Remote Temperature Sensor
=========================

It is necessary to measure the temperature to optimally control the mashing process. The brewce setup uses a remote thermometer with BLE connection to get temperature readings.

The remote temperature sensor is based on a `MAX31855`_ thermocouple-to-digital convert which reads the temperature from a K-type thermocouple. The hardware fits the `Adafruit Feather`_ layout and can be connected to any Adafruit Feather board.
