    "Single" vessel fermentation and serve with pressure option

    I'm on my 2nd batch of fermenting in corny kegs. First was a cream ale, and currently just finished a Belgian Tripel. I brew 10 gal at a time and have the 2 Fermentation corny keg gas ports Tee'd together and connected to the beer port on a 3rd "buffer" keg. The Blow-Tie is connected to the gas...

    First pressure fermenting - how to measure final gravity?

    I didn't think about this before deciding to pressure ferment in kegs.... I have both a refractometer and hydrometer. Can I use either one of those to get an accurate FG reading after pressure fermenting is complete? The Blow-Tie is currently reading about 10psi and I've been fermenting a...

    How Many Gallons Brewed in 2023

    Totally my fault. I used the first number I saw, not the sum. Hey, I went to public school - that's my excuse.

    Keg Cop: Keg Monitoring and Control

    Looking on Github for the cases. Is there supposed to be a bottom of the Daisy Chain board? I see 9 different tops but no bottom.

    CraftBeerPi - Raspberry Pi Software

    I can ping the Internet from my Pi. Is there some config or setting in CBPi3 that I can fix to get the addons to show? pi@brewery:~ $ ping web.craftbeerpi.com PING manuel83.github.io (185.199.108.153) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from cdn-185-199-108-153.github.com (185.199.108.153)...

    CraftBeerPi - Raspberry Pi Software

    Yes, I'm using an old version of CraftbeerPI. The controller crashed as I was starting to heat water for mashing. I don't have time to learn and set-up CBPi4. But it's been so long ago when I initially set up CBPi3, I don't remember if there was a trick to getting the addons to show up. Any...

    CraftBeerPi - Raspberry Pi Software

    I had to re-install CraftbeerPi3. I think I had a bad SD Card. Now the Add-on page is blank. I've searched but don't see a way to get the addons to show up. Any suggestions?

    Haven't brewed in a while - Craftbeerpi3 controller quit working. Going to try CBPi4. Why does stuff break???

    Just a rant for my sanity... It's been quite a while since I've brewed. Why is it that beer equipment quits working when not being used. It's like clothes shrinking while being on a hanger for a long time. How does that happen? Getting ready to brew today and my long-time headless Craftbeerpi3...

    Belgian Tripel Belgian Trippel (2006 World Beer Cup Gold Medal: Dragonmead Final Absolution clone)

    Sorry to bring up an old thread - hoping for a second opinion or confirmation of my fermenting plans... I'm going to brew this beer next. Going to make 10 gallons and ferment under pressure in 2 corny kegs. I plan on buying 2 packs of Wyeast 3787 and make a starter from each (I have two 2-liter...

    Controlling a glycol chiller

    BrewPiLess, CraftbeerPi3, Fermentrack or many other controllers are out there that do a fermentation profile. Not that it'll help you out immediately, but I have some BrewPiLess controllers available. They'd need a little more work for your setup, but would work fine and have scheduled temp...

    Keg Cop: Keg Monitoring and Control

    Putting a half-filled keg of water and the keg temp probe on it with a bungee and half a foam pool noodle over it does reduce the number of cycles per hour. It comes on about 6x per hour now instead of 3x per hour when using BrewPiLess or CraftbeerPi3. Is this too frequent and for too short of...

    Keg Cop: Keg Monitoring and Control

    There is nothing in the kegerator right now. When running BrewPiLess-32 controlling the Kegerator the past couple weeks (again, nothing in the Kegerator), it operated what I consider normally and how I've seen it run the past 4 years whether anything was in the kegerator or not (similar...

    Keg Cop: Keg Monitoring and Control

    I have both Keg Cop and BrewPiLess-32 running. Keg Cop is controlling the Kegerator and BrewPiLess is only monitoring temps, since it'll log as long as the web page is open. I also have Keg Cop sending data to Home Assistant via mqtt. I won't keep the Keg Cop web GUI loaded in a browser and see...

    Keg Cop: Keg Monitoring and Control

    Well, Keg Cop is running with 4 temp sensors connected, I just don't have a solenoid connected and it actually controlling the Kegerator. I'm checking it's running stability only. I can easily switch the Kegerator over from BrewPiLess to Keg Cop, but thought I'd just let it simmer on its own to...

    Keg Cop: Keg Monitoring and Control

    I've had the ESP_RST_PANIC happen a few times. It happens when I wait many hours with no browser connected, not pinging the ESP - just letting it do its thing....but later open a tab on the browser and simply load the main webpage. It'll timeout once, not loading the webpage. It must then reboot...

    Keg Cop: Keg Monitoring and Control

    Almost 4 hours later, I tried the Keg Cop web page again and had a problem. It wouldn't load right away. After it did, saw it rebooted. I didn't have it powered by PC and didn't have serial monitor running. Uptime: Days: 0, Hours: 0, Minutes: 0, Seconds: 36 Reset Reason: Reason...
