RAPT Pill Digital Beer Brewing Fermentation Hydrometer - Tilt/Pill Review

Hey, can this device be used in a wort that is sitting at 60-70 degrees C?

I purchased and received 4 of the pills and having problems getting them up and running. These are definitely in my view not user friendly. I have registered 2 of them so far and still charging the second. I was able to calibrate the first then placed it in my brew. Took quite a while to get it to this stage and now not sure how to hook up to the one in fermenter. With the research I have done these will be a game changer for me however finding it a tad painful setting them up to a point where they work.

it would be great if you develop a 1.5 TC MODEL, with out the floating and more stability, similar to the plaato device ( they don’t care about homebrewers with stainless steel conicals and unitanks) oh well i think i’m going to keep on using my antor paar easydens

G'day. My awesome wife has just given me one of these for my birthday. I can't seem to screw the cap on past the 1st o-ring. In the video is looks like it's screwed all the way down to the clear plastic. I don't want screw it any tighter in fears of cracking the yellow cap. Am I doing something wrong?

Can we get this in the US yet? Are the Aliexpress ones legit from you? I don't want to buy some knockoff. Thanks

I love all the Innovation KegLand has been introducing to our craft! What an exciting time to be a homebrewer! Thank you and keep up the good work!

Why were the blue tabs on the battery never mentioned? Thought I was charging it for 24h (red charging light was still on, but rapidly flashing) and turns out I had to take out the battery and the blue tabs. Really disappointed I won't be able to use it for my brew day now.

Hi sorry if this has already been asked/answered but does it need to be calibrated before each uses or just the first use?

I deleted my account, now cant get new validation code to re register

I dont get a user or validation code? I am connected to the wifi as I can see the IP address on my network.

I don't think I've used anything that was so convoluted and confusing to set up in the past 10 years. How about a plug-and-play like any other product on the market? Having to enter MAC addresses etc?
When I choose the RAPT wifi connection it disconnects my home wifi from that device, requiring you to be signed in on two devices at the same time. When I try logging into my RAPT account, it doesn't recognize my password so I've had to reset that three times already.
VERY FRUSTRATING to set up! I can only hope that it is easier to use than to set up!

Absolutely hopeless to connect.

I was having a tilt, those products are awesome, but you can't rely on them to know the SG, due to yeast debris attaching to it. It's a great tools to see when the temperature evolution or when the gravity stop to evolve. But you can't really base your fermentation temperature on this, right? Or because it's bigger it's less affected? Also, can you connect those data with brewfather?

can u sort this out and make it easy U said in the video we can change the back end well doo something like the left hand side add new brew and the right hand side calabration can u put this in an app? it is not easy to use for eg brew1 brew 2 brew 3 there should be a list as easy to create and to look at old brews like brew tracker for recipes TY

This is a great idea but my WiFi won't reach to my shed where I brew. Switched to Bluetooth in the settings but can't pair to my phone. Must be doing something wrong. Can you run through the process?

When I try to calibrate the rapt pill for the first time, it disconnect from the wifi the minute it is not on charge so I cannot charge... is there something i'm doing wrong?

Great video. Just got my pill. The only thing I did different, to save a step, is to use a piece of tape to provide the temporary mark on the housing and transfer it to the interior with a pen marking. Cheers!

Hopefully the housing doesn't deform under pressure... I ruined more than one ispindel using it during pressure fermentation.

Curious to see how this might work in kombucha given as the scoby forms it may prevent it from floating at the appropriate level. You couldn't use it for alcohol levels, but would be super valuable to log how quickly the sugars are consumed against time and temp etc

Are you able to help me setting up a fermentation profile using the specific gravity to activate steps?
My rapt pill is bonded to my temperature controller, but it is not showing as bonded from the browser.
I have deleted and reconnected multiple times, factory reset, tried a different order of connection, but the web interface ignores the existing bond.

What is the pressure limits?

Does AP mode time out if you’re in calibration mode? 10 minutes might be rushing it if I want to do an advanced calibration using the wort. Thanks

Truly love all your products. However, I wonder why you’ve never created an app to make a more smooth accessible system like grandfather has.?

How do you connect the pill to your phone through Bluetooth?

How du you get the axis on the left hand side of the graph to show gravity (SG)?

Boa tarde! Meu dispositivo nao aparece a ede para conectar. Só pisca a luz verde uma vez se eu tirar e colocar a bateria. Ele nao aparece a rede kegland para conectar. Pode me ajudar?

Can I use this via Bluetooth on my phone if I ferment in an area where I can’t get wifi, if so how is the Bluetooth paired with a phone?

I really like what you're showing here. I'm curious about the temperature during calibration. I saw that on the graph, but during calibration wouldn't the temperature be very important? Conceivably you could calibrate at different temperatures with a hydrometer reading of 1.000.

HI CAN I USE THIS WITH MAKING SPIRIT WASHES?

Hello everyone. I can´t put mine in AP mode. I charged all night and when I disconnect the cable both lights go out. Any Ideas?

Just bought one of these. My modem and everything attached to it runs off 5g. It seems silly that the rapt is 2g. Im not about to start using 2.4g from my router just for the rapt. Is there a way around this .otherwise its useless.

Guess I should've done more research as I'm disappointed in that the bluetooth function only works with proprietary devices..... which I don't have. Setting this up to use wi-fi is a laborious pain in the ass and I would've opted out had I known.

Is it possible to get the reading directly from the RAPT Pill to the phone via bluetooth or wifi? WHat I mean is can I pair the RAPT Pill directly with a phone annd take one off reading. This would be usefull in case if fermenter is not in the reach of the router and I don't need to have continuous tracking.

Garbage device. Not very accurate, and one of the most user-unfriendly software programs ive ever used.

I’m trying to connect to the pill lately, and it asks me for password. I don’t remember that I set an one. How can I reset the pill?

Hello. Make a video instruction on how to use the RAPT application, please.

I have the pill, love it! Question, can I use neodyme magnets to hold a hop bag for dry hopping, or can the neodym magnet make any trouble for the pill?

It's just telling me that it provides no data after registration.

If the pill isnt staying in AP mode after you pull the USB cable.. how the heck do you debug it so it does what its supposed to.. As soon as i pull the usb cable it turns off and goes into sleep mode again.. its alive - the green led blinks sometimes. But it wont stay in AP mode.

About to take the plunge and buy the Rapt Pill and Thermometer

what's the pill password for the wifi?

Trying to set up a profile on the app you need a degree. No instructions.

Nice does it show the end product abv?

Fully charged, registerd and calibrated, but cannot find a way to get any info out of the thing. Just a 'No data has been received from your device' message. Most of the buttons on the interface do nothing, and in any case their intended functions are unclear. This device has such great potential, but let down by a clunky interface and a shortage of instructions.

Is there a screen that just shows temp and SG

How do you get the calibration screen up?

How does it go transmitting through a stainless steel fermenter?

Is it only working if the lights are flashing. Idea: have a remote to turn it back on if it gets disconnected.
