Building my first keezer. Couple of quick questions: What sealant do you use to attach the collar? Just a normal silicone bath type or something else? When putting the collar on the keezer do you clamp it down or just drop it one, press a bit to seat it and leave it along? I wasn't thinking...

The logic is querying the taps table by ACTIVE taps and ordering by tapNumber. Removing a row does absolutely nothing to the what is returned since its a non ACTIVE tap. There is an ACTIVE column and a unique tap ID (not tapNumber) on the table. Once you kick the keg the ACTIVE flag is turned...

Just a gentle reminder for all you users - RUN A BACKUP of your card occasionally. A few weeks ago I was having issue with one of my taps not registering and after some debugging thought I had it figured out, soldered the connections and retested and it failed again. Frustrated I rolled up...

I found if you go to the taps table and delete the old tap row that is no longer active it'll cascade and remove all the entries in the pours table. You obviously lose all the history of your taps and pours except those that are active but to me it just makes it easier to look at the pours...

Are you suggesting these should be put on the wires right at the flowmeter? I was thinking I'd just put in a bread board between the PI and the wires into the fridge as that would be the easiest.

After first having issue with pours not recording I'm now back into the ghost pouring phase. I've had this as an on/off issue since I first put it together. I thought/think it may be due to my taps being nearly the same height as the top of the keg so any foam built up in the lines tends to...

On Once again Day Tripper to the rescue - thanks. Wasn't sure what I was seeing - seemed to be something with xdotool but that's nothing I'm familiar with. I'll be digging into my setup this weekend - just looking to try to debug a bit while I have a few minutes.

Everything in the DB looks fine (no duplicated ids). Thought I just see if anything is coming back while monitoring so I do this: $ sudo /etc/init.d/flowmon stop $ sudo python /var/www/html/python/flow_monitor.py But when I pour out of a tap that is working I get this: There are no windows in...

My first thought was wrong pin id but looks good in the taps table (although I think I checked the pin id not the tap id so that's a good suggestion). It does register as a pour on pins 9 AND 10 in the pours table when I pour out of 9 and nothing for what should be pour on pin 10 so I'm...

I'm having an issue with one of my taps - its not reporting a pour when I use it but when I use one of the other taps it registers pours to two taps. I likely have something hosed in my wiring/soldering but since was working for about 6 months before swapped out a keg I thought I thought I'd...

Well I've moved it to another tap. No problems as well as nothing on the original tap with the original problem. I think the issue was with air in the line that never seemed to clear. Not sure why I had that problem with that particular beer but now it pours steady and not so much head and...

Well I'm inside a fridge with taps out the door so hopefully temp change isn't all that much but it is an old fridge (although I can check it). That particular keg is REALLY foamy with a lot of air in the line and I suspected that might be part of it. I've also got my taps relatively close in...

Ghost pours I've got a problem where I'm getting random pours of different amounts. Its mainly on one tap and I've recently rewired my system so I'm not yet positive its isolated to one meter. However I've seen posts here before with this problem but don't recall how anyone fixed it. I...

Good idea - haven't had that issue as yet. (knock on wood - although I did have a problem with pin 11 affect pin 10 so I just moved it to pin 5 - likely my shoddy soldering) Is that just setting the default on the ModifiedDate column to Current_Timestamp? I would think that's on the insert...

thanks that did it. I apparently had it installed - I was using phpmysql instead of phpmyadmin. Now let's hope I don't break anything :)

I thought I read somewhere on here about connecting to the DB remotely (through the web interface) but maybe i was just imagining it. How can I connect to the DB? And can I do it remotely or do I have to be on the PI itself. I want to just get in and dig around a bit.

After hosing up the system on the first time around I reformatted the card to reinstall NOOBs and saw the partitions and dropped them and made back into 1 16 gb primary partition. After getting it back up and running I saw the partitions again. In any cases its fine just surprised me a bit...

Well after reading through what seems like a million posts last night I could see the meters registering on the website and updating. Woohoo!!! I've got a long way to go as its all still on a breadboard and I'm just blowing through the meters but all four meters work and update so I'm hoping...
