Although, when you kitchen brewery you ain't fuck'en around either.

It's all high tech and cunning, don'tcha think? And safe, very, very safe!

And DannyW, I miss Florida for one reason. Rain! My god that kills me out here in LA, we get rain for like 2 weeks a year. This year I think we had less than 2 inches!

I really liked brewing in my kitchen, the speakers are better, the brewing smells linger and the cleanup area was closer. But alas, hitting boil was difficult and sometimes not even possible. And boil-overs suck.

So, it was outside for me. Here is my makeshift "tiered" setup. The bbq side burner works well for heating up the HLT, the circa 1955 step stool is the perfect height for the mash tun.

I am using a parallax propeller microprocessor, here is a link.

I really love this microprocessor, it has 8 seperate processors that each run at 80Mhz, 32 input/outputs so I can control and monitor just about anything

for the temperature probes I am using ds1822 digital 1-wire sensors. With a microprocessor I can add as many sensors as I want all to just 1 common wire and address them individually by a 64 bit address. I have 3 solid state relays to control the asco valves for the gas. The screen is a 2.5" lcd. The Ph sensor I need to change, I am looking at this one right now. I might put this off for a while, it was just doing it because I had a sensor laying around and thought it would be a cool geek factor.
