Before I start, I need a maximum of information about the washing machine. I called my dad and he gave me the brand and serial number, it's a V-Zug Adorina 139. I googled it but didn't find much. But at least a picture for you guys:
Then I remembered that I've a cousin working for that enterprise. Unfortunately I didn't hear anything from him for long time but long lives Facebook and I wrote him an e-mail. Positive response some days later: He finds it a good idea, has some schematics and data sheets and is willing to hand them out. But what can I do until than?
Well, think about the procedure. I definitively have to replace the whole electronics, I can't reprogram the integrated washing programs. So what does it need to can? How will the brewing probably look like?
- I will need a mill to open the malt grains. I can't integrate that in my machine.
- The machine will be hooked up to my mac via USB and to water.
- I will put the milled malt into into a linen bag, throw that into the drum and close it.
- Once I click on start on my mac the machine opens a valve and fills with water.
- After it reached a certain level the mashing begins. It automatically reaches and holds the different rest temperatures and slowly spins the drum.
- When the mashing is finished, it pumps the wort out into a barrel and spins the drum faster to get everything out of the bag.
- The machine Alerts me to take out the bag.
- I then put in a bag with hop and let it pump the wort back in the machine and boil it.
- During the boiling the machine adds water and alerts me to put in more hop bags if the recipe needs it.
- Once the boiling is finished, it pumps it trough a car radiator and starts the fan until it reaches the temperature defined in the recipe
- It than pumps it in a barrel and alerts me when finished.
Ok, so far for now, next we'll talk about electronics...
