I recently bought the OK Joe Judge grill which I like very much. I haven't used it for smoking since I have the Longhorn smoker, but the Judge could easily do a good job of smoking as well. It's shaped like a smoker and has an adjustable height coal tray so the coals can be a good distance from...

FWIW, I found that the GF counterflow chiller was more trouble than it's worth. I can cool faster with an immersion chiller and it's far easier to maintain!

When I send to do BIAB, I used a thing from Norther Brewer called a Sentinel (got to :20 in the vid below). It's actually to prevent a boil over, but I put my grain bag on it and sparged by pouring over it. Unfortunately I can find them any more, but you could certainly make something similar.

Would love to try this if still available!

Well, I re-flashed using the windows app and that went fine. However, the screen is still blank (though lit). I have discovered that the tracking will update on Grainfather only when I open the Tilt app on my phone. I tried re-setting up the wifi and it now says it has no internet (my wifi works...

I finally got around to updating - I use Grainfather. I went on https://web.brewflasher.com/ and used the Tiltbridge, ESP32 and Titlbridge v.1.2.2 OLED options. The update seemed to go fine, no error messages anyhow. Now, however, there is no display on the device - it's lit, but no text as...

Wow, you guys are awesome with the giveaways! Please count me in!

Wireless meat thermometer sounds great! Count me in! Thanks, Inkbird!

I did something similar to what I think you want to do - just on a smaller scale. As you can see, the wire across the top is sagging and got much worse as the hops grew bigger - they did eventually reach the top. Which presented another problem: getting up there to tend to them. This season I'm...

Thanks, everyone! I made some other adjustment to the recipe and water additions and didn't need the acid anymore. We'll see how it comes out in a couple months!

HI, I have a recipe for a schwartzbier that calls for .035fl oz of lactic acid (88%). I only have citric acid on hand; can I use this instead? What amount? It's obviously a very tiny amount to begin with, but my recipe program (Grainfather) won't let me re-run the water calculations without it...

Inkbird makes a warming mat for seedlings. I use a bungee cord to wrap the mat around the carboy (plastic one)

I have a grainfather g30. I use a hop spider as the recirc outlet filter always got really clogged and gummed up the works.

Just finished All Quiet on the Western Front. Starting Chasing the Rising Sun: The Journey of an American Song by Ted Anthony - about the song House of the Rising Sun

This looks like something you could try: https://www.reddit.com/r/grainfather/comments/xgmr9f/g30_sight_glass_mod/ . Basically, it swaps out the recirc pipe for a sight glass. Doesn't look too difficult.

Welcome! Since I'm from Central NY, I have to ask: Rome, NY or the original Rome? :)

Detaching the cable/screen did the trick! I got it all set up with the wifi and reattached the screen and it all works - I even got it logging to the Grainfather app! Thank you for your help!

Thanks for your quick reply! I tried all of your suggestions except for a different cable and different board because I have only one of each. I'll try getting a new cable today or tomorrow and try again. Then I'll try a different board (it took quite a while for it to get here). I watched the...

I’m trying to flash my new TiltBridge using BrewFlasher desktop and the web version. The desktop never worked, it always said “Firmware flashing FAILED. esptool.py raised an error. Try flashing again, or try flashing with a slower speed.” I tried slower speeds and always got the same error -...

Unfortunately, no. Good call, tho ;-)
