AG brewer since 2007. Current rig is a clone plus extras of http://theelectricbrewery.com. I like most styles of beer.

Projects in progress are a custom kegbot that tracks beer consumption without a flowmeter, a brewpi fermentation controller and a digital specific gravity meter.

@TobiasPatton - where do you get those figures from? 4oz DME/cup seems low. This page (mrbeerfans.com/ubbthreads/…) lists 1 cup as 6oz, which would put it more in the ballpark of 1.080

Yes, you can add water to the flask - I'd forgot you had a 2000ml flask (fixed my answer). But be sure to add the water cool - boiling water will kill the yeast.

comment Total Volume of Yeast Starter in Regards to Evaporation from Boiling Wort
this is a good question, but you should split this into two questions, one for the starter volume and one for the vortex. You'll get better more focused answers that way, and allow folks who can answer one but not both to participate. Please edit this question to remove the part about the vortex and add that as a new question.

@Scott - The RevA shield sold for 27.50 euro + 5 euro for soldering. I don't know how much the new one will cost. For monitoring just one temp sensor, you could just plug that directly into the Arduino and do away with all of the other parts (shield, SSRs, LCD display etc), they're not needed.

The setbacks only caused delays, not any quality issues with the final product. As well as a RPi, you'll need an Arduino, such as an Arduino Uno. You can't easily plug the probes into the RPi, unless you get a OneWire USB adapter. You don't need the brewpi shield or any of the other parts to monitor a single temp sensor - just plug the temp sensor directly into the arduino.
