Awesome, thanks for the tips. I was looking at aquarium pumps on Aliexpress. I use 25W magnetic pumps in my brewery that are plenty strong enough, so I think I will be able to find some lower powered ones that will do the job. The fermenters (fermzilla) I am looking at do have an insulation...

Managed to very carefully bend the HEX down lower. I did try to have the cooler up top, but I'd rather the whole thing be lower and have a bigger footprint.

Hi All, I've been fermenting in a temperature controlled fridge for about 6 years now. I've recently upgraded my brewery into a 40L (10G) 3 vessel HERMs. I often end up splitting the batch into 2 x 20L using different yeasts etc. Although I can fit 2 plastic fermenters in the fridge, I cannot...

Yeah I've been researching it a little bit and can see that the cost of a quality stainless steel welder's time is quite high. My workmate and I are (teachers in Christchurch) are always thinking about different career paths and that would be an awesome one for NZ. Considering that SS Brewtech...

Man this is awesome. I'm in NZ too and really disappointed about the lack of pressure fermenter options we have here. Sadly the SS Brewtech Chronicals are not rated for pressure. Can't get Spike here either as their options look decent. No other good stainless options really. Wishing I knew how...

Had this problem on my last brew. Mash got to 83 degrees before I checked on it (was easting breakfast!) Unfortunately I don't have the answer. I'm moving away from CBPi though. Too many issues.

Has any one ordered parts for a condenser off of Aliexpress? I'm in New Zealand so shipping makes things very cost prohibitive! Specifically looking for recommendations on a good spray nozzle and double sided TC fitting (not too concerned with what is on the top, as I can get whatever sized...

Legend worked perfectly! Thank you very much.

Is anyone able to please provide a quick run-through / installations instructions for installing RPints on Stretch? Not interested in flow meters at this stage. Can't go with Jessie as Stretch is needed. I've tried a few times but can never make it work properly. I know there is issues with the...

Tried u/kcolby's method and ended up with this. Any ideas on how to fix? Thanks. Validating Entries...Success! Checking DB connectivity... Warning: mysqli_connect(): (HY000/1698): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' in /var/www/html/install/includes/configprocessor.php on line 51 FAILED...

Thanks for that. Am using Apache2. I ended up going back and reading a few extra pages worth. Starting with a fresh install of Stretch as I am concurrently running CraftBeerPi. I got impatient and started again before I read your comment. Is the Zaepho...

I'm sure it's probably been addressed, but I've just tried to install RaspberryPints on a relatively fresh install of raspbian (also running CraftBeerPi for my fermentation fridge). Managed to install it after placing the files in /var/www/html, got to the set up stage, input my taps etc all...

Not quite as much copper as some of the other chillers here, but it'll be a whole lot better than leaving the pot in a bucket with the hose directing water around it. Still waiting for the matching hose disconnects to arrive and need to ream out the stop in a compression fitting for the...

Sorry I should have specified. I will be using one of the terragady boards that requires a 12V input and can power the pi along with the relays.

What are people using as their 12 V power supply? I assume for a RPi 3 it would need a minimum of 2.5 A.

Ahh thought so. I've got a couple extra lying around from my BrewPi setup which is convenient. Thanks.

Best way to solder on the 12/5V MP1584 module to the terragady boards? What are people using to switch their pumps? Cheaper way to go than SSRs used for the elements?
