Balenaetcher brew how to#
I could blather on about how to put this together, but I think a picture is worth a thousand words. You won’t need this for bench-testing this of course, but using a thermowell for the “beer” sensor is much better than any of the other methods for getting a good beer temp. (Optional but HIGHLY recommended) a stainless-steel thermowell.

For the thermowell, seek out Brewers Hardware: I’ll give you a hint: I got all of these pictures except for the thermowell off Amazon. I’m not going to suggest which ones of these to buy, but I will give you some pictures that, along with the name/description, should be about all you need to find them on the Internet. It is not meant to be “production ready”, it’s meant to show how it works on the bench so that the DIYer can add a case, etc., and use it on their fermentation chamber. This post will share how to put the hardware supporting BrewPi together in the most basic way with which I believe a person can be successful.

Please don’t ask me why your new idea doesn’t work If you are smart enough to deviate from this, you should be smart enough to figure it out yourself.
