Thanks that's my plan. We started our development for a basic system just for the brewing portion, Obviously this is super low priority for the developer so i'm hoping it will get done in the next month or so. We have most of the hardware so are able to start building the device, the...

I have a couple developers that work for me (own small IT company) so we might just build one from scratch. I'm not sure what else i could control and monitor

Hey all. I'm building my own controller to control my brewing and fermenting processes. I'm still a bit new to the brewing but have made a few and have a decent 3 keg brewing system all built. When brewing i keep getting sidetracked and need a timer and system to monitor the brewing process...

Hey all, I'm looking to develop and build a controller to assist in my brewing and fermenting beer and was wondering what you would like in one? I plan on doing this all for myself as i keep getting sidetracked and forgetting steps while brewing so i want a device that i load the brewxml file...

grain crush was fine and we aerated the wort plenty. We used nottingham dry yeast and used according to instructions. The OG was so low because we used too much water and ended up with 6 gallons instead of 5 and didn't think to boil it out. Im not sure if i should just toss it or let it...

grain crush was fine and wort was aerated fine. We used nottingham yeast both for pitching and repitching similar to http://www.morebeer.com/products/dry-yeast-nottingham-ale-11.html?gclid=CjwKEAjwlPOsBRCWq5_e973PzTgSJACMiEp2AiY4PCX6ZABCIqz1cag7DXfNFwdher2qqzsTb_YWqBoC77nw_wcB The OG was low...

Started my first batch on 6/21 with OG 1.024 but it should of been 1.044. This was my first attempt and explains why i ended up with 6gal instead of 5gal. There wasn't any noticeable bubbles in airlock for the first week, but I put a temp sensor in so air might of been escaping. Also the...

on brewpi is there any form of manual mode? building a system now but hard to test outputs without being able to manually enable relays and other devices.

I have a couple kegs with temp sensors, water heater elements, and drains i use for another very similar hobby. I'm trying to use this equipment for homebrew and not needing to get a bunch more equipment if not needed. I usually clean the kegs with a few carboy scrubbers and some star san...

I have a pair of kegs with elements, temp sensors, and drains that i use for another hobby that very similar. I don't want to spend a ton more on additional equipment if not needed. We welded bungs to the outside of the kegs then able to screw elements and other options into the kegs, works...

Could I use a keg with a heater element for a boil kettle without cutting the top off? If I have a heater element and a drain at the bottom, but want to leave the top with the normal 3" opening.

I must of been reading too much. If im doing all grains and have a HLT, MLT and boil kettle, why do i need to heat the MLT?

I'm building a homebrew station in my basement and am planning on running electric using a controller and water heater element. Would it be better to use something like a keg and heating the water to a specific temp, then pouring hot water into a kettle below? Or should i make the...

Bought wunderbar with McCann bigmac carbonator and it don't think I can get the carbonator to turn off. We filled with water until water came out the relief valve then turned 100psi of CO2 and after a couple minutes the relief valve will start misting. If we turn off the carbonator then it...
