RaspBEERyPi

RasBEERyPi is a Django project for monitoring the fermentation process of home brew beer with the Raspberry Pi

Overview

The goal of this project is to utilize the GPIO pins of the Raspberry Pi to monitor temperature and gravity during the fermentation process of beer. Our hypothesis is that the gravity can be measured utilizing a liquid level sensor that is afixed to a hydrometer. Readings from the liquid level sensor and an analog temperature sensor will be utilized and logged to a database during fermentation. Logged data will be available to be viewed via command line and web interface tools provided by this package.

This project is experimental and is subject to change. We will be blogging our progress at http://indianacraftbeer.com.
