Bokakob with EHERMS (brewing setup)

[theskaz]

Nerd post alert.

Ive been around for a couple years and like to build stuff.

I built an EHERMS system for my brewing rig, and decided to take it a step further:






Removed the analog thermometers and replaced with digital ones, designed a PCB and wrote code to handle both brewing and distilling. There is a slider on the right that changes the power percentage, like a really slow PID.

oh and the buttons turn on and off the boiler element (5500w) and a recirculating pump if attached.

That is awesome! Are you using keggles?

I'm wanting to build a EHERMS setup this spring controlled by a Raspberry PI with touchscreen. I've never wrote any code but plan on getting a Python for Dummies book to (hopefully) learn enough to execute my plans. Hopefully incorporate a WIFI connection to initiate a preheat sequence before I get home since my hometime is limited.

Would you mind posting pics of your setup, MT, HLT and boil kettle? I guess it could be called RIMS/HERMS porn, lol

It's a mess, and an esp12e runs the whole thing with a Nextion touch display

currently doing a cleaning run (and debugging code) followed by a sac run.

after getting the ammeter section worked out, the cleaning run is underway.
