I just got my BrewPi up and running and wanted to add an LCD to be able to check temps at a glance. It was quite the chore to get the BrewPi software up and running correctly since Im using a new Pi Zero W and there was a compatibility issue with the OS. I found the thread describing what...

day_tripper, Thanks for the timely responses. I'll see what my more tech savvy friend has to say about this. After all it was him that set up the software and got it all working through quite a bit (10 hours) of trial and error. Again thanks for the advice! Im sure I'll have more questions...

Thanks BrunDog for the reply. Just to clarify before i smoke this thing, I SHOULDN'T use that pin to ground anything but I CAN? Thanks again! Cant wait to get this rig fired up

I am trying to wire up my brewpi according to the diagram in the 1st photo. My question is; since I am using connecting wires with male or female ends on them, I cant put 2 wires on the ground pin on the SSR (I suppose I could cut the connector ends off and solder them but I dont have a...

I am brewing a saison today and want to keep all the flavors subtle. A good example would be like a Collete from Great Divide. I want to add chamomile as the only "spice" and let the yeast strain provide any other spice flavors and aromas. Just wondering how much would be a good...

I have a started going for a saison that im going to brew on tuesday. I have been thinking about the recipe for a little while now and what i want the final beer to taste like. I want it to be a softer, more subtle saison and not very tart and overpowering. I want any of the "spice" flavor to...

I'm heading up to the pictured rocks a week from tomorrow! I cant wait and i just wanna say that i love the UP. Im also looking forward to the MBG Oktoberfest in Marquette! Im just about to start a job at Arcadia Ales; training to brew for them so i hope that i get to go up there with the...

a lot of these logos are awesome! with the right branding campaign behind some of 'em i could see some of them becoming as big as some of the bigger ones we all talk about on this forum! Correct me if I'm wrong but I feel like a brewery's success dependent on both the quality of the product...

I didnt do a cream ale, I used edworts haus pale for a base then tried to get the pepper flavor right. I added a couple roughly chopped jalapenos to the last 5 minutes of the boil then 3 jalapenos, 1 tbsp of red pepper flakes, and a half a habanero to the secondary for about 2 weeks. the...

brewing for 2 and a half years and meager experience? I love how (mostly) everyone is so humble on this forum. I've gained so much information from this forum after pouring over the books and not finding the answers i was looking for. When i post a question I usually have an answer within...

one more question, does the heater have a temp setting by number or do you have to mess with it until the water temp is where you want it to be?

How is the fish tank heater working? Ive thought of doing the exact same thing if i ever needed to ferment at a higher temp than my basement.

Ha! I guess i should have posted 2 questions. any name suggestions would be awesome too! I was thinking "the devil down below" after the Gaelic storm song about a whaling ship and the condition you get while on the toilet after too much capsasin.

I just kegged my spicy jalapeno version of Edworts haus pale. I posted a few questions asking for advice on how to get the spice. I ended up putting 2 roughly chopped jalapenos in the last 5 minutes of the boil. I let it ferment out and when deciding if i should keg or put in secondary i...
