As a close cousin, a beer brewer, I also had the same sorta questions. I hacked together a simple temp sensor along with a mic on a SunSpot to monitor the temp and update me via email if it got too hot. The mic would listen for an explosion (sometimes the yeast goes nuts when its in a sealed bottle) and alert me in class when my floor would be covered with glass shards and 1/2 ready beer.
