I am wondering if this controller would be capable of controlling a Brutus 20 type system.
That's what I'm thinking, using this controller on a combination HLT/BK.

Posted a video demoing the manual mode on the picoBrew eBIAB controller. This is my first attempt at a video and I have a cold, so please don't hate on me.

honestly I find this seems to work as well as my manual mode...I sometimes do this as well.I don't think it needs to be that complicated. You can set the boil temp set point on the fly. So in my case I normally run around 212 for a pretty good roiling boil. If it appears a bit too aggressive, I back it off to 211 or 210 and the controller/element adjusts appropriately. In manual mode on the heater, using the up/down arrows on the touch screen adjusts the power %, and performs the same effect as turning a dimmer knob up and down.

I am trying to build a two vessel Brutus system - Brutus 2.5
Two vesels, one pump, one heating element.
Mash tun
HLT/Bk
Any chance that would happen ?!
I love the menu driven idea !

The best way for that to work would be for the picoBrew to have editable steps. Then you could add a pump step that would do the transfer/recirculation between the two vessels. You would still need to manually move the temp probe though, because it only has one temp input. Other than that, I believe everything you would need is already in the picoBrew. For now you could manually operate the pump on/off as needed and move the probe between the pots.

Anyone know if this is something the developer maybe considering?
I just got my system in the mail...any idea how I can add a gfci to this system. Was planning on doing the 3 to 4 wire spa panel but the input on this system is only 3 wire so now I am not sure what to do.
After some more discussion he decided to work on developing firmware that allows customizable steps. I think this is great news and I'm looking forward to seeing what he develops and testing it out.
