    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    I wire it like this. I have 24 v LEDs (We use 24 v to operate the valves, 12 v is plenty) )that also light up when they valve is commanded. This is simply a power light and does not indicate open or closed. You need 5 wire for that but because they (5 wire)are reverse polarity, they are a...

    The program side is fairly stable ( although we are all waiting for the release of version 2). I oersonally use the Mega and those are still available. You are somewhat dependent on some items from BruControl although if you know what you are doing, you could do the circuits yourself...

    That’s what I thought. Also see that regarding dry hopping. I can see how that is an advantage in that the conversion to YOUR units is already done. I have finally gotten a handle on how the API interfaces with Node Red .

    Node Red Gurus! In Node Red Flow for the BeerSmithXML Flow to transfer data to BruControl, there are a couple of fields that I wonder why. I obtained the flow (thanks @RiverCityBrewer ) years ago. I was looking into it and cleaning some things up and adding some thing that I want. For...

    It works fine in BruControl but when exporting to a global string element value it produces a flat file with the \n in one of the cells. The flat file is a comma separated type with a comma delimiter but no line feed. I have tried various ALT + 13 and ALT + 13 and tried to embed those, but...

    "True" Sparge Volume.

    I was working in BruControl and using some of the 'Rule of Thumb" to calculate my Sparge Volume, but soon realized that the "rules" were too loose and did not take into account "grain volume" when you have a "heavy high OG" beer. I was also adding this calculation in BruControl and realized...
