In Part 1 I got my rice cooker reporting temperature and roughly maintaining a set-point, producing my first batch of yogurt. Now follows a tale of Accidents, Averages, and Algorithms (sorta).
An accident has occurred
How prophetic... My last post said so truly that I needed to "ensure the outlet will turn off if the ESP8266 loses connection". Of course, I couldn't help myself and tried making a new batch before fixing this. So it came to be that 6 hours into a batch of yogurt, it was unceremoniously boiled for a full hour.
At first, all hope was lost - the mess of solidified dairy mocked me from the teflon lining of my dear rice cooker. As I forlornly drained the whey, I figured I'd give it a taste... After all, it had been boiled to death, it couldn't possibly hurt me?
Rice \rightarrow Yogurt \rightarrow Cheese?
I had in fact made cheese. Not at all intentionally, and not very well (it was still somewhat yogurt-sour), but it was undeniably cheese.
