the brewpi spark 3 is a temperature controller that can control your beer or wine fermentation with 0.1°c precision. it sends data to a raspberry pi to show a control panel with graphs in your browser. and all our software is open source! to control the temperature of your fermenting beer, you need a way to cool and heat it. this is usually done by hacking a fridge to install a heater inside and to give brewpi control over the compressor. solid state relays (ssrs) are used to control 110v or 230v ac power to the heater and cooler with a small control signal from the brewpi the brewpi spark will read the temperature sensors in the beer and fridge and will turn the heater and cooler on and off when needed. all the temperature control algorithms runs locally on the spark, so that it is fully autonomous to control your brew. the raspberry pi communicates with the brewpi spark over usb and logs brewing data. it also runs the web interface so you can monitor and the raspberry pi connects to your home network and it is the central web server for brewpi. from any other device on your network, you can access the web page served by the raspberry pi. on your brewpi webpage, you can start and stop a brew, change your temperature profile, view charts and change settings. we think a big part of what makes brewing fun, is designing and building your awesome brewery. finding the right building blocks can be hard, but we got you covered.  we put a lot of effort in finding high quality parts and if we cannot find them, we design them ourselves. our brewing setups are 'bring your own kettle'. you pick the kettles, we have the rest. combine as you like, it's your party. start small and expand later or go all out and automate everything. we're still adding new features to brewpi. in fact, we're doing a completely redesign of our software to make it more flexible and user. all software updates will come for free, to new and existing users. the pid algorithms in the brewpi spark can already be used for mashing, but the user interface is still heavily fermentation
