    CraftBeerPI Brew Controller

    Next question - volume measuring. I was previously using the bubbler method for volume measurement in the HLT and BK and it worked very well. I would like to employ the same setup but I don't know how to do it and I can't find a suitable plugin. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get this to...

    How are you powering the pi currently?

    CraftBeerPI Brew Controller

    Another update (is there a limit? haha) Plugged in my original BrewTroller 3 sensor harness which had wired in in resistors and it works! Is there a way to average out 2 of the sensors? I used to have one on the IN of the HERMS coil and one on the OUT and would average the 2....

    CraftBeerPI Brew Controller

    Alright so I've found the version 3 of CraftBeerPi and have installed that. Seems to be more robust in regards to restarting of the service and even the whole pi itself. However I am still not getting anything in the temperature drop down list. I have tried a few sensors.

    CraftBeerPI Brew Controller

    Hmmmm not sure what's going on. Restarted the whole pi and it came up fine. But when I try and add a temp sensor, there's nothing in the drop down boxes except for "Please select"

    CraftBeerPI Brew Controller

    Hey, Yeah I've got the 1wire interface enabled. Interestingly I was able to add 2 temperature sensors without anything plugged in. I was wondering why I could only add 2 so I changed the type of sensor in the config to 1wire_v2 - which gave me an average and a maximum setting that I wasn't sure...

    CraftBeerPI Brew Controller

    Ok so I manually installed Python - and all is well. It installed and I can browse the web page and set up some of the config. I can't seem to add 1-wire temperature sensors. From the drop down all I get is "Please select" but there are no other options.

    CraftBeerPI Brew Controller

    Hi all, I'm trying to get CraftBeerPi to install and run - but upon running the install, I get the below. After I say yes to "would you like to install wiringPI I get an error: "fatal: unable to connect to git.drogon.net" I'm guessing this is why I am unable to start the service? When I run...

    Fixing an overly bitter coffee porter

    For a 20L batch with about 1L left over (corny keg) I added about 8 individual 40ml espresso shots. Proper espresso, not nespresso or anything like that.

    Fixing an overly bitter coffee porter

    Hi all, I made a delicious chocolate porter - but ruined it by adding too many shots of espresso. It still tastes amazing - BUT - it's WAY too bitter. I know it will mellow over time - but I don't really have much time and would like to drink it in about 3 weeks. I've read some have tackled...

    Weird gas leak - but where from?

    Yeah - which is annoying as it's cost me 2 bottles while I try and track the fault down. Also it didn't do it all the time - which was awful to troubleshoot!

    Weird gas leak - but where from?

    I could hear the leak coming from the high pressure gauge so I took the rubber cover off the high pressure gauge, and the backing plate so I could see the insides. Low and behold there is a leak where the copper tube in the gauge is solder to the bronze block. I have called the supplier and will...

    Weird gas leak - but where from?

    Hi all, I have a gas leak that I thought was either a bag keg lid seal, bad hose clips, bad distribution tap or something else - turns out, it's something else. If I turn the reg down all the way, so much so that the knob is totally loose, and turn the gas bottle on, the high pressure gauge...

    How to keep fridge cold when it's sunny and hot?

    Outside. With silver facing out to reflect as much of the sun's heat. I went and bought some shade cloth and made a bit of a wooden frame to create an air gap. Unfortunately it's been mild temps in Melbourne these last few days so haven't been able to test it haha

    How to keep fridge cold when it's sunny and hot?

    So turns out the silver backed bubble wrap I have actually works really well. I might try and find some more of that. I guess the bubble part creates a small air gap and the silver reflects the sunlight/heat. 36C this arvo and I came home and the fridge was cold and not even running. I do have...

    How to keep fridge cold when it's sunny and hot?

    I'm going to grab some shade cloth from bunnings and make a frame to create an air gap between it and the fridge. Will see how that goes. It's bloody 36C here in Melbourne today - and the same again tomorrow. Will check the STC1000 to see how the fridge is coping in this heat!
