Deep Six Brewing System - v2.0

Ever think about releasing it as open source for us other coding beer hobbyist ?

I love to tinker as well, and I'm a gadget fanatic, so this is quite the setup. I've used the labjack before in tandem with LabView software, so I was investigating to see if anyone had used that type of system to control relays, etc. It's nice to know it's been done, so even though I don't care to delve into the software develipment aspect, it seems that it could be a viable solution for someone like me to create an automatic brewhouse system. Now all I need is time and money to put it all together

I haven't updated this thread in awhile. My rig is still regularly being tweaked and undergoing upgrades. Here is a photo from this weekend after recently replacing all the fittings with tri clover, adding a needle valve to prime the pump, and adding two 3-way valves to divert flow from wort recirculation to sparging without exchanging hoses. The open valve goes out to the boil kettle..

Second the open sourcing. Sounds like you don't really want to deal with merchandising the software (very understandable) - but releasing the code to the community would be a big gesture.

I'm in the beginning of going electric and researching various ways to do so - Kal's excellent site, something like what you've done.. trying to figure ways to save some bucks but not bite myself. I can put together computers and stuff, but am not a coder.

Anyway - most excellent work here! Thanks for sharing what you did. /jd

I didn't see this in the thread. What did you use to insulate your MLT?

I'm taking a poll! Who remembers me? and who would be interested in this control panel? I'm in the final stages of completely rewriting it for a new hardware platform..

I remember you. I was sad when your brewery went for a swim. That control panel is amazing.

Wow talk about a revival! Well I subscribed originally because I was interested

I'll be starting a new thread soon for the new project. Am excited to share to get feedback on what else could be added..

I though the old system was a two vessel system. (May be confusing it with another brewery)What made you go to three?

I remember! But going to have to go through it all again and I'll post whatever comments/suggestions I think could be helpful. Cheers and welcome back!

FYI - I've started a new thread for the updated project here: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=592279
