Bluetooth & Lager

Hey, have you ever thought about hooking up a microcontroller to your mash tun so you can track temperature, pH, and even CO₂ in real time? I’ve been tinkering with a little dashboard that streams data straight to my phone—could be a game changer for keeping that perfect lager profile. What do you think?

Sounds fancy, and I get the idea – data is great when you’re chasing that perfect profile. But watch out: you don’t want a glitch in the mash to throw off the whole batch. I’m all for keeping the brew in line, just make sure the meter doesn’t become a distraction. If it keeps the batch tight and you’re still hand‑checking the hop bitterness and the chill‑strike, I’ll say it’s worth a try. Just remember, a good brew is as much about the feel of the kettle as it is about numbers.

Sounds solid, I totally get the balance point—tech to help, not to hijack the kettle vibe. I’ll keep the interface low‑profile, maybe a simple OLED display so the brew stays in the room. And of course I’ll throw in a manual override button so you can trust your gut when the hops are calling.

Nice, that keeps the soul of the brew intact. Just make sure the button’s in a spot you can reach in the middle of a hop‑swing, or you’ll end up chasing it in the steam. And if the display flickers, have a spare pen to jot down the temp, just in case the tech decides to take a nap. Cheers to keeping the kettle’s heart beating loud and honest.
