    Winter Makes Me Hate Propane! Convert Equipment or Go GRAINFATHER??

    My isdue with BIAB I'd lifting the grain bag out. For a regular 5 gallon batch, I'm sure it's fine. However, that's got to be pretty heavy if youryo doing a 10 gallon batch or more or a big beer. I know I could rig some pulleys up if it came to that, but it seemed like too much work so I went 3...

    Cold weather, glycol, and wort chiller question

    Oh, gotcha. What I've been doing is filling up soda bottles with water, freezing them, then tossing them into the cooler full of water. Once I'm done brewing, I put the bottles back in the freezer. During the summer, I'd run some water through the chiller straight from the tap until the wort...

    Cold weather, glycol, and wort chiller question

    Oops, I forgot to mention that. I could use either a coil immersion chiller or a counter-flow wort chiller.

    Winter Makes Me Hate Propane! Convert Equipment or Go GRAINFATHER??

    Heck, I'll make the trip from the other side of the state (Hudson Valley)! Definitely let is know when you're up and running.

    Winter Makes Me Hate Propane! Convert Equipment or Go GRAINFATHER??

    After almost running out of propane last winter, I decided to go electric and never worry about it again. I built my own 3 vessel eHERMS system using one tri-clamp heating element in the HLT and one Hot Rod I'm the boil kettle (I wanted to be able to remove everything from the boil kettle at the...

    Cold weather, glycol, and wort chiller question

    During the warm weather months, I have no problem using ground water to chill my wort. The last couple of times that I brewed, I tried using a sump pump submerged in a cooler filled with ice water on an attempt to conserve water and was pretty happy with the results. Now that temperatures here...

    CraftBeerPi - Raspberry Pi Software

    I have no idea. How do you check/set it up? Edit: I figured it out. Both are set to zero, which I'm sure is wrong, but it seemed to work.

    CraftBeerPi - Raspberry Pi Software

    I just fired up my rig for the first time and tested the HLT. I filled with 13 gallons of water at 40°. I set the target temp for 153°. It took 45 minutes to get to the target temp, at which time the heating element turned off. When the water cools to less than 153°, the element turns back on...

    CraftBeerPi - Raspberry Pi Software

    BeerGreek - where are your temperature sensors? Did you include them in your kettle setup? Are you sure you’re pairing the right sensor with the right kettle? I’m about ready to give my system a test run tomorrow... we’ll see what happens.

    CraftBeerPi - Raspberry Pi Software

    I’ve got a problem, too: I’m having a problem with the software when accessing from either an Android or Apple. All of the buttons on the interface work EXCEPT for the recipe schedule. So, I can operate all of my equipment, but I can’t run an automated recipe, nor can I even create or import...

    CraftBeerPi - Raspberry Pi Software

    Has anyone hooked up a piezo buzzer to work as an alarm for hop additions? I bought one active and one passive buzzer - each has three leads and is mounted on a little circuit board. I can't seem to get either one to work properly.

    [Version 2 Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

    I've been having a hell of a time getting it loaded onto a brand new Pi with a fresh SD card and OS install.

    [Version 2 Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

    Well, I decided to start screwing around since I can't make it work less than it does. Since the installer couldn't write to the logs or templates_c directories, and I couldn't find them anywhere, I created two new folders in the /var/www/html directory. The installer got a little farther, but...

    [Version 2 Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

    Okay, I've gotten this far: How do I correct? Edit - I was able to get the /includes/ permissions changed, but I'm stumped about the /logs/ and /templates_c/ folders. I'm not even sure where they are.

    [Version 2 Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

    I've got version php 7.0.27 I'm still trying to wrap my head around how the Raspberry Pi works as far as command lines, etc. I downloaded the Raspberry Pints 2.0.1 ZIP and unzipped it. At this point, do I take your code and replace the original code, then install it? I feel so technologically...

    [Version 2 Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

    long time lurker, first time poster... I thought I could get away with just reading a bunch of posts and figuring things out on my own, but I am stumped. My wife got me a Raspberry Pi 3B+ for my birthday with the idea that I could run Raspberry Pints on it. Well, I have no idea what the heck...
