    That’s exactly what I was thinking, but want some expert feedback from the BruControl crew.

    When to test the mash PH

    Whatever Bru’n Water says it should be is good enough. I used to check every batch and the info always matched or was close enuff, I don’t even check anymore.

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    Ok, so I am finally getting ready to start my BruControl build, planned to start over a year ago but life happened. I plan to start with: 1. Kegerator since one of my stc’s took a dump. 2. BIAB keggle. I plan to setup 2V with Rims a little later since I have 3 kegs total and the method I...

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    Ok so you folks are going to make me be the guinea pig, ok I’m game lol. I would like to hear if Brundog sees any reason why one of those wouldn’t work in BruControl though?

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    Good Morning Everyone, Has anyone used one of these W5500 modules instead of a shield? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076KRB7KN/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071GSRSD3/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20

    Thanks folks, I do have an extra switch I had forgotten about so it looks like that’s solved.

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    Brundog, I have a question and please forgive if it’s dumb. Is it possible to connect the BruControl host straight to lets say a Mega with the ethernet shield using a crossover cable? Reason is, my comcrap internet is on and off multiple times a day which includes very piss poor signal most of...

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    Thanks Brundog and smort, Further research after my post led me to that same conclusion and you have verified that now. The pressure sensor has to be on the analog pin and not a digital correct?

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    So Brundog, am I correct in thinking for a 0-1 volt input to a Wemos analog pin from a 0-5 volt pressure sensor would require R1=4k and R2=1k?

    Electric/Automated Brewery Dilemma

    The only thing that worries me is the scripting, I know others have stated they have no experience with scripting and picked it up easy, but from what I’ve read, it doesn’t seem like I can, maybe more details concerning the syntax for us dummies? “BruControl Scripting for ********* Part 1”?

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    I feel dumb as a board, but I think I’m see a dim light at the end in this scenario above, the wemos part I get (I think), but the relay is wireless as well and opens and closes the relief valve based on the pressure...scratch that, I didn’t read carefully enough, I think I know where I was...

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    Ok I think I’m still missing something, the way I’m picturing it is: wemos communicates temp info or whatever it may be to brucontrol, brucontrol send commands or what have you to wireless relay? But it seems there is direct comm. between the wemos and the wireless relay?

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    Would you mind explaining how, I am very intrigued here, but don’t really understand.

    Now What?!

    Lol. But doesn’t everyone say bigger is better? Once i measure it out I may or may not keep some of it and trade the rest or something?
