Brewery fermentation monitoring and control features
FermaStat is designed to help craft breweries protect batches with real-time visibility, smart alerts, cloud logs, and optional active control where supported.
Real-time monitoring
Monitor fermentation tanks, glycol chillers, freezers, fridges, and other configured equipment with live temperature telemetry from anywhere.
- Tank-level temperature visibility
- Chiller, freezer, and fridge visibility
- Remote access via the cloud dashboard
- Historical trends for troubleshooting and consistency
Smart alerts
Get notified when temperatures drift or equipment stops responding, so your team can act before small problems become batch loss.
- Temperature drift alerts
- Equipment failure warnings
- Notifications designed to reduce response time
- Team awareness across cellar and off-site staff
Optional active control
Maintain setpoints on configured controlled devices where supported by your brewery setup and hardware.
- Control selected fermentation and cooling devices
- Relay hardware for glycol-related control use cases
- Temperature setpoint maintenance
- Fermentation profile support where configured
Cloud logs and batch history
Centralized temperature history helps your team troubleshoot issues, improve consistency, and maintain operational records over time.
- Centralized temperature history
- Better troubleshooting after drift or equipment events
- Consistency tracking across batches
- Operational records for cellar review
Hardware options
FermaStat uses practical brewery hardware with device-based pricing. Hardware needs depend on what you monitor and whether you add control.
Monitor/controller unit
$300
WiFi-connected monitoring and control hardware for configured devices.
Relay
$400
Relay hardware for glycol-related control use cases where supported.
Relay + touchscreen monitor
$1,200
Relay plus local touchscreen interface for cellar visibility.
Software pricing: $100/month platform + $10/month per monitored device + $20/month per controlled device.
AI and smart analysis
Smart analysis is a supporting capability—not the main promise. FermaStat can help surface unusual temperature patterns, drift trends, and opportunities to improve consistency over time. It is designed to complement alerts, logs, and brewer judgment—not replace them.
FermaStat does not guarantee better beer or automatic prevention of all batch loss. Results depend on your brewery setup, response practices, and equipment configuration.
Frequently asked questions
- What equipment can FermaStat monitor?
- FermaStat monitors fermentation tanks, glycol chillers, freezers, fridges, brite tanks, and other configured brewery devices with real-time temperature telemetry.
- Can we start with monitoring only?
- Yes. Many breweries begin with monitoring and alerts, then add active control on selected devices where it matters most.
- Does FermaStat support fermentation profiles?
- On configured controlled devices, FermaStat can maintain setpoints and support fermentation profiles where supported by your brewery setup and hardware.
- How are alerts delivered?
- FermaStat sends smart alerts when temperatures drift or equipment stops responding as expected, helping your team respond before drift becomes batch loss.
- What hardware is required?
- Hardware depends on your brewery setup. Options include monitor/controller units, relays for glycol-related control, and relay plus touchscreen monitor configurations. See pricing for details.
