One place for your brewing hardware

The BierBot Bricks software is an open platform. Aside from the official Brick – which can be used for controlling mashtuns, fermenters and pumps – you can also add more devices:

BierBot Temperature Controller

Meet the hardware: The BierBot Brick 2.

The BierBot Brick offers two relays, one temperature sensor and buttons to manually overwrite the outputs. Connect it to your brewery to control and measure temperatures,  pumps, and other equipment.

Specifications:

  • Cable lengths: AC input 1m, AC output 1m each, temperature sensor 2 m
  • Input: 100-240V @ 50/60Hz, 15A max
  • Output: 100-240V @ 50/60Hz, 15A combined (AC1 + AC2) max
  • 2.4GHz WiFi 802.11 b/g/n
  • DS18B20 temperature sensor, accuracy 0.1°C
  • CE certified, RoHS certified
supported configurations

The Brick 2 supports your setup

No matter how your setup looks like, the Brick 2 plugs right in:

  • Mash kettle: AC1 for heating, AC2 for the agitator.
  • BIAB: AC1 controls the heating, AC2 controls the pump.
  • Fermenter (refrigerator): AC1 controls the heating mat, AC2 controls the cooling (glycol or refrigerator).
  • HERMS: AC1 controls the HLT heating rods (if you have more than 3.5kW heating power, you can use several bricks), AC2 controls the MLT pump through HLT.

Features

Smartphone fermentation and mash temperature control

The BierBot Brick offer a switchable socket with up to 3.5kW of power, into which any heating plate (for brewing) or refrigerator (for fermentation) can be plugged in and controlled. So you can use it first for brewing with the heating plate and then simply plug it into your fridge for fermentation.

Power supply for mash and circulation

The BierBot Bricks socket can also be used to power a DC transformer which can then power your stirring equipment (DC-Motor, Pump) during mashing. This, however, requires a second BierBot Brick. You can also use the remaining power of your BierBot Brick switching the heating to switch on and off your circulation equipment.

Access from everywhere

Do want to start your heating up your kettle in the morning before heading to the brewery or do you want to check your fermentation status remotely? We got you. With Bricks it's as easy as opening a website - no need to setup port forwards, DynDNS and deal with not so static local IPs.

Extensive logs

The BierBot Bricks records all data and keeps them available. Thanks to the brew number and further information, such as the average temperature during a recipe step, the exact mashing or fermentation process can be traced even weeks later.

Recipe management

Create and edit recipes. Each recipe consists of any number of recipe steps, each containing the target temperature, the status of the circulation and the abort criterion (Timebased/Manual).

Simple setup

The BierBot is ready for action in a flash: We made a YouTube video that shows you how to build your own for just $25.

Found your brewery

You can invite your fellow-brewers to your brewerey. This way, you can tune your recipes together with your friends, you can share your controlled hardware and monitor temperatures during brewday together - even remotely.

It's really fun! Had not expected that one can get out so much for my HERMS plant with BierBot Bricks. I really like it 👍
