How To Build Your Own iSpindel - DIY Digital Home Brew Hydrometer - Build Your Own TILT! [4K]

The iSpindel is a digital hydrometer that lets you wirelessly see your home brew fermentation temperature and specific gravity. With built in WiFi, the iSpindel can connect to apps such as BrewFather to graph the progress of your ferment and be accessed anywhere in the world! The iSpindel can also be used to tie in with other hardware such as BrewPi / BrewPiLess in order to build fully automated fermentation temperature controllers.

This is a full tutorial for building an iSpindel from scratch including all the parts and tools you will need. I have linked below where you can purchase a full parts kit, or fully assembled and tested units for those wanting to just get in and go!
