I’m in!

I think one o-ring is still missing, it should be red.... No leak with it!

So, here I am! After 5 batchs I got one original stc-1000 in oredr to have more automation. First I programmed the stc-1000 connected to an Arduino Uno, the OVBS software was my choice. Changing from stc-200 to stc-1000 in the Grainfather box was quite easy, I had only to be sure about all...

Hi everybody, just few word to show You "problem" and "solution"! https://flic.kr/p/zwXqFW

I have a double mill but everytime I change malt I check the mill again to make it working great.

Well....I don't think so but You could be helped by someone putting the GF on some kind of improvised stand and then You can reset it. Hops problem: because I use pellets, hop's bags are strickly recomended! Without bags hops could stick somewhere in the chiller and....

Push the reset botton at the bottom of the GF, it should work.

Of course yes!

Already ordered, it's on the way! Also, all needed components for ArdBir are on the way and... Ok, my first batch got the FG BUT...still fermenting! One more day, gravity went down of 1 point, when it will be stable I will bottle the batch!

I had the same problem with the Specify Gravity reading. I think it depends by the refractometer reading (it was the first time) or by a wrong sparging. Sparging should be slow but not too long in order of being effective. Next time i will rise the mashing water volume and reducing the sparging...

Hello! I saw the Alva project, looks much better than ArdBir but I guess they work with same components and same software. Probably ArdBir has more languages programmable (I'm Italian but GF is sold worldwide). I think that with less than 100 € (about 100 $ US) is possible to buy all components...
