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

[admin]

If so please PM me. There is a potentially very interesting offer in the pipeline.

I was thinking of it, well more RaspberryPi. But I've just got no idea where to start so I keep running away from it.

Was looking into it/thinking about it, Raspberry Pi aswell.

Spent too much time looking at www.theelectricbrewery.com & www.brewpi.com, need to actually work on something (not as complex though).

I was about to go the PID route but a friend of hop Bomb and I reckons that Aruino ciuld be the way to go. Do tell more!

was thinking of getting one and seeing if i could come up with some use for it.  was looking at some youtube videos and looking at the code part brought back some memories.

This has come up a couple of times on forum threads recently....there is a crowd in Belfast developing a smart brewing device and used Arduino for rapid prototyping...

I'm planning to use an arduino as a temp controller for a fridge. Want to use the fridge for largering. Code is written and all. I just have to verify it can keep consistent temperature in the fridge. Unfortunately the fridge I'm prototyping on is too small to fit a FV but it'll serve as a proof of concept and it could be converted into a kegerator.

I PM'd ya 3 days ago

[imark]

Yes.  Brewpi cos I'm lazy.

Why not just wire an stc1000 into the door?
something along the lines of:

LordEoin: Why not just wire an stc1000 into the door?  STC's are good for cheap and stand alone but....

Ardrino will give the ability to cheaply(ish) Trend the entire Fermentation period, Step change the temperature setpoint up or down (largering, crash cooling etc), send you an alarm if the temperature is not maintained within predetermined values. Same  for Mashing/Boiling!     

[LordEoin]

aha, makes sense

Me too!

Do I have to PM?
Include me in the interest list.
