My guess is that it is accurate and the 1F fluctuations are mostly because you have it taped to the side of the fermenter. If you were to imbed it deeper into the liquid, it would level out quite a...

Looks good. The group lambic I was in on was ~ 30% wheat, so I think you're on track. You might consider adding 5% to 10% carapils for some dextrins to give the bugs something to eat over the long...

Sure, why not? As long as your carboy will fit.

I use a dorm fridge for fermentation. I had to make some minor changes in order to get my 6.5 gal carboy to fit, but it works great!

Yea, too much crystal will come across as sweet and overly caramel.
If you're shooting for a maltier IPA, then stick to the 2-row. Munich could work well as well. I'd probably do the Victory still...

Looks pretty solid to me for a more malt-backed IPA. 1# if crystal is a fair amount, I might suggest backing off that a bit, maybe 3/4#? But I think you're fine either way.
Since you have 2-row,...

That's the nice thing about Arduino, if it can be done, someone has done it (or done close).

Check out Processing. It's specifically designed to software interface with Arduinos (or Xbees, though...
