So will the UniFlex from BruControl. It can be configured to run two kettles off of a 30A connection, and it can be upgraded and expanded. It's also about $500 cheaper than the equivalent eBrewHardware box. When you pair it with the control software and start using the scripting capability, it...
@RonBurgundy10 Really glad to see you are having success. I have been a BC advocate since I went through my Mega build a couple of years ago, and have appreciated the comprehensive support from @BrunDog along the way. He's built some awesome tools, and I'm hoping that the UniFlex and some...
It's actually a lot less work. So much of my brew day has been freed up for other things. When it's time, I get a nice, mild chime and I know I need to go pay attention.
I also can't tell completely from your posts, but using BruControl doesn't mean developing Arduino sketches. BC is a front...
That's @Die_Beerery's rig. His whole process has been built around BruControl, and is an amazing example of how that software can expand to accommodate the most over-the-top implementation imaginable. The thing is, right in line with Kal's argument, BruControl allows that manual control. The...
I've been through most of a bag of 2-row, a bag of Maris, and a bag of Pilsener since the first of Feb. I'm thinking of starting with replacing that, and getting some Mosaic, Cascade, and Citra.
Add in the wife's garden tools and the household laundry and the kitchen trash and the kid's baseball clobber and you're getting close to my level of clutter.
Automation would give you the ability to plug in a temperature and a duration, and the joy of walking away from the rig, knowing that the temp will be spot-on and an alarm will sound when the time has elapsed. Plenty of time to dig into the carburetor on the Chevelle or the Adirondack benches...
