Nice work! What other projects to you have planned for the Brucontrol?

Update - I bought a couple things for my new build and had no issues at all. Took a few weeks to get but saved some $$ and am not in any big hurry. Definitely will buy from AliExpress again.

Brundog - great info and a perfect coralation to the other thread regarding documentation wants/needs. I had no idea this is how Bruncontrol and the micro-controller interacted. Thanks

Automation can be achieved at so many levels. Take any step in the brewing process that you find tedious and it can be automated to make the day a bit easier and worry free. Most people don’t fully automate their breweries, but plenty have automated temp control of strike water, mashing, boil...

It’s reaction from folks like those that encourages me to defy them :) I’ll contact Allen Gu, if anyone wants in PM me. Thanks again!

Nice work Augie! Will you be using the hop spider from now on? Also, whatever happened with the idea of a TC wave element group buy i read about earlier?

I have an Anova also. Love it! I made a ribeye roast yesterday. Rubbed heavily with salt and placed uncovered in the refrigerator for a few days then vac sealed and into bath for 7hrs @ 133. Then seared on a super hot grill. It turned out great

Was rereading this thread in preparation for rebuilding my system with Brucontrol to replace my original BrewTroller and found one of your statements curious; “This design is original, it’s mine, and I don’t want anyone to copy or use it for commercial purposes without my permission.” Your...

I read MOST of this thread so forgive me if i missed the answer to my question. Has it been determined that DMS not an issue?
