DIY Brauduino System

[changchuyo]

I have been working in a Single Vessel project using the Matho's Brauduino, I have the first version ready to brew and currently I'm working on the next version, my own braumeister clone also based on Matho's controller. I modified the code to fit a 16x4 LCD and changed the language to spanish, I also have the translated code in spanish for 16x2, 16x4 and 20x4 LCD displays.

I found two cheap 43 liters chinesse pots (around US$ 15 each), and started to do all modifications.
