Yep that's the port of Brewpi to use. The main Brewpi site has a bit of background info. if you get stuck etc. https://community.brewpi.com/t/brewometer-integration/1674/59

So I received my Brewometer the other week and after spending all weekend setting up the Brewpi (legacy) to play nicely with it (had to start from scratch multiple times!) and also setting up an old cellphone to push updates to @rlightner amazing brewstat.us website I can happily say that it was...

Yeah I just gave it another go just now and as suspected it was a 'user error' as I didn't see the thread the rubber was hiding...screwed right in! Thanks for the help folks!

Cheers, will do! :)

Yes I'm using the syringe that came with it..and can confirm it looks like the one you've linked to on Amazon... Hmm...the port is completely smooth so I can't screw on the syringe unfortunately hence why I unscrewed the cap in the first place - I understand that I should be able to take a...

Thankfully only a few mls came out as I could see what was going to happen if I unscrewed it completely...yeah I have a refractometer too so we're on the same page there.

Okay I think I'm doing it wrong...or something's up... On the sample port (Gas in) there's a clear screw on 'cap' which contains the blue seal for I'm thinking a needle syringe??...any way the only way to screw on the syringe that came with the zymatic it is to unscrew this cap (revealing the...

Guys, I'm 2 batches in but haven't quite worked out how to take samples using the syringe...I know that it screws onto the sample port but of course with wort always pumping through - when you unscrew the port cap wort sprays out the top (ask me how I know...) - so what's the exact procedure? is...

The most you can set is 999 mins per step via the advanced editor and with a maximum of 14 steps it will be more than enough I'd imagine. I don't ferment in the brew keg I just transfer to my fermenter using the circulate option in the help menu when done.

Thanks for the tips everyone! I broke my Zymatic cherry yesterday and brewed a custom recipe twice (ie. back to back batches) making a combined 19.1L (5.05G) of 1.073 wort using the High Efficiency Mash (HEM) profile which I further customised via the advance editor (60min mash at 158F for more...

Yep NZ...I was in the middle of emails from Annie about how best to ship it here and she was great and was trying to slim down the box size and weight for me so that I could use my ship forwarder located in Portland - of course this meant that I didn't need the corny keg which cut it down from 3...

My number one concern was being able to operate at 240v which some of their kick-starter customers already had but these units were not available through the website. Secondly, metric... I NEED to be able to measure in grams, kilos and litres. I was assured that this will be rolled out at the...

I've been lurking myself and appreciate your posts too! I've been on the fence for a while about buying one and finally caved in last week after a very detailed reply to a stream of e-mails I sent to Annie. I can't wait to receive it and am too looking forward to the new remote start feature...

Congratulations Doug!

Hey Doug, Tried out the new beta yesterday during a brew and the only issue I found was the timer wouldn't work saying '...couldn't reset timer... ' or something to that description. Cheers!
