Custom Tilt Integration (Feedback Reqeust)

[lashack]

I recently purchased a Tilt V3 from eBay for $135.00 (with tax $143.10) and while I waited for it to arrive, I built out a custom integration and web interface to view a fermentation rate and temperature chart in. Here is a link to the web interface and integration: https://tinyurl.com/yapntawv

I wanted to share with the community and get any feedback! The data currently being shown was captured via the Tilt Google Spreadsheet integration but is obviously not from a real batch of beer. Instead, I just threw some sugar water into a vessel with the Tilt, adjusted the temperature a few times, and added some fresh water to bring the gravity down just to capture some real-time data. I will be brewing Memorial Day weekend and plan to use it as the real deal then.

Feel free to let me know any features or metrics I should possibly add.

Here is a screenshot of the interface and application:

Pretty interesting. Following for updates.

I just started a new log for a German Hefeweizen and will be logging the fermentation for the next few weeks. Stay tuned and check out the link for fermentation updates.

Well, the German Hefeweizen finished fermenting after 7 days so I racked it to secondary. I decided to brew a Belgian Saison (from this recipe) and will be logging the fermentation for the next few weeks. Stay tuned and check out the link for fermentation updates.

I decided to add a new page with all the brews that have been previously monitored and also brews currently being monitored. I only monitor (or ferment) one beer at a time with the TILT device (since I only have one and a small fermentation chamber).

This link will navigate users to the "current" fermenting brew.
This link will allow users to view all previous brews (in a table format). The very first brew is the "currently" fermenting beer with the TILT device. This table will grow as I track more brews with the TILT device.

Here is the typical interface to view all the stats for a brew that a user navigates to.

Here is the list of all the brews (including current and previous brews) that have been monitored with my TILT device.

Added some cool features (links to photo album) and changed the layout to be a little more aesthetically pleasing. Now you can access images by either clicking on the thumbnail picture or from the table of all the previous brews.

The Saison finished fermenting and I decided to brewed Mexican Lager today. 3 brews in 3 weeks! I am still using the TILT device integrated into my personal website to track the fermentation of this brew and other previous brews; updating the integration application I as I brew more and add more features. I am using this thread as a continuous log of the beers I am brewing and will keep it updated as I brew more and use the TILT device to capture fermentation lifecycles. Here is a link to the Mexican Lager I brewed today.

Here is a link to all the other brews that will continuously be updated as I brew more. Cheers.

Nice work as I like the layout! I use the Tilt integration that is in BrewFather.

Happy brewing!

Nice! There are countless brewing software integrations the TILT works with - I just wanted a bit more control over layout and metrics captured, plus it's a combination of two things I love, brewing and software design. Also, some of the brewing software out there charges more for TILT integration, so why not integrate it myself .

Thanks again and happy brewing!

P.S. I am a paid member of BrewersFreind and love their software. Keep up the good work. I just wanted to integrate the device myself and have some fun.

Well... The Mexican Lager finish fermenting and I decided to brew a Belgian Triple today. The OG did not finish as high as planned so it's going to be something closer to a Belgian Double. Here are the brew stats for it!

Happy brewing everyone

First, I'd like to say I'm enjoying seeing the formatted Tilt data.

Second, if you attempted a typical Belgian Tripel, but the OG came in at 1.065, what you'll end up with will probably be more or less a Belgian Blond, rather than a Dubbel. A Dubbel is a very different animal.

Yes, my mistake. That sounds right, it will probably turn out more like a Belgian Blonde. Will keep stats and pictures updated.

Here are the final results for the Belgian Tripel. The attenuation was really great so I think 8% can classify this beer as a triple?.
You can see all the Brew Stats here!

Total Days Primary Fermentor: 8 days
Secondary Length: 6 weeks

Fermentation Temperature: 68° F
Final Gravity: 1.004
Original Gravity: 1.065
Fermentation Temperature: 68° F
Final Gravity: 1.004
Final ABV: 8.01%
Apparent Attenuation: 93.85%

Here are a bunch more pictures as well: Belgian Triple (id #0005)

At least wrt BJCP Tripels start at 7.5%, so you're definitely in the game with a rather pretty beer

Cheers!

It's been a while since I have brewed, but wanted to share an Amber Ale I brewed this weekend, clone to Fat Tire Amber Ale. Here is the recipe. I enjoy watching the metrics from my custom TILT integration. Here is a link to my list of beers, just click on the beer to see the details. Here are some pictures from the interface and my fermentation chamber setup. Cheers!

Here are the Amber Ale stats as it ferments.
