Outline

The fermentation controller has been a longstanding item on the wishlist of Fermentation-god Frantisek Apfelbeck of Noisebridge fame. The goal is to have a simple to construct device that will manage fermenting a number of products; managing the aspects involved such as temperature control, timing, etc.

One of the specific goals is to implement one that supports heat-cycles where one keeps the fermentation-batch at different temperatures for periods of time to ensure that, in a multi-species culture, each species will have a time for optimal growth.

Other aims are to ensure easy construction , safe operation and ease-of-use.
