    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    @oakbarn @BrunDog I observe the same thing. If you lock the workspace, close BruControl, then start BruControl, the workspace will still be locked when the software launches but the elements are able to be resized via mouse in the bottom right corner of the element. If you unlock then relock the...

    New BruControl Automated Home Brewery

    Been spending time drawing up BruControl screens and prototyping some scripts for automating the brew day. The background of the valves will change to show the flow direction. The trends tab just has a few graphs but I'll most likely figure that out once I build the system and start using it and...

    (Philadelphia) Kal-Clone HERMS setup with control panel and all accessories - $1700

    I know it's been almost a year, but the equipment is still available for anyone interested. Sorry, I'd prefer to sell everything together.

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    Overall looks pretty good, but some notes below: All of your relay connections should be moved to the normally open contact so that their default state is off and they will fail open rather than closed. Looks like you're missing the AC connections to power the 5V and 12V power supplies. You're...

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    I just updated my post with new control panel and plumbing diagrams for a 30A RIMS setup with CIP. The electrical wiring assumes using the ProductivityOpen hardware (which is hopefully coming soon to BruControl, fingers crossed) but you should be able to merge in the Grand Central wiring from my...

    New BruControl Automated Home Brewery

    This is definitely becoming one of the longest planned upgrades ever, coming up on 2 years now! Probably still have another year or 2 until I'm able to actually start building but I promise it will happen eventually. Anyway, I've revamped everything into a 2-kettle RIMS (with cold water...

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    @BrunDog How goes testing with the Automation Direct ProOpen controller? I think it's a great idea that will allow for better customization to individual needs. I modified my drawings to use it and it definitely cuts down on total space and wiring, not to mention it will have the look and feel...

    New BruControl Automated Home Brewery

    @TexasWine @BrunDog @GParkins thank you for your feedback! I apologize for taking a year to get back to you; between my gf quitting her job and going back to school, the covid mess, getting engaged, and buying a house... it's been a hell of a year and I wasn't able to pursue a redesign or begin...

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    So I've been following this thread for around a year, when I found the system build by @Die_Beerery which then led me to discover the existence of BruControl. I got the urge to redesign my setup to take advantage of the automation capabilities that BruControl offers. I created a separate thread...

    New BruControl Automated Home Brewery

    Background Several years ago I built a Kal-clone HERMS system following his design pretty closely. It has worked fairly well but I think I'm ready for the next step to streamline brewday even more. One of my frustrations is having to re-arrange tubes several times through the course of the...
