Life Cycle Traceability Demonstration � Beer Brewing System
Heating and Measuring
The brewer can adjust the heater, pump, or valves to change the temperature of the mash. Manually setting the brew temperature causes the heating coils to heat until the set temperature is reached.
An independent temperature monitoring system is controlled by a computer. A temperature sensor samples the actual temperature, and compares this against the expected temperature set in the specified brewing profile. During the brewing process, the expected temperature moves through the brewing profile. If the actual temperature is outside of the expected temperature (by a preset margin), then an alarm is sounded.
