Red devil 44 Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Heading up the Sunshine Coast for a few days R&R tomorrow, but was going to swing into the Northside and pick up one of these. I have read up on them & watched a few you tube vids and they seem pretty good. ‘German made so must be good quality, for $110 I might give it a go I think? ‘Any thoughts or feedback would be great, cheers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kegory Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 What is the tech support like? I have read of people having to get support from the manufacturer to troubleshoot similar items. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno @Kegory, I’m pretty tech minded though & can work most things out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmar92 Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 I have only ever used a Rapt Pill, so I can't give any advice on this unit. I am though pretty happy with my Rapt Pills (I have 2) and now that they have wireless charging available for them they are even better. They also integrate seamlessly with Brewfather and give you a graphical representation of how the ferment is proceeding. Oh, and they are cheaper than the unit you have shown. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 2 iSpindels and they were good to start with, but have had some signal strength issues lately. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozdevil Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 i have 4 rapt pills and they have never missed a beat until 1 day when putting the wireless charging on 1 i stupidly put the battery in wrong and shorted the board out, it was my own fault but they are great they can be intergrated with brewfather, grainfather and other brew software they also can conect upto all rapt ecosystems such as temp controller and fridge so that you can get temp whats happening with the wort basic 70+50 will get you the pill and wireless charging kit or 73+50 will get you a different collour then the yellow standard pill but you will also aquire the yellow lid as well + wireless charging unithttps://www.kegland.com.au/collections/rapt-pill-accessories if ya dead set on the hydrom then look at keg king they have it for $100https://www.kegking.com.au/hydrom-wifi-bluetooth-hydrometer-thermometer.html good luck in what you choose 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
