So I have been prepping to make an electric setup that I can use in my basement to get out of the cold of my garage in the winter. I plan on going with a 3 keg build with 2 pumps either way and am weighing my options on control box. I had planned on building a kal clone style 3 PID setup but every time I come into the electric brew section I see post about Raspberry PI builds (Strange Brew). Can anybody give a good pros and cons list between the two setups.
What I think is correct already.
Pros of PIDs
Actual switches you can touch
Cons
More difficult to expand (case space)
Pros of Rasberry Pi
Cheaper?(depending on touch screen)
Easier expansion and layout changes (if you have room inside the case)
Cons
Without screen relies on internet connection (will probably use a screen anyway)
Errors with Raspberry Pi??
