@@daveshopfenstube maybe I am watching too many weed growing videos at the moment :) And you also have to ferment the buds after harvesting. I guess that's why.
The FCS is great, yet you still have to understand what is going on. The density meter could well be a breakthrough, no more glass hydrometers, floating wireless, or even taking readings for an EasyDense. Instead, constant accurate readings without fear of contamination.
Of course, it does help the brewer a lot though. Indeed, the density meter will be huge. I really can't wait to get my hands on it. Anything else you are curious about with the FCS?
I agree. The tuning fork density sensor is the gold. It's the same concept and similar in design to the PLAATO Pro. I'm not sure how it'll rate in terms of accuracy as compared to the PLAATO Pro and floating wireless hydrometers such as the Tilt. I would expect it to be comparable. And I can envision using an EasyDens to calibrate the Brewtools density sensor, possibly even a sample or two per batch. You certainly won't need to worry about wi-fi / bluetooth connectivity and battery life issues.
What about the beers that have 2 or 3 dry-hop additions? So this electronic spunding valve will increase the set pressure with day of fermentation pass?
I guess you could always stack HopDrops each with its own pneumatic butterfly valve. 🤔😯 I am a little disappointed that Brewtools hasn't found a viable electric butterfly valve. I'm not to keen on the idea of needing compressed air.
@@wickedbeernut haven't spent time on it either. The 4th relay port have switchable polarity as an option so it's quite easy to make one as well. Just need some time.
@@Brewtools You'd said, "For electric HopDrop, this is not a priority now. Existing motors are big, ugly and expensive". I took that to mean you haven't found a viable electric butterfly valve. My bad.
I don't know what you're saying, but you do you. I think it is cool to have technology like this available. Of course it is not mandatory to brew beer.
Thank you for the great content. Wish I hadn't missed Brewtools at the Messezentrum.
Thank you buddy! Yeah, the time just flies different during the Messe. But hey, next one is in two years lol
This is amazing. I'm working on making my own similar system using home assistant and esphome
Oh, very interesting! Keep us posted how it goes!
Some things here are amazing. The possibility reading off gravity and regulating Fermentation variables around it is huge.
Yeah I agree, I can't wait to see these in real life and what brewers make out of the technology!
I saw the thumbnail and thought this is a weed video. :) Cheers Dave!
Hahaha why is that? 🤣 thanks 😊

I want the Hop agitator.
Take my money!
Yeah that one is pretty cool! But also the density meter is something I am very excited about.

Well I guess it won’t be a problem, you just got to load the hop dropper with hops in between. But I will ask Brewtools about it

@@wickedbeernut It's true, but we havent tried a lot either. Will look more into this soon :)
😍😍😍
Cheers, Kev!
Can it do Ginger Beer? Asking for a friend
I’m pretty sure lol 🤣
@@daveshopfenstube 🥰
Can bus? so the automotive and automation moved to the brewing industry
Warum entschädigen Sie für teure Ausrüstung? Wer Bier macht, braucht es nicht. Bier wird in einem gewöhnlichen Topf hergestellt
