Selling a mash tun and a bottle capper. Barely used, all in great shape if a bit dusty. $130 for both. Located in Wheeling, IL northwest of Chicago. Would prefer local pickup, but can try to ship at your cost (might be cost prohibitive due to size)...

Selling a few pieces of equipment that have seen minimal use. Would like to sell as a set locally near Chicago for $250 OBO, but will sell them separately for (OBO): Mash tun - $120 Malt Mill - $100 Bottle Capper - $40 Pictures and links to product information can be seen at my Craigslist ad...

I need to update the brewpi software to legacy as well? I thought the main issue was that current brewpi wasn't able to flash the arduino with the new hex and xloader got around that? Update/edit: Now it's saying that it can't get the version number from the controller. Tried following the...

and I'm back... tried to refresh device list and get the following error: "Error while receiving device configuration: SyntaxError: JSON Parse error: Unexpected identifier 'Couldn'" I am 100% sure the wiring is set up properly. Even used breadboard connectors to help out and have...

Sweet, looks like it's working (at least the script is now running). Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the clarification. I am trying to do it via a laptop, but xloader seems to also be hanging. Says it is uploading the file, but nothing happens.

Sorry, new to this - should I install an older version of BrewPi or try using xloader to setup the arduino? How would I install a .zip like the xloader onto a raspberry pi?

I am trying to set up my controller, but am having trouble flashing the hex file to the arduino. I have gone through the web interface, selected the hex file, and hit program. The interface says that it's programming and to keep an eye on the output below to see progress, but then it just sits...

Planning on brewing the extract version today/tomorrow! Can't wait.

Checked the gravity and it was the same as right before I put it in secondary and got it lagering. Went ahead and bottled last night. Had a small sample, tasted pretty good so hoping for the best when it's ready!

I made a lager 7 weeks ago. Had it in primary @ 45F for 3 weeks and then moved it to a secondary @ 35F for 4 weeks. The last week or so it has started bubbling again, but I was getting ready to bottle it tonight. Should I let it go longer or just go ahead and bottle it? It doesn't appear to be...

Well found some answers after more searching. http://hbd.org/discus/messages/34426/36272.html http://www.homebrewersassociation.org/forum/index.php?topic=13984.0 Not much discussion on this topic as far as I can find, so I guess it hasn't really been much of an issue for most.

Snisup, thanks for the response. I have already found and adjusted the differential temperature you mention and have it set at 2F. The problem seems to be that the freezer refrigerant continues to cool the chamber after the temp controller has shut the compressor off. So the system shuts off...

Do 3 gallon brewers count here? lol... I considered 1 gallon, decided it was too little, 5 gallons too much. I want a quick turnover so i can brew more often and try new things!

I was recently able to get a nice deal on a chest freezer that is perfect size for a carboy/bucket and still has a good amount of space for some bottles or other things. Right away I snagged a Johnson temperature controller off Amazon -...
