Hello,
I have started planning an advanced homebrew/pilot brewery. I'm looking to up my process control game by a bunch, and I've given some hard looks to both PID and Arduino/R-Pi controlled systems. Still not sure how much automation I want to use.
I've visually debugged the attached block diagram as best I can, but extra eyes always help. The 3-way valves could be either manual swing arm, or if I wanted more automation, electrically controlled. My target batch size is in the 15-20 gallon range.
Also...Has anyone had any experience renting out their brewery? With a layout like this, I'm wondering if the local pros would be willing to pay for recipe development time.
Thanks in advance for your input/advice.
