I have actually done homebrewing for probably a combination of 2 years or so, but stopped due to moving state/house in the past and losing or giving away gear.</p> <p>After grabbing a bit of a starting kit and building a favorite recipe from memory, a Primrose Milk Stout is fermenting away in the server cupboard.</p> <p><img src="https://6e2dbc8c.voltaicforge.pages.dev/p/2017/07/homebrewing-again/homebrew_fermenter.png" width="862" height="1400" srcset="https://6e2dbc8c.voltaicforge.pages.dev/p/2017/07/homebrewing-again/homebrew_fermenter_huea81569e5b574dc7a625955106d377da_1379818_480x0_resize_catmullrom_3.png 480w, https://6e2dbc8c.voltaicforge.pages.dev/p/2017/07/homebrewing-again/homebrew_fermenter_huea81569e5b574dc7a625955106d377da_1379818_1024x0_resize_catmullrom_3.png 1024w" loading="lazy" alt="Homebrewing fermenter brewing milk stout " class="gallery-image" data-flex-grow="61" data-flex-basis="147px" > </p> <p>Unfortunately, its been a pain to get temperature control correct. This means that I think its time to finally build what I always wanted to build: a fermenting fridge.</p> <p>I&rsquo;m now eyeing off a legacy <a class="link" href="https://www.brewpi.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" >BrewPi</a> build, sans the fancy LCD controller and just using a Raspberry PI and a Arduino.</p>
