    iSpindel - digital WiFi hydrometer

    Hi yes I've managed to flash the unit but it's not showing up on my WiFi before and after flashing. I've trawled the internet for answers but hitting a brick wall. Not sure if I need the gyro board connected to see the WiFi.

    Best fridge to use as a fermentation chamber

    I've also looked at fermentrack to control the fermentation process. Has anybody got experience on here using this? I like the idea of combining the ispindel, fridge temp and ambient temp onto one system which I can also control remotely as my parents house is 15 miles away from my house.

    Best fridge to use as a fermentation chamber

    Thank you for your advice. I'm off to see one in the morning so fingers crossed the fv will fit in it. I'm looking into building a brew pi and allready have a couple of st1000 so advice is needed whether I should build one.

    Best fridge to use as a fermentation chamber

    Hi, I built my own fermentation chamber back in February this year with heat only and now in the summer months I'm struggling to maintain a steady 18 degrees.

    what's the best water for brewing?

    I'm also interested in looking into water treatment. I currently brew ag IPA and I'm living in Swansea where the water is soft. I've read that the ideal pH would be 5.4 but it's all s bit confusing for me ATM.

    By the looks of it the gyro sensor and temp sensor are mounted at the bottom. This replaces the breadboard and sledge with drawings where to fit all the components. There is no need for any ballasts either. The dimensions of the board are 32mm x 124mm. It will fit snugly in your tube.

    iSpindel - digital WiFi hydrometer

    Looking good! I submerged mine this morning and had water ingress ☹️ I'm going to try and design sled which can be taken out with ease and will not need recalibrating when put back in after cleaning. I'm also thinking about the positioning the gyro board near the bottom with the temp sensor...

    Just signed up to it and entered the token into the wemos. Just got to work out how to find the device on there and display the data. I think a bit more reading is needed lol

    iSpindel - digital WiFi hydrometer

    That's great info thank you pottsworth I just need to prize the Mac off my wife so I can give it a go! I was hoping to get it working by today as I've been busy brewing an American Hbc on the grainfather and wanted to keep a close eye on fermentaion as I've never brewed a lager before.
