    iSpindel Digital Hydrometer

    And still run a wire from the battery then? That would make sense :) Cheers F

    iSpindel Digital Hydrometer

    I eventually got the PCB's but was about 4 weeks. Must have been some hold up ... oh well they arrived but were just thrown in a bag with no padding etc and were rattling around when they arrived. One had some minor damage but it isn't enough to make the PCB unusable. Cheers F

    iSpindel Digital Hydrometer

    The original circuit has the battery connected to the diode connector....is this still the case with the PCB? Cheers F

    iSpindel Digital Hydrometer

    ok, I fired this up tonight and noticed that the Tilt sensor wasn't reporting any values. The temp sensor seemed to be checking in ok though. Noticed that I hadn't followed the instructions to remove the diode on the Wemos...did this and now nothing works :) This is mentioned in the German...

    iSpindel Digital Hydrometer

    Rainy Sunday here today so decided to tackle the first iSpindle build. I have most of the components, minus the battery and weights. IMG_4825 by farsonic posted 15/10/17 at 7:06 PM IMG_4828 by farsonic posted 15/10/17 at 7:06 PM IMG_4830 by farsonic posted 15/10/17 at 7:06 PM IMG_4831 by...

    iSpindel Digital Hydrometer

    I got my cradles/sleds printed on 3DHubs and specifically used Kerry's Hub as the person doing the printing. This guy was fantastic and responded within minutes of me uploading my print request. He ran an initial test print on the sled to make sure it would work before committing to printing...

    iSpindel Digital Hydrometer

    Does anyone have the original EAGLE files for the PCB? I'm looking to get these made elsewhere as the linked supplier is super slow.....

    Moad - which sled did you end up getting printed to work with your set up?

    iSpindel Digital Hydrometer

    Do you have any of those switches surplus? I'm looking for three...looks like you need to order 10. Then again, it is only 99c :)

    iSpindel Digital Hydrometer

    Just ordered some PCB's for this .... do you happen to have the parts list needed? I'll look to build a few of these :) Ordered most of the components tonight also. I'm horribly confused over which containers to order and what the matching sled is I'd need to get printed. Can anyone suggest...

    CraftBeerPI Brew Controller

    Pete - did you replace the Arduino in your mathos with a Raspberry PI for this build? If so I'm keen to know more about how you did this? Cheers F

    CraftBeerPI Brew Controller

    Can I use a standard solid state relay for this or do I really need to use a larger mechanical relay for controlling a Crown Urn? I have a few sainsmart 4 port relay boards I could use for this purpose? Any thoughts? FP

    Building new bar

    I think we all second the suggestion by Stu! I have a huge cathedral ceiling where the bar is, so it is going to a bit of an engineering challenge.... I've emailed the manufacturer of the fridge asking for a manual and will try and get a look at one of these before purchasing and will probably...

    Building new bar

    My existing home bar area is in line to be completely ripped out an replaced. I'm thinking seriously about putting in a 3 door commercial fridge, something like this -> http://acesolutions.com.au/three-door-stainless-steel-bar-cooler/ This is going to take up 80% of the under-bench space that...

    The Brauduino (Matho’s Controller) Build/Advice/Question Thread

    Have drilled a new hole for the temp probe and going to simply leave the urn at maximum. This way I can see how it goes and keep the protection circuits in place for the Crown element. Will see how this goes and then if needed make some modifications later. Now, to try and screw this temp probe...

    The Brauduino (Matho’s Controller) Build/Advice/Question Thread

    Just finished wiring up my Brauduino and now to install the temperature probe into my Crown Urn. I've decided that installing the probe underneath is the best option and removed the base to have a look. Given that I'm going to lock the thermostat on full can this simply be bypassed (ie hardwire...

    Fermentation crisis :)

    Thanks - I must be learning something from all this if my recovery procedure was sound. And yes, Cold crash at the end...I was hoping that after being away for 10 days that I'd be about to get to my cold crash :) Cheers F

    Fermentation crisis :)

    Hi there, Thinking I was all organized for a change I fermented a batch of wort in my temperature controlled fridge while I was away on holiday for the last 10 days. I use a Keg King temperature controller which was set to my desired fermentation temperature. Somehow along the way (probably...
