Usually wider swings are 1) Your ferm chamber isnt sealed, my door sometimes opens on its own ... 2) Your probe if in a thermowell may have been pulled out slightly so its measuring the air more than the beer and throwing brewpi off.

Strong 4 year bump. Lol i dont deserve any credit, Elkoe and those that put the time into the software deserve all the credit. All i did was document a way of building it cheap to evangelize using it over the then(and still now sort of) standard STC1000 build everyone was doing.

1) Not sure, i dont use Wifi 2) Most people leave them the same, they shouldnt need to be adjusted. 3) There is work being done by user Ame here on HBT(and im trying to help!) to get a RPI only BrewPi up and running. Its close but a lot of testing is required and that just takes time...

In this case because there's space shouldnt he just put properly crimped ring/spade terminals on these connections and screw down on those and call it a day? I made sure that there were no connections in my entire setup that weren't using crimped connectors for this very reason, properly...

This is possible, but its also incredibly simple and cheap to fix. Undo the clamps holding the existing Sanke(probably) connector, hook a gas line ball keg connector to the gas line, and beer line ball keg connector to the beer tap, screw the clamps back down and your in business for probably...

You need to actually look at the pictures. They are not "dual" regulators. For some stupid reason(probably to trick people like you) some companies count the tank meter, which doesnt matter. They arent dual regulators, they are listed as dual GAUGE regulators. A true dual regulator would...

Are you sure your resistor or something didnt get disconnected or anything? If you used a new resistor are you sure you used 4.7k?

In the future when this happens its generally because theres something(or nothing) programmed onto the chip itself. Usually opening your arduino in the Arduino IDE for Windows, opening the default "Blank" sketch and uploading that to your Arduino will fix that problem. A lot of the cheap...

True, now that i think about it, the config.cfg must be overrides and you can edit it in the defaults.cfg as long as you dont also have a different setting in the config.cfg that would override it. The config.cfg isnt really used in Wheezy but is in Jessie to override the default www path.

Go into your /home/brewpi/settings folder and edit the config.cfg file with sudo nano config.cfg Add the following line port = /dev/ttyUSB0 and save the file I think that should fix it if it really is using TTYUSB0 for some reason, you can also edit the defaults.cfg file to use that instead...

LWD 5500W ripple Elements do exist, i wouldnt consider it an oversight. Its made by Demord, who as far as i can tell are just a mass producer in China who sell on Alibaba to other retailers . They have no website i can find.

Cereal killer, $40 High Torque drill from Harbor freight.

You should be fine, the only difference is when it installs the website it has to go into /var/www/html now instead of /var/www, the install.sh script you will run should auto detect and default to this new path. The only thing ive found that WONT is the very last command you run to run the...

We're gettin there but yea its probably weeks and weeks away at this point. The Arduino just adds a small extra cost that you can later refactor out of your solution if you do want to move to the RPI only mode.

To be clear when i say towel i mean a dish towel/wash cloth, not paper towels. I agree paper towels wouldnt do much of anything. A wet wash cloth has more than enough 'abrasiveness' to get anything ive ever had in 3+ years off.

Did the gasket inside fall out? Or move? Try taking the gasket out and see if the arms move...you may just need a new one for some reason? Luckily they are pretty cheap.

Yes you will be able to use all the same items, minus the Arduino. If your just building a single chamber setup, the Arduino isnt a big deal, its when you start having 2,3,4 chambers while possible with BrewPi all the setup can be a bit of a pain.

Just fill your pot up with the false bottom in it until its right at the false bottom height, pour it out into a bucket or some other measuring device and always add that much water to your mash in volume that your tools give you. If it says to add 5 gallons, i add 7. I stick with 1.25qt/# and...

Having both, i use SBE for my brewery hlt/mash/boil controls and BrewPi for fermentation works great. Dont get me wrong SBE is the ****, but i'd still use a BrewPi over it for Fermentation control. That may change at some point since SBE is still developing, but BrewPi does everything i could...
