    Clean, Fast Ale Yeast?

    I did a black IPA with Kveik MJ's M12, fermentation ready in 2 days, dryhopped for 3 days and bottled after 5 days. Two weeks later I had a perfectly tasting black IPA and it didn't taste like Kveik, Kveik (depending on the strain) has a neutral flavor. Interesting articles: How to use Kveik and...

    iSpindle - DIY Electronic Hydrometer

    That is a pretty professional photo if you ask me, lol. But that is one of my builds witth the 2.69 version of the board, with the round side of the DS18B20 facing up.

    That was in the previous version of the Jeffreys. With the 2.69 he altered the orientation of the temp probe 180 degrees so that the round side faces up so that it matches the round side of the inside of the tube making it easier to insert aswell.

    ...and after you have soldered a new one and the iSpindel doesn't work check the gyroscope as well because that could be fried too. Click the link and lookup Temp Probe https://www.opensourcedistilling.com/ispindel-troubleshooting/

    No it's not. The round side should be facing up. You should solder it so that the shape of the probe matches the silkscreen, the white lines on the board.

    The only thing I can think of is that you soldered the temp probe the wrong way round.

    iSpindle - DIY Electronic Hydrometer

    Did you follow these instructions, especially the sg part where it say's "** You will need to change the polynominal in the config for the correct gravity value when using the specific gravity URL." and calibration part? By default an iSpindel reports gravity in Plato so if you want SG you'll...

    You clearly have a hardware problem, probably a faulty MPU6050 (gyro) or temp sensor.

    Tilt Hydrometer Question

    An iSpindel would even be cheaper, it connects to wifi and has the same functionality as the Tilt.

    Yes it will but you'll miss all data in between connections, it will only send the data of the moment it connects to WiFi successfully. I would recommend installing a WiFi range extender in your garage, then the iSpindel will always have a connection to the extender and the extender with your...

    Yes the angle should go down. Did you calibrate on a flat surface with the battery facing down? What model of iSpindel do you have?
