For those of you with drain valves on your builds what are you doing for dip tub? I have seen bazooka screened outlets for the Braumeister. I have run 2 batches through my build and am currently working on the final details.(currently using auto syphon to move wort from kettle to carboy) Also...

Regarding screen scramble, the unplug work around works. But is there a fix? Thanks for the help!

Thanks for the responses, I am traveling so will give it a try this weekend.

I have to admit the PID tuning is still a mystery to me. Is there a guideline other than what is in the manual or a tutorial people have found useful. Another thing I noticed is you can only set the PUMP STOP to your BOILING point setting not above. So even though I have DURING BOIL set ON as...

I finally completed my build and have installed the ArdBir program. All is working well with the exception of the boil phase in atuo mode. In manual mode I ge a strong boil and reach a max temp of 209.8F. In auto mode if I set the boil temp to 210F it never reaches it so the boil timer does not...

compiling the dropbox version did the trick. I was able to successfully compile ArdBir! Thanks

I have been trying to get the ardbir sketch to compile but I am having trouble. I was able to get past most the errors by moving the .h files to the Program Files (x86)\arduino\libraries directory, creating a directory for each .h file and placing the file in the directory, I am left with the...

Ok Lael, here are some pictures. It may be hard to see given the nest of wires, but see if it looks right. I just want confirmation on the 220v pump wiring. Jus to orient you to my build the 220v power in is the top right outlet, the middle is for the heating element, and the left is for the...

Arduino troubles. This is my first go at this but this is what I have done. 1) installed Arduino IDE 2) imported OneWire library 3) imported PIDV1 library 4) downloaded sketch from GitHub 5) Opened Sketch in Arduino IDE 6) executed Verify / Compile At this I have received a number of errors...

Finished the wiring on my brauduino control box today. I am running a 220v chugger pump. I wired it directly to the PCB per directions. Is there anything else I need to do? Not sure what the jumpers on the board do. Thanks Jim

Ahh, that makes more sense. Thanks

How do you program if you can't connect the USB?

I am making progress but thinks just screwed up I soldered in the micro match ribbon cable connector and it looked great until I realized with it on I cannot plug in the USB connection. I am guessing it needs to go on the other side of the board. If someone could confirm that before I unsolder...

Regarding Elements on Omega.com it looks lie 2 options work well for me. Given my kettle diameter and wanting to only have 2 coils it looks like I have a max length of 80" or 203cm. I know most use Incoloy but there is a copper offering as well. Incoloy 30 watts/in 3000W 70" $185 TRI-7045/240V...

Thanks mastersbrewery, do most go with Incoloy? Stainless is pretty expensive. Are you in the US?
