The only manual tasks I do with my brewery is add grain, and add hops (working on the hops part). Otherwise everything from fill vessels, preboiling, cooling, moving strike, doughing in, step mashing, moving wort to the bk, boiling. Cooling and everything is done while I am away. Elements, flow sensors, pressure sensors, 3 pumps, 2 chillers, and 16 electric ball valves do all the work on brewday.
Once transferred the beers go into individual fermentation chambers that run preset fermentation profiles all while logging and graphing everything. I can (it can) manage all temps to a tenth of a degree and I can replicate and reproduce the hot side brewing and fermenting process to a level that most larger breweries dream of.
This takes out human error and I can always make the exact beer I set out to. This is what makes brewing fun for me.
