After recharging back to 100% the pill would then stay in calibration mode long enough to be calibrated. Two points, 1.000 and 1.064 being the next brew. Although i calibrated it at 1.064 in the wort after a couple of minutes waiting for it to stabilise, when it started sending readings to my...

Took it apart and checked plugs etc. Battery level on app was 70%. It's now fully charged so will try again tonight and dig out the multimeter.

So tried to do the recalibration tonight, but the Pill is dropping out of the RAPT portal almost as soon as I lift it off the charger (approx 10 seconds) (I connect while it's on the wireless charger). This is while the portal on my phone is in calibration mode, and I've done a reboot and also...

Thanks, I didn't go back to the instructions after I fitted the wireless unit. I have just had another look and will see how I can work this ahead of the next batch. Thanks for your help.

Even after a decent shaking of stuff off the Pill, it's dropped back to reading pretty much what it did when it was covered in krud. Given that the fermentation was almost done when i did the shake, at best the krud was worth maybe 2 points difference.

Certainly a bunch of krausen crud, wyeast 1728 does go off. The pic where you can see red is after a shake, and I've given it another one since. It's changed the reading a bit. I'll recalibrate before next pitch but it does seem to not like the change to cordless. And i did make the coil dead...

Thanks for that. I'll retry this, just didn't want the extra complication of trying to sort this in the midst of a brew day. So minimum 30 point difference recommended?

I'll do this tonight. No dry hops involved, and can appreciate the krausen crud effect might have changed the degree out. Is there a recommended difference between the two points for calibration? My two were 1.000 and 1.004 so wonder if it needed to be wider. I haven't opened the pill since i...

This time it's not even a linear 55 points high, as its now about 12 points high.

Hi @KegLand-com-au -- I've got the RAPT Pill and fitted the wireless charger. I've recalibrated twice, first a simple and now a two-point, but the readings are way off. The first brew I post-fitting the Pill was 25 points low. The current brew after a two-point calibration is now sitting about...

What sort of dried fermentable? You haven't mentioned yeast so I'd guess close to 0%.

Am generally hitting a couple of points higher, partly as my mash efficiency is also high (I have been calculating at 85%). I'm often coming around 500ml-1L low, not a huge deal but I'm brewing 12L batches so it's a chunk in proportion (the calcs are a little hazy as the S40 only has graduations...

Thanks. I've filed the JBA recipe away for when I'm wanting some big hops.

Thanks, i hadn't thought of doing it that way, might give it a try and see what it does for efficiency.

Thanks, it was one of the recipes I used to guide mine, but wanted to skip the corn syrup. Might throw in some cascade at flameout based on this though. And part of the plan with this one is to use Lutra Kveik as I'm trying out harvesting from a previous batch for the first time.
