None as yet Les.. still gently bubbling away in the shed. If i could keep it at 30 degs instead of 25 it would prob be done by now.

This morning the bubbling in the fermenters has slowed considerably, looks like they are nearly done. 3 days with improved stirring and being in my very hot garage has done the trick! One is even starting to get some lacto pellicle growing on it. Tonight I'll add backset to the lacto one and get my still ready for the next round of stripping when the gravity is near 1.000. :happy-partydance:

Thanks bluc, I found them. Awesome project. No worries about Linux, it's my daily driver and I run it on my servers. I also have a few D1 Mini boards sitting around, so I might give this a go for my next rainy weekend project!

Check out fermentrack I found it to be the best /easiest back end for the ispindles..
Check out pcb v4 rather than a 3d printed sled. I think it would be a better option..

Not bad after the initial 40l. So you’re sitting there watching some porn on a Sunday afternoon. :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling: way to go. Can’t wait to hear your results.
