    Micro-plastics, head space.. which fermenter?

    I've been hearing a lot about the harmful effects micro-plastics have on living beings and it is easy to throw up the hands and just say it's unavoidable at this point. But I just read this scientific paper on it and I thought maybe it would be good to at least try to minimize exposure (for...

    BrewPi Remix – What’s Old is New Again

    That 30 was when it went to defaults in centigrade and I started raising it.. I quickly changed it back to 68.0 degrees F. I was aiming for. Unfortunately I really messed up.. When I thought it was borked I hooked up my old ST-1000 and was using that. But when I figured the Brewpi might be...

    BrewPi Remix – What’s Old is New Again

    I may have wasted your time - apologies. But I just retested and the setup "seems" to be working despite the tab for temp control shows off. I saw that the web interface was showing "cooling for x minutes" and so I plugged a light into the cooling outlet and sure enough it came on. So the...

    BrewPi Remix – What’s Old is New Again

    I've got a Rpi orginal, and the model 1 that I'm running now - don't think I have anything newer but I'll look around. I'll see what's for sale on the interwebs as well. Don't really have anything beyond BrewPi in mind since I haven't looked into it.. BrewPi worked (works) well for my needs...

    BrewPi Remix – What’s Old is New Again

    In the event I can't get it working.. not sure there's much support anymore for the rpi #1 model and my older arduino.. that may need to be replaced if wonkers - is there a general consensus on what to replace it with? I see lots of options and at this point don't have a lot of energy to go down...

    BrewPi Remix – What’s Old is New Again

    Thanks LBussy. There is no "Reset controller to factory defaults", but there is "Load defaults" which I tried. Maybe my next step is getting the stuff out of its case and looking for any clues like loose wires or whatev.

    Thanks for your advice, I really appreciate it. I get similar messages, but the tab continues to say off.

    Thanks! I looked at Stderr and got this (although I can view the chart and whatnot): BrewPi: wifiChecker: Attempt 1 to reach 192.168.1.1 failed (Sat Jun 29 18:30:01 AKDT 2024) ping: unknown iface wlan0 BrewPi: wifiChecker: Attempt 2 to reach 192.168.1.1 failed (Sat Jun 29 18:30:17 AKDT 2024)...

    BrewPi Remix – What’s Old is New Again

    Hey hope this is an ok place to ask. I have the original (or nearly) brewpi running on a raspberrypi 1 and arduino of same vintage.. always served the purpose. Today I fired it up for a new brew and when trying to remember how to run it and clear the chart and start a new brew, I mistakenly...

    Add a Hop Bong to a 30L Speidel

    Hey agentbud, I got the lid sealed up good enough I think thanks to you. I blew on it with my lung power anyway and it held.. probably good enough for what I want. What I did was take a hand plane (woodworking tool) to the top of the Speidel and leveled it out. It was not level... dipped at the...

    Add a Hop Bong to a 30L Speidel

    Thanks much! You had a good explanation.. I just wasn't having success - maybe my opening is a tad bigger so the Speidel o-ring doesn't quite fit on top, though it does seal well with the standard Speidel lid. I can try again.. maybe wasn't careful enough.

    Add a Hop Bong to a 30L Speidel

    Based on your solution here I ordered the fermzilla lid that has a center bubbler hole and 2 male threaded posts for adapters - not the hop bong lid like yours. Is there a trick to getting it to seal? I've added the white Speidel o-ring to the fermzilla lid (under it and next to supplied thin...

    Leaking CO2 valve

    Sure would. But a lot of these outfits have a flat minimum rate. I always check by first pricing the shipping of an item in the cart, then start adding other stuff until the shipping changes and then back off. Another trick is when I travel south (not all that often) I can go for free shipping...

    Leaking CO2 valve

    Thanks for that info - but too late. I opened it up from the back. (Looks like your image). Behind that spring is a little nib that looks similar to a poppet and had a black rubber-like piece on its backside. Don't know if that is included in the rebuild kits but I did put it back together. I'll...

    Leaking CO2 valve

    No, there is not. At least fountain type stuff. There is one bar (the other burned down recently) that has draft beer - you gave me the idea to inquire with them.

    Leaking CO2 valve

    It is just fine slotted. I have nothing that fine other than a knife blade.. don't want to muck it up. But I'll see..

    Leaking CO2 valve

    @Broken Crow Thanks much - big help. I may try Aliexpress again sometime based on recommendations such as yours.. just no more shots in the dark. That link worked fine. I'm building a cruising sailboat and have a Shurflo self-priming pump for it laying around uninstalled.. I could also give that...
