Nice work zizzle - inspirational!

 

[ekul]

Do you ferment in the keg at the end?

 

[Zizzle]

Cheers guys. Nah the keg at the end is just for no chill. I was bit short on time in the video, and a bit loose with the terminology for the less beery audience.

We actually have a 3 gallon glass carboy for fermenting.

Anyway, it's making it's way around the nerd sites now:

bandito take note.

 

[kirem]

well done zizzle, some great motivation for me.

I've got a one pot screamer under build atm. I'm using the Brewtroller as the brains and automation from dough-in to wort-at-fermentation temp.

 

[Superoo]

Great stuff Zizzle, a lot of time gone into that.

What type of display is that ?

cheers,
Chris

 

[Leigh]

Sensational work Matt!

So how much and where's the que? On something like this, I'd do single batches and pump one or two a week!

 

[Zizzle]

Plans for what next are probably a peristaltic pump to recirc the wort during the mash.
I have a wifi card to go in it.
Some tweaks to the software to make it fetch the time from the network (it doesn't have a battery backed clock).

The display is probably a phone display. It came with the board. Pretty low res. You can get them pretty cheap: http://iteadstudio.com/store/index.php?mai...products_id=155

I'd prefer to use something like this http://iteadstudio.com/store/index.php?mai...products_id=263

Any build log for your 'bot kirem?

Cheers,

Of the top three entries your application of the Renesas board was the most useful for mankind. :beerbang:

Great work mate

 

[bonj]

3rd is a good result, Zizzle. Well done.
