Install issue: RPI3B+, stretch noobs os, 3.0 CraftBeerPi board, 12vdc 5A ps attached for CBP install, manual install vis PuTTY. # times I have started from scratch, cut & paste, and always get "could not open requirements file no such file or directory requirements.txt. Also each install I...

Looking to do a setup for fermentation, 2 fermenters, and already have rhe SSRs, and temperature probes. I would like to plan for Version 4 with a RPI 4 and need the appropriate GPIO card for implementation. Advice and recommendations appreciated. Mike

Is there a hw needed/source for needed components besides the RPI (will use 3B+). Will it also control valves?

Cool, and thank you for the support.

Cool, thank you so much for your time and support! Mike

Sorry I had my system inadvertently storage building. The clear one is for the 7 2 way valves and the fuzzy one is for the 1 3 way valve.

I am rewiring my system as my automated controller died, to a PID system. My valves (8) are all 3 wire design with one wire to positive and one to common (gang wired). The third wire went to the controller and I do not know whether it needs to be common (ground/negative) or to positive. Advice...

YES on the Ham, Extra. Elco has had ups and downs over the last 3-4 years. I will be glad to see him get the brewing system up and running, for distribution. My first issue was that if you are fermenting and want to brew it won't work. But once he gets it running you will only need 1 BrewPi...

I ordered 2 BrewPi' s and they are shipping from Netherlands today. I have my Raspberry pi ready to install Docker once my toyz arrive ~ 6 days via FedEx.

Picture of my fermenter.

Just finished ordering 2 BrewPi Sparc3's to set up my 2 fermentation chambers (I used the original Brewpi and loved it). Should have them in ~10 days, rewiring my temperature sensors (my units have heat and cooling with constant air circulation). My PID controllers arrive tomorrow and rewiring...

I like it. I looked at one similar, used, and talked to a friend. Basically with electric, like me, the stainless soaks up heat so put some wood under them (NO paint or sealer or it will stick to your pot). Mineral oil should be fine. My friend went high end with a soapstone top.

Been there and like it, just wanted to what others thought. Thanks

Thanks, saw it but have not gone there yet.

Been a while since I checked in, so updating. My Brewtroller died so I am moving to a PID HERMS system, parts ordered. Should be able to brew next month. I use 5 gallon Sanke kegs (fewer seals), and currently only have a 2 tap kegerator. I have gone to Fermentables & Homegrown Hobbies, and...

Got it and thanks.

Glad I found you on YouTube. I have an automated system (dead) that has most of the components. I run 20 gallon system (3 pots) to yield 12 gallons for my Blichman 14 gallon conicals (been brewing since '91). Anyway I want to gut my system changing it to PID control (I run HERMS exclusively)...

Well I ordered my replacement automation controller *BrewTroller Phoenix" today plus 2 water brewer kits from Ward Labs (tap water & RO water (5 stage)) today. I hope to start brewing mid June, but once I get the reports if anyone in the Greenbrier area wants copies let me know (yes I tailor my...

I did several emails with the new owner of BrewTroller and will be ordering a replacement (no wiring changes) when it comes out next week.

My DX1 BrewTroller died last year and I am looking for a replacement. I thought it was going to be the BrewPi Sparc, but after talking with Elco that may not work for my set up. I have two brew chambers, upright freezers with Blichmann sanitary (triclamp setup) 14 gallon fermenters with a...
