Okay. Here is my 2nd go around with my lager ramping. All went well, but I again had some larger than expected oscillation towards the end of ramp down (additional pic zoomed for greater detail). For the entirety, the glycol remained at least 10 degrees cooler than the corresponding BrewPi set...

The BrewPi in this instance is controlling a small pump submerged in glycol in a cooler. There is a separate controller for the chiller itself, in my case, an Inkbird.

Lee, I actually just made a glycol chiller with a window air conditioner. It’s been working like a champ. 😁 I thought about turning off the heater wrap as well, but I was trying to minimize cooling overshoots to keep with the Tasty McDole lager cool down after the diacetyl rest.

Got it. Do most people running glycol run at a specific temperature and keep it there? Or do you bump it down as needed? I started it low at first but it seemed to cool too much so I adjusted it up. This however is also problematic during a lager ramp down as seen above. I ended up changing the...

This is a graph of my fermenter filled with 5.5-6 gallons of water, very similar to the batch sizes I typically brew.

Hello all, I’m running the glycol shield on my rewired (I2C) BrewPi controller. Doing some testing before my first fermentation, but I’m getting a lot of oscillation, especially towards end. Any suggestions? Please ignore the blip in the middle—I forgot to lower my chiller temp. 🤓

Hello all, I have an old BrewPi that I’m working on updating to BrewPi Remix. Everything seems to go fine until it runs for a couple hours then the graph stops updating and the script cannot connect. Wondering if it has something to do with the Tilt? I sometimes use it but only for lagers and...

Very nice, I’m not super experienced with 3D printing, how big of a printer do you need for these pieces? I’m guessing that the main board enclosure is the biggest?

Thanks for all pictures, very helpful, am I missing the link to the 3-D printer files?

Thanks Lee! I’d love to see each of the boards if you can.

Hi all, as I’m patiently waiting for my various pieces to come through customs and elsewhere, can anyone please upload some pics of their board builds? I’m a very visual learner and really need the help with what goes where exactly for soldering. Or is this fairly self explanatory once I get all...

Day_trippr, do you have an image of your keg, to QD, to flowmeter setup? I'd be curious to see it. Does the flowmeter need to be horizontal?

Lee, Thomas from SwissFlo was kind enough to swap out their regular JG fittings for the 8mm ones when I purchased their flowmeters. If you buy the SF800 flowmeters, just ask if they can swap the fittings out--he said the cost differential was negligible. Thomas was curious about this Keg cop...

Looking for recommendations on placement of the inline flow meter to best control turbulence and foaming. Beginning? Middle? End of the beer line?

This is simply awesome. I heard your podcast on Homebrewing DIY and I'm starting to look for parts. Has anyone found a source from a reputable website for John Guest PM450813E besides Amazon? They are currently unavailable...
