tTwo of the world’s greatest things, the Raspberry Pi and Beer, have come together in a project that is the definition of homebrew.

tDuring fermentation beer must be kept at fairly precisely controlled temperatures. The required temperature varies according to the stage of fermentation, as well as other factors, and the Pi-based brewing aid helps keep the temperature within acceptable limits.
