So, I have to be honest...there are a lot of automation threads and most seem to be fully automated or not at all. I know I want to get there some day, but not at this time.
My goal is to slowly move into the automation side of things and I have only been brewing for about 2.5 years.
My equipment:
3 vessel w/propane on HLT and BK
2 MKII pumps (wired to light switches for easier control)
1 fermentation chamber (deep freezer)
1 Keezer w/4 kegs
I currently use Raspberry Pints for my keezer (without flowcontrol).
I have an understanding of basic electronics, but no experience with circuit boards, etc. I enjoy DIY projects and looking to do the following (prioritized in order):
1. (within 2 months) Automate liquid flow on brew rig and remotely control (and automate) fermentation/keezer temps.
2. (within 6 months) Monitor HLT, Mash tun, and BK temps
3. Further in future...control these same temps.
I am looking find out what is best to get and how to set it up.
Thank you all.
