    [Version 2 Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

    Yes I agree but Ive double checked all the wiring and Im using ethernet cable for the flow meters and power supply etc through the RJ45 jacks. Originally I had the flow meters grounded through the Pi not the Uno so I changed that awhile ago after Daytrippr advised me to do so. It doesnt miss a...

    Dextrose vs Dark malt extract in a porter

    I forgot to mention Im also adding 500 grams (1 pound) of lactose. The original recipe is this one here. https://byo.com/recipe/kissmeyer-beer-brewing-baltic-porter/ But Im actually using it as a base to try and replicate this beer below. Hence why I changed the black malt for black wheat...

    [Version 2 Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

    Ive done that twice already, brought a new SD card and Uno and started again. I dont really have any customizations other than my images and font size changes etc.. Im assuming the wiring is fine or it wouldnt work for 2-3 months when I first brought a new UNO. The current trend is buy a Uno...

    Dextrose vs Dark malt extract in a porter

    Hi brewers, Im brewing a Baltic porter and I can't decide if I should add dextrose to increase the gravity or Dark malt extract. Im loosely copying a Baltic Porter Ive recently tried where the recipe says they use dextrose but Im not sure its the best thing to add ? Any suggestions?

    [Version 2 Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

    Ok yeah good point, makes sense. But it doesnt explain why its still failing now when Ive switched to a 12V 4A power supply?

    Upgrading kegerator from 4-6 kegs

    Good questions. On one hand buying a new smaller keg king or kegland kegerator is the easiest option and I could always turn it off if I dont have any kegs in it. But building one is the fun option. Not sure about which one would cost more though. I suppose it depends on how much I can score a...

    Upgrading kegerator from 4-6 kegs

    Hi guys, I currently have a fridge/freezer kegerator that fits 4 kegs in it and I use the freezer section for hops. I am wanting to upgrade to 6 kegs but not sure if I should build a new kegerator with a chest freezer that fits 6 kegs or just buy a small kegerator that fits 2-3 more kegs and sit...

    [Version 2 Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

    But Ive been using a 9v 400ma power supply on this one. And why do they work fine for a day then fail again? Ive put the original back into use and its working fine once I upload the sketch etc then the next day it fails. Im wondering if its worth buying another Uno and keep it running with my...

    Cellarmix vs multimix gas difference

    According to Kegland you can fill the cylinders with Co2 or Nitro so I assume also a blend. But yes an adaptor of some sort is what I need. I don't know where you an get one form though. https://www.kegland.com.au/450gram-sodastream-compatible-refillable-gas-cylinder-for-co2-or-nitrogen.html

    Cellarmix vs multimix gas difference

    From what I can gather most cellar mixes come with the type 50 fitting so I would need to get this stem here to put onto my regulator. https://www.kegland.com.au/nitrogen-regulator-fitting-for-large-n2-tanks-1-4inch-npt-to-type-50-nut-and-stem.html The problem being I wouldn't be able to...

    Cellarmix vs multimix gas difference

    Ok so if I can score a cylinder thats got a reasonable test date I can just get it refilled? So the regulator you use on the 70/30 is a type 50stem yeah? The 60/40 bottle is $41.88 plus about $20 for rental for a month. I have a spare regulator So I suppose I could always just get one, test it...

    Cellarmix vs multimix gas difference

    So you had to get a type 50 stem for your regulator to run the 70/30? Are you paying rental on your bottle? I wanted to go with 60/40 as the guy at BOC told me it uses a standard Co2 stem on the regulator. Then I wanted to use my soda stream adaptor to transfer the gas into a couple of soda...

    Cellarmix vs multimix gas difference

    Does anyone know the difference between multimix gas that is 70% nitro and 30% co2 and cellarmix gas which is 60% nitro and 40% co2? I know stout is usually served on 70% nitro but the cellarmix uses a standard regulator so I dont need to change over the regulator stem to a type 50? This is...

    [Version 2 Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

    Well I wish it was the same with my situation with my Unos. I brought a second one thinking that might fix it and its still no good and now the first one works anyway once I re-upload the sketch and reset the uno. Must be a reason why its dropping out though.
