Anyone found some nozzles on amazon that could be used for this? Also, what is the formula to convert BTU/h to gallons/h of water mist/spray needed? My tap water is around 40-45f at 80psi year round and I'm really interested in trying this. I was thinking of mounting it on my kettle lid.

Yeah the tilts are shipped really tight, so I imagine you just need to tighten it harder than you have. The gasket included isn't particularly soft/pliable so it needs more force than f.e. a silicone or a rubber o ring would need. I couldn't open my tilt without gloves, so now I also tighten...

Yeah it's the same code basically. I figured out the problem, I wasn't waiting long enough for the broadcasts. The code works so it waits for 10 broadcasts and then returns them in an array. My enviroment has many BLE broadcasts so I had to wait longer to hear from the tilt. I've actually...

I'm using the iBeacon python code posted earlier in the thread. Here's my code, that uploads the data to data.sparkfun.com. http://pastebin.com/MUyAg040 And the library is here: https://github.com/switchdoclabs/iBeacon-Scanner- Increasing the count in parse_events to 30 seems to work for me...

Probably shouldn't have done that. Drying electronic devices is always best in rice or similar desiccants. Heat will cause evaporation to creep into crevices where it shouldn't creep and could cause more damage. You might get away with it, just remember it next time. Works great on phones and...

I have a python script running every 60 seconds to get values from the tilt and it seems the battery is dead after ~24 hours of use - Fresh battery. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong (checking too frequently?) These are broadcast messages, aren't they? So doesn't matter how often my script...

I just got a few too and the first one I tried seems to have a dead battery. Gonna try the others and see if I have more luck with them.

You could do something like this, like the others recommended. Note how I used short brown wires to connect the terminals.

How do you control these things? Are they analog, i.e. 0-12v or what?

Are all the rollers completely free and are you able to spin them? i.e. run a finger along a roller and it should keep rolling for a revolution or two.

OP was talking about minimizing components and I was merely responding to that... As for the added convenience, I can agree to that, but there's also the balance of convenience vs wiring mess and control panel size. F.e. with fewer components your box can be quite a bit smaller than with all...

I think the 3 PIDs are overkill (one should be sufficient). Most of the buttons and lights too. Make sure you have a button for the pump(s) tho. AMP/Volt meters are mostly useless, too. But all these things do make the panel look awfully pretty and have their (limited) uses.

You're running the arduino libs on the attiny? Can you send me the schematics? I like this, so simple and nice :)

I have it in a tee after the ball valve. Ball valve is under the false bottom that the bag sits on. That way you know what temperature wort you're pumping on top of the grain bed.

What about a 555 timer, ssr and resistors/caps? Could end up even cheaper than this thing, and quite simple to wire up. Something like this: http://www.instructables.com/id/Yet-Another-Simple-Pot-controlled-555-PWM-generato/

I hate to be a party pooper, but I suspect this element will scorch your beer. I used a 4500w element that probably had a similar watt density and my beer tasted like burnt porridge. I suggest you invest in a new one before spoiling a whole batch of beer.

You're wrong.

You'll be fine. It's just gonna be a tad slower than with a faster motor (obviously)
