    Native ESP8266 BrewPi Firmware - WiFi BrewPi, no Arduino needed!

    I use a mini-fridge as a dual purpose fermentation chamber and beverage cooler and am bypassing the auto defrost feature. Is there a way to add a defrost timer to Fermentrack for when I just want fridge constant for beverages?

    First pour = Bad taste

    Thanks for all the info. After running PBW and then a double strength StarSan solution, the bad taste was gone after checking the next day. I'll check it again this weekend when I get home. I do have a seal kit and will give that a try. As far as future cleaning techniques go, I have no...

    First pour = Bad taste

    So one of the kegs blew this afternoon and I'm busy flushing the line with the PBW mix I'm cleaning the keg with. After I shut the tap faucet off, it takes about 10 seconds and then I get another 1/4 ounce or so that comes out. It doesn't do this with beer in the line. Only cleaner. Any...

    Hey thanks Bob. I do let it sit awhile but probably not 15 minutes. I'll give it a try. What's the acid cleaning you speak of? I haven't done that.

    First pour = Bad taste

    I had a problem pop up recently on two of my taps (the third one is empty at the moment..). I have to toss the first half a pint after not pouring for a day. My guess would be its something in the line giving it a bad flavor. I always flush the lines with BLC and take apart the faucets to...

    Fermentrack: Fermentation monitoring & BrewPi-www Replacement for Raspberry Pi

    Bummer.. I haven't tried yet but I also have a 3 B+ and a tilt. TiltPi works really well on it so I'm not sure its a bluetooth issue.

    Basement Keezer with Taps through Wall

    Thanks for the great idea! I finished this project just in time for Thanksgiving and it was a huge hit to have the taps working. Faucets are nice and cold and pour awesome. I've since insulated the exterior of the collar and pipes.
