    Still got some looking for a new deserving home. If nobody wants them for free then I'll have to resort to Gumtree/Facebook :oops:

    Free Boots metal beer barrel

    Yes, a real old Boots beer barrel! It's been in "storage" for s number of years! I suspect it could do with new seals? It hasn't been used for probably 20 years, that's the last time I can remember making beer? Free to collector, or you could offer me some beer in exchange. Collection from...

    Wineworks Wine kit is this normal.

    @RoomWithABrew Let me know your friends details, bound to run into them :laugh8: The iSpindle does sound more of a network issue, I've put an Access Point near by now, still get a couple of drop outs, but infrequently. I do have Fermentrack running on a Pi, but you can also run it on a Vitual...

    Wineworks Wine kit is this normal.

    @RoomWithABrew I have an (well several...) iSpindle and even if it's not correctly calibrated you can still tell when the fermentation is finished when the SG or angle stops changing. Don't skimp of the iSpindle battery, it will save you so much grief! For my control I use Fermentrack, which...

    Wineworks Wine kit is this normal.

    @RoomWithABrew With the half dozen WinExpert Classics I've tried so far, I've found the SG drops to around 1.010 (ish) very quickly and then slows down considerably for the last few days. I've usually left it until the SG stays the same for at least 24 hours. I've fermented my last three kits...

    Wineworks Wine kit is this normal.

    Over the last few months I've done a few 23l WinExpert Classic kits, both red and white and I have to say I'm quite impressed with the quality straight out of the demiohn. I've put a demijohn of each to one side and will go back to them after 6 months to see how they fair. I've tried the On The...

    iSpindel - digital WiFi hydrometer

    @UKSkydiver Not thick or naive, you correctly say iSpindels are affected by all sorts of things and therefore your data is affected. Having said that and as you say it gives and idea of what is going on inside your fermenter. So if you run your fermentation at one temperature through the whole...

    iSpindel - digital WiFi hydrometer

    Over on the iSpindel GitHub pages there WAS a discusion about adding Automatic Temperature Compensation to the firmware. However, as there wasn't any real traction for this wonderful feature and so it's been dropped, which makes me sad. Sadder as I didn't spot it early enough to add my voice or...

    Starting to brew Red Wine again a few questions?

    In the last 6 months I've tried the (30 bottle) VineCo and On The House versions of Shiraz, both were good but I found the VineCo slightly better for our taste. I also added a 6 bottle Beaverdale Cabernet Sauvignon to another batch of each and found it improved to finished result, again to our...

    How to use iSpindel without external service

    @dearleuk Glad you found everything, sorry at work and didn't get a chance to look. I use Fermentrack for my control, but I found this image very useful when calibrating iSpindel. I didn't bother with the most up to date version as this image had everything I needed. Chris

    How to use iSpindel without external service

    Sorry, my bad used the wrong link, I've posted the right one now (I hope). Fermentrack - BrewPi-Compatible Fermentation Tracking Software offers logging and temperature control. However, the temperature used for the control does not come from iSpindel, but from temperature probes connected to...

    How to use iSpindel without external service

    When you download the zip file, there's an image to be flashed onto the SD card and a readme file in english which has all the info needed to get you going.

    How to use iSpindel without external service

    Not sure I put the correct link in, this one is the correct one for the standalone image: HOWTO: iSpindel RasPySpindel Server Image (Vorinstalliert) - hobbybrauer.de. This is not the latest version, but does work out of the box and requires little to no configuration, sorry i didn't read the...
