Mars Attacks - Ack Ack Ack!

So, I just realized I never shared my 3D printed tap handles.. it is still a work in progress as I'm planning on changing out a few, but overall, I'm very pleased!

Quick update: It's taken me longer to prototype the case for all the hardware than expected, but I believe I am finally happy with it and will be able to post some photos soon.. I'm anxious to get my rig back up and running so I can begin real world testing the updated code.

Parts are finally arriving. The relay board is rated for 10A - enough for the 8 switches, but not enough for the heating element. I'm really digging this particular arduino board - it is going to make wiring a snap!

And I certainly still have it!

So I'm still waiting on sample boards to arrive from Taiwan. I don't initially intend to have anything custom created for this and instead use off the shelf boards. This may change depending on interest. In the meantime, I am steadily working on enhancing the application. I am also taking some...

And I'm even going to try to stay awhile! Life has a funny way of getting in the middle of everything.. beer became cheaper just to buy than make! But, luckily, everything has settled back down for me and I've grown the itch again to start producing.. :mug: Glad you remembered me! :)

I settled for more than that, but it still hurt.. What sucked is that I didn't have content insurance- I do now. I'll say that if I ever go through anything like that again, I'll hire a lawyer to argue it in detail for me!

The application must be constantly connected to the hardware. Due to this, it runs from a Windows PC connected to the hardware. Years ago, I worked with the developers of one of the slickest Remote Desktop apps (JumpDesktop.com) for both iOS and Android to add in a special mode for my...

FYI - I've started a new thread for the updated project here: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=592279

A little over 8 years ago, I made this thread (https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=79435). While, I did take a hiatus, my rig has been running strong all these years. I've recently decided to dive back into it and rebuilt it using newer technology and hardware. After analyzing the UI...

I'll be starting a new thread soon for the new project. Am excited to share to get feedback on what else could be added..

I'm taking a poll! Who remembers me? and who would be interested in this control panel? I'm in the final stages of completely rewriting it for a new hardware platform..

I haven't updated this thread in awhile. My rig is still regularly being tweaked and undergoing upgrades. Here is a photo from this weekend after recently replacing all the fittings with tri clover, adding a needle valve to prime the pump, and adding two 3-way valves to divert flow from wort...

Recent upgrades to my rig

Hey there - we've recently started a Homebrew club in Valdosta if you are interested. Here is the Facebook link to our group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/223002937899379/

I've danced around this idea for awhile now.. It is somewhat realistic, but there just seems to be too many variables to sell it as anything less than an entire package that would likely be a fairly substantial investment. Plus, I'm just not setup to support.

I vote for outwards as you will lose the valuable cold space where the door swings into the cooler.. I also remember having the debate on getting locked inside my cooler and we concluded that it would be way easier to kick the door out if it swung outwards instead of inwards.. heh

And finally, here is the wort being pumped into the fermenter through the plate chiller. All these other projects are listed in my signature below..
