CraftBeerPi

Community plugins for posting CraftBeerPi fermentation data to Brewfather.

CraftBeerPi is an open-source brewing controller software that runs on a Raspberry Pi, providing automated control of mashing, boiling, and fermentation processes.

The plugins listed below are community-maintained and are not official Brewfather integrations. They were created by Brewfather users to bridge CraftBeerPi with Brewfather's logging capabilities.

These plugins were built for CraftBeerPi v3. If you are using CraftBeerPi v4, check the respective GitHub repositories for compatibility notes or look for updated forks.

Available Plugins

Logging to Custom Stream: https://github.com/jnosek/cbpi_Brewfather/ Posts fermentation data from CraftBeerPi to Brewfather's Custom Stream endpoint.

For Tilt Hydrometer find it here: https://github.com/mowbraym/brewfather Forwards Tilt Hydrometer readings collected by CraftBeerPi directly to Brewfather.

For iSpindel go here: https://github.com/ZeSlammy/Brewfather_iSpindel or https://github.com/netanelbe/Brewfather_iSpindel or https://github.com/mowbraym/Brewfather_iSpindel Sends iSpindel data collected by CraftBeerPi to Brewfather. Multiple forks are available with varying feature sets.

How the Integration Works

CraftBeerPi collects sensor data (temperatures, gravity readings from connected hydrometers, etc.) and these community plugins forward that data to Brewfather. The two main approaches are:

• Custom Stream -- The plugin posts fermentation data to Brewfather's Custom Stream endpoint. You enable Custom Stream in Settings > Power-ups and use the generated URL in the CraftBeerPi plugin configuration.

• Device-specific forwarding -- For Tilt or iSpindel data collected by CraftBeerPi, the plugins forward the readings to the corresponding Brewfather device endpoint. Enable the relevant device integration (Tilt or iSpindel) in Settings > Power-ups and use the generated URL or ID.

In all cases, data should not be logged more than once every 15 minutes per device name.
