eBay. I'm wondering if better quality sensors will fix the issue. I ordered a new charger and some ferrite cable clamps. Hopefully that will be enough. I've been able to get it up and running and I've been monitoring it from work using TeamViewer...

    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    Ok so after troubleshooting, the problem isn't the circuitry or the power cable powering the refrigerator. I have isolated the problem to my laptop battery charger, which is a bummer. I can unplug the charger, and my temps come up right away after 3 seconds. Then I plug it in, and they go away...

    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    Ok I finally got my brewpi up and running. I've had so many issues with this, from the Debian OS (which I ended up using Ubuntu anyway), to the temp sensors, to the null values for the temps. I was struggling a lot with the null values. I had everything working fine without plugging in the...

    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    Ok good to know. I have some spare 100 ohms resistors and I'm using PCB for some of my wiring so it would be really easy to do.

    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    How important is the 4.7 k Ohms resistor's accuracy? I measured the resistors I bought and they were all 4.6 k Ohms, which is within the stated 5% accuracy. Will if affect the accuracy of the temp sensors? I could easily wire a 100 Ohms resistor in series with the 4.6k Ohms and achieve the 4.7...

    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    I actually found your posts by searching the thread right after posting my question! I almost sent you a pm asking which one you have. I'm pretty sure we have the same one because mine also have the red, yellow and green wires. Who would put green for anything but ground?! That's so weird...
