I brew beer with mine[1]. I use a CHIP to control an old fridge as a fermentation chamber.
For both systems I'm using CraftBeerPi[2], a python project with a pretty active community around it.
I wrote about it on opensource.com[3] and it was pretty popular, which surprised me a little bit. But I guess a lot of people in our community like beer :). I'm always trying to figure out how to make brewing my career without the related massive cut in income (please share any great ideas on that!)
I wrote my own small weather service, http://www.brilcast.com/, and re purposed the waterproof sensor to help track and record the process from lautering/sparging all the way to transfer to primary fermentation.
The setup is simple. Sensor code is written in Python, then it's sent to a SQLite database running on a Flask webserver. The frontend uses D3.js to visualize the data. The entire service is hosted on Pythonanywhere. It's quite spartan, but it works well. https://github.com/williamBartos/brilCast
