Keg Land Dual Plug Control via William’s Brewing

More Info

From the product description, check product page for current description, price and availability:

The Keg Land Dual Controller features dual plugs so you can control both a cooling unit and electric heater at the same time, via the separate heat and cool plugs in the bag of the unit. For example, get a chest freezer or refrigerator, and put a Brewer’s Edge Space Heater inside the refrigerator. Plug both the Space Heater and Refrigerator in the Heat and Cool plugs on the back of the control, and set the temperature for 55° F. The Keg Land Controller will turn on the refrigerator when the temperature gets warmer than 55° and then turn on the Space heater if the temperature drops below 53° or so (depending on the delay you have programmed in). Many things can be controlled: wine cellars, fermentation areas, mash temperatures, green houses, pet enclosures, and more. This 110 volt unit has a 30 amp cooling relay to handle large refrigerators, and a 10 amp heating relay to handle heating appliances up to 1100 watts.

It can also be programmed to step temperature up or down over a period of time (up to 12 separate steps). For optimum fermentation conditions using a chest freezer or refrigerator you can program the Keg King to start fermenting at one temperature, increase the temperature after a number of days and then crash chill. This is done without any intervention at all. Just program the control and forget.

You can also use this to increase the temperature of your electric mash tun so it will automatically step the temperature up and down as you please during a time period your specify.

Distillation mode is included, which means it will only heat cycle the unit once. What this means is if you set the temperature to 202° F., it will heat until it reaches 202° and then turn off, sounding an alarm to let you know the heat has been turned off. This can be handy with electric distillation and other uses when constant monitoring is not what you want to do. The probe is only 4mm in diameter, which means it will fit in the thermowell of both our items C74 KegLand Pot Still Column and C75 KegLand Reflex Still Column. Keep in mind the 1100 watt limit on the heat relay in this unit, so this cannot be used with something like a Turbo 500 Boiler that does not have power settings, although it can be used with a Mash & Boil, Grainfather, or Brewzilla that has a lower 1000 or 1100 watt setting.
Other features include an adjustable differential, adjustable delay between the start of cooling and heating, or between the start of heating and cooling, cooling start delay, Centigrade and Fahrenheit modes, and adjustable high and low temperature alarms.

Unlike the more intuitive Uni-Stat, all features are accessed through programming; see the instruction pdf below for more details. In other words, this unit is best for someone who does not mind going through a few programming menus to get set up. Includes a 6’ waterproof probe cord with stainless probe tip, and a 4’ power cord. The stainless probe fits in all the thermowells and stills we sell, and is 3.9mm in diameter.

A common question we get is how to set the Dual Controller to Fahrenheit. To do this, follow the steps below:

1. First hold the lower right set key down for about 6 seconds until it flashes E3.

2. Then press the lower right set key 9 times to get to C1

3. Then press the upper left arrow button once to change the display to 01

4. You will see 01 displaying for a few seconds and then it will return to display the temperature in Fahrenheit.

KNOWN BUG: The software for this unit has a known bug. When the unit is set to Fahrenheit, it works in Fahrenheit but a small c is displayed, like it is Centigrade mode, on the upper right part of the display. However, the setting is Fahrenheit, and the unit will stay in Fahrenheit mode even if the unit loses power. Also, in Fahrenheit, the unit can only be set to a maximum temperature of 200° F., so if you are using it for distillation mode and want the unit to shut off at say, 203° F. instead of 200° F., you will need to switch to Centigrade so you can program to 95° C which is 203° F.(in Centigrade, the unit can be set to a maxiumum of 99°).

Kegland RAPT Temperature Controlled Fermentation Chamber – on sale for $999, Save $300!

RAPT Temperature Controlled Fermentation Chamber

RAPT Temperature Controlled Fermentation Chamber

More Info

From the product description, check product page for current description, price and availability:

Finally, a purpose-built fermentation chamber! Homebrewers have been repurposing refrigerators for fermentation temperature control since as far back as we can remember—and with good reason. These appliances provide excellent insulation from outside temperatures, are usually large enough to fit a typical fermenter used for 5-gallon batches, and provide incredibly even temperature distribution compared to immersed cooling coils. But to call the RAPT a refrigerator made for brewers would be doing this unit a huge disservice. KegLand has engineered a fermentation chamber that cools, heats, and automatically guides your beer through your very own programmed fermentation profiles which can be monitored and controlled remotely via WiFi or Bluetooth.

Virtually any homemade product can be greatly improved with perfect temperature control. The RAPT Fermentation Chamber gives you an electrically efficient means of setting, monitoring and controlling temperature which is perfect for beer making, wine making, salami making, leavening bread, fermenting yogurt, kombucha, kimchi, sauerkraut, making cheers, spirit washes, germinating seeds, growing sprouts, and much, much more. Accurate temp control is one of the most crucial factors to getting reliable and repeatable results.

The RAPT’s control panel comes complete with an integrated color TFT screen. The 4-button color display conveniently shows a log of historic temperature graphs, allows you to start/set/stop temperature profiles, and gives you access to other critical information for that particular fermentation. An integrated secondary regulator can be used to regulate gas into the fridge with the Duotight In-Line Regulator on one side, and on the other you can install an integrated BlowTie 2 Spunding Valve to regulate residual pressure in your fermenter.

For more accurate readings of the core temperature of your fermenter, we highly recommend using a thermowell and the 6.5 ft. probe extension. If you’re using a FermZilla, check out this thermowell with Duotight bulkhead.

Perfect as a Kegerator too!
This multipurpose fridge can also be used as a kegerator. In particularly cold climates where the ambient temp is below zero, this fridge can warm your kegs and prevent them from freezing. This fridge also has a higher keg storage capacity than a conventional kegerator that takes up the same footprint. This unit can hold 4 x 5-gallon kegs on the floor and has enough headroom that you can also fit another layer of 2.5-gallon half size kegs above. To fit beer taps you can drill your own holes through the door.

What is RAPT?
RAPT is a dedicated Internet of Things (IOT) Hub for fermentation logging and control. It’s a free service whereby any RAPT-enabled product can both log and store data to the hub where you can conveniently access it. The RAPT hub can also allow you to control your devices remotely giving you absolute control of the device irrespective of where you are. The RAPT portal enables you to make complex temperature profiles that involve different temperature settings over time meaning you can start/run a temp profile giving you a set and forget experience. The RAPT portal also controls the alert/notification process for you so you can receive email notifications in the off chance that something doesn’t go to plan.

Why Buy a Fridge Over a Glycol Chiller?
Although we’ve had great success controlling fermentation temps with an immersed cooling apparatus with a glycol chiller providing the cooling solution, these setups do present several potential issues:

Glycol chillers often require a very cold liquid to enter into a fermenter causing an excessively cold part in the fermenter core which leads to uneven temperature distribution.
Glycol chillers consume significant amounts of power and in most instances more than double what this fridge would consume.
Glycol chillers often result in spilling sticky glycol especially when hoses are connected and disconnected to the fermenter.
Glycol chillers generally require penetrations through the walls/lid of the fermenter making the fermenter less sanitary and requiring more cleaning.
Often fermenters are not made with sufficient insulation, so when using a glycol chiller much of the chilling is lost to the ambient environment. This is not only power inefficient but you can end up with a large temperature gradient. This temperature gradient can result in convection currents in the fermenter that make it difficult for yeast and other solids to settle out of suspension so clarification of the beer takes significantly longer.
Many glycol chillers and fermenter combinations do not have sufficient power or are not well enough insulated to cool to sub-freezing temperatures so cold crashing is not possible. This is a significant compromise to a temperature-controlled solution and also results in less ability to clarify the finished beer.
For these reasons KegLand has developed the world’s first dedicated RAPT-enabled fermentation chamber that can cool down to -2°C (28°F) and heat up to 50°C (122°F) even in hot and cold weather.

Announcing: RAPT Bluetooth Thermometer – from Brewzilla Gen 4, RAPT Fermentation Chamber & RAPT Temperature Controller

RAPT Bluetooth Thermometer

RAPT Bluetooth Thermometer

More Info

From the product description, check product page for current description, price and availability:

If you have a RAPT device, you know how handy it would be if you could have temperature data input into your RAPT control profiles. This RAPT enabled Bluetooth Thermometer is compatible with the Gen 4 BrewZillas and RAPT Temperature Controllers and RAPT Fermentation Chambers.

For example, by receiving multiple thermometer sensors the BrewZilla can make smarter and more automated decisions on how to control the brewing or distillation process. A thermometer can be placed into your coolant water so you get an alarm if the temperature is too high, another can be put into the middle of the malt pipe so you can more accurately control elements switching on/off to achieve a core malt pipe temperature, and more.

The RAPT Bluetooth thermometer will connect to your BrewZilla Gen 4, RAPT Temperature Controller, or RAPT Fermentation Chamber and log temperature data and manipulate fermentation/brewing and distillation profiles in the RAPT Portal (https://app.rapt.io/).

This greatly reduces the need for handwritten records of your brew day as it’s all logged automatically. The RAPT portal also allows you to see every brew you have done in the past with logged temperatures from the main units probe and this bluetooth thermometer. In addition, this unit can also be setup to get push notifications to your mobile phone of when to sparge.

With the Brewzilla Gen 4, this thermometer will allow you to fully customize your brew day with profiles specifically tuned to your style of brewing or your recipe. For example, you could set up step mash profiles using the core temperature of your mash instead of the cavity below where the probe is.

Features a 7.5” probe, 40” cable, magnetized backing plate, and runs on two AAA batteries.

Note: This will not work on its own, so do not buy this unless you also have a Brewzilla Gen 4, RAPT Fermentation Chamber, or RAPT Temperature Controller.


 

William’s Brewing has announced the availability of Kegland’s RAPT Bluetooth Thermometer. Designed to work closely with Brewzilla Gen 4, RAPT Fermentation Chamber & RAPT Temperature Controller. Check out the product page for more info and a video.

RH SPOT has a huge, auto-rotating display. Attach it to walls or ceilings so it’s out of the way. It’s also light-activated to save battery life. Press the button for a backlight.

Verified Accuracy
Each RH SPOT comes with its own NIST-traceable calibration certificate, verifying the accuracy of both the temperature and humidity sensors.


 

The RH Spot is on sale for $23.40 as part of a short flash sale. Valid today 4/4 only.

Possible uses include monitoring kegerator temperatures, beer fridge temperatures and fermentation chamber/area temperatures.

This has a hygrometer function as well.  That shows % relative humidity and could be handy for judging whether your Eva Dry (or similar) needs recharged for the purpose of handling excess kegerator and fermentation chamber wetness.  See: Damp Kegerator? Fix Kegerator Condensation
