Does anyone have any experience with the Fermonitor? I had the thought to build something like this myself as a neat project and didn't even realize this existed.
What I'm trying to find out is what this device uses as a sensor for density measurement. I'm guessing it is either thermal mass flow or capacitance, but I'm not sure if wort/beer is a good enough dielectric for a capacitance device.
Does anyone around here know how conductive wort/beer is??? Would it make a reasonable capacitor dielectric for measurement purposes?
If there are any fellow techies on the boards here that can help I would appreciate it.
thanks
