My sensor corny lids:

UPDATED: I found that if I reset, or power cycled the controller between the Low and the high level calibration steps, I could calibrate the lids OK. I still never got the small yellow print on the bottom of the display indicating the calibration distance. This project is finally nearing...

Thanks Lee. My first thought was the sensor package in the lid as it had suffered quite a bit of physical handling and abuse during installation in the housing and lid. It is not epoxy sealed at the moment. However I tried the sensor package with a different 8266 Wemos mini and it works OK. I...

A project update (and plea for help!) I have been working on this for close to a year and decided it’s time to finish it. I took the breadboard sensors that I had dangling in a keg above some hop water and packaged them in a lid as in the Flite DIY documentation. Prior to encapsulating it all...

Sure. there are several variants of beer engine. I stuck with Angram as they are still in business and most bars you go into in the UK you will see the Angram logo on the front of the plinth. Parts and documentation are readily available. Beer Engines are available in 1/4 pint per pull and...

Yeah I was originally thinking of doing that, but I'm a geek and I really like the assurance I get from monitoring Temperature & Pressure per keg :) . I have the one I bought to try the system out and it works well. Damn Honeywell! I worked for them for 39 years and probably would have been...

Are there any uppdates on this project? Now the holidays are over and the winter has set it, I am looking to complete the project I started last April. I have six new corny keg lids, ESP8266, connectors, casting resin and TOF sensors. I only bought one of the Honeywell HSCMAND150PA4A3...

Love the Doom Bar - and the Jail Ale. You must be in the SouthWest. We spend a week or so a year on Dartmoor at Mary Tavy where we drink a lot of Doom Bar And the Peter Tavy Inn. Paul

Very much so. And some preferred the creaminess of the beer with the sparkler, and some without it!

Earlier this year I got an Angram CO beer engine and posted a bunch of questions regarding the connections to a corny keg setup. Yesterday we had a bunch of people over and the hand-pulled English Best Bitter was a hit. Too much of a hit in fact and we kicked the keg! If anyone hasnt...

Sold!

No, this item is still available. Paul

I’m not sure if this is your problem, but I noticed more variation when testing with plain water. I believe this was because the light pulses reflected off the water surface and also the bottom of the new, clean shiny keg. I got less variation when I threw in some old hibiscus dried flowers to...

I have a brand new, unused, check valve from RLBS in England (Model EWL). This is designed to prevent the beer flowing forward through the beer engine when there is no demand (pump not being pulled) and is essential if you are building a handpump/beer engine setup. These are difficult to come...

Hi - I have recently got an Angram Model CO handpump and refurbished it. I now have it pumping water well and I am ready to connect it to a (de-pressurized) corny keg. I will be using a 2psi aspirator valve on the gas post of the keg I am pulling the beer from. I have done a lot of reading...

Thanks to your link (and Amazon!) I got the correct part, wired it up and flashed the firmware. After a couple of false starts it works wonderfully and the instructions are excellent. Just to be clear I haven’t printed the enclosures or potted the sensors yet but they have been working well in...

An update on my project. I have two controllers running, one with the Honeywell Temperature/pressure sensor. While expensive ($55), I like the integration and it offers some safety features like the ability to see signs of impending kegerator failure or a CO2 leak. At this point I plan to...

Hi - this is a home brewery/bar and I wanted six taps that showed quite a bit of information on each beer to educate friends & family. I set up a Taplist account to try it out but it didn’t offer the flexibility I needed. In addition, the TapItGood solution was half the price ($20/year vs...

Update. I put this in an empty keg overnight with the sensor just hanging down from the lid. I do not have the 3D printed housing yet. This morning I have data! It appears that the data is updated every hour or so. Is this normal? I am not sure how the sensor works, but I am guessing that...
