Thanks - I'd always heard (maybe incorrectly) that commercially made hard cider always used a diluted apple base hence my thinking. The juice is $6 per gallon so $120 for the 20 gallons I'm getting - Part of me was trying to make that going further , however not at the expense of creating a...
Not super experienced - I've just Nottingham once for cider and had to dump in the end. It developed a Sulphur twang and it never cleared , even after 6 months. My best experience was with the cider select yeast.
We have a homebrew cider day next week and I have 20 gallons of juice pressed that day.
I have 2 fermenters and fermentation fridges that can take a spidiel 15 gallon fermenter (head space around 17 gallons.)
I was thinking of diluting the 20 gallons of juice to give me 2 x 17 gallon batches...
RAPT Temperature Controlled Fermentation Chamber | MoreBeer - Just seen this on morebeer. $1499.00. Chest Freezer and fermentrack and controller for about $400 all in. I'm always amazed at how accurate (to .1 F) fermentrack keeps the temp after the first day. I generally get...
Do you have the jumper on the main board selecting the 5v or 3.3v setting? I seem to remember it not finding the sensors if nothing is selected.
I see you have the jumper on the main board sorry. I gave up of the surface mounted boards due to my limited skills and eyesight but it seems...
Thanks Pers - Good spot it should have been 192.168.0.103 .Between trying to work out what the name should be and not giving the device enough time to update the Wi-Fi setting on the ESP-8266 i must have missed it. However I'm still not getting any kind of feedback to fermentrack still...
I have a couple of ISpindels which seem to working fine but cannot get them set up in fermentrack. I've tried several times. Is there some trick I'm missing with naming convention etc.
I've included the screenshots taken from my phone when connected locally to the device.
This is the same...
Amazon.com: MAKERELE Plastic Strain Relief Cord Connector Adjustable 3-6.5mm Cable Gland(1/4 NPT, 12pcs) : Tools & Home Improvement
Not sure if this is any use to the group but I've used the 3d printed cases for the sensor boxes and used the above item to secure the sensor to the box. The...
Thanks again Thorrack. I looked on Amazon at that based on the description on the box I do have, but the images on there didn't make them look any different. - ordered today. I may have this working by the end of the weekend :) 80% there.
HI Guys - More questions :) Hopefully my questions are helping other users. I for the transformers suggested that converts the 110V down to 5V. What looks like the AC side has holes that are two wide apart for the screw terminals I have. What kind of connector would I use for this side...
That was it Thorrack. Thanks. I had bridged it as 5v left and middle on a board and then realized it was a board that I was waiting the 4.7V resistor on and forgot to move - Just put it on a board with a 4.7K resistor and it popped straight up in fermentrack. Thanks.
Hi - Anybody any idea why I can't see the one wire sensors in fermentrack. I ended making 5 boards and have them all connecting to the wifi and displaying the readings on a display. In fermentrack I can connect to the controller but only see pin setting and no one wire settings. I just...
I have 3 of the surface mounted boards that I do not have the appropriate skills to complete. Anybody want them ? No money needed. I can even send the SMD's I have with them. PM if any help.
I'd prefer to send all 3 to one person if possible.
Update - I have a home for these boards.
Thanks Chris. Sorry for not responding earlier. I accepted in the end the SMD style was above my competency with a soldering Iron and ordered some more boards that had less soldering points and holes instead of surface mountings but i will take heed and try to be as clean as possible.
HI - Soldered as best I could - ESP is flashed and even connected to the Wifi. Have connected it to fermentrack using wifi.
once connected to the board I power the screen on but do not see any image. Am I meant to see the Fridge on screen or do i need to do something else to see this?
