Controle de brassagem automatizado de uma single vessel utilizando microcontrolador Esp32 com o aplicativo blynk

Abstract

Craft beer production is booming. Many connoisseurs of this drink are looking for styles and products that have flavors and scents that are different from traditional standardized beers. The beer produced in the homes of hobbyists is increasingly reaching levels of excellence, due to the study of each production process independently. The improvement and especially the simplification of techniques already used in large breweries deserves a mention for the production of differentiated beers. One of the causes that makes simplification possible is production on a smaller scale. The purpose of this study is to combine the improvement of the efficiency of some stages of the craft beer manufacturing process with the time spent, automating as much as possible these same processes. These objectives were achieved by controlling the power applied to the liquid through electro-electronic equipment developed throughout the project. Mashing, also known as the hot stage, had its efficiency and total time improved with the power control in the Mash and Boiling of the brewer's wort. The ESP32 microcontroller was used with the Dev Module prototyping platform, automating time and temperature monitoring and control. Using the Blynk app for Android as a user interface to control the various steps that require different parameters.
