I believe they are in because I have no leak when I put it under pressure. It is weird to think of an infection on a new keg. I wash it with PBW and sanitize it every time... But it seems to be one of the possibilities

I get it but I cannot understand why it is not happening with my other fermenters...

Honestly I don't know exactly the pitch rate. I do the same starter everytime and pitch it. Again the same process I do outside of the keg in a normal fermenter. I never tasted oxidize beer as such. I put keg lube on all the o-rings. The keg is new and holding pressure well but I cannot say...

No weirdly it is 2 different strains. Initially it was Oslo and lately Lida...

Hi!! I am experimenting with fermenting directly in keg. The 2 first fermentations where done under pressure. The first one was a stout and good. The second one was a dobble Bock and was ... weird. FG was quite higher than expected. I put it under the pressurize fermentation fault. The taste...

Just run it and as suspected it does not show up... The weird part is that : 1 - It shows up in my router list for a minute let say 2 - Looking at my LCD on the ESP8266 it looks like it is normal... I may have an old router to troubleshoot the router issue - which I suspect because it is the...

I am lost... I used to have Fermentrack up and running with a ESP8266 in wifi - worked for maybe 10 batches. Last week I unplugged my ESP8266 because I was not fermenting anything. Yesterday after my brew day I plugged the ESP and tried to set the temperature. Fermentrack was not finding my...

Deterring an almost 6 years old thread... I'm thinking about doing the same. Just wanted to know if I can see some examples. The pictures in the OP are broken now.

No or at least I didn't asked for ;) for whatever reason now...it works. It is really strange.

Ok thanks to some advice here I managed to put my ESP in an enclosure with XLR mini. I'm happy with it. Then I decided to push the update of Dec 29, 2019 and seems to work. The display is working everything seemed to be fine. Today luckily before this weekend I decided to test the actual...

I have been running successfully the esp8266 for couple of brews!! Now happy with it I would like to clean a little bit the install and plan to put it in a box with connectors for the temp prob. Any advice for connectors? I feel RJ11 or 45 is overkill but I would like a solid connector.

No it's not :) clearance here is just old stock that they want to get rid of. I bought a new item. Nowhere was stated second hand or product with defect. If you go and buy a car. The salesman may have in stock a old and new version of the model you are looking for in stock correct? As soon as...

Just wanted to share my deception around the SS Brewtech quality and my frustration regarding their customer service so far... Take a look at the pictures... They almost immediately proposed a small compensation that I was ready to accept under one condition - getting an extended warranty...

Great thanks! So today I have a probe for outside temperature I should re-assign it as fridge temperature probe and my relay will be alive correct?

Thanks! Well so I did went down the road to finally use my fermentrack for more than just log the temp :) I plugged a relay on D0 for heating. But running tests it is not working I think... If I set in Beer Constant mode or Beer Profile and I tweak the beer temperature it doesn't do...
