Assuming it’s the LED on the gyro, some people remove it to reduce battery usage, I’ve always just left it. No idea why anyone would paint over it.

Maybe give Brewfather a try? It’s not free, but it’s a really nice “all in one” software

If you have more money than time, I’d go with the tilt. If you have more time than money, or like the process of tinkering, I’d for for the iSpindel. I have a couple of iSpindels, and would get them again, but I’ve got one which I must have put away damp causing the switch to corrode, and...

Mine occasionally misses uploads - I believe it is because the wemos only has a short window, so if it doesn't manage to connect to wifi it gives up for that upload. There is a dedicated Facebook group for the ispindel, it might be worth asking in there. One bought - if you're drawing...

Do you have 3 resistors or 2 resistors and a bat43 diode? I believe that connection from d0 to rst is what controls the board going into deep sleep. If you have 3 resistors, maybe try the diode, or check the diode is the right way around.

Yes, you understood the question right, and thanks very much for the answer.

Thanks again for this, keeps being useful every time I come back to it! How would you tie the addition of CRS back to the rest of a water profile? Unfortunately brewfather doesn't have CRS as an addition, so should I just use a salifert test and adjust alkalinity, then take the rest of the...

Does anyone have one of the ~25l Guten / Angel homebrew / klarstein stainless fermenters, and also an SS brewtech bucket? If so, are the lids cross compatible?

I made one with: Intertap growler filler attachment 1/2” hose, jubilee clamped at intertap end. John guest 1/2” barb to 1/2” straight John guest 1/2” to 3/8” straight reducer 3/8” beer line Ss brewtech 7G bucket bung from malt miller (think it’s a number 2) The beer line fits snugly into the...

One of mine reports direct to brewfather, the other is connected to my brewpi running fermentrack to control the temp, which then reports to brewfather. Brewfather permanently stores the temp & SG graphs with the rest of the recordof that batch. I was previously using BeerSmith, and largely...

My equation (in Plato for brewfather) is: -0.000005343*tilt^3 + 0.005028252*tilt^2 + 0.000356375*tilt + -6.13780388 My brewpi accepts a much longer equation (brewpi just reads angle and does the calculation itself), but 4 significant figures seems like plenty. I’d expect the degree 1 to be...

There is a full parts list here, and they make a PCB. The same parts list will also work with the cherry Philips iSpindel 4.0 board from PCB way https://www.opensourcedistilling.com/ispindel/

Unfortunately both of my batteries are currently in batches of beer, but google suggests they should be about 45g. You also have the older V1/V2 Wenos which may we’ll be a few grams heavier. try sticking 20g of ballast in the bottom and see if that helps. Alternately it might be worth trying a...

Which size tube are you using, and is the board snug in there? Have you done the sensor calibration in the maintainence page (not the full iSpindel calibration, this one just makes sure it reads flat as flat) What angle are you getting? Have you got a picture?

I used to have a 7G fast ferment, and got rid of it when I ran out of other things to try to stop my hoppy beers oxidising (I was hugely sceptical that plastic permeability could be the issue, but I ran out of their suggestions). I still have the 3G one which is OK for half batches, but the...
