Very nice.

I am in! Who should I contact to arrange the payment? I am located in Norway, so international shipping should be accounted for :)

How's it all going Lael/Masters Brewery? I'm pretty keen to get my hands on your masterpiece! Any updates on progress?

Relax for a bit some bits are still under development.
This kit is a little unique in a few ways:
1. It's the first board to come soldered
2. It's using the Arduino mega
3. comes with cnced case

Some of the bits and pieces Lael is still chasing up are pannel mounts (power in/out, and size is the issue) as he wants to enable multiple elements.
He is also getting into some addition features to use all that extra memory and extra pins.

Hey I aint been out to Laels for a good while (mores the shame, quality beer, top bloke and RIBS! :icon_drool2: ), I have a good idea of some of the extra's Lael is trying to implement, but this is his baby. I know he has put in a lot of time into this before this buy started, as I said above chasing parts that will fit and other development. I won't be taking any credit for any of the hard work, and I recon his to show to the world. Like brewing a fine Lager patience is required. Don't know more. I know when Laels got something he'll let us know.

An update on this as well as adding some more spots. I appreciate everyone is super keen to get building. I will say that the wait will be worth your while.

Progress: I found out the boxes I was planning on using won't laser cut / etch very well. I'm working on cnc options. I don't think I'll be able to etch the front panel like I was hoping to with labels etc (was going to be from the inside, so it would be durable and easy to clean the outside). The upside is that the front was polycarbonate - which is nice and strong.

Power connectors: So I'm trying to get something like: http://www.neutrik.com/en/audio/powercon/powercon-20-a/nac3mpa-1 which would allow higher powered rigs to safely use the controller. (as long as you wire it correctly etc) I orginally thought they would save space, but they are the same size as IEC panel mounts.
Heatsink: It looks like I've found a supplier that can provide the heatsink pre-drilled. If anyone knows exactly how to determine how heat dissipation is calculated (IE - to be able to definitely calculate appropriate heat sink size - please PM me). I'm reasonably confident in what I'm getting but would like to be definite.
Power Supply - I've found a few options for the power supply, including finding a supplier of the slimline supply that Matho originally recommended (unfortunately more expensive than the other type, but may fit better)

The biggest part of ordering all the right parts is not obvious - the power supply size and position and the SSR size and heatsink size determines where you can put everything else in the box. Depending on how many connectors there are... this becomes critical. At the moment I'm planning on 2 power in - 1 for unit, 1 second one for a second heating element, three out - two for heating elements, one for a pump and of course temp probe. The controller will also have a couple of other connectors to control some other bits and pieces. One of which is an automatic hopper (hence my questions around the forum about people's average hop usage per brew and per individual hop drop etc). The PCB is currently being re-designed and then we will need to go through testing of the fab prototypes.

All of this to say - the new controller is going to be awesome!

Lael,

I'm sure that I speak for everyone when I say that I really appreciate the effort that you are putting into this venture.....

I'm happy to for wait as long as it takes.
 
Lael,
Let me know when your ready for shiping and packing, this looks like it will be a mammoth task, happy to lend a hand, and we can swap a few more brews.

HI All,

I see that this has mostly been used for 1v setups however I've just started building a 3v - will this kit still work for me to control the mash temp/pump etc?

Thanks.
