# Brautomat

![ESP32](https://img.shields.io/static/v1?label=Arduino\&message=ESP32\&logo=arduino\&logoColor=white\&color=blue)

Brautomat is a brewing controller for ESP32 D1 mini systems. It automates mash rests and timing, supports boil phases including hop additions, and can run infusion-style mash processes with minimal manual intervention.

> **Note:**\
> This guide is continuously improved. Many examples use GGM IDS. Since version 1.48, relay-based setups are supported as well. Only manual mode is exclusive to GGM IDS2.

Guide status: release line `main` (version 1.60). Local development builds may differ.
