These revisions look good to me @Wootonius!

Nice diagram -I'd prefer to have the SSR after the contactor, and probably have another LED indicator tied to it to indicate things are live. -SSR control circuit is not correct, should go to an available GPIO on RPi and DC Ground on RPi. DC GND is not the same as AC GND -You'll need a pull up...

Right on, this is what I used: https://www.digikey.ca/en/products/detail/OSTVN03A150/ED10562-ND/1588863

Got a friend to print some of the newer brackets with colimeter. I've found the new divider needs to be trimmed up to accommodate the boards I put together. I've filed a couple down a couple dividers to make them fit, but they also have the tendency to snap off when doing this. I may suggest...

Just flashed 7 brewbubbles devices. Really easy to use tool, well done. Took me a second to understand how versioning is represented. Does this connect with a remote firmware database? Or does it check github repos directly?

@James_42 I have 10 pcbs in my desk... and photogates and esp8266s to go with them. I haven't soldered any up yet...

There was someone who forked it and did a python3 version, and even forked and converted all the plugins for python3. https://github.com/jpgimenez/craftbeerpi3 https://github.com/jpgimenez/craftbeerpi-plugins/blob/master/plugins.yaml

Sorry your thread has gotten derailed a bit @beer2d2, we should move on. How is the build/planning going?

The same hardware will work with many projects, which is a benefit of using an RPi. CBPi still works as it is, so you can still use it. You might run into some minor bugs or disgruntled users, but it's fine. If you want something actively developed you could use Node-Red (see Facebook Groups)...

I just commented this on another RPi brewery controller thread... You should be aware CBPi is no longer actively developed or maintained. You can still use it of course and it works for many people but there are uncorrected bugs, outdated dependencies and it uses an outdated language even...

Helpful comments here, just wanted to mention that if this project uses CBPi you should be aware it is no longer actively developed or maintained.

Does this meet your needs? https://PCBs.io/share/4QvpO You can leave off the circuitry for the LCD if you don't need it (10k resistors and mosfets)

No, you should be able to use all the same hardware. Just a matter of know which GPIO you're using for each process. DS18B20 temperature sensors are well supported.

Node-RED is not restricted to raspberry pi by any means, and is often ran in a VM. It's been awhile, but if you can push JSON to brewpi like fermentrack does, I think that would do what you want. I don't recall exactly how that communication works, as it's been awhile since I was using...

I highly recommend using influx db for this sort of time series data. If you are more experienced with data visualization, you could use something like vega for highly customizable plots. There is also a plug and play timeseries chart included in node-red-dashboard, but it leaves something to be...

I'll start by saying in a lot of cases here I think it will make more sense for somebody to start a new node-red app for their brewery and just borrow parts from mine here and there, e.g. a PID. Particularly if you haven't used node-red before. I do think you could add some logic here to do what...

Yes you'll get a good deal more temperature drop with recirculation. My suggestion would be to only use the pump for your vorlauf - for say 10 minutes, then the transfer to BK. At this point temperature won't matter much as conversion has already been completed. If you want to recirculate for...

I've done it before.

FWIW Crankandstein has been offering geared homebrewing and commercial brewing mills for awhile and their 3-roller designs are the same configuration with the top gap being the geared one. Probably because it's easier to reliably gear a fixed gap. I like the sealed gear design of the monster...

I'm assuming @golfindia's suggestion was to power the relay module with a separate circuit to the pi - not talking about the control signals as you're showing here, but just the JD-VCC and GND pins on relay module (remove the jumper).
