==Hardware and Software ==
===Chillmon===
* Have Chillmon persist state (temperature set point, PID constants)
* Rebuild Chillmon on Occidentalis
* Configure Chillmon application to use shared account
* Replace temp sensors with DS18B20 for more accuracy
* EPICS integration:
** Expose Chillmon control variables to EPICS
** Create EPICS control screens
** Investigate EPICS web interface
** Display screen for Chillmon
===Brewing Station: One===
* Electrical insulation of contactor terminals
* Experiment: When the chiller turns off, does it blow hot air into the fermenting space?
* Experiment: In the winter, will the shop drop below our fermentation temperatures, and will we need a heater?
* Real time monitoring of temperature, specific gravity
===Brewing===
* Modify Keggles for brewing
* Build RIMS or HERMS
** Propane solenoid, thermocouple, and igniter under PID control (Arduino)
** Pump, flow meter run by microcontroller (Arduino)
** Multiple temperature probes (Arduino)
** Safety gear:
*** Alarm system (stuck flow, propane flame blew out) (Arduino)
*** Emergency shut off switch
** Raspberry Pi controlling the above via EPICS
===Dispensing===
* We have a donated refrigerator; convert to kegerator
** Determine location of critical components so we can safely make cutouts for beverage lines without destroying anything
** Build internal structure to hold Cornelius kegs
** Modify thermostat to keep beer at cellar temperature. (A second Chillmon?)
** Consider plumbing water line for water dispenser / ice maker.
* Add draft tower to the PS:One bar
** Build draft tower and faucet system
** Engineer beverage line and faucet chilling
