My bottle conditioning fridge, which I usually keep in the mid 60s, is reading wildly high. Should it be replaced or adjusted? My bottle conditioning fridge was set at 65F, and one day I noticed that it was constantly running. It almost froze the bottles, yet it showed the current temp at 177°F. Swi...

Temperature probe association. Make sure that you are ramping the setpoint that is associated with your output! Make sure Alt Pid is disabled if you are not using it for this state as it could switch the association. Latest firmware revision? v3.3 had a bug on the upper temperature probes (462 only...

I am writing a completely custom UI for the BCS using javascript. Is this with the focus of controlling a brewing system? Is this something you would be willing to share with others? It would be great to see more details on this, as a simple, easier to program on the fly UI would be wonderful to ha...

I assumed so, but I can't find another point of failure in the programming that could be the problem.

Is it possible that Ramp Setpoint Mode does not work when the output selected is hysteresis controlled? The wiki states: " Ramp Mode works by overriding the temperature setpoint for a given output controlled Differentially or by PID " http://www.embeddedcc.com/wiki/index.php?title=Ramp_Set...

My BCS screens have started "flickering" for lack of a better word. It looks like the computer is redrawing the screen from top left to bottom right. It only affects the Run/Stop Process bar on the far left and the Input and Output display blocks at the bottom. Everything else displays st...

After several attempts, I have been unable to get the Ramp Setpoint Mode to work for crash cooling. I'm guessing I'm doing something wrong, but there are so few settings for that feature that I can't imagine what it is that is setup incorrectly. I have the correct Output checked. I have "Enable...

Is this the only temp probe experiencing this type of fluctuation or are other probes doing this as well? I get fairly good swings on my brew rig as well, but it's the only fridge one with this sort of a swing. It's also the only fridge probe with a cable extension. If it is only one probe, then sw...

I've attempted to find this answer out myself through the wiki, but am still having a hard time figuring it out. Any assistance would be helpful. I measure the temperature inside my cellar fridge by having the thermocouple inside a 500ml water bottle full of Starsan sanitizer. For whatever reason, t...

I'm a little lost trying to get my fermentation/refrigeration process setup. My situation is this: 2 refrigerators for fermentation/cellaring: Primary fermentor : has a ceramic heat bulb inside for heating saisons, or when the ambient temp is lower than the desired temp. Cellar fermentor : This is w...
