Smaller Batch Brewing with CraftBeer Pi.
Increasingly I get the urge to brew small batches of 10-15 litres just to increase the variety of beers I have available.
However time and effort bite into my little plan, whatever I do has to a large extent be "set and forget" which is were CbPi comes in.
I have a spare 3B+ and a lot of hardware that might be reusable in such a system that includes a low density element, pump, SS fittings...
What I'm mulling over is a two vessel kettle rims (Counter Top Brutus 20/Blichmann BrewEasy) used with full volume mashing, I'll live with the lower efficiency.
I'd go back to BIAB but removing the grain makes the automation much less practical
However I'm open to the idea of other simple systems, easy to clean easy to use etc.
There must be options I have not seen or thought of so if you can think of something more suitable please suggest it.
Thanks All.
