Rapt Pill
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- Made an IPA on Saturday, and I have a brand new Rapt Pill floating in it giving me data and graphs. I can't stop looking at it!
- I'm keen to see if the RAPT Pill will expose and also if anyone has managed to get Grainfather gear in there, be cool to run fermentation profiles from HASS as that's a missing feature from their ecosystem which the RAPT system does allow
- Also, i use calibrated RAPT Pill and Inkbird temperature controller, both readings was pretty close to each other with difference of 0.3 celsius.
- I synced it to a Rapt Pill so I can monitor fermentation through the keg (wifi readings aren't as good as Bluetooth for this).
- I also am testing my new rapt pill right now. This thing rocks lol.
Cons
- Parent context: I once forgot to reset my spunding valve and my pill got to experience 4 bar of pressure. When I took it apart, one half flew across the room like a champagne cork. Reply: Yeah me too (pun intended), I thought if it's sea...
- I've had it for less that a year, the orings were intact. Somehow the pressure managed to get in
- But pill wasn't exactly cheap.
- So today I transfered my Czech lager from fermzilla to the kegs and I found that RAPT Pill opened and all electronics was in beer and yeast for whole month. I don't get why it opened itself when I always close it well. I doubt it will be...
- I find it interesting (surprising) that we can't purchase the Graviator in the USA, apparently, due to a patent conflict/issue with the RAPT Pill, which is designed in Australia (made in China) by Kegland.

Reply: Yeah me too (pun intended), I thought if it's sealed it will be fine. Seems like pressure got inside and when I did cold crash pressure difference was enough to blow the one part from the other.

So today I transfered my Czech lager from fermzilla to the kegs and I found that RAPT Pill opened and all electronics was in beer and yeast for whole month. I don't get why it opened itself when I always close it well. I doubt it will be working again, even some parts of the paint on the PCB went off. Crap.

The Pill has kraeusen on it, sort of confirming the common knowledge that these digital tilting hydrometers are less than reliable after fermentation
