    Help With Wiring of AC Side of BrewPi?

    Thank you, using your notes, got it to cooperate! Yeah, using the ground and neutral wires on the relay was sloppy. I was just trying to get it cooperate for proof-of-concept before putting it in a case, and since I had the ground/neutral wire from cutting the live, just grabbed that. I've...

    Help With Wiring of AC Side of BrewPi?

    I'm trying to wire up a BrewPi to use with Fermentrack using this wiring diagram from 100amp: Native ESP8266 BrewPi Firmware - WiFi BrewPi, no Arduino needed!. I'm running into an issue where it appears that the heating and cooling relays won't open. When I set the beer constant in Fermentrack...

    Wanted 1 iSpindel PCB

    Looking for a single iSpindel PCB that fits in the XL petling. Preferably a Jeffrey 2.69 or 2.1, but the CherryPhillips 4.0 board would be great too.

    iSpindle - DIY Electronic Hydrometer

    Has anyone had an issue where the ESP8266 won't turn on using the battery? It will charge the battery (red LED when charging, blue when complete, not doing the red light on but blue light blinking no battery thing), and will turn on when connected to USB (ESP LED blinks, the 'gravitymon' AP...

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

    Is there a way to change the port in the non-Docker Fermentrack installation? Trying to get Fermentrack set up on my 3a+, and the Docker installation doesn't seem to want to cooperate. When I run the semi-automated non_docker script, it installs fine, but doesn't give me the option to change the...

    Replacement firmware for iSpindel (GravityMon)

    Ignore, answered my own question: per the GravityMon docs, newer (ESP32) chips don't have a diode that needs to be removed. Also, thanks for adding support for the Floaty!

    iSpindle - DIY Electronic Hydrometer

    Does anyone happen to have a single CherryPhilips or Jeffrey PCB I could buy off of them? I have all the parts to assemble another one except the PCB, and don't want to pay for 3 PCBs + shipping from OshPark.

    [Version 2 Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

    Would the attached work for running two flow meters on an Arduino R3, with the RandR version? I couldn't find any wiring diagrams that laid out how to set them up on an Uno, could only find the descriptions for getting them set up on the Alamode board. The goal is to eventually run 4 or 5, but...

    Integrating Floaty Hydrometer With Fermentrack?

    Is it possible to integrate a Floaty digital hydrometer with Fermentrack? I didn't see anything in the Fermentrack FAQ about it, and am not personally code savvy, so wouldn't be able to put it together myself. It pushes to an an Android app or to BrewFather natively, but wasn't sure if there was...

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

    Does anyone happen to have 3 (or any really) of the Through Hole w/LCD and Dupont - No RJ45 Thorrak PCBs? These guys: thorrak_hardware/D1 - LCD TH Dupont NoRJ.md at master · thorrak/thorrak_hardware If so, can I buy them from you? Happy to order from OshPark, but figured I'd check to see if...

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

    A question for folks: has anyone had an issue where either or both of the relays will continue engaging, even when the controller is supposed to be idling? Assuming it must be a wiring issue, because I can only get the relays to engage when they're set up as "not inverted" in Fermentrack. I...

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

    Deleted, resolved my own issue. Make sure relays are inverted. I couldn't get them cooperate inverted initially, so set them as not inverted, but they're happy inverted now.

    Metzen's Mini Fridge Glycol Chiller Conversion

    Just built this up using an old GE mini-fridge. Does anyone have suggestions about reducing load on the compressor when trying to bring a fermenter down to pitch temp? I knocked out at 88F today. Would running a fan over the compressor to keep it cooler help? I'm setting the glycol solution (2/3...

    Need Some Advice for a Stand for 4 Small-Format Barrels

    Does anyone have a plan for a stand for a couple of barrels? I currently have 4 small format barrels (1 5G, 10G, 1 15G) sitting on 2 furniture dollies. I'd like to rig up something that would take up a bit less horizontal space, preferably where I'd still be able to rack out of the barrels with...

    In praise of the Inkbird IPB-16S

    I'm a huge fan of my Inkbird PIDs. I have an IPB -16S that runs great with a 1650W element and a steam condenser, and a 100-VH that works great for 220V.

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

    I feel like it's mentioned elsewhere in this thread (and in other different BrewPi threads), but if your cooling and heating relays aren't engaging, try switching their settings from inverted to not inverted. Mine weren't cooperating and it was driving me crazy because my wiring looked okay...
