A while back I built a controller for doing home Sous Vide (write up to come...). It controls a hotplate under a pan of water and uses a digital temperature sensor to attempt to maintain a constant, precise temperature. I hacked together a simple control system, and found that it worked very badly for controlling a system with so much lag. I tried a bit of tweaking, but it was still not very good - a tendency to overshoot massively, and take a long time to cool down.

In preparation for Burns Night, first go at a Cranachan based drink 
Cranachini
Raspberry Vodka: 200ml vodka 150g raspberries
crush raspberies, place in a cream whipper with the vodka. Charge with 1 capsule nitrous, leave for 1 minute to infuse, then release the gas and strain. Don't leave too long, or it gets bitter. Add sugar/syrup to taste.
This is my blog about food. Tasty!
