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?

Hi Guys. I've read through page 69 and I thought I was good but still cannot find any document that helps me work out what solders where. Most of the images are of completed ESP8266 boards but one showed small electronics soldered in the R4 / R5/ R1 etc positions? Is this still needed...

Thanks Dude. Found these on amazon (quicker delivery) but I did not know these existed. So no wiring just insert and solder and make sure you run the wires from the sensors in the correct order? I need to run a standard patch cable between the two board and butcher one to attach to the...

Thanks Chris. So I add a RJ45 socket to each board and then run an ethernet cable between the two ? Do the 8 holes on each board offer integrated pins that I'm not guessing. I didn't think RJ45 connectors had mounting pins or is just glued to the boards? Am i missing something? I've...

I managed to find this diagram on page on page 84 (thankyou 100 amps). I have the PCB on order (including sessor PCB's) and all of the parts (including a 3d printer to really make it look finished). I'm generally a software guy so to avoid electronics and soldering as much as possible...

Does anybody know of a location (or page# on a thread) that has a ESPN8266 wiring diagram akin to the ardunio diagram I have used previously. I already have controllers and fermentrack but want to investigate converting my Uno R3 installs to ESPN8266 boards to take advantage of the wireless...
