Fancy thermometer

Step one of the planned temperature control upgrade is the addition of a controller with a temperature probe. I have incorporated it into the brewery at the MLT with a thermowell I ordered from Brewers Hardware. For now it is nothing more than an expensive thermometer. The next step will be the addition of a gas valve and automatic ignition system. I have been doing some research but have not ordered any parts yet.
 
Another project I have been working on is a mobile pegboard assembly for the clamps and hoses. I am expecting this to make brewery disassembly and temporary storage much more convenient.
