Hi guys, relative newbie here from the wild bit of wales.
I few years back I started my current job at a company that makes electronic sensing equipment for breweries and biotechnology, so as a joke my good lady brought me a 'Beer machine' home brew kit thing which was hideously expensive and as it turned out, completely rubbish. Used it once and buried it in the shed.
Cut to today and a friend that I've not seen for a while has taken up brewing, its pretty damned good but he won't tell me his recipe. He did however, hand me a spare FV and an air lock and told me to have a go myself. So I've ended up here with a tin of Coopers draught and a couple of kilos of brewing sugar on the way and a plan to persuade SWMBO to put said FV in a nice warm spot in the house.
If all goes well I have been inspired peoples projects on here to go for something more involved. I'm an electronics engineer by trade and I have a reasonable grasp of arduino and raspberry pi programming so I'd like to get creative with process control.
Having said that, I work with electronic instruments that tightly control the mass production of beer every day so do I want to apply that to my home brew?
Its a moral dilemma!
