Re: Recipe Utility making me crazy

Is this recipe utility still in beta testing or is it ready to rip with firmware 4.0? Going to be purchasing a BCS-462 soon and would like to use the recipe tool to import settings at once for different beers. Thank you in advance!!!

Re: Best fluid sensor for RIMS

What type of "fluid sensor" are you talking about? Float switch? Flow switch? Level sensor? I see some RIMS systems with a fluid sensor port and some that split in half that can accommodate a sight glass. If it is manually throttle from the wort grant it can be managed easily enough with ...

I am using dyndns as I do not have a static IP from my ISP. I do notice once a month my range extender needs a reboot but other than that...

What Solenoid to use for Glycol inlet on Jacketed Fermenter'

Running three Glycol jacketed fermenters, recirulating with a Perlick 4410 and setting up a BCS-460. This is the only solen...
