Abstract

This research focused on developing a mashing malt machine with a PID feedback temperature control system to enhance the extraction process's efficiency. The process utilizes malt enzymes requiring optimal temperatures to convert starch into sugar. This research presented a designing and constructing a 31-liter mashing malt machine equipped with a control system based on Arduino UNO R3, sensors, and various electrical components to ensure precise temperature regulation. Experiments demonstrated that the system maintained the desired temperature without overshoot, achieving a sugar extraction efficiency of 86.81%. These results highlight the potential for applying this machine in households or small and medium enterprises.
