Very simple to setup, download the image, flash onto an SD card and boot, little to no configuration required! Instruction on how to setup your iSpindel included. I've kept an SD card just for that purpose now. Not that I use it that often, it's just easy to put card into a Pi, boot and start...

This is a plug and play version of the iSpindel-TCP-Server iSpindel - Lokaler Server - iSpindle.py - hobbybrauer.de. I found it very usefull when calibrating. Just set the iSpindel to report on a 30 second cycle and then plow through the data over a coffee. Chris

Started with Boots kits in the 80s, beer and wine. Made some wine from fruits and flowers from the Boots brewing book (which I just found on the book shelf), which were with hindsight disgusting. Found a local wine circle and received advice that pointed me in the right direction for making...

Can you add BS30 8DB please.

I did a VineCo 30 bottle Shiraz a few months ago, but I added too much water ( don't ask!), so to recover it I added a Califonia Connoisseur 6 bottle Cabernet Sauvignon. I have to say it was bloody marvelous! A bit too oaky for my taste when newly bottled, but is settling down with time. In...

If you just want to control the temperature then InkBird or ST-1000 are easy to implement and don't require much configuration. If you want to monitor and/or log your fermentation then there are a couple of alternatives but require more involvement. I've built 2 controllers, an STC-1000 and...

The E is power of 10, so 10 is 1E2 and 0.01 is 1E-2, so you could remove all of your leading zeros using this. Chris

@kelper As I didn't take the OG (yes lesson learned) I can't be precise, but my best estimate a total sugar of around 1300g, so ABV around 14%.

I thought I'd report in on my little experiment. Very interesting excercise and one well worth repeating! I kept on feeding when the SG got down to 1000 or thereabouts with 50g dextrose. When the SG didn't fall anymore after adding the sugar, I stoped, added stabiliser, finings etc. When...

I'm going to test a few variants of vacuum pump when my next WOW completes. Just waiting to get a length of tubing to hook up a small pump. I'm also seeing how I could hook up a Vacuvin pump to a glass demijohn. I've found a small vibrating motor, but not sure how I could use it yet, going to...

There may be better ways of getting lemon scented beer?

Sorry don't want to hijack this thread with my issue, but... Currently using KwikClear usually with great success, that is, if the the wine is well degassed it clears in a day or so, but if not, then a week. I just need to persevere! Still going to tinker with a vacuum pump and maybe a...

For some reason that I can't fathom, degassing wand doesn't seem to be effective for me. I've purchased a wand and tried the modified coathanger. Should be simple/easy, fit into cordless driver, pull trigger, reverse, repeat. Tried running for a minute, two minutes, etc. Not had anything go...

I often struggle to degass my wines quickly, tried many things since returning to homebrew, only thing that I can guarantee that works for ME is vigourous shaking over a couple of days. I'm really curious about using a vacuum though! When my next batch is ready, I'm going to try using a small...

Oh, that looks interesting...

@Wherrypuzzled Have a look on ebay, there are a couple of people supplying ready built. @gingerneil had a couple for sale on here, drop him a line see if he has any left.

@mancdaz Two sites for batteries that people recomend: 18650.com torchy.co.uk For the accelerometer look for sites with a large amount of sales of similar items, last batch I purchased was from worldchips, I've purchased various ESP8266 modules and accessories from them without any issues...

@mancdaz I couldn't find another source of the Petlings other than "The Lituanian Ebayer" either. If you do find another source please share that information! For the batteries, the important information is that the seller lists the weight of the battery, if they don't list the weight (approx...

@mancdaz I've built with the sled, Cherryphilip and OpenSourceDistilling and for me the OSD one wins: The assembly is much the same for each, nothing really splits them on this ground, they use the same components after all, only the PCB manufacture differs. When it comes to calibration...

If I remember rightly it had a round red base that was weighted, top part was white and had the raised SG scale.
