3V RIMS Brew Rig

Are you planning on making it more or less fully automated? Those motorised ball valves have had me interested for some time now..
 
This rig was fully automated, andytork the original owner and builder of it was able to put a beersmith profile into the Arduino and it would brew the batch automatically......

It's currently only manual ball valves (current state here http://cdn.aussiehomebrewer.com/uploads/albums/gallery/album_1106/gallery_15839_1106_543592.jpg), two pumps. I plan to start integrating the control panel back in but to be honest unsure I'd ever use the motorised valves as I like the manual side of valve control.

Step 1 is to integrate the air bubbler level sensing back into the HLT and Kettle so I can accurately measure the level on a digital readout.

Step 2 Integrate the mash control back in, then potentially boil control (although I have a 3.6kW and a 2.4kW in the kettle and using either the 3.6kW for single batches or both for doubles and 2.5 size batches gives me a good boil off, so probably no need to tweak the power output for the boil).

Step 3 I'd like an interface showing the rig with the parameters displayed and easy control of set temp etc etc.... ahh it's nice to have future plans, LOL.
