Just another bit - I FINALLY (AMAZINGLY) got a notification yesterday that my PCBs.io order shipped... My order date was 4/24. I got an update on my OshPark order (ordered 5/27) saying it was scheduled to be shipped shortly before I got the one from PCBs.io saying they were shipping (I had...

Well, if you consider a full 5 gallons is about 40 beers (assuming a REAL pint of 16oz), then that works out to 2.8 beers per day (3.8 if you, go for a 12oz pour)... not all that far out of line from US 'guidelines' (And assuming zero waste)... But then I don't think anyone knows what's REALLY...

Hmmm... That's an idea. Once I keg it, it'll sit for probably a week carbing before it actually gets tapped. This would only be the second dry hop I've done, but I'm guessing that a certain amount of hops (2oz in this case) can only impart so much on the beer, so it doesn't really matter if it's...

So just a quick update, for grins, I loaded up the TFT firmware and disconnected the LCD, and it's been sitting for a week and the web interface still hasn't come up, yet with the LCD attached, it sits that way for a random amount of time and then for whatever reason finally comes up and starts...

By 'suckback', I assume you mean in the airlock? If so, I've been using 'S' airlocks for this very reason, because they allow bi-directional flow, unlike the airlocks with the 'hat' that floats on the liquid medium to form the airlock, that would create a vacuum when the temp drops 30*.

Last time I dry hopped was about 5 years ago with a Black IPA - when I brewed that, I used a bag with two large stainless nuts in it to keep it down, and as I recall, at that time, I didn't have the ability to cold crash, so I probably kegged once it was done and went from there. I currently...

That makes sense... Why didn't I think of that? 🙂 Thanks.

Dumb question that I don't believe I've seen the answer to - in Fermentrack, in the 'Current ABV' tile for the tilt device, what does 'aa:' mean?

Any thoughts why it's sitting at the 'Access your TiltBridge at:' screen? As of now, it's been sitting there since I last posted... This is on one of my Lolin D32 Pro units. Originally, I thought maybe something was goofy with the touch portion of the screen based on the previous issue of it not...

What is the expected behavior of the TFT firmware Tiltbridge? If you recall, when I first tried to use it, it was determined that the code is waiting for an input from the TFT touch interface, and as a result, it was never fully booting and so the web interface never came up. Now that I have a...

I can check with a co-worker to be sure, but a code signing certificate can be had for $200/yr - I don't THINK you need much, if anything more than that (could be wrong though).

You know, I'm in the same boat. I ordered a set of PCBs for a Fermentrack related project on 4/24, and it too is still 'In Fabrication'. Supposed to be 7-10 days to ship. Maybe they are actually coming from China? Maybe I should have stuck with OSH Park..... For the temperature probe, while I...

Fair enough. I looked back and found that the heater I had tried was 350W, so I may give the one you used a whirl when the need arises (My fermetation chamber is in my unheated garage, so in winter it's needed, but generally not now). At 150W less, it's very possible it'll be more suited to the...

So I determined that the connector on the Lolin D32Pro's is a JST SH 10 cavity, which is available as Digkey part number 455-1400-ND. They also have 6" leads with the proper terminals on both ends for the JST SH connector, Digikey P/N 455-3076-ND. Now, if you are looking to build a cable to...

Is there a particular reason it HAS to be the lolin screen? I ended up picking up a 'random' TFT of the proper size and resolution, that uses the same TFT and touch chips off Amazon, then I got the proper connector to connect up to the Lolin TFT port along with the wires for the connector and...
