    Off flavor when fermenting in keg... Any idea?

    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

    Off flavor when fermenting in keg... Any idea?

    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...

    Off flavor when fermenting in keg... Any idea?

    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...

    Native ESP8266 BrewPi Firmware - WiFi BrewPi, no Arduino needed!

    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...

    Native ESP8266 BrewPi Firmware - WiFi BrewPi, no Arduino needed!

    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.

    Fermentrack: Fermentation monitoring & BrewPi-www Replacement for Raspberry Pi

    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...

    Native ESP8266 BrewPi Firmware - WiFi BrewPi, no Arduino needed!

    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.

    Ss Brewtech 5.5gal Kettle - Low Quality

    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...

    Ss Brewtech 5.5gal Kettle - Low Quality

    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...

    Fermentrack: Fermentation monitoring & BrewPi-www Replacement for Raspberry Pi

    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?

    Fermentrack: Fermentation monitoring & BrewPi-www Replacement for Raspberry Pi

    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...

    Fermentrack: Fermentation monitoring & BrewPi-www Replacement for Raspberry Pi

    That's a pity... A good way to avoid thermowell... I guess I will keep fermentrack and forget Tilt... A little bit expensive for just gravity reading.

    Fermentrack: Fermentation monitoring & BrewPi-www Replacement for Raspberry Pi

    Yes I got it but can I based on the tilt temperature reading trigger a ESP 8266 heater function ON?

    Fermentrack: Fermentation monitoring & BrewPi-www Replacement for Raspberry Pi

    Hej! Sorry if I missed the info.... I'm trying to understand if through a tilt connected to fermentrack I could control a esp 8266 to tweak temperature (understand put the heat on or not. ) Thanks!!

    BeerSmith 3 Basic or Gold?

    I will jump on that cause I cannot agree more than saying IT is here to help us ;) I am sure my setup is way more simple than majority cause I'm only doing extract but I do have challenges to measure how much I loose transferring to fermenter for example

    BeerSmith 3 Basic or Gold?

    Sounds like a reasonable answer. Still need to understand how to tweak all the equipment side of it cause it looks like it will drastically affect results...
