So I think I figured it out. Under installed devices, there are 6 available spots. Two are temp probes, and four are open. One should be assigned to the heater, and one to the freezer. Two slots ended up getting assigned to the heater. I guess I accidentally assigned it twice, but didn't notice...

I'll try again when I get home tonight, but when I tried last week with the old relay, or earlier this week with the new relay, dropping the temp to trigger the cooling mode made the LCD indicate cooling was active, but no LED would ignite on the relay, and power wouldn't be flowing. But I'll...

Sorry for the confusion. Yes. When I switched the cooling to "not inverted" the LED on one side lit on and the power started flowing to the freezer outlet. Same as with the freezer outlet. When I switched the heat to "not inverted" the LED on the other side lit on and the power started flowing...

- is the script running and all of your devices (probes and relays) installed via Device manager? Yes. - do you have the relay module connected to 5V, GND, and GPIO 5 & 6 (for Cooling and Heating, respectively)? Yes. - if your relay module has a 3 pin header with the pins labeled something...

@day_trippr both the Chamber Heat and Chamber Cooler are set to inverted. Any other ideas?

I'm hoping someone can help me get my Brewpi remix working. I got all the hardware listed here: https://www.brewpiremix.com/brewpi-hardware/ I wired everything according to this...

There is a bunch of competition nation wide in the gourmet burger scene. RR is doing their best to remain competitive in the marketplace. Part of that involves targeting a slightly younger crowd then they used to. The slightly younger crowd (low 30's probably) prefer electronic, quick...

There is no such thing as "wildflower" honey. It's just a descriptor that means that it isn't from one predominant floral source. Wildflower honey from Florida is different than wildflower honey from PA, or CA, because the nectar sources are different. Wildflower in my area from March will be...

No worries @iancl Thanks for the contribution.

I contacted Spike to ask. Their response was that they are going to offer a Black Friday deal, but it won't be on their conicals (and they couldn't tell me more than that). Personally, I chose to sit out and wait to see what it is. End of October last year I was in the market for a custom Spike...

It's main advantage is in recirculating. By having the sides solid, the hot liquid flows from the top, through the grains, into the bottom. If the sides were mesh, you'll have some hot liquid flow from the top and straight through the sides, not keeping an even temp in the grain bed. Reduced...

Thanks for sharing @SEndorf My point was more that every other mason jar "bomb" that I've heard of did NOT result in a repeatable failure at the ring. The failure resulted in a shrapnel of glass flying everywhere. Part of the difference may depend on whether there was liquid in the jar or not...

What test are you referring to, and can you share it? While I'm sure some jars can withstand 30+ PSI before failing, I doubt ALL jars can. Defects occur. I don't know how often. Although I imagine problems are more likely to occur in shipping. A slight crack in a jar and you have a failure...

Lol, sure was surprised. That seems to completely solve my concerns. I should have figured the folks at Nor Cal would have already solved that. Thanks for confirming my thoughts.

It looks like the only difference between the cf5 and cf10 that would impact that would be the "Racking Arm Low Vol (gal)" variable, which cf5 shows 0.1 gal and cf10 shows 0.3 gal. I'm assuming that isn't counting any 90 degree elbow, which makes sense. The other variables are dump volumes...

I imagine the losses between the cf5, cf10 and cf15 would be fairly similar. Just assuming, but most of the loss comes from dumps, which should be the same volume regardless of the conical size, no? So roughly 2.5 liters lost, or a little over a half a gallon. So if 5.5 gal went into a cf5...

How much in volume losses do you typically get when using a cf? - yeast dump - hop dump (if at all) - whatever's left in the bottom of the cone after you pull with a racking arm I know it varies from batch to batch, and person to person, but just wondering what everyone's starting volume is...

That is incredibly condescending to assume that if you only brew 5 gallon batches you must be brewing bad beer. You know absolutely nothing about me, or any of the hundreds of thousands of brewers that only brew 5 gallon batches, and especially not enough to jump to a conclusion and assumption...

I picked up a 15g kettle from Spike to do eBIAB on the off chance I'd do a 10g batch in the future. 13 months later and a 10g batch hasn't even crossed my mind, and I wish I could have done some 2.5g batches in there (the heating element and temp probe are too high up to do such a small batch)...

Old thread, but hopefully not a dead thread. A few questions for those that have gone with the Spike: 1. I rarely see anyone mention they picked up the cf5, instead mentioning they went with the cf10 or cf15. Is there a reason, other than wanting to do 10 gallon batches? I have never in 15...
