Doh! Stretch!

Wow, last time I looked at this thread there were only 524 pages :o now over 700 . . . Well done. Reason I'm back is my BrewPi was fried, well the SD card was when my fridge tripped the RCD, so I needed to rebuild it . . . for some reason imaging it didn't work, probably a bad image. . . as I...

I accept what you are saying, however, using phosphoric acid for alkalinity reduction resulted in a very hard to remove precipitate in the HLT (on the elements) and in the kettle, changing to hydrochloric and sulfuric resulted in a soft coating that was easy to remove. I have a number of beers...

Beerstone can be relatively easily removed, using PBW, but what forms on the elements won't shift easily, it's not calcium carbonate either as that can be shifted using kettle descaler (citric acid usually). Strong mineral acids like sulphuric and hydrochloric will shift it, usually to the...

One major disadvantage of using phosphoric, is that it forms a much harder to remove deposit on electric elements (in the HLT and Kettle) than calcium carbonate. this leads to premature failure of the elements. I know it doesn't matter with gas, apart from having to scrub the deposit of the...

And then take a look at post 478? . . .can't remember which one as that will tell you how to load the legacy branch. . . You can't follow the automatic install instructions at the BrewPi Docs page any more but the manual ones work.

Thanks guys, makes complete sense to me now . . . I fixed all three sensors together with elastic bands last night and it all sort of calmed down. I think I'll RDWAHAHB ! Just need to sort out the video streaming now :(

Hi all, any reason why my Room Temp sensor doesn't change temp as smoothly as the other two?? As you can see from the two segments of the graph, the room temp line is fuzzier than the other two due to the large number of rapid changes of temp +/-01.c . . . This is shown more clearly in the...

You ****tin me?? Actually you have a real point, the vast majority of 'drinkers' drink mass produced ****e . . . heck some of them think Bud is a premium brand!! However there are a huge number of small craft breweries producing great beer . . a lot inspired by the weird stuff you Americans...

It's an 8GB card, so space shouldn't be an issue pi@AlePi ~ $ df -H Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/root 6.8G 3.3G 3.2G 51% / devtmpfs 482M 0 482M 0% /dev tmpfs 98M 295k 97M 1% /run tmpfs 5.3M 0 5.3M 0%...

As I've had the BrewPi working for some time now, and even had to rebuild it when a power spike trashed the SD card, and got it working fine. I decided that it was time to do something else with it, and add live video streaming of the bubbles in the blow off (well I had a convenient USB Camera...

Well I use a Braumeister, and the sleeve is solid, with filters top and bottom. . . of course it is considerably more expensive than the Grainfather. I did get to see a demo of the GF before making my decision, and for me it was a no brainer. I went to One Vessel full volume brewing to make...

Gentlemen, All of You, Fuzze, Elkoe, WBarber69 (Yeah even a slam down answer deserves it :D ) Thank You:mug::mug: I have had a working Pi for a week now, OK it's still in Breadboard format, and wrapped up in an amazon DVD card board packing sleeve. But working and stable . . . as you can see...

Turns out I'm a pillock and despite BrewPI Implying that it supports a Mega 2560 with it in the list of board types, it actually doesn't . . . Time to buy a Uno Then

Hmmm! My Google Fu is low today, must be something to do with my midiclorian levels :( I've hooked the Sainsmart AT2560 Mega board up to the raspi, and in thoery downloaded the hex file to it. (I get the RX and TX lights flash) . . . I've even tried it with XLoader. UNfortunately I get...

I sort of thought that might be the case TBH, of course it does also throw a spanner in my plans as it turns out I have a Sainsmart Mega 2560 R3 board and not an Uno :( When the cables arrive and I can hook the Mega up I'll let you know if the code works between the two, but I bet it won't ...

Just to say one thing 378 pages, ain't no way I'm going to read all that :lol: Kudos to Fuzze :rockin: OK I already had a Arduino that I was given as a christmas present, and not really found a project for it, I have now :D So I bought a Pi, and have been trying to get wifi to work for...

Yeah, it is coagulating protein, however John has got it wrong :o:o, and it takes an awful lot longer to secure the 'hot break' that 15-20 minutes. The picture that was used (from my site :D:D), was taken just after the immersion chiller went in at 75 minutes into the boil. Generally the minimum...
