Got it up and functioning, thanks!

Does this spreadsheet template still work? I was able to download the template and input the appropriate values to control my plug (turn on / turn off functioned as expected), deploy the web app, and get the appropriate URL from the Tilt menu. However when I put that URL into Tiltpi it does...

Who dey!

Is there a "best orientation" for adafruit flowmeters? When I first calibrated my flowmeters all 4 were accurate within 5-10% but I have since noticed that some of them report up to 2x (seems like almost always ~2x) the amount sometimes (I need to do more investigation to figure out if they are...

FYI, this is my most recent report from a few days ago. This is in the Westwood\Cheviot area: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/forum/index.php?threads/653397/

Thanks! Maybe I will start with all the salts in the mash and maybe 75% of the lactic and see where that lands pH wise.

So on my 26th batch, after tackling the move from extract to all grain (BIAB), getting away from bottling (4 tap keezer), and controlling fermentation temps (chest freezer fermentation chamber) I have finally decided to begin tackling the water variable. I have always used straight tap water in...

USA, use to monitor my fermentation chamber temps.

So I ran into another issue, mechanical this time. When I went to install my flowmeters on my carbonated water test line I they were leaking pretty bad. I am using adafruit flow meters with these adapters: https://www.mcmaster.com/#5372k174/=1d8j8p2 Unfortunately the adapters did not include...

So I got my pours working. In my case the trick was to set the baud rate to 9600 in flow_monitor.py. The issue that I am having now is that I deleted all the pre-populated kegs fom the keg list and added 5 of my own. However when I go to my taps to tap a keg none of them show up in the keg...

I also had already inceporated all the commands from that referenced post Not sure how to to troubleshoot at this point.

I changed baud rate to 57600 and made the change to the port. Im still not seeing anything in the raspberrypints interface :-(

So I changed ttyUSB0 to ttyACM0 (I thought I bought a clone but maybe not) and now I get this when I blow through the meter (3 times). I guess that means it is actually registering something but I still don't see anything happening in the web interface under pours

So as I anticipated I am having issues getting my flowmeter to work. Screenshot attached. Any insight? Thanks!

Thanks! I got everything completed except the flow meters last night (at the least I seem to have a fully functioning digital tap list now). I will probably try and get at least one of my 4 flowmeters up and running by the end of the weekend to start testing. I appreciate the guidance.

So I am in the middle of performing this install across multiple nights as I'm in no hurry. I am using a rapberry pi 3b (not a +) and an arduino uno clone. So far I believe I am successfully through step 4. One thing I am not understanding as I read through the tons of instructions and...

Anyone have a link to fittings that would go from the Adafruit 828 flow meters to my liquid lines (3/16''ID x 7/16''OD Thickwall PVC Beer Line)?

Yep, I have no other temp control right now (beyond swamp cooler) so I was considering it for lagering. Thanks for the write up, it will come in real handy in the next few weeks. Any other lessons learned?

I am looking at that same model freezer for my build. Do you think you could get 4 cornies and a fermenter in there or is that too tight?

That is a great deal! I have a feeling I would have buyer's remorse for not getting at least a 15 gallon eventually. I am still searching!
