Hi
My name is Richard Page
This Blog site started off as a diary of my progress of tasting Beers in the ‘1001 Beers to try before you Die’ book. It was given as a Christmas present by my late father, Peter Page, who died in February 2012…… hence the year long break in posts. During this year though , I took up home brewing, and the site is now more aligned with my brewing antics …
Cheers Dad

Nice builds on both the BrewPI versions!
One question – if building the particle brewpi, where do you connect the DS18B20 temp sensors? i cannot make it out of the PCB, since they usually have 3 wires, and a 1-10K resistor between signal and vdd.
Hi Robert
it’s a 3 pin molex at the bottom right in the following http://purpleogre.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/brewpi_diy_b2.png
I intend using one of these in my panel build for a HERMS setup that I have planned

I will be starting the build soon and putting it one of these …

Hello Richard!
Are we talking about JP3? And pinout is (left to right on pic) – VDD – Signal – GND ?
If so, how does it work using multiple DS18B20’s on this unit – you have to add their ID, or do you assign them after connecting each one of them?
I’m looking to build controller for dual fermenters, and i see that the function is on the way for the Spark according to BrewPI forums – so i just wondered how brewpi knows which sensor is which when you have one input?
Please drop me an email with info if you have time 🙂
Hello.
I’ve built a couple of BrewPi (Photon) units based on your rev2 PCB. You did a good job there, easy to build and seems like a solid design. I’m no Eagle expert myself, so I’m just wondering if you also possibly at some point may consider making a similar easy to build layout on the onewire SSR boards that Elco? 🙂
