A few highlights of Precision Fermentation or BrewMonitor in the news:

Our customers have also seen success this year. With BrewMonitor:

  • One customer added 5-6 generations to his yeast usage, cutting his annual yeast bill in half. 
  • Another customer used data from BrewMonitor to alter their process, allowing them to double their monthly production volume by saving up to a week in tank time. 
  • A customer received an automated alert when a glycol failure occurred, allowing them to save the batch

We’ve also been working diligently behind the scenes to make updates to our console and monitor based on customer feedback. Check out our recent announcement of BrewIQ, the next generation of our fermentation management system.
