Designed to integrate seamlessly with Brewtools’ Unitanks, this kit gives you the core components needed to monitor and manage your fermentation with unrivalled accuracy and flexibility.

Why This System Is a Game-Changer:

🧠 Intelligent Fermentation Management

The included 5″ FCS Display Module and I/O Module put real-time data and control in your hands. Monitor temperature, pressure, and automated processes at a glance. With 2x RTD inputs, 5x CAN ports, and 4x relays, this is the brain of your fermentation setup—future-proofed and expandable.

🌡️ Temperature and Pressure Precision

With the PT1000 temp sensor and high-accuracy CAN BUS pressure sensor, you get lab-level data on the most critical aspects of fermentation. Pair that with Brewtools’ Spunding Valve functionality and you’re in full control of pressure fermentations, lagers, and beyond.
