No mate, it is Sydney

It looks like the old style where you had to plunge the spear down through the bung, while being careful not to let the spear go and have it embed itself in the ceiling.

Reduced water volumes may not be an option as you will need your strike volume plus enough water left in the HLT for HERMS action and sparging. What about a timer to get it started in the early morning? Dave

Hi Martin, this is a little off topic, but when determining the water/grist ratio do you include every bit of water in the system. i.e. water that may be in hoses, pumps and HX in a HERMS setup? Regards, Dave

Yeh, I have a first year Victoria popping it's head up also. I have 5 varieties in pots this year and now I have to sort out my trellis quick smart!

The phone app is good for brew day when you need to keep an eye on the timers for mash steps/hop additions etc and you busy doing something else but as mentioned the phone is too small for recipe development/fiddling.

Even when US books have both units listed DON'T BELIEVE THEM. I am currently reading Gordon Strong's new book and there are quite a few conversion errors, for example in a recipe he stated 18 lb of malt to be 4.5 kg. I think that metric is so foreign to them they just have no feel for the...

For instance for PCB_5.h we have OneWire ds(8); LiquidCrystal lcd(2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7); // push buttons const char Button_enter = A2; const char Button_start = A3; const char Button_up = A4; const char Button_dn = A5; // outputs const byte Pump = 9; const byte Buzz = 10...

Hi Dave, have a look at the code and you will find the constructor (remember that Arduino is basically C++) instantiates an instance of a LCD class (which is overloaded) with the pinouts you specify (see https://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/LiquidCrystalConstructor). The particular setup is...

Yes, just change which include file for the screen is used in the build. If you don't it will still work but only the top two lines will be used. Dave
