    Great video! I've been using a handful of iSpindels with pretty good results. The calibration really is tedious, but it was a good price and since moving from beersmith to brewfather, seeing the data is way easier. If you have a spindel, give GravityMon a look. It's much better than the stock firmware.

      I'm a bit late on this, but great tips. I'll try to have a look at GravityMon when I have a chance. Cheers!

    Love the cost justification! I’ve broke so many hydrometers (easily over 10) where I just went with the easydens! Haven’t broke that yet so I’ve already saved money! Great video as always!

      An Easy Dens might be in my future, but I think a ways off. They look great though! Cheers!

    Love this breakdown, i've always looked at the price and thought no thanks but you brought up some good points here to make me consider getting one!

    • @PartyTimeBrewing

      Definitely kind of pricey, but I like them. Not quite an Easy Dens though... Cheers!

    Pro tip: if you ever need to replace the battery, any vape shop should have them. They're "18650" batteries
    Great video btw! As usual

    Ha you got me with the break ten and it is paid for. I actually keep two glass ones around just because I have broken so many and been left without one. Though they both read differently which is not a ton of fun. Rapt pill is looking pretty good after your comparison. Cheers

    • @PartyTimeBrewing
      @PartyTimeBrewing  Před 2 lety

      Pretty much the same here, a few glass ones sticking around just in case, but liking these digital ones. Cheers!

    When calibrated I read the instructions as that it’s best to be gentle when opening/charging the Ispindel. Since the calibration can be off if it’s moved out of position in the petling.

    • @PartyTimeBrewing
      @PartyTimeBrewing  Před 6 měsíci

      For sure, I've just put a little mark so you can tell the position of the cap, but I guess it would make sense to even mark the orientation of the device in the capsule. For the most part, I just use them to see when they hit terminal gravity, even if that gravity isn't perfectly accurate. Cheers!

    Soldering the iSpindel yourself has an extra wrinkle, which is leaded solder. I personally would really not want to use leaded solder for obvious reasons, but lead free solder is a pain to work with. Granted who knows if ebay sellers are using lead-free either, but hopefully they are and they can deal with it.

    • @PartyTimeBrewing
      @PartyTimeBrewing  Před 4 měsíci +1

      I'd hope it is lead free. Especially since the cap kind of sucks on it (mine cracked pretty quick although probably due to putting it on too tight). Normally it wouldn't hit the beer, but you never know. Cheers!

    Does the DIY ispindel fit into the hole of a glass carboy..

    • @PartyTimeBrewing
      @PartyTimeBrewing  Před 7 měsíci

      No it doesn't. I think the Tilt is the only one that does that (but I haven't verified).

    Hi, can the pill bluetooth talk to my laptop which in conjunction talk to the
    interweb so i can see whats going on online on my phone? cheers

    • @PartyTimeBrewing
      @PartyTimeBrewing  Před rokem

      The pill gets set up with your wifi and then you can log into the Rapt web app too see the status anywhere you have a connection. I believe the Bluetooth was designed to possibly work with other rapt items like the fermentation chamber or temp controller. Cheers!

      It's always best to have backup, 100 more is best, but you might have to dip into all those CZcams royalties to afford them.

    Lot's of misinformation in this video.
    The battery in the Rapt is not "custom". It is an off the shelf 18650. Just like most iSpindels.
    "The more sugars in your beer [sic] the thicker it is, the more viscous it is." Hydrometers measure the density of a fluid, not its viscosity.

    • @PartyTimeBrewing
      @PartyTimeBrewing  Před rokem

      Thanks for the info, I'll take a look at the video within the next days and throw in some corrections. Cheers!

    I've probably broken 10 glass hydrometers lol

    • @PartyTimeBrewing
      @PartyTimeBrewing  Před 2 lety

      Sometimes it just feels good to break one. Even better when you can do the double smash of the hydrometer with the glass cylinder. Cheers!
