    Not too bad for me. I'd probably rather drive an hour to Washington than fight through the south side... I'm a spoiled suburb driver with a stick shift, haha. Do you plan on keeping the 'rolling batch' idea?

    Automated/closed system HERMS layout

    Did you mean "All temp sensors in a BSP tee" or did you actually mean flow? Those one wire temp sensors are slick. I like them a lot for the brewpi. I would really try to make an easier calibration algorithm for them though. I keep meaning to calibrate my brewpi sensors... but then I never do...

    Automated/closed system HERMS layout

    I don't want to hijack the thread by any means, but I guess it is pertinent information to any HERMS system. If you want to edit this stuff out El, go ahead and go for it. My mash thickness becomes a mute point in terms of flow restriction. After a few minutes the grain is in the bottom of...

    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    Hey. I was just wondering if you still needed me to follow up with this? I had to redo my setup to incorporate a 2nd brewpi server. Do you still need more info?

    Automated/closed system HERMS layout

    Thanks. I actually do preheat my false bottom and coil with the strike water. It does help. I use a 25' 1/2" copper coil for my heat exchanger - it comes out within a degree of the HTL temp I believe, regardless of flow rate. I'll double check next brew. I think the basic issue is that you...

    Just my $0.02 on the lines. To each their own. I was pretty bummed to see the build up in my various plumbing fittings though over time. It is nice to be able to squeeze a bit and judge flow. Check out Omega for flow sensor ideas (and way more info than most people would want)...

    Automated/closed system HERMS layout

    I admittedly did not read through the entire thread in detail, but I have some input - sorry if it has already been said. For what it is worth - I use a brewpi setup on both a fermentation fridge and chest freezer... It's awesome. My HERMS system does not play nicely with an Auberins PIDs as...

    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    Had the same issue a few pages back: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/howto-make-brewpi-fermentation-controller-cheap-466106/index191.html#post6395052

    I still think some of the 2x quantity splits are a bit goofed up. I have 2x of the BM Munich malt splits, for example.

    Just leave the split at 25% and select a quantity of 2.... 2/4 instead of 1/2 =)

    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    Good morning! I recently got this ordeal setup pretty nicely. I'm happy with it - I just want to add some more insulation to the fridge and add a small PC fan in there. Anyhow, being fully aware of the security concerns, I did want to open my Brewpi to the web, at least for a while, to keep an...
