I will see what I can dig up. The site is long gone I think and the guy that built and sold them stopped replying to emails a long time ago. I can always open it up and look at it and take a few pics. There was another post on here about it where someone was talking about the way it was designed...

ok - so how do I make that happen on my Hosehead controller? I am no electrician and a complete danger with a soldering iron lol. I have a pile of about 20 of these sensors after buying a bunch to replace the ones that quit working. Maybe they weren't bad to begin with?

I'm wondering if this would this fix my problem. I've got a Hosehead controller and when I added some more temp sensors some of them stopped working. Now I'm down to only 2 of them working at all and sometimes I have to reboot it mid brew session to get them both back. It's frustrating but this...

I know this is old but I just saw your message. Not really. There is a fuse that keeps blowing when I unplug sensors and I have had to replace it a number of times. I was running 5 sensors at one point but I'm down to 2 now. I've tried buying new sensors a couple of times but they don't work...

Will do. After looking for that connector it seems like it is a headphone jack 5-way splitter. Maybe that went bad? It's possible it got wet during cleanup. Thanks and I will try one at a time as suggested. Edit: Is there another way I can see if these sensors are working or being detected? A...

I agree. The sensors plug into a 5 plug connector that plugs into the Hosehead. Those are the sensors it uses although when I bought a couple more off Amazon they did not work. I did try moving them to different spots on the connector but I will do them one at a time with a reboot in between and...

I know Corey isn't supporting these anymore so I'm hoping someone in here can help. I've been using my Hosehead 5BC for a few years now and for some reason all three of my temp sensors say "couldn't find the device under /sys/bus/w1/devices/{sensor name}/w1_slave". I have rebooted it, checked...

As of my last post I was at 70 gallons and have added: 10 IPA 5 Czech Pils (lagering) 5 West Coast Amber Ale (ready to keg) 5 Tmavy 10 (Czech Dark Lager) (also brewed 150 gallons of one of my beers at a local brewery but I won't count that here). Takes me to 95 for the year. Gotta get one more...

Let's see... +5 gal West Coast IPA +5 gal Choc/coffee stout +10 gal American Wheat +5 gal Pils +25 gal Cream Ale/NEIPA mashup +20 gal NEIPA That's 70 gal so fat this year 6993 + 70 = 7063

I just brewed and kegged my version of it for the first time in a long time. I had emailed the original brewer awhile back and received a recipe in proportions of malt and hops. I'll dig up the email and post my version of it when I get home tonight. From what I remember my version is pretty close.

brewshop was out of phosphoric so it looks like I'm diluting with 30% distilled. That should drop the alkalinity down and then I can use a smaller dose of lactic to hit my pH. From some other googling it looks like ~1ml/gal is about the limit before it could be tasted in the beer. I do not...

I'm using Bru'n water spreadsheet. I will pick up some phosphoric today on your suggestion and see if that changes things a bit. Thanks

Brewing a pils tomorrow and went through Bru'n water to figure out my adjustments and it seems like it's telling me to add a lot of 88% lactic. I would like some input to see if I might be doing something wrong in the spreadsheet. Water profile from Ward Labs: Ca= 54 Mg = 18 Na = 29 K = 1...

How do you like the second version compared to the original recipe you posted? I typically use a little bit of biscuit in my bitters but might change it up a little next time.
