A handy how-to for building a homemade homebrew setup with Linux, Python, and the Raspberry Pi.

I started brewing my own beer more than 10 years ago. Like most homebrewers, I started in my kitchen making extract-based brews. This required the least equipment and still resulted in really tasty beer. Eventually I stepped up to all-grain brewing using a big cooler for my mash tun. For several years I was brewing 5 gallons at a time, but brewing 10 gallons takes the same amount of time and effort (and only requires slightly larger equipment), so a few years ago I stepped it up. After moving up to 10 gallons, I stumbled across StrangeBrew Elsinore and realized what I really needed to do was convert my whole system to be all-electric, and run it with a Raspberry Pi.

    Alright, here's the rest: his first ten batches will be piss, owing to: sensor failures, switch failures, programming errors, wiring faults, or any of the traditional spoilers-of-beer, or a combination of these things.
    De-bugging will take between one and six months.
    In the mean time, he will go back to brewing with his old equipment, which will not have been cleaned quite well enough, and will therefore also produce undrinkable swill for several batches, until, in desperation, he cannibalises both systems in a frantic attempt to make one drinkable batch.

    Also, he will discover that several of his "friends" only liked him for his cheap beer, and they will have wandered off, and now hang out at a micro-brew bar, without him.
    But, still, good on him for trying.
    :-)
