The heat exchanger
08/20/2014 at 22:33 • 0 commentsThe new heat exchanger is going to enable precise temperature control along the whole process, running the following tasks:
* Water tank temperature uniformisation
* Mash temperature control along mash process and sparging
* Two-stage wort chilling, fist stage with network water and second stage with ice water

To-do list
08/20/2014 at 01:55 • 0 comments* Hop dispenser
* New hydraulic and electric setup assembly (almost there)
* Updated Arduino code according to new setup
* Software stack for networked GUI (I guess this is gonna be the hard part)
* Raspberry Pi configured as GUI server

What did I have until a few weeks:
08/19/2014 at 02:57 • 0 comments* Automated brewing system based on a classical HERMS setup
* Same water vessel heats mashing wort and chills boiled wort
* Serial connection CLI (Arduino IDE)
* Still requiring some minor interferences along the process:
- Hop additions
- Fermentor hose connectionThis setup works but I'm unsatisfied with heat exchange efficiency, so I am moving forward to a new setup.
I started writing a Processing GUI but quickly got frustrated because I was stuck in the server machine by the serial connection. My goal here is to have a network accessible GUI so I can access it through other networked devices.
