Bad soldering of the DS18B20s. My fiancee resoldered them after the initial issues because I suck at soldering, and they worked just fine. Same issue again today, except it was only the beer probe. Opened it up and one of the wires on the beer probe wasn't attached to the terminal on the 3.5mm...

Ignore me: it's a wiring issue. When I take the top off the project enclosure, they pop right up on Fermentrack. I'm super confused, but it's not an ESP/Fermentrack issue.

So everything was going smoothly with my ESP8266 Fermentrack setup until I hit a snag yesterday: the program stopped recognizing the OneWire beer and chamber temp probes. The probes had been working consistently for about a week with no issues. It happened for the first time yesterday morning...

What container are people using for the test in pure water, and for the easy sugar calibration? I don't have any containers that are both wide and deep enough for the iSpindel to float freely other than fermenters. It's currently sitting at 27.4 degrees in 63 degree tap water in the fermenter...

As a complete electrical novice, I was able to wire this up and get it working, so if you're looking for a minimal BoM to get going, this will work. If you're ordering parts for a Fermentrak build, I'd strongly recommend wiring it up with Thorrak's breakout boxes, as that makes for a much neater...

Does anyone happen to have some random components they'd be willing to sell me? I need 1 each of: D1 mini, BAT43, battery charger, toggle switch, and Petling bottle? Bought parts for a group order, and ended up with odd numbers of a couple of components.

ISO: a slant, some slurry, or whatever of 3739 if possible! I loved that yeast when it was a PC yeast a couple years back. Never got around to creating a yeast bank, so haven't had it since then.

Ran my Mark II dry a few times by cavitation before adding a T, and then a couple times due to BIAB rig fails, so it finally gave up the ghost. Before buying new, figured I'd check and see if there was anyone with a used Mark II they'd be interested in parting with. I'd also be interested in a...

This thread was a major help! Had a brew day the other day, and realized I was totally out of PBW for cleaning. My LHBS is about an hour away, so that was a no-go. However, between Ace for TSP/90 and a grocery store for some Oxiclean Free, it worked beautifully. Rather than mixing them in a...

Those should fit any of the fermenters I'd use them in. How much were you looking to get for them?

Honestly, because going through the lid didn't occur to me as an option. After seeing the Anvil cooling coil and the 4-hold stopper, I was just thinking about it that way. Good call though. If I go that way, I could use my existing TC fittings without needing to modify them, and probably get...

Yes, exactly: TC ferrule in the center of the bucket. I've been using the NorCal Brewing TC thermowell/blowoff combo. I have a fermentation fridge, but want to save some space in the garage, thus the interest in figuring out how to rig up TC with glycol. Here's another example of how I was...

Has anyone ever rigged up a DIY set of cooling coils for use with a glycol chiller? If so, what did you do? I had a couple of different ideas, but as someone decidedly lacking in skills or experience, I'd rather hear about what actually worked before initiating hack and slash operations. I...

https://www.homebrewtalk.com/forum/threads/native-esp8266-brewpi-firmware-wifi-brewpi-no-arduino-needed.586476/page-69#post-8711120 Has anyone built the simple, single-box version that Jeffroy posted a few months back? If so, what kind/size project box did you use?

I'm excited for this one. Just ordered the parts, and am having a buddy 3D printing the Thingiverse case. Hoping to build it this weekend.

That's good to know, thanks! The AliExpress list I put together is based on what the dude from Open Source Distilling bought, and from his videos the build appears to work. If you see something wrong on the list, please let me know and I'll fix it. For posterity, do you have links to the...

Edited the link in the post above, it appears to be working now. If you tried it and got a blank website, please try it again.

Hi folks. I'm interested in putting together some iSpindels for myself and homebrew club members. Based on the iSpindel 4.0 assembly links from Open Source Distilling (https://www.opensourcedistilling.com/ispindel-assembly), I put together a public AliExpress shopping list for all of the parts...

Bump.

I'm looking for a tap shuttle for an Intertap G2 faucet. The shuttle is part 5 in this parts diagram: https://www.aliexpress.com/i/32946553199.html. Hoping that someone has a trashed faucet they wouldn't mind parting out. I'm also looking for 3 used Intertap faucets to swap out the rest of the...
