I first started this project about 5 years ago but didn't end up finishing it. Always thought it would be a fun project to finish, hopefully keeping track of it on hackaday will keep me motivated to finish.


Goals for this project:

  1. Control the temperature of the fermenter
  2. Display temperature vs time on smart phone
  3. Program temperature profiles
  4. Learn stuff, have fun, drink beer


Additional/Stretch Goals:

  1. Expand feature set to create a "smart kegerator" as well.
    1. Track temperature, pressure, and weight of each keg
    2. Provide LED lighting on inside of the freezer
  2. Keep track of beers fermenting/on-tap with information from BeerSmith
