http://monitor.brewbench.co

BrewBench is an Arduino brew monitor, controller and alert system for the home brewer enthusiast. It uses the Arduino REST API to interface with temp sensors.

RIMS

You can also connect a relay to the digital ports and add a heater / pump to create a RIMS system. The software will start/stop the heater/pump based on the target temperature you set.

Fermenters

BrewBench Monitor can easily be used with fermenters with a thermowell.

Setup the Arduino

See the Arduino sketches README.

Works with several types of sensors: Thermistors, DS18B20, PT100, DHT11, DHT21, DHT22 and Ranco temperature controls.

And several types of relays: Sainsmart relays, Solid State relays, or smart WiFi plugs from TP-Link.
