    Supercharging a natural gas BG14 burner

    JonW, I appreciate your points here. It has me reversing my thinking about trying the air gun test at least to see if I get more from the same, but I think I will try my optimization first, then test. I am curious, do you evaluate the design of the burners (link posted in #67) I bought to be the...

    Supercharging a natural gas BG14 burner

    Thank you Hockeyman for drawing attention to the issues of adequate gas supply and safety concerns that accompany "supercharging" a burner. I have these burners with these valves. They are reported to be designed for low pressure. They are 10" diameter and supposed to deliver 60,0000 BTUs at...

    Supercharging a natural gas BG14 burner

    Thanks JonW! I am looking to set up my boil kettle and my HLT as well, so it is great to learn that your experience led you to the same conclusion. I am even thinking of setting up my mash tun too, to speed heating the water for dough in, after which I keep temp via a HERMs set up. Thoughts...

    Supercharging a natural gas BG14 burner

    The thread has been quiet for a while, so I would like to ask if some of the last posters have any additional information or data to share? My stand is now complete and has brewed several batches, which I wanted to do before taking on the NG burner BTU output issue. Now I am ready. From what I...

    [Version 2 Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

    Okay, so I still welcome responses to my first question, and my second for that matter, but I wanted to provide an update. Thinking of other things I could test/try, I switched out the motion sensor and DuPont wires for my spare and new ones, respectively - no effect. I inspected my autostart...

    [Version 2 Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

    Thanks to all those who have worked so hard and collaboratively to get newbies like me up and running. So, I am running Pints on a RPi 3, with a UNO to monitor my DIGITEN flow meters. I've added the HC SR501 PIR motion sensor for the screen saver. All was working great, but if it still were I...

    Yeast with high abv beer

    All grain? What was your mash temp? Yeast prep? I've been using this yeast for an "imperial Brown" and have had some trouble hitting predicted FG, in spite of making a starter, oxygenating both my starter and my wort. Insights would be welcome.

    [Version 2 Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

    [Version 2 Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

    Ah! It was the keg column selection that was NOT done. Now it is showing, and responding to the flow monitor when I blow through it by updating a loss of volume and a corresponding new balance. Curiously, the updating of the RP page while running "sudo python /var/ etc." was because the...

    [Version 2 Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

    So, I tried this again with my browser window open and I NO LONGER see the following: There are no windows in the stack Invalid window '%1' Usage: windowactivate [options] [window=%1] --sync - only exit once the window is active (is visible + active) If no window is given, %1 is used. See WINDOW...

    [Version 2 Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

    I am not using the Swissflow, but am using these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B018U5ROV4/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 I have made the file adjustments to reflect the tick count noted for these meters. I did not have my browser window open, thanks. See next post for outcome.

    [Version 2 Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

    Hi All, Like many before me, I'm at am impasse and I'm coming to all of you for help. Initially, I set up Raspberry Pints without the flow meters, reasoning I could figure out the difference between the two installs when the time came and add what was needed. So, I'm now at that point, and...

    [Version 2 Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

    Which 1/2" meters did you end up going with, and how have you found them to be? I just got a set of 3/8" DIGITEN meters that I am hoping will work well for me.

    [Version 2 Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

    Ok, now I'm intrigued. I'm just getting started on setting up Raspberry Pints, and I am started well out of my depth. I can follow directions well, but trying either the UNO clone or the wemos would require some direction. I'm happy to re-read what has already been hashed out, if someone can...

    [Version 2 Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

    I'm wondering how it worked to link your flow meters in to RaspberryPi using the Arduberry shield. Can you share your experience?
