How Ruby makes Better Beer
summary
Claims a working Ruby-driven brewery control stack: recipe import and batch logging via brew lab and brewscribe, PID temperature control with tempur, and hardware control on a Raspberry Pi using GPIO, DS18B20 sensors, solid‑state relays and PWM. Nano brewery scale is under seven barrels (≈217 gallons); current setup runs four fermenters and scales toward ~15 using Arduino over i2c. System automates mash/boil/ferment steps and reports data; it succeeds functionally but needs workarounds for GPIO limits and real‑time timing.
