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

    Yes by taking out the gravity sensor temp from the graph it goes back to 10 degree intervals Thanks for the temporary fix. Does this have something to do with the tilt. Can I reset the tilt or something to clear the outlier temp?

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

    I have been using fermentrack for a few beer now. I received and installed a Tilt Hydrometer. Since doing this the temperature axis now reads in 100 f intervals. Before installing the tilt my set interval was 5 F It is very difficult to pinch/expand on my phone to get a more precise reading. How...

    TiltBridge - Tilt-to-WiFi Device for Tilt Hydrometer

    There is a video tutorial on the tilt website showing how to do multi point calibration. Basically you just make a sugar/water mix to the gravity you want and then enter those numbers into the tilt app. Did you use the same brand of controller the second go around and which controller did you...

    TiltBridge - Tilt-to-WiFi Device for Tilt Hydrometer

    TiltBridge - Tilt-to-WiFi Device for Tilt Hydrometer

    Being a novice I was unsure how to go about flashing the new device. I thought there was an instruction that said to unplug other devices to keep from flashing them incorrectly. I guess I need to re-flash my uno to get it up and running again then try flashing the ESP32 with the uno still...

    Anyone have experience with “San Step NS” sanitizer?

    I recently purchased a bottle of the San Step. I was interested in using it in my automated bottle washer. The two big concerns I had were the need to let it air dry and contact time of 2 minutes. With Star San I can usually just put a gallon in my carboy shake it for 30 seconds and I am good...
