There's no such thing as bad beer - some just taste better than others

Coming close to the end of my single vessel brewing system build, ardbir nearly complete, just waiting on a threaded temp probe.

Have to say the features on the ardbir are great and it is a nice bit of kit.

Having an issue with the pid settings at the mo, it takes a long time to hit the last degree even using pobs pid settings.

Looking forward to getting my first brew on over the Christmas

Looks very good Darren
Thanks McMelloW, your build and pobs got me interested in it, looking forward to getting a bit of time to put it through its paces..

I have this sitting in a press at home. It's a project for 2016. At this stage it seems very daunting. If anyone gets the time to put up a guide to, similar to the excellent stc one I would be eternally grateful.

If you can put a pid contoller together you will fly through this. It is very straight forward for a single vessel setup.  I am planning a guide on my full vessel brewing system when it is finished, this will include the ardbir build..

Hi guys

I have created a GitHub repository with all files for ArdBir NANO version including Eagle schematic and PCB

You have two building options: one with LCD mounted component side and other one solder side !

Built a control box for mine finally out of a black brushed steel box from aliexpress. Also put in some override switches.

Still need some proper wiring, to allow it to be disconnected from the ssrs but looks pretty nice I think.
