I've been wondering the same, but haven't seen much about it. I have the BrewBuilt X3, and agree that the hop bongs seems a bit over the top, when you have a collection jar with similar abilities. The conical is new, so haven't played around with it much.

Thank you both @LBussy & @day_trippr!! I replaced both the wires from 5 & 6 to the relay and that resolved the problem. The wires didn't look damaged, but I was going to try anything. It has now perfectly maintained my set temp and fermentation is better for it. I'll play around with my Tilt...

Ok, will do. Just to confirm, I'll disconnect the wires to the relay and check the Dupont wires from the Arduino to the relay for 5V. Anything else?

They are set both to inverted. I have it running right now and its running when it should be off. I've tried the other 2 devices it found with similar results.

That sounds good. I have a Bluetooth dongle on my PI to connect to the Tilt. Its worked before. I must have really jacked my build up when I was troubleshooting. I'm seeing weird activity with the relay. When it switches to cooling, it turns the relay off! Then it won't come back on. If heating...

That was it, Tilt was the issue. Its up and running now, script has started! If you need any beta testers for the black Tilt, let me know!

I've been using a Pi2 vB. I'll uninstall and do w/o tilt with fingers crossed.

Yes, I've rebooted multiple times, unfortunately. Log is not that big: 2024-07-11 16:49:34 [E] Starting BrewPi. Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/brewpi/brewpi.py", line 1891, in main() File "/home/brewpi/brewpi.py", line 1880, in main initTilt() # Set up Tilt ^^^^^^^^^^ File...

One of my splices for the probe was bad, corrected and now my Arduino has lights when all is connected! I went ahead and reinstalled BrewPi and flashed the Arduino with the defaults. It came back that it was successful, and got the happy brewing splash screen. Sadly, when I load the page, I am...

Ok, I've picked up a new Arduino, it lights up when plugged into the PI, once I start attaching low voltage wires to it, it dies. I added GRD, unplugged and tested, A4 repeat, 5V repeat. It was when I added the 5V wire that no lights on the board came on. I then tested it again by disconnecting...

Thanks for the intel. I don't have backup Pi's or Arduino's, so I'll have to focus on the SD card and power supply. I was using a power-only USB cable that came with the PI. And I guess I'll look into getting spare PI and Arduino so I can get this beer cooling (thankfully I haven't put the yeast...

Hello all, I'm having trouble with starting a new brew. My last batch ran fine, and its been a few months since I last brewed. I brewed today and thought I would be able to fire this right up, but keep getting errors. I've ended up uninstalling, and reinstalling and still getting same error...

Thanks @bstacy1974! That's what I needed to know. I've corrected the offsets, so now I just need to wait till I'm finished with my build before I can do the autotune.

I picked up a used control panel that uses Mypin controllers. For the build out of the rest of system, I'm using ElectricBrewery's instructions. The 3 Mypins used on the controller are: TD4-SNR+SSR = Boil Kettle TA4-SNR+K = Mash tun TA4-SNR = HLT My temp probs are from Electric Brewery. I did...

So to make things interesting, my buddy added this generator plug for me, and to answer your question, its a dead man's switch.... With all that being said, its probably time for me to get up to code, and move my generator breaker up to the top so a interlock can be added, and add the 240V GFCI...

Thanks for the input. I'll look over the connections and give it a try with the 30 amp breaker. If it drives me crazy, I'll look into upgrading to a 50amp. I'll still need add another switch for the 2nd pump. I'm while I'm at it maybe switch the original light switch to one that will match the...

I'm currently working on switching my brewery from propane to electric. I figured I would start with the brain. I came across a control panel someone was getting rid of. They said it was about 8 years old, and they just didn't have time to brew anymore. I gave him $150 bucks for it and went on...

Thanks @LBussy, @duncan.brown, and @day_trippr! All good information. I love the control BrewPi Remix gives my fermentation, and now with the integrated Tilt readings! I went down the road of e-herms because of wanting more control over my mash temps. While my mash tun is insulated, I still...

I'm toying with the idea of switching to an e-herms, from a propane system. I've seen the electric brewery setup, while crazy nice, I'm just surprised there is not a software based solution similar to BrewPi. Am I missing something?

@jcav! You embarked on this build 7+ years ago! I have a propane setup using keggles as well. Now that you have been brewing on this system for many years, what tweaks have you made with it? I'm looking at adding a HERMs to my setup and going electric and this thread has been incredible...
