Chat gpt also did not recognise that fcs exists also for home brewers, the price for the kit is not as cheap as DIY but is professional and shiny… The Brewtools Fermentation Control System (FCS) is one of the only commercially available systems that offers true software-based pressure control...

Is the table there correct because i understood that the remix does support the tilt and ispindel?

Ok just found what brewpiless means. I have several esp devices lying around….. can I use brewpiless to control a fridge compressor and a heater belt and take readings from a rapt pill…? Or am I better off using the rapt controller, one per fermenter…?

Thanks for the reply. I do t want to control pressure, I can maybe consider that in the future, but for now I am happy to set a pressure and leave it, and use brewpi to control temperature in a fridge. I have considered glycol but am leaning to brewpi. But if I can’t use what I have for 2...

hi, I have a brewpi arduino, from back in the day, I’ve come back to brewing and want to enjoy pressure fermentation. But can I use my original brewpi in its nice case to control 2 fermentation fridges? Also, can I use a rapt temperature/sg or do I have to use a tilt or ispindel? Also...

i often get debris in my rims system, even with a fine false bottom and no gaps, that’s why I’m going to try reversing my flow, to take wort from the top and reheated wort back in under the mash bed. Will report back once I’ve tried this.

I found this useful for calculating the theoretic capabilities of a rims. My rims is I believe 3kw so is capablé of increasing the wort temperature flowing through by 10c at 3lpm.

Hi chaps, what settings for Proportional (P) , Integral (I) and Derivative (D) are you guys using on your controlers?

If using rims to step up from 50c to 60c (122f to 140f) one would expect the wort returning to the mash to be at the desired temperature wouldn’t we? ie A 10c gain, the rims must be capable of delivering this I assume?

Thanks. From the hop hopper, the hops (leaf usualy) drop down a chute into the boiler. The problem was steam getting into the chute from the boil, so now i have an extracting fan sucking on another orifice on the boiler lid that sucks air down the chute, over the wort and out side with the...

Did you do a mash out to preserve you sugar profile? If you didnt and had a long sparge, the mash was longer that you planed, and more sugars were extracted. Steve

I was looking into measuring SG while sparging, to ensure sparge is stopped before tanin extraction. I was going to go down the digital refractometer route, using a simple 'drip feed' from the output of my mash tun to moitor the brix of the wort coming out. ie drop a drip of wort into the...

Like this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvWo33soi_o Works well, but nede to remake in stainless, but perspex is good for see how clean the hopper is. I trigger the solenoids using a Digibee+ from my automated brewery software i wrote in VB.net. Steve

Its gonna cost me $4300 to hire a HD for 30 days, maybe it would be cheaper to buy one second hand then sell it the other end! I am at the early stage of planning, i want to experience being in the US and meeting the people more than being a tourist realy...i want to do it for the experience...
