I have been in touch with the seller, who has agreed to send a replacement out, with Ispindel firmware installed. He installed it, but was unable to get the wifi access point to appear, despite pressing the reset button four times. Anyone know if this failure to open the access point, might be...

Nope, it is just the processor pcb, the little beastie to which you have to install the Ispindel firmware.

I may have hit a problem.. Most of the parts needed to get my Ispindel have now arrived, the latest to arrive early this morning was the Wemos, so I thought plug that into the USB and install the firmware. I downloaded the ESP8266FLASHER and the firmware.bin, selected the firmware file in the...

I'm building a V4, once the parts arrive - all due this or next week. I've bought lots of stuff from China over the years, the wait can be frustrating. I am waiting for a couple none urgent items at the moment, one a switch mode IC to repair my bench variable PSU - which blew up yesterday...

It would be handy, if someone in the UK could offer proper a kit of parts complete with PCB. Parts are so much cheaper if ordered in multiples, especially from the Chinese sources and some parts, like the PCB are only available as multiples.

Hi Chris - Yes ordered all the parts on Saturday. I had noticed that pins were supplied, but wasn't sure there would be enough so I ordered more. Any information is helpful - it has been a rather steep learning curve, wading through all the information on this site and others, hence my...

A large wet cloth placed over crates, with a breeze to aid evaporation, can hold their temperature a few degrees cooler than they would otherwise be. Keep the cloth wet. Idea is that the water evaporation needs heat energy, which it will get from your bottles.

These are the Ebay from the UK items I have settled upon, apart from the V4 PCB which I have already been promised. These are not the cheapest source, but suggested to be a quicker delivery than the cheapest sourced from China... Switch SS-12F23 - PCB mount Slide Switches SS & SK range...

Sorry, getting confused, I meant a V4 PCB..

I would seem to have a V5 PCB sorted, now I am looking to purchase the other components. I seem to have found all that I need on Ebay, but I wonder if anyone could check these are the correct items please. There do seem to be several wemos boards, the charger and at least three versions of the...

Might you want to sell it?

Thanks, I understand now. Is anyone offering a kit for the later PCB's please, I don't think my eyes would cope with the breadboard version?

Which version of the unit is the Ebay seller selling please? The seller seems not to know, but the battery holder maybe suggests a V4. Or maybe I don't understand?

That is what I have done - the airlock and just wait for it to settle out. My last batch had some sediment in the final bottle I racked into and it continued fermenting in the bottle. I am trying to avoid that this time.

I have just finished another 5 gallons of white wine and I'm in the middle of racking/bottling. When I get down the the bottom gallon or so, getting the final few bottles out, becomes a bit of a problem to not disturb the sediment at the base of the 5 gallon container. I'm doing it slightly...

New 23L kit of Wilko white purchased yesterday lunch, started at 2pm and it seemed it might be fermenting by the same evening. This morning it is showing much more definite indications of fermenting.

Thanks, that's what I understood. Oh well, try again with a new kit.

Thanks guys for your patience, but I gave up on this a week ago. I found specs of mold forming on the surface of the wine. I dumped the lot, thoroughly cleaned all my equipment and will try again with a fresh kit. One thing occurred to me as a possible cause, that I had not thought of before -...

Thanks, but no I have not made that mistake - I have the correct additive packets still unopened from the kit. It wouldn't account for my latest attempt with the yeast starter in a jug failing too.

Last Monday came with no fermentation, so I added in the white wine yeast. Still no progress yesterday, so I begged some more wine yeast from another source. This last, rather than adding to the 5gal I tried using it to make up a yeast starter in a jug, with water and yeast nutrient, at the...
