Data Integration

It doesn't matter what technologies you use MyBrewbot is your data hub collecting information from probes and hydrometers and routing the data to where you want it. In your hand or on your brewing dashboard.

Control

The beer temperature control side of MyBrewbot works by reading the Tilt/iSpindel or probe attached to your fermenter in your fermentation fridge and switching the hot and cold smartplugs on or off. MyBrewbot will maintain your temperature to within +- 0.2C

Smartplugs

The MyBrewbot controller has a 433mhz radio transmitter built in - so it works with cheap remote control plugs (typically < £20 for 4) and doesn't use relays.

​

No worry about wiring things into your mains supply. No dangerous connections. Just plug and play. 

​

The controller has a radio receiver built in so that you can program it from the remote that comes with your plugs.

Supports up to 10 plugs (hot & cold for each fermenter and two auxiliary plugs).

Tilt Integration

MyBrewbot has a bluetooth receiver built in.

​

As soon as the controller identifies a Tilt device it sends a notification to your phone allowing you to assign it to a fermenter. The controller uses the temperature data to control 2 smartplugs to control the temperature of your fermenting beer.

​

Remember though, that the Tilt is accurate to+/- 1 degree F - so if you want a higher degree of accuracy then use a probe to control temperature (accurate to +/- 0.2F)

Supports up to 4 Tilts.

SG Estimation

By measuring the difference between the ambient temperature (temperature of 1 litre of water in the fermentation fridge) and the beer temperature and applying the laws of thermodynamics we can estimate the amount of exothermic activity (heat) generated by the yeast as they consume the sugars in your sweet wort.

​

You’ll still want to take an SG reading towards the end of fermentation to confirm that you’ve hit your target FG but you shouldn’t have to sample during the process. We’ve found that we get an extra 400 ml of finished beer as a result. That’s a whole bottle!

Brew software Integration

If you subscribe to Brewfather, Brewer's Friend or Monitor Beer then you can set the controller to send fermentation data every 15 minutes to your dashboard. 

​

Setup is quick and simple and enables you to maintain a complete record of your beer from grain to bottle.

Plaato Integration

Go to the Plaato help centre and ask for an authorisation code. Input the code into MyBrewbot and the controller will ask your Plaato for it's specific gravity data every 15 minutes.

Pressure Sensor

If you ferment under pressure then add a 100 psi pressure sensor to the MyBrewbot controller and monitor your ferment's pressure from your phone.

​

A 1/8" NPT Stainless Steel sensor replaces the analog dial on your existing spunding valve and sends pressure data to your phone/Brew Software

iSpindel Integration

Set your iSpindel up to send data to the MyBrewbot controller's IP address. Supports up to 4 iSpindels

Benefits

By understanding how your yeast cells are reacting in the fermenter you can be much more assured in your adjustments to your beer's fermentation temperature, whether making a lager or introducing extra flavours by stressing the yeast in a Weiss Beer or Saison. You get much more control as you can see the effects of your temperature adjustments online using your mobile phone.

Profiles

You can set up 15 step profiles for each of the 4 fermenters. Profile steps include Time/Temperature, Temperature/Time, Free Rise and SG Triggers.

Compressor Delay

Set up hysteresis and compressor delay to ensure that your cooling system stays in great shape.

BYO (Build your own)

MyBrewbot now comes with a set of Webserver APIs that return Json strings with key data - so 'happy hackers' can build their own Web UI.
