System for controlling and managing a home brewery

In this day and age we are seeing an ever increasing number of devices being connected into the internet, that were traditionally standalone industrial systems s. As part of the new wave of the internet of things we have developed a technology stack of interconnected solutions to control the brewing process. The OpenTheBrew stack consists of an Android user interface, PID regulator and an HTTP server, both running on the open source Arduino Uno platform, that is connected to the internet via the Arduino Ethernet Shield expansion board. All mentioned elements of the stack work in conjunction with a temperature sensor and a SSR relay, with the intention to give the users a simple way to set up and control PID regulation. For maximum user comfort we can set up regulation recipes, that regulate the water temperature during the brewing process, according to the user's needs
