Why monitor the chiller separately from tanks?

A chiller failure can affect every tank on the loop. Monitoring glycol supply temperature helps your team catch problems before fermentation vessels drift.

Can FermaStat alert before tanks are affected?

Smart alerts on chiller or glycol supply readings can notify your team when conditions change, giving you more time to respond depending on your system and response practices.

Does this work with existing glycol loops?

FermaStat connects to configured monitoring points on your brewery equipment. Final sensor placement depends on your chiller, loop layout, and installation review.

Can we monitor chillers without controlling them?

Yes. Chiller monitoring with alerts is a common starting point before adding control on fermentation or cooling devices.

Brewery glycol chiller monitoring

The problem

Overnight chiller or glycol system failures are expensive because one problem can affect every tank on the loop. Manual morning checks may be too late, and a single thermostat on the chiller does not give remote alerts or historical context when something goes wrong.

The FermaStat solution

FermaStat monitors glycol chiller and supply conditions on configured devices, sends smart alerts when readings drift or equipment stops responding, and stores cloud logs so your team can see what happened before fermentation impact.

What you can monitor or control

Glycol chiller supply or return temperature
Loop conditions on configured monitoring points
Alerts before multiple tanks are affected
Historical chiller performance for troubleshooting

Example setup

A brewery with an active fermentation schedule might monitor the chiller plus four fermentation tanks: platform ($100/month), five monitored devices ($50/month), plus hardware per monitoring point. Chiller alerts can reach off-site staff overnight.
