    Adding TC Bottom Drain

    I’ve added 4-5 TCs and 10+ 1/2 NPT fittings to various pots with pull through fittings from brewhardware.com @Bobby_M has great videos showing how to do this.

    SS Brewtech Unitank VS Spike Unitank

    This is on the SS Unitank? Do you know exactly where the thermowell sits? 4.5, 4 etc.

    SS Brewtech Unitank VS Spike Unitank

    At what liquid level does the thermowell sit? i.e. @ the 5G mark or lower. Basically what’s the minimum about of liquid is needed to have the thermowell submerged?

    SS Brewtech Unitank VS Spike Unitank

    Sorry to strum this older post up, but not sure I fully agree with or understand the ability to do 5G batches. I have tried using this for other fermentation of ciders etc. one of the things I don’t like is the thermowell as you mentioned is at ~5.5 G level. This makes it really not feasible to...

    How much whole coffee bean in a coffee/vanilla porter?

    I am interested in the contraption you put together for this. DM if that is off topic. Thank you.

    Spike Fermenter users... Lil help?

    FWIW - I have a CF10 and if you do drain off yeast or trub (I have a sight glass), the racking arm is not very long. So what happens is I end up leaving beer behind because the raking arm won't reach the bottom of the fermenter. I know it is clear all the way to the bottom because I can see...

    California Spike CF5 Trade for Flex Plus

    Would you be open to shipping? If so, drop me a PM. We could compare accessories or just bare bone kettle trade.

    [Version 2 Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

    That fixed it. Thanks! Changing the default date/time format in MySQL is beyond my abilities :)

    [Version 2 Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

    Looked through the forum and can't find how to change the date/time format. Also, how do you remove what I assume is the identifier for the temp probe?

    Sold Spike CF5

    I have an 'arrangement' through work and I would not actually pay shipping :)

    [Version 2 Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

    Can you tell me how you did this? I may use this as a workaround until @RandR+ finds a solution for the Uno 'locking up'

    [Version 2 Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

    What else needs to be setup other than keg tare (empty) weight and beer gravity? I am just entering the full weight on the kegs page (Current Weight(lb): (not < Empty Weight))

    [Version 2 Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

    Just a general question to when you are inventorying your kegs with actual tare weights. When I add a beer to the keg and I have specified a SG for the beer, and I weigh the keg after filling, is RPints calculating the volume for me (beer weight (accounting for SG of beer) + keg tare weight)...

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

    I am running a glycol setup and was curious if there are any suggestions to tighten up the temperature swings I am seeing (62 --> 63.8 so almost a 2 degree swing). My fermenters have insulated jackets as well. I am fermenting an ale and crashing a mead currently. I do not have the luxury of...

    [Version 2 Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

    So that seems to be part of the issue. When the R3 'freezes up' and the Tx/Rx lights are steady, that number also stops. Since you are seeing the same issues locally, does that mean you may be looking for a solution? Thank you for everything so far.

    [Version 2 Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

    I have 5 taps, but only 4 physical meters. I will be expanding to another meter soon, but for now I was entering manual pours or manually weighing the 5th keg on tap so that I had all the beers displaying on the frontend. Is that a problem to have one or more 'manual' taps with no flowmeters?

    [Version 2 Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

    Restarting via the UI does not work, but running the command sudo /etc/init.d/flowmon restart, did get things going again. Which is how I was getting around this was to restart the RP before I make a pour IF the Tx/Rx lights were on steady. It seems every time the R3 is reflashed it gets...

    [Version 2 Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

    I have been using a separate power supply for the Uno since day 1. I am now on my 6th USB cable and things will work for a few hours (Tx/Rx lights flashing) and then the lights are just on solid and no pours will register. I have tried swapping and using all 4 USB ports on the RP as well...
