Brewing with Raspberry Pi

Post author By wilber
Post date August 11, 2013

I’ve been using a customized auduino for brewing, this was the first mash and boil with the raspberry pi.

A Dallas 18b20 digital thermometer is connected to pi, and a solid state relay is used to drive the new 3kw element.

It is written using node.js, and I have ported the arduino pid library to mode.
