Diseño e implementación de un equipo eléctrico de maceración escalonada, cocción y enfriamiento para la elaboración de cerveza artesana.

Abstract

The aim of this project is the design and implementation of an equipment to produce craft beer. The equipment must carry out the stepped mashing, cooking, and cooling processes of the wort, leaving it ready for the fermentation stage. The control system of the equipment is in charge of the heating and cooling of the wort, through the use of a temperature sensor to control the heating, cooling and recirculation actuators of the wort. The equipment was programmed and controlled by an Arduino and a graphical interface application for the computer. In addition, the design of the physical structure, the sizing and selection of sensors, actuators for the equipment is carried out. Finally, the functional tests are carried out separately and together with the equipment
