I apologize for resurrecting such an old thread, but I could not be silent :) I actually found this while looking for a very sweet quad recipe, not looking for a way to make it less sweet. One of my favorite beers of all time is Firestone Walker's Stickee Monkee. The OG and FG are very...

I started out same as you, except that I found an airlock for $1 at a local store and a rubber grommet for $0.50 and drilled a hole in the plastic screw on lid for the juice container. So I never used balloons, but I can tell you my experiences from those early days till now. First of all...

If you are buying the cartridges from target I would agree. But if you are kegging you have access to really cheap co2, so whether it comes out of a soda stream nozzle or a beer gun makes no difference. I just use what I have and am trying to offer suggestions to others who may be in the same boat.

Yes, they do. And so does the cheap option if you give the bottles a short burst of co2 from a SodaStream :) And if you are capping on foam there shouldn't be any oxygen in the bottled product, whether there was any to begin with or not.

+1 for this option. I'm very new to the kegging world and wanted to try bottling without spending much money on expensive gadgets or the time to build something. Only thing I had to buy was the #2 size bung to fit the neck of the bottles. I eventually had to buy a $2 racking cane from the...

I understand the reasoning, because I did the same for my first D1 mini. Had to pay something like $8.99 to get it from Amazon just to get one working while I waited on the $3 ones from China. I'm just wondering what part number you are ordering for the thermometer, because that is outrageous...

Not sure where you bought the thermometers, but those should be one of the cheapest components at a few cents each. I thought I overpaid when I had to order mine from Amazon, and those were $8 for a pack of 5.

Mine did exactly this when I had a bad gyro board. If you go to the device information page, this usually shows up as reading "0.0" tilt angle. I actually had 3 bad gyro boards out of a box of 10, exhibiting the exact behavior you described. Replaced those boards and all is well now...

Silly question, but do you know for a fact that it is giving you current information? Look at the last update timestamp. I had one die in less than 24 hours because it reverted back to an update interval of 1s somehow. I agree that you should be seeing some kind of variation. Are you saying...

I have used mine in a few different types of brews, but most recently in a porter (Denny's Bourbon Vanilla Imperial Porter) and that brew took 40 hours before it showed any signs of life and then dropped 50 pts in the next 48 or so. Also, with such an aggressive fermentation on a beer like...

Has anyone else noticed their update interval randomly switching to 1 second between batches? I charged one of my iSpindels up a couple of weeks ago and threw it into my brew, only to discover the next day that the batt voltage had plummeted to 3.8v in a matter of a few hours! This same...

Just following up here, but after much testing and comparing voltages/continuity on just about every point of the bad gyro board to a known good one, I couldn't find any discrepancies. I eventually ordered new gyro boards to replace the two bad ones and they are working just fine. I guess you...

I realize this is an old comment, but I'm having the same issue on one of my 3 iSpindel builds and was curious if you ever found the solution? I tried re-soldering joints and checked continuity on the SCL and SDA traces back to the Wemos and the values were the same as one of my working units...
