654.5 + 5.5 gal morebeer.com's kit Hefeweizen = 660 gal.

Ah, but I do use MQTT--though I haven't noticed any problems with it as yet. OTOH, redoing the configuration isn't that big of a dea...

Is there any way to upgrade to 1.2.2 and retain your configuration? Or do I need to just reconfigure after flashing?

With Brewfather, at least, this indicates that you've set the iSpindel to report in SG. Brewfather expects it to report in Plato.

I use a 15-gal kettle--plenty of room for 5 gallons of anything (and that's 5 gallons packaged--I aim for about 5.5 gal into the fermenter). I've only brewed one 10-gal batch, of an Oktoberfest with an OG of about 1.055, and I needed about a gallon and a half of top-up water after the mash.

My last beer was a Hazy DIPA with a OG of 1.087, and the total mash volume was a little over 10.5 gal. You could hold a couple of quarts of water out of the mash, but keep in mind you still need to be able to stir it. And, of course, the thicker you make the mash, the lower the efficiency will go.

Woohoo! Sounds like a great update; I'm looking forward to playing with it. I presume a similar one-line installer will be available as for the prior version. Will there be an upgrade path, or does that look more like "blow it away and reinstall"?

145 + 5.5 gal "Vibe Check" Hazy DIPA = 150.5 gal.

I set it to Beer Profile. A Tilt Pro in the fermenting beer acts as the beer temp sensor, a 18B20 outside the fermenter but inside its insulation jacket is the "fridge" temp sensor, and another 18B20 in room air for room temp. And it works, kind of. There are probably ways of tuning out the...

Brewfather user here. I'm also not a fan of subscription-based software, but I pay for BF, the main reasons being that it isn't that expensive and it works pretty darned well. I do not, as someone asked somewhat facetiously up-thread, need access to my recipes 24x7x365--but I do have different...

4723.25 + 5.5 gal "Santa's Revenge" Weizenbock, minus the spices = 4728.75. Recipe:

4567 + 5.5 gal MoreBeer's Pumpkin Thanksgiving Ale (yeah, it's December; so what?) = 4572.5

I'm not sure if this belongs here on in the Fermentrack thread, but it sounds to me more like here, so... Just finished up the beer that was my reason for trying Fermentrack/BrewPi-ESP, a Belgian Quad that called for ramping up 1°F/day from 68°F to 80°F. Since the weather's cooling off here...

I don't know that my opinion is well-informed enough to be worth considering, but I'd be thinking the same: if it doesn't smell "off," and a starter behaves as expected, go for it.

That was fast! But makes sense. Into the freezer they go.

I've been taking advantage of MoreBeer's 12 Kits of Christmas, and ended up with a kit that includes whole hops, which I don't expect to brew right away. I normally store pellet hops in the freezer, but this is the first time I've dealt with whole. Should I do the same thing with them, or...

I haven't actually checked; I was just expecting I could. I'll have to check next time I brew.

I can't say for certain, of course, but I really don't think this is what happened--but it definitely points out the importance of not trying to recirculate over the top too quickly. And also of checking the level (my kettle has etched volume markings on the inside) to make sure it isn't...

Here are the last few logs of the stderr log: Nov 27 2023 20:30:16 BrewPi version received was 0.2.4 which this script supports in 'legacy' branch mode. Nov 27 2023 20:30:16 Bound to TCP socket on port 2280, interface localhost Nov 27 2023 20:30:18 Installed devices received: [{"c": 1...

I'm running into kind of an odd issue, and not sure whether it belongs to Fermentrack or to BrewPi-ESP. I started a fresh batch of beer Friday afternoon, my first actual beer using Fermentrack (I'd tested it with water, but not with actual beer). It's in a Fermzilla Tri-Conical, cooling by way...
