Anyone here building, or intending to build, brewing stuff using Arduino?

Well I converted the original Brewmiser code to run on the Arduino (no problems) but using different displays, push buttons and temp sensors (a bit more time consuming!).

Very enjoyable but unlike in the good old days when I was paid a lot of wonga per hour for code now it still takes the same time metric - just no Wonga!

Another thing is that if you thought brewery shinny stainless was tempting (but cost real wonga) just wait till you order a touch screen with about 100 times the processing power of the Arduino!

Then there is USB/Wifi/Net connected/Mobile App/ peripherals just to control your F*K**g fridge!

Modern PLCs/Logic Controllers/touchy feely screens/Rasb PIs/Peripherals are seriously ADDICTIVE

Beware!

Does my fermenter REALLY need to be GPS aware ( only another €5 for a chip and a weeks (free) coding!
Remember: The Nationals are just round the corner - time to get brewing

Of course it does, so it can get local weather and adjust accordingly!
