Review on 🌡️ Black Tilt Wireless Hydrometer and Thermometer by Allan Duman

Advantages: The start and end of fermentation can be easily recognized without sampling. Almost continuous information. The Google Sheet hosted site is already set up and easy to use. Cons: Requires a dedicated smart device in always-on mode for continuous reading. in short - the smart device has to be almost in the fermenter to get a reading. Can't communicate through all fermentation chambers (My phone must be in the fridge, some cones don't work with it). Requires multi-point calibration to get accurate readings. Gravity indicator reset. on sourdough, Krausen, fermenter walls, CO2, etc. There is nothing mentioned in the accompanying instructions about the need for multi-point calibration or the 'Krausen effect' which causes a density increase (yes, an increase) at the start of fermentation. Price My biggest advantage is that I can get a static hydrometer reading for 3 consecutive days to know that fermentation is complete. With this device I noticed that the end of the fermentation seemed to take longer than I could read on the hydrometer and this caused me to prolong the fermentation by several days than before. Improvements The device can use Wi-Fi instead of Bluetooth and optionally connect to the PC application. Then there would be no need to waste a smart device (and that's a screen!). In the attached material, mention the sensitivity to PBW (mine sat in PBW for 2 days before I read on the website that it could be harmful.), the Krausen effect and the multi-point calibration required. Or just add a link to your website and remove the "quick start" implying that the device is ready to use. controller), so charging $130 for a device is absurd.
