searching on this forum usually results in a lot more hay than needles. I've also seen a few other massive threads where people like yourself have generously spent their time compiling the information into a condensed format. The massive pressurized fermentation thread has about 2-3 of these...

Weird. Worked right out of the box for me. Yeah, I would use an online calculator before going down the missing .dll rabit hole

No need for eclipse. Although the package contains the source, it also contains precompiled binaries. All you need to do is create a text file named 'simu.txt' with the temp/resistance table and put that in the same directory as 'coeff.exe'. Then from the command line you just have to run...

Here is where I got the program from. thermistor.sourceforge.net It takes in a text file of the entire temp/resistance curve. It will give a 4th order approximation, but you can ignore the 4th coefficient when entering the values in BruControl.

I got one for $45 off ebay, so less economical, but still not as much as a Tilt. I also can't use my Tilt. Despite other people's luck using these in conicals, I cannot get a signal out of a sanke keg once I install the spear. I just got my new fermentation chamber control panel finished up...

As of now, you cannot display more than one workspace at a time. You can display the same workspace on multiple monitors, but that requires multiple computers where the computers not running BruControl would remote desktop/VNC/teamviewer/etc. to display/control the remote computer running...

To get Node Red up and running for this, you will need a flow/code for this. Luckily, @RiverCityBrewer helped me out by sending the flow that he and @Die_Beerery created. Once you import the flow you need to: Install xml2json node (google can help here) change location to pickup exported...

There are several LHBS in my area. There are 3 that stand out due to their staff/owner. First has been around for 20ish years now. It's run by the owner who is a curmudgeon. Walking into his shop you are first interrogated as to why you are there and what you need. Then he watches you grab...

This brings up a good question or 2. Where the heck is this big release with a database backend? But on another note, will there be some documentation on this database, so people can extract data from it outside of BruControl?

This is my sous fide setup. I bought this thing from wallyworld/target/whoKnowsWhere. It sits over my heating element to protect the bag/food from scorching on the element. Here is the last time I used it in my 20 gal boil kettle. The red "circle" points out the re-circulation pump. My...

No differences other than time. Previously I would pour a sample between 2 jars a few times, then let it sit for several hours.

I ferment under pressure so I have more than the normal amount of CO2 in solution when I go to take my final gravity reading with fully carbonated beer. I use a canning jar attachment for my food saver to create a vacuum in the headspace. Works quite well for me.

I'm not sure if the OP was intending on writing their own SW with the SOLO pids or use automation direct's SW gui interface. I bought a SOLO PID for my fermentation chamber along with an RS485-usb adapter to program ramp/soak fermentation profiles several years ago. The SW is very old and no...

A new mill and motor are on my list of the never ending upgrades...

You mount your USB camera in front of the sight glass with TAPE? How low-tech of you. :smh:

I cut off one of the handles on the MT and cut the corners off the base plate of my crappy barley crusher/drill combo, so I can mill directly into the MT. Definitely cut down on the amount of grain dust in the air. I'm pretty sure I have a new best friend and its name is CIP. I brewed...

Nice suggestion. I think I might put this on repeat in the garage tomorrow while this system makes some wort for me.

Some of the 24V tan guys. I also bought some March 24VDC pumps off Ebay a while back. They came without heads, so I bought some chugger heads for them. Correct. These things can be accounted for and were with my deadband flow control scripts. However, given that I needed to add a way to...

You may notice in this video that there is a moment where the 2 yellow/green LEDs turn gray. I didn't realize this at the time, but the Arduino Mega in my second panel was being reset because of the butterfly valve. I soldered some resistors and capacitors I had on hand to create some RC...

Isn't that whats to great about this hobby? We can all participate at the level we are comfortable with and still make great beer. There are so many different areas to go hog wild and geek out on; from automation, to hi-tech home yeast wrangling labs. However, none of that is necessary to make...
