    BrewPi@ESP8266, no need of RPI and Arduino.

    Do you supply 5V to DS18B20 or 3.3V? Check this out: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/threads/psa-try-powering-your-uncooperative-ds18b20s-via-5v.731132/#post-10369180 I used 3.3V and the sensors were not stable. After changing to 5V, they have worked very well.

    Of course I did. You need to flash the new version by USB first.

    Kegland Rapt Pill floating hydrometer temperature monitor

    If your are You made your point. Like what you were doing, I am doing something that I want to do.

    I just want to get best result of it, just like that I also want best beer that I can brew.

    Kegland Rapt Pill floating hydrometer temperature monitor

    Finishing another fermentation, I have time to test the Pill again. The result surprised me. The Pill is put in a cup without water, and the angle decreased when the temperature increased. The experiment was done twice. I stuffed some paper to secure the Pill in the second time. They all show...

    Ignore it. That is for pre-built file system that we don't have.

    Fermentis BR-8 dry Brettanomyces Experiences

    I was stuck here before I learned that BR-8 can convert 4VP, 4VG, as well as the precursors into 4EP and 4EG, which both contribute funkiness. For POF- yeast, adding acid rest might enhance the funkiness, I guess.

    BrewPi@ESP8266, no need of RPI and Arduino.

    You might try detaching the temperature sensors. Long ago, my old controller rebooted frequently (not like your frequency though), and I fixed it by re-wiring the temperature sensors. Last week, my controller stop working, but it recovered after I opened the box. I checked the connections and...

    That might because the controller couldn't connect to the network after reboot. The page you seen was cached copy. By the wa, I've run this version for 4 months.

    Reboot. a lot of reboots.

    I compared the source with temperatureControl. The only difference I saw is that in Capping and PTC, the actuator is compared to 'defaultActuator' before 'setActive()', which seems unnecessary and was not done in temperatureControl. However, I don't see that would matter.

    I don't have any 1-wire relay. Neither do I have idea about what goes wrong. The way PTC and capping control use actuators is the same as calling and heating, which uses a virtual "Actuator" class that might be "DigitalPinActuator" or "OneWireActuator".

    Bad efficiency brew day

    Water is lazy. It will find the shortest path, either during mash or sparge. String is a simple yet effective way to avoid channelling.

    They are defined in Config.h, but you can change it in "System" page.

    Kegland Rapt Pill floating hydrometer temperature monitor

    The problem here has nothing to do with stratification. The behavior is the same in water, which has TDS reading under 50. I'll do another test to put the pill in a fixed angle instead of water. BTW, it seems that Pill uses Gyro instead of acceleration sensor according to the information I...

    BrewPiLessGx: BrewPiLess with Touched TFT display

    I found this when struggling flashing the device: https://github.com/janick/WT32-SqLn I think my first flashing was successful, but either it was in download mode or the program crashed just after boot-up. (The bug was fixed later) Seeing no response, I tried another flashing. It failed at 38%...

    Kegland Rapt Pill floating hydrometer temperature monitor

    I've tested it in water to conclude that the tilting angle is smaller when the temperature drops.

    Kegland Rapt Pill floating hydrometer temperature monitor

    X axis is temperature in Celsius. At around 20°C, the tilt angle is around 25.4°, while it is 25.1° at 8°C. For my Pill, that difference is translated to almost 1 point(0.001). It is even worse if "temperature correction for hydrometer" is applied. The temperature is getting hotter, and my...

    Kegland Rapt Pill floating hydrometer temperature monitor

    Changing the report period to 5 minutes, the battery seems to last longer than I have expected. Well, I don't know how long it will be, but it is 71% now after two months. At least 4 to 6 months can be expected. One issue I have when brewing lager is tilt angle drift caused by (maybe) the...

    Please read the "Readme.md" in the project, Custom Hardware section. I would recommend against resistive touch panel. According to my experience, calibration is necessary. My experience might be outdated, though.
