    Can you actually *buy* a Raspberry Pi these days?

    If you live near a microcenter store they get stock in every week. In the last month I purchased 2x pi zero W ($15usd), and a pi 4b 4gb ($55usd). My local microcenter has a ton of pi zero W that haven't sold out and the pi 4b will sell out same day. If you check their website in the morning you...

    A simple digital Taplist solution

    Has anyone tried to run this on cheap hardware like a raspi zero w? My local micro center has a ton of pi zero W for $15 but raspi 4b are $55 and hard to get. Also the raspi zero W uses verry little power and might be able to run it off a usb port on the TV.

    BrewPi Remix – What’s Old is New Again

    Any tips on how to get better temperature control? Right now I'm just running a empty chest freezer for testing set to 68*f. Is the pid control optimized for the thermal mass of liquid (how many gallons)? When the 5cu ft freezer runs it brings the temp down to about 60*f then takes 3+ hr to get...

    I can finally dry hop successfully.

    I'm going to try one of these with a corny keg https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805162996645.html and use the keglang hop bong. I'm gong to have to measure my keezer to see if it will fit or have to build a collar to raise it up. I got the 2" hop bong so pellets don't get stuck. Cornykeg =...

    BrewPi Remix – What’s Old is New Again

    If you live near a Microcenter store they get raspi shipments every week. I checked the website a few days in a row during the week and saw they got a shipment of about 50 raspi 4b 4gb at my local microcenter, limit one per person. When I got to the store there was still a ton left, I checked...

    Native ESP8266 BrewPi Firmware - WiFi BrewPi, no Arduino needed!

    I just did a d32 pro build and it's cheaper to order one board from Tindie than 5? boards from OSHpark. Not sure about shipping to au. Also if you order from Tindie you get the surface mount components pre-soldered, with OSHpark you would have to source the components and solder them yourself...

    Native ESP8266 BrewPi Firmware - WiFi BrewPi, no Arduino needed!

    Is there anyway to get the temp to show in F instead of C on brewpi esp? I'm running a d32 pro with the 20x2 LCD screen. I tried going to /testcmd.htm and /testcmd.html and couldn't access anything to send JSON commands. I was hoping to apply j{"tempFormat":"F"} Do I have to worry about the...

    Fermentrack: Fermentation monitoring & BrewPi-www Replacement for Raspberry Pi

    Thanks for all your hard work, this all truly amazing to be open source. I managed to get the temp sensors working. I finally got everything hooked up and ready to test it out. So far I can't get my relays to switch on when testing in cooling mode. Will have to troubleshoot it tomorrow. Edit...

    Fermentrack: Fermentation monitoring & BrewPi-www Replacement for Raspberry Pi

    I put together my brewpi-esp with a d32 pro and pcb from tindie. I can't figure out how to get my temp sensors working, I checked all my solder joints multiple times. The voltage on the esp32 board rj45 pinout was 0v but goes to about 1v when I plug in the ethernet cable to the sensor board. I...

    Chest Freezer Specs and Layouts

    Thanks for the info, I got lucky and found one in great condition on craigslist. I was able to fit 2x 5gal ball lock kegs and a 5lb co2 with regulator. The freezer is very light weight and easy to move around.

    Robobrew/Brewzilla Discussion

    I recently got a 35L digimash, I also have an anvil pump. If I hook up the pump to the digimash is it essentially a robobrew? Can I use the robobrew equipment profile in brewfather?

    Chest Freezer Specs and Layouts

    If you look at the 4th pic on the home depot site, it appears like it doesn't have a hump. Is that possible? maybe the whole interior is on top of the compressor? Ideally I would like to find the smallest chest freezer than can fit 2x 5gal keg and and I can run the co2 from a tank outside. I...

    The San Diego area thread

    bought a 6 pack of “hazy” sculpin IPA, hated it. It was like they combined the worst aspects of a west coast ipa with a NEIPA. It was this dark lightly hazy bitter beer that lacked the soft mouthfeel and juiciness of a typical hazy ipa. Seems like everyone wants to slap hazy on their product but...

    how many times can i repitch yeast

    No practical idea but from my lab experience with passaging cells (bacteria and yeast) after about 10 passages the cells tend to change genetics and are different than the initial cell line. Could be a good thing or a bad thing.
