Volume measurement electronics

The completed volume measurement electronics and hardware.

The small circuit board below the pump is a variable DC-DC converter to adjust the speed of the pump, mainly to minimise noise.

The two blue circles at the top are the gang valves to control the flow of bubbler air, the blue tubes split off and go to the Freescale MPX5010DP pressure sensors. The bottom tube out of the pump is the air intake line – it may require a filter.

About

Bald Brewery is an automated pico brewery based in Yorkshire, UK.

It uses the Brewtroller as the central controller; all other hardware and electronics is configured to a custom design.

The build is underway after around 4 years of collecting parts. The design is mostly in my head, working things out as I go along. I don't have a workshop - just a pair of molegrips, a drill, a soldering iron and a couple of qmax cutters.

Here you can follow the build progress of the brewery, follow brews and find recipes for the beers brewed.
