    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    Yes sir. It's the newest one that uses the Photon instead of the core though.

    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    A big thanks to those that have helped with advice and especially Elco over at BrewPi. I wanted to make an enclosed BrewPi system that could handle double fermentation chambers (once the BrewPi is updated to do so) and be pretty easily plugged into and be flexible with different freezers, etc...

    OhmBrew Fermostat Data Loggin

    Thanks a ton! Really appreciate it. I was able to get my data usable through that link. Apparently there is some ODBC driver that is missing from Excel 2011 for Mac that is making it unable to use .xml files?? I'm not sure but I've wasted so much time trying to work this out. I was actually...

    OhmBrew Fermostat Data Loggin

    Thanks for that. I had just pulled a short sample of the logging for example of what I was doing. You have that data in some format that looks useable. I cannot get to that point. I'd like to be able to use the data to make a graph. I'm pretty good w Excel I thought but just can't get my data...

    OhmBrew Fermostat Data Loggin

    Well thanks for the help. I appreciate it. I'll keep working on it. I'm having some fermentation issues in one chamber and I'm convinced my freezer is not working properly. I was hoping to see if it was letting my temp fluctuate more than expected. Thanks

    OhmBrew Fermostat Data Loggin

    I am not changing the extension. I'm just dragging it to Excel. It is Excel for Mac 2011, version 14.4.2.

    OhmBrew Fermostat Data Loggin

    When I try to open in Excel, it says its not a valid spreadsheet format but can open as text in Excel. When I do that, I have no idea what to do from there. Its just a bunch of text and numbers in one column.

    OhmBrew Fermostat Data Loggin

    Hello, Is anyone using the OhmBrew Fermostat and its data logging feature? I am running the latest firmware update. I get .xml files that I have no idea what to do with or how to view in a meaningful way. I would like to be able to make a graph with Time vs Temperature. I will attach a...

    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    Is BrewPi a program? And if so, can you have 2 versions of it on your RaspPi to run two different chambers? Would you have to hook up 2 UNOs? I really want to do this but need to find someway to run two fermentation chambers and my keezer off of it.

    BrewPi build to control multipile chambers

    I'm sure this has been covered before, but I'd like to build a device that can monitor and control all three of my freezers. I'd plan to use a RaspPi, Uno and then a 8-channel relay to control heat/cool for 2 vessels and then cooling for another. My question is, will the BrewPi software...

    Dilution of wort and its effect on IBUs

    I believe you could do that but there would need to be some consideration given to the hop utilization since boiling gravity would be different. I do think the amount of hops needed would be somewhat in the ballpark though.

    Dilution of wort and its effect on IBUs

    Cool. Thanks for that. Seems very intuitive, should have just thought about it for a minute I guess. My Kolsch recipe uses 2 hop additions. One at 60 and one at 15 minutes for my 6 gallon batch. I get about 21 IBUs from the first addition and then 5 from the second. That is getting roughly...

    Dilution of wort and its effect on IBUs

    Looking for a bit of guidance here. We are having an Augtoberfest party next month. I have 5 gallons each of a Marzen and Festbier but just found out the invite list is very large and I need to make about 10 more gallons of beer and was considering trying to do it on one brew day. I just...

    How and when do water additions affect flavour

    Hello there, You mentioned that sometimes you target the 5.2/5.3 range for some styles. I also noted where you made reference to measuring at room temperature (thank you for that, some people forget that detail). I'm just curious how those beers turn out for you. Rough calculations would...

    Causes of low attenuation

    Right on. Sounds like you probably got the pitch about right.

    Causes of low attenuation

    I'm curious about this. "It was London 1968 yeast. I've used it before and always finished much lower than this. I made a 2L starter harvested 1L for later use and pitched 1L in this beer." Can you give any more details here on how your starter was prepared and split? I'm just curious how...

    PT100 Connection to panel suggestions?

    Must be thermocouple wire. Other wire will read something but won't be accurate. The wires from probe to pid have to be consistent with one another and be appropriate for sensor.
