US-based biochemistry technology solutions provider Precision Fermentation has launched its new BrewMonitor System, a fermentation monitoring solution for the craft beer industry.

The system is said to offer a new paradigm for fermentation monitoring and product quality assurance for brewers. It replaces the traditional ad hoc sampling and testing system with a fully automated, live-streamed management process.

Precision Fermentation CEO Daniel Kulenic said: “There has never been a way to unlock the vast amount of information contained in the moment-to-moment interaction of yeast and wort inside the fermentation tank.

“The benefits range from cost savings via remote monitoring and accurate fermentation completion to understanding the exact conditions required by each flavour profile.”

“BrewMonitor makes this a reality, and the value of streaming fermentation data to any PC, tablet or smartphone is immense.

“The benefits range from cost savings via remote monitoring and accurate fermentation completion to understanding the exact conditions required by each flavour profile, to easily assessing yeast health before major problems arise.”

Precision Fermentation is an integrated hardware-software system that uses Internet of Things (IoT) technology to provide a continual visibility into live beer fermentations. It is claimed to offer brewers dramatic gains in product control and enhance operational efficiency and cost savings.

In addition, BrewMonitor is said to offer regional craft brewers, microbreweries and brewpubs to leverage fully data-driven fermentation to expand artistic horizons.

The BrewMonitor System will be available for purchase from next month.
