Raspberry Pi brewery controller

Post by PMowdes »

Came across this a few days ago. >> www.brewpi.com


I'd heard that you could make a controller from a Raspberry Pi but had no idea how. Looks like some one in holland is making kits and selling them.

I havent looked at it in too much detail but looks like it could be pretty cool and relatively cheap.
60 percent of the time it works every time.

That's cool, but a lot of effort to control the temperature of a 'fridge.

True, but surely you could mod it to control herms / rims / hlt as well

Hi I use this and have for 6 months. The rims build not ready yet. But working well total cost was about 80 after adding cables & tube heater etc.

Did you build it yourself? And did you have to buy the Raspberry Pi separate?
