FWIW, I have several Elegoo clone Megas in my brew system and they have all worked flawlessly with BruControl. For $16/ea., I have a couple of spares on hand ready to swap out and save a brew day should it come to that at some point. Elegoo Arduino Mega clones

Yup! That's what it's doing, actually! Once filled to a predetermined amount, it calculates the final volume from the HLT's pressure transducer and uses Pete's looping code that he shared a few posts back to increment a time value to the same amount of seconds as I calculate with Pump Rate /...

Yeah, that's pretty much what I was running into, so that one isn't attached any longer. Just came back in from several rounds of testing various volumes of water with the flowrate-based pump timer in place and it is actually working really well! May still throw a flow meter in there in case I...

Ooh, I like that... New plan C. :) I think I had mentally blocked that as an option b/c I had put flow meters on my reverse osmosis system's "clean" and "waste" water lines and had nothing but trouble with them... I had kind of forgotten about them though... They were originally going to...

Thx Oak, I definitely could have solved this by using a global element and manually calculating. My system knows (sort of) the volume of the HLT and the flow rate of my pump, so I was going to experiment with seeing how close I could time things to get the pump to drain the HLT and shut off...

The loop/timer concept worked perfectly... Thank you sir!

Hi, is it possible to pass a variable to the sleep command? Long story, but I have a need to dynamically calculate a time value to run one of my pumps. The scaled down test script below never goes past the "sleep waitTime" line. If that isn't possible can I dynamically set a timer value by...

Interesting.... and here I thought I had never done a lager before. :)

Sure enough, good eye... I didn't look at my own picture close enough... I sure didn't see that when I was looking at the package itself. Seeing that, it's odd to me that the wort I dumped from the outer pack was so clear and the inner pack so yeasty. Would have thought both inside and...

Correct, PurePitch, not smack packs. I had watched the video above before I opened them is the reason I opened/described it that way. It didn't appear breached, but I can't be certain. There was pretty much no wort in the inner package where the yeast in the pic is, but there was also no...

Getting back into homebrew (yay!) and picked up a couple of packs of WLP029. Last time I brewed, White Labs shipped in test tubes, so this fanciness was new to me. Need a big starter, so I am using them both. Shook them a bit and noticed they behaved differently. I carefully cut the very tip...

Thanks Spike!

In! Thank you SS Brewing Tech!

Just Right Oatmeal Stout partial extract would be swell!

Thanks for the replies! I was coming back to say that writing the original thread here must have jostled some brain cells because right after I wrote it I found THESE stainless caps on Grainger. BigBlock, I love that idea, but if my math is right, those are the same diameter as my tubes so...

Hi all, I am in the process of making some stainless temp probes with DS18B20 sensors, the 1/4" stainless thermowells from Brewer's Hardware, and some Ethernet cable as suggested by Dallas. I found that 5mm OD Ethernet cable fits like a glove inside these thermowells, and was pretty happy...

In! Thanks guys!

Yes please!

Can we pretend I didn't ask this question? :) I just hit the O2 valve threads with a wire brush and then wrapped it with teflon tape for some lubricant and it seated fully this time. What felt "relatively snugly" on the nut before wasn't even close. I haven't even been drinking today...

Hmm. So on mine, when I tighten the threads (relatively snugly with a wrench) there is almost 1/4" of "play" still that I can slide the regulator towards and away from the tank... The regulator just dangles there loosely at that point. Even if I wrapped the threads, the O2 would just blast...
