Well. After quite a bit of reading, I decided to build a Raspberry Pi controlled brewing system.
I decided on using a 2-vessel system with a RIMS tube. However, I'm not using the standard RIMS setup with a heating element inside a tube. I'm following the idea of @weezy on the thread Thermal wire RIMS tube. I'll be building and wiring that up soon,
I've been following the CBPi facebook user group and the CBPi thread here on HBT and started procuring components. Many years ago, I helped build a CNC machine for a custom guitar builder. The computer finally bit the dust (pun intended) and needed to be replaced. I took the chassis and decided to use it as my controller case.
The following photos should help to showcase the progress of the build.
