BrewManiacEx is a brew controller based on ESP8266. It was started by mimicking famous Arduino-based Open ArdBir, so most of Open ArdBir functions are included.
- Manual and Automation brewing process control
- PID and PWM heat control
- Automatic PUMP control
The most important feature that BrewManiacEx differs from Open ArdBir is
- WiFi Enabled, Web-based interface You can view, change the settings, monitor and control the brew on your phones, tablets, and computers.
Additionally,
- Multiple sensors support Up to 5 sensors are supported. Different sensors can be used in different stages.
- PID autotune Run the PID Autotune to get the best PID parameters for your system instead of guessing.
- Sparge water Heating control Run the sparge water heating when the main heating element is idle during mashing to enable using only one 15A/20A GFCI socket.
- Temperature logging chart Watching the temperature chart during brew and after brew
- [Untested/uncompleted] Distilling PWM controlled heating instead of PID controlled. Customized 4 stages: pre-heat, head, heart, and tail, which are defined by temperature ranges.
- 0.4 [pre-release]
- update ESPAsyncTCP and ESPAsyncWebServer library
- Websocket instead of Server Side Event(EventSource)
- Continuously Up/Down button action
- Bug fixed, no temperature chart in Manual and Distilling mode.
- Bug fixed, setting temperature udpate when changed
- Bug fixed, No PUMP control in distilling auto mode
- 0.3.3 [12/06/2017]
- bugs fixed.
- Moveable control panel, progress table, and temperature chart.
