    Fermentrack: Fermentation monitoring & BrewPi-www Replacement for Raspberry Pi

    I do control the plug programatically through the local WiFi, the cloud based version is for non-technical folks :) I found an .sh file on Github for HS-100 which allows me to turn it off/on by IP. Not sure about KP-125, though, but I'm pretty sure it's been reversed engineered as well. Cheers!

    Overbuilding Imperial yeast starter

    Yes, I did buy 5L flask specifically for that cause and I also have a bottle of Fermcap in case it is not enough. Thanks for the calculator, it's very useful.

    Overbuilding Imperial yeast starter

    Oh, ok, now it makes much more sense to me, thanks. It does seem much more complicated, though. And how do you compare your cell count eventually? I mean you can't just keep stepping up forever :)

    Overbuilding Imperial yeast starter

    Huh :) Ok, pseudo science or not but I'm honestly not getting how I can grow something out of 3 ml yeast + wort.

    Overbuilding Imperial yeast starter

    I don't know but it seems to be a common practice, at least Brulosophy article implies that – Yeast Harvesting

    Overbuilding Imperial yeast starter

    Hmmm, so my plan is to split the starter, brew on Saturday then brew with this harvested yeasts in a month or so. I will make a new starter for it and overbuild again (for the next next batch). Brewfather suggests that I should harvest 630 ml, so I was going to put it in a jar, seal and store in...

    Overbuilding Imperial yeast starter

    Sorry, let me clarify. I do use a Brewfather calculator, it's actually the reason why I have this question :) So here's what I've got So I'm just trying to understand what should be my overbuild count if the original yeast package got 200 billions. Should I overbuild 100 or 200 billions? Or...

    To hold some back for a future batch, yes.

    Overbuilding Imperial yeast starter

    HI, I'm just starting with the starter overbuild method so maybe it's a silly question but how much should I overbuild? I've read that it's 100 billion cells but Imperial yeast has initial count of 200 billions, so should I overbuild 100 or 200 billions? Thanks!

    Tilt hydrometer for temperature control

    Glad to hear! Yes, unfortunately, 15 mins is the Tilt app's minimum latency. I think you should be fine, check the readings on the on water and assume that it'd slower to cool down the active wort.

    Tilt hydrometer for temperature control

    Hi. It depends how you code it of course :) My original app is in java and I didn't pay attention to resources at all, I mean I could've optimized it a lot. Nevertheless, it still works like a charm. Raspberry Zero does have half as much RAM, though, but anyway I think you should be fine.

    Tilt hydrometer for temperature control

    Yep, I just check it. Did you follow the Tilt guide on how to add a spreadsheet to the app? Google's changed the UI, though, so click a `User legacy editor` button. Then you'd asked to grant permission and it will say it's unsafe (ugh) so you need to click `Advanced` and proceed. Also, make sure...

    Tilt hydrometer for temperature control

    Yep, you can just copy the spreadsheet and paste its url in the second Tilt settings.

    Tilt hydrometer for temperature control

    So you managed to make it work, great :) Regarding the second smart plug, basically, yes but let me check that out to be sure.

    Tilt hydrometer for temperature control

    Yes, I added a trigger to GoogleDocs that basically just turns the switch off once in a while (you can configure how often). You can find how to configure that trigger in my previous posts. Let me know if you can't find it. UPDATE: Oh, you meant WiFi failure. So for this case you need to...

    Tilt hydrometer for temperature control

    Hi, you're welcome :) 1) No, it's your smartphone/tablet that sends the readings. You can select the interval in the Tilt app. 2) You will need to fill up a couple of variables in this section: So you need to change ON/OFF URLs and replace `YOUR_DEVICEID_HERE` in ON/OFF Body columns. First...

    Tilt hydrometer for temperature control

    I'm glad somebody uses it :) If you're interested I can add support for temperature range to avoid switching on and off too frequently.

    Tilt hydrometer for temperature control

    Hi, I'm happy to help! Looks like the images do open when you click on them but anyway I'll reattach them so they won't get lost. Let me know if you got it to work.

    Tilt hydrometer for temperature control

    Found a small issue, it turns out that the triggers are not copied with the spreadsheet so for `Turn off if disaster` you need to follow the next steps:

    Tilt hydrometer for temperature control

    Hi guys, I have an update on the topic. So recently I was asked to share the code and I realized that it would be nearly impossible to set everything up for a person with no software engineering background and I came up with the solution that should be available for everyone. I used a Google...
