    Dumb iSpindel Question(s)

    I don't get the angle in the 'raw data' table (on BrewSpy) but I can see the tilt angle in the popup data for each point on its chart. That is only available from 2024-04-13 11:17 onwards - it seems to show that we are getting a tilt variation consistent with the gravity numbers. I'll have to...

    Dumb iSpindel Question(s)

    Thanks for the caution @RoomWithABrew, I'll check when I get the iSpindel out of the brew. It is waking up and sending every 3 hours at present so I presume it's not got flooded but I'll confirm the tube integrity. Something odd, though. Friday night I changed the battery, put the iSpindel in...

    Dumb iSpindel Question(s)

    Well, I put the new battery in, turned it on and left it in a pan of plain water and it's givern reads of 0.996-0.998 overnight so I'm good with that for now. I've dropped it in a recent brew and will compare what it says with the measured FG when it stops changing. If that's close enough then...

    Dumb iSpindel Question(s)

    Thank you JB, that's a bit more straightforward than a method I saw elsewhere. I'll give it a go. It's still charging up at the moment.

    Dumb iSpindel Question(s)

    Hello, I purchased a replacement battery from CPC Farnell for my iSpindel (I gave up on my previous order after all my attempts at communication disappeared into a black hole) - I now have a couple of questions. First dumb question: How do I change the battery? I take the top off the iSpindel...

    We drive past there quite often on the way to see family in Scotland and I have often wondered why it was originally built (just an elevated cafe? Really??) & what it would be like to be in there.

    Any experiences with supplier 'ispindel.site'?

    I've had an iSpindel since 2021, been pretty happy with it but recently the battery showed signs of giving out (gave up before brew was complete, even after dropping reading frequency right down). So I looked around for am supplier to get a new battery and found https://www.ispindel.site/ -...

    Not Columbia House but I did sub to Britannia Record Club, same sort of thing. Get mailed the Record Of The Month plus freebiesafter you bought enough stuff. Also: used a Silent 700 teletype terminal(dial out on the phone then stick the receiver on the rubber cups when you hear the modem...

    I had three feeler guages - too-big, too-little, and that'll-do.

    Doom, doom .... Aeroplanes falling out of the sky, traffic lights stuck on red, bank systems crashing, ... actually not altogether a bad thing, considering the way things have gone. Not too optimistic about the robots though.

    Aha. Yep - also fails if you are under 23 years old (says you were born in the year 105 instead of 05 etc.) Reminds me of the IT chaos that ensued at the turn of the millenium when computers said the year was 19100 until they got bugfixed.

    Very smart - I see what you did there :cool: I *think* it fails if your birthday is between 1 Jan and the day you do this test but I could be wrong

    Looking at the state of the flue seal I'd be cautious running it in a closed room withput a CO monitor nearby. Honestly, if he was serious he could have spent a few minutes cleaning it up a bit.

    Any self respecting chimpanzee would be most offended to be called a monkey. They'd probably clock you with a crowbar.

    I wish our builders had done something like that when they did our roof - it makes the front a lot neater!

    Drilling a lid for an airlock grommet

    When fitting grommets in other situations I have found a drop of soap liquid helps. Also, when drilling the lid, I would suggest have the lid itself at a cosy room temperature to minimise chance of it cracking.
