Bravo! Looks real nice man.
Brewtroller is based on a Sanguino board. They sell the Brewtroller board (soldered or as a kit), LCD, switches, pin connectors, relay boards and continue to upgrade the software and make new hardware as users as for improvements or make their own. If an improvement by a user has merit for mass production Matt and Jeremiah make it available for the masses for the most part. BrewTroller Store
I know nothing about electronics and I was able to build a working BrewTroller, made temp sensors from scratch. It was very straight forward, the members on the BtewTroller forum are a great resource.

That's a beutiful brew rig! What makes me so jealous is that I can get all of that stainless stuff dirt cheap being that I'm in sales selling it all BUT I have no clue on all grain brewing. I'm only on my second batch but maybe some day I will try. On the side note I have seen a lot of people stating how they love Swagelok fittings. You really want Swagelok or Parker if you builging an aircraft for certification reasons but for brewing beer it doesn't have to be that brand. There are multiple other companies that carry compression fittings that will WOW you on price compared to Swagelok (VERY EXPENSIVE)....ex: SSP, Ty-lok, Hy-lok, Hamlet, Kor-lok....and more. Whatever one you do go with, the dual ferrule is the most applicable design. It helps keep your tubing from twisting when you are tightening the fitting unlike the single ferrule design. Same with "Triclover" ex: Dixon, VNE, Waukesha, G&H, Jensen ...and so on, same chit just different manufacturer in sanitary products.
Holy $$$, batman! The flow meters are $454.88 at McMaster System looks SWEET, btw...
Keep up with new technology or become a dinosaur GreenMonti LOL! JK sorry had to chime in on ya.
You did a fantastic job welding! I wish you lived closer I have more I'd love for you to weld. Your a top notch weldor, thanks again!
pickles said:New acrylic control panel with maple background. I cut the pieces out with a laser and sandwiched the two together. The wording is also laser etched and then in-filled with orange paint. I installed RGB LED's that change color depending on the position the switch is in; red = off, blue = manual, and green is Auto/Brewtroller. It's kinda hard to see the LCD in the picture, but its displaying the Brewtroller splash screen. I still have to install the power lamp in the upper right corner. The picture doesn't do the maple justice.
