    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    One Wire: I know you can have mutiple 1-Wire DS18B20 probe off One Pin. I know that cable lenght can limit the 1-Wire DS18B20 probes. Is it possible to use more than one PIN/Port for 1 Wire? I know they are addressed virtually.

    Maybe another one then: If you drink the next day after an excessive session, it is a problem. Double that if you start drink the next morning, time to think!

    Advice on how to enjoy homebrewing over the years without becoming an alcoholic.

    I have found that as I age, I am drinking more than I used to. I think it is somewhat a function of the small aches and pains as we pass 75. I do not get falling down drunk and since I do not drive anymore, that is not any issue. In fact, I do not get to a stumbling stage, My Dad when he...

    Doing my monthly backuo to dropbox. If you do NOT have a good backup plan, you will not be happy one day. There is an automated backup in BruControl ( to your local drive) which is great, but one day that might not be enough!
