This is a really cool system, I want to do some sort of computer controlled system. Is there any way I could email you (or if you have aim or something) and pick your brain?

Awesome setup. Thatnks for sharing the brewday with us!

Does the fully automated system take away from the "hands on" fun you get from a non automated system? I mean the whole building the system is one hell of a hands on system, and it makes everything a little more easy to control variables, but It seems like it would make it a little less exciting to brew with a system like that. Just my thoughts as I have never brewed with a controlled setup like yours.

To some degree I would say it take some of the fun out of it, but I do enjoy very much being able to create consistent repeatable result and the build was a freakin ball.. I also have the option to run the entire system manually should I choose via the manual override panel..

My second all grain brew session today - also did Ed Wort's Haus Pale Ale. Seems to be quite a popular brew around here, so I figured it'd be a good one to get my new system dialed in with. Last week was my inaugural brew with my new set up (Biermuncher's Centennial Blonde, another quite popular brew). A few minor tweaks this week, hit all my temps and numbers almost dead on. Just pitched. Great fun! And now the hard part, waiting to taste it...

Enjoyed seeing your photos and your rig! Something to aspire to.
