Finished building up one of these over the weekend. I used the Wemos official lipo board and a different accelerometer, but it's basically the same stuff (need to merge the official firmware with my test code). I was excited to find such a long and active thread about it. Is there anything...

It appears that the recipator website is down again. Does anyone know anything about its upkeep? I'm a big fan of using it as it's web-based and not OS dependent. The kicker is that it saves my recipes as HTML. I have a touch-panel PC in my brewery that runs WindowsXP Embedded and has...

Arugh, I'll try to post this a third time hopefully I won't get a "token expired" message this go around. Anyway, apparently SparkFun was reading our thread about touch screens for embedded projects. While I was looking through their weekly new product post, I saw these new serial LCD screens...

I'll add in a data point about pulling back but very infrequently scaling down. While I do have friends who have gone into the mode of trying to simplify their brewing process (batch sparging vs fly, moving to BIAB, etc), but I only know one person who has taken that so far as to go from 10+...

alien, thanks for the shout-out. I know that it's kind of a lame response, but if you're going to put something more complicated than an off-the-shelf PID controller in the box, I'd highly suggest you add a touch-screen to it. I used a Reach Tech 4.7" dude, and it's pretty slick. That way you...

NO KIDDING! I was floored when I went to try to buy my main electric cord and plug. I ended up getting a good deal on 4-4 when I split a roll off ebay with a buddy. It's really nice and flexible, so it works great...but man...

Mine would still look a whole lot like the before as well if it hadn't been for all of the work that my company put into it. I only added minimal functionality to it, but it's a whole lot shinier. I definitely don't make any better beer with it. I guess the only asterisk is that I do get...

I'll add in my two cents. You can go slowly. I started with a single 8 gallon pot and a turkey fryer. I'd set pots and buckets on different stacks of things to get the right gravity feed. My first step into the e-brewing was when I realized that I hated watching the temp on my strike water...

I'll second that. I put in a 50A breaker and have a GFCI in a spa panel on my brewery. That way I can plug it into any 50A circuit and run it safely at full-power, or I can switch out the plug for a normal dryer outlet and run it at half-power. That way I can take it other places to brew. If...

There was a question a little further back in the thread about regulating the power. There are various ways to accomplish the same thing, but the general term you're looking for is pulse-width modulation (PWM). That just means that you're turning the power on and off repeatedly to deliver less...

If you broke the solder joint free when you were installing fittings, then it's very likely that you had a cold solder in the first place. If the solder flows properly, you shouldn't be able to take it off with an impact wrench. I was in the same boat recently. I was cleaning things up and...

I'm not sure why, but the pics didn't link. I'll see if I can fix that.

Is anyone in Central Texas interested in giving a new home to my old brewery frame? I'm asking for $150 to cover most the material cost that I have in it, but I want to get it out of the garage...so I'm willing to entertain offers if it goes to a good home. I've posted it to a local email list...

The word on the street is that we're going to have someone from our media team come take video of a brewing session sometime soon. I owe a lot of beer to a lot of people who helped out with the project. I thought I'd kill two birds with one stone and shoot video while making a giant batch, but...

Wow, so I looked through the pictures that my brewing buddy took last week, and really only one of them turned out very well. I like how shiny the kegs look at night though. I also posted the source code and a built executable for the app that I am currently running on the touch panel PC...

Kirch, I was going for a mix between Blue Steel and stainless steel with this one. I think I nailed it. Seriously though, I'll post some of the pictures from the brewing last week and from the GUI for the touch PC tomorrow and link them here. I'm really happy with how I'm using the touch PC...

Ha! I didn't intend to imply or presume gender. I meant "guys" more generally...but yes, even more difficult to explain the ladies that I've met on the internet coming by the house randomly.

Yah, I was excited to see that yesterday afternoon. Their commenters have been pretty brutal on my wiring technique though! I know that it's ugly, and I'm aware that I had to mix power and signal level wiring (no choice since I wanted the actual AC circuits represented in the LEDs on the...

I've been an occasional poster and a long time lurker on this forum, so that compliment carries a lot of weight coming from you (and from Yooper as well). Thanks guys.
