Cheers Scomet, will keep it as it is

Hi guys, I put a brew down a few days ago and it's fermenting nicely. I have an extra 100g of Kohatu, and 15g of Centennial left over. Do you guys think I should up the dry hop? From what I've read Kohatu is fairly mild. This is my first recipe from scratch. I normally just copy recipes I find...

Real_Beer, thanks for that really helpful post. When I ran the test with the serial monitor it was with the probe plugged into its socket. Tomorrow I will try switching the two wires around for the temp probe. Fingers crossed! I have a suspicion that maybe something is going on with my circuit...

Just an update, I followed these instructions https://randomnerdtutorials.com/guide-for-ds18b20-temperature-sensor-with-arduino/ but changed to read from pin D7 on the arduino to test the DS18B20. Serial monitor works fine and displays the current temperature on my computer monitor. Anyone think...

Well it was working. But now when i turn on the temp says 0.0c. When I plug the thermometer in it goes straight to 84.3c and doesn't respond at all to temp changes. When I unplug the thermometer it remains at 84.3c. I've reloaded software, and checked soldering on plug. Any ideas?? I went from...

Hey mate, nope I checked everything and all clear. Also thought it might be due to some interference issue so moved the SSR away. Anyways, I changed the LCD for a 2x16 one and reloaded the software. Seems to be working fine with that display so im picking the old one was dodgy. I'm a big fan of...

Hey guys, Just finished my Ardbir box. Thanks to everyone for all the great info. I ordered the PCBs from pcbway, by terragedy ones, cheers for making them available. When I put power on it works fine, then after around 10 seconds the screen fills with white squares. If I’m i get to manual mode...

Good point Reg. drilling sounds the way to go, I think the slots would definitely open up. Yea I could buy a pre-made system, but I like tinkering and I have access to a grainfather for the time being so there is no hurry. Will just carry on and see how we go. If it works out I'll post some...

Sweet cheers man. Gonna carry on with it so will see how it goes. Unfortunately we don't have big W here in New Zealand. I was a little concerned about using a plastic bucket, but figure it can't be any different than using an esky style mash tun. What's your thoughts on this?

Hey fellas First post here, but been doing a bit of research on this site, lots of good info! I'm currently building a 1V recirculating system from an old 50l keg and basing the design off a QldKev thread from 2012. Yesterday I installed the element as low as I could to allow me to still...
