Brewing your own beer may seem simple, however it can get quite scientific and require some serious monitoring and control for a successful batch. Therefore technology can help us, and with the "BrewPi" system you can harness the power of Arduino and Raspberry Pi to build your own version of this open-source system. It consist of an automated fermentation controller that can control the temperature down to 0.1 degrees C, be controlled via the web and log temperature data in Google Docs. With some tools and a little work, you can make your own boards - and hopefully the results should be tasty and smooth. Here's an example of the external data display:
If you're a home-brewer or interested in how it all works, check out the project site. And for more, we're on twitter and Google+, so follow us for news and product updates as well.
Have you been reading about Arduino and the types of projects created, but not sure where to start? Then order one our Experimenter's Kit for Arduino:
The package includes a wide variety of parts, sensors and modules including: a servo motor, lights, buttons, switches, sound, sensors, breadboard, wires and more. Furthermore a Freetronics Eleven Arduino-compatible board is included to make this an extensive hobby experimenter, inventor and starter kit. However we don't leave you alone to figure it all out, included is a great project and instruction booklet, plus access to a supporting web page and software examples. In other words - this is everything you need to get started for a fun range of electronics and Arduino related projects! So to get started or for more information and to order, check out the product page.
