Great Video Kee , sometimes written instructions are not easy to follow but when its shown in a video with simple steps it makes life easier Thankyou for putting this instructional video up on bonding the Pill and other devices.
No worries. Please stay tuned we are about to release some really cool new features in this area so the whole profile system will be changed again soon. Thanks for the support.
Thank you, Kee & and team, for all your videos lately explaining all your products and features. I'm eager to start my first brew day on Tuesday of next week on my Brewzilla & Fermzilla!
Thanks for the video on this subject. Sometimes it can get really challenging to configure and pair this divices. Right now waiting for the temperature controller I just bought today, hopefully i will have it soon, and already have a pill😊
No worries at all. Thanks Bradley. It's a bit of a complicated process but hopefully the video simplifies this. Keep up the great work on your videos mate!
Hi KegLand, I have 10 steel fermentation tanks, an i have a pill for each one, but as you know sometimes i have prolems with the wifi connection because of the steel tanks. I have now ordered a temp controller, because i would like to use it as a bluetooth/wifi bridge, i havent been able to find out how many pills a controller can act as a bridge for, do i need to buy one temp controller pr. pill, or can i handle a number of pill's... Hope you understand my quesition. Kim - Warwik Brewery
Hi, I have just taken delivery of my new RAPT Pill Hydrometer. I have set up my account and hydrometer and the hydrometer is now on charge for around 24 hours. I was wondering how do I access my settings to change the telemetry method to Bluetooth? I don't have the Pill settings tab open now, as you described in your vid (7.43mins into the video), I am just using the RAPT Cloud to access my Pill and I can't see where to get into settings? Thanks for your help, Ian
Assuming you can't 'pair' the pill in the RAPT portal to the fermentation chamber if its in bluetooth mode? The RAPT portal doesn't have any metrics for my pill (as its bonded to the fermentation chamber). I can't see the pill temp in the portal for the fermentation chamber either (unless it's the 'control sensor'?). Its only temp though - I can't see data for the gravity. Unless I'm confused and it should still be reporting in via wifi and just use bluetooth for the temp to the fridge?
Hi, I’ve set up a pill using an iPad and an iPhone (no computer) how do I change from WiFi to Bluetooth? In your example you connect using computer but I have no access to one
@kegland my first brew went fine with the rapt pill and the rapt temp controller. Problem I now have is I’ve just put down a second brew and the temp controller screen is showing the correct new OG and temperature for the new brew but the online portal still shows the last brews temp and FG and it’s not updating? How do I solve this please? Thank you!
Thanks for another great video See, I do have a couple of questions though 1st I already have my pill connected up and view the fermentation via Brewfather, I know that I have to pair the pill with the temp controller but to keep viewing via Brewfather is there any other setup procedures I must carry out as I 'm sure at the moment the pill talks to Brewfather via my wifi. 2nd if my pill is supplying the temp controller with temp data do I need to connect the controller temp probe to the fermenter or do I just let it sit in fridge to measure internal air temp? thanks again
Thanks for the support Peter. We have made several new updates and we need to talk to brewfather again with futher about further integration. Once we do this we will release more videos on how to set this up. With the temp controller I would just put that into the fridge. There is no need to do anything different on that front and no need to tape it to the fermenter body.
I just got my pill and temp control set up. I did a test profile, during the test the portal would freeze the site. Any thoughts on what I’m doing/not doing? Also is there any way to clear the history already logged? Thanks for the videos, am looking forward to my first brew using the profiles.
We have recently made some changes to how the profiles work so we have more advanced starting and end conditions for each step. We also have alerts that can get triggered by multiple different things. The only issue is the old profiles might not work on the new system so you may have to re-built your profiles and also you may want to consider ensuring you have the latest firmware.
The facebook group is the best place to go. It takes a while for manuals to get updated and the platform is changing fairly quickly so the facebook group is probably the best source of up to date information.
Trying to find spec's on max temp for RAPT pill, would it survive at typical mash temps? and will it pair with the Brewzilla like this temp controller to allow for top of mash monitoring / temp control?
You guys really should go thru the menu and explain the different settings in the temp controller.. And how they do on their own and what the expected behavior is when they are paired.. I read the menu and it told me jack so far. And then started fiddling with pairing and got that going but it seems like the controller completely disregards the temp in the pill and goes for the internal regardless..
There's a pretty decent breakdown of all menu settings in the online user manual: www.kegland.com.au/cdn/shop/files/RAPT_Temperature_Controller_-_Instruction_Manual.pdf?v=9649748251758749617

Thankyou for putting this instructional video up on bonding the Pill and other devices.
No worries at all. We will continue doing more videos like this so you can more easily make the most of our products. Thanks for the support!
You are the only one who provides fermentation profiles based on the SG of the wort. THANK YOU!!!

I’m (im)patiently waiting for the flow control QD + mini Nukatap combo you teased last year! 😃
The QD is finished but we are just waiting on some small parts for the Nukatap to be finished now. Should be very close now.
Thanks for the video on this subject. Sometimes it can get really challenging to configure and pair this divices. Right now waiting for the temperature controller I just bought today, hopefully i will have it soon, and already have a pill😊
Thanks for your support. I think the two of them are a great combo.
Very nice instruction Thank you for laying it out so cleanly 🍻

I have a stainless steel bucket buddy and a pill , what will give a better signal through the stainless steel, Bluetooth or wifi ? Cheers 🍺

Still didnt show how to pair pill to chamber via Bluetooth.

Great video instruction Kee, i have a couple of RAPT pills/chambers I need to set-up, cheers.
No worries at all David. Let us know if you can assist any further.

Can this be used to automate distillation?

Temp controller link points to the same place as the fermenter link. You may want to fix that. Great video as always!
Thanks for that. I will fix this up now. Cheers!
How many rapt pills could be connected to temp controller?
Thanks for your tips!
Will it later that I can change the temp in the display that Pill will be the big display? Or will it be like it is know?
Cheers
Yes if you change the temperature probe to the pill it will then show on the display of the temp controller or RAPT chamber.
Hello. Is there allready a new update on how the tempcontroller works with brewfather when the pill is paired to the controller?
This replies a bit late sorry, so can't really answer given the pace of development

Hi @ljjones2464, did this get answered or did you fix it? I am having the same problem. It is freezing my App and the portal on my PC. @KegLand
@@stephend7128I have not. I sent an email to CS but just got the product manual. I’m going to try the Facebook group.

Pill is for fermentation temps, to my knowledge. So i would imagine under 40 degs Celsius
I think you’d be better off with the Bluetooth temperature probe
Yes that is correct. The pill itself would handle the tempreature and so would the housing. the weak link is the battery.

Why would you want to connect these?
Why wouldn't you!?! Literally the best,, most powerful fermentation control on the market!

ok we will try
