Interesting find about Inspector Elements. I have been using isnspector elements as labels or to display a background. In the past I used globals but because of the data exchange overhead I try not to use them. This is regarding the value you can set using a variable in a Script. You have to...

Working on my scripts again I was getting an error I could not track down then I remembered. Global Elements do NOT have the displayname script code. If you try something like: For any Global that is not a String Type: "Global 1" displayname ="My Global Element" you will get the error [ERROR...

Wow! I was lucky. I did a Brew the other day and had a Quadzilla melt. I had set up my script so the Quadzilla could only be On if the Pump was On. The Quadzilla and circuit was the heater I had the least issues with. It started as always as I use it as a heat source for a small HLT. I...

Thanks, I ran my mill for the first time yesterday. I did spray with some water and left it for 20 minutes. The spayer I was using was a very fine mist. I did not measure but will in the future. I did an entire 50 # of Briess Pale Ale Malt. I was making two double batches (One 16 g and...

No Pix

I have two heating elements in an HLT. I do have a PWM to voltage converter. The output of that goes to a 2-10v Propotional Controller. I was trying to use a Hysteris Element type, but it heats but never reaches the Setpoint. (About 60-70 F below). I tried a Duty Cycle but that does not...

My one wires are working or not. I am going to try a different resistor.

@concob: @DuncB Thanks. I ordered a Gap Guage that read from .5 to 15 mm. I will try about 1.5 to see how it does. How do you condition the grain? I think I read to mist and leave 6 hours.

I just put my Maltzilla togather. The instruction could have been clearer and what gap to set is non existant. They say add some grain an crush and look at it. I would love to have a starting point. Two credit cards? 4 credit cards? Have seached the web and unless I want to buy a...

Maltzilla suggest misting and a 6 hour wait.

Trying to set up some one wires probes. I created the first one and it read good ( around 75 F). I added a second one and they both now read -196. I have wired it with the data wire to Pin /Port 6 , a 4.7K resistor between the 5 v (from the Mega) and the ground attacted to the Mega as well...

I went back an rechecked (and re documented) my wiring as I am not that neat with it. I made sure that the TF4 is powered with the 5+ volts of the Mega (tied to AREF) and that the ground is tied to a Mega GND. They are all steady now. I am not using the 5 vdc of the Mega for anything else...

Did a major rewire and other stuff to my Brewery but having issues with my 10KNTC probes. All of them continuely "hunt" going Down then Up in unison (All 8 go up and down exactly at the same time.) when they hit the bottom (As an example One: around 8.2 then go up to about 29.8 then back...

I always lager in a keg. Only way to get it to a stable temp for 30 days. I have fermeted in a Keg but have glycol chilled conicals so no longer do that.

Check out https://camra.org.uk/ This started in the 1970s and you can find events and pubs that serve Real Ale. I was a member long ago. You can search with filters. Cask Ale Historic Interior and Pub are good choices.
