FermaStat is the flagship product of Obercreek Labs, LLC, co-founded in 2025 by technologist Tor Miller and brewer Dr. Philip Shaw of Obercreek Brewing Company. Together, we blend brewing craft and cutting-edge IoT to help craft breweries safeguard fermentation and deliver consistent, high-quality beer.
We believe every brewer deserves confidence in their fermentation. FermaStat was born to give craft breweries an affordable, reliable way to protect beer quality, prevent costly batch losses, and streamline operations with modern technology.
Many small breweries still rely on manual checks or basic thermostats. A single overnight chiller failure can ruin thousands of dollars in beer. Inconsistent fermentation leads to inconsistent flavor, lost revenue, and wasted labor.
FermaStat combines smart hardware installed on each fermenter with a cloud-based platform. Brewers can monitor and control fermentation in real time from anywhere.
Real-Time Monitoring
Continuous temperature tracking with instant alerts when thresholds drift.
Automated Control
Integrated relays interface with glycol cooling systems to correct deviations automatically.
Cloud Logging
Every batch is logged and graphed, building a searchable brew journal.
Scalable & Affordable
Priced at $1,000 per tank plus $100/month, FermaStat scales from one tank to dozens.
A partnership of technology and brewing expertise.
