RAPT Pill Hydrometer & Thermometer
The RAPT Pill is a smart, wireless hydrometer and thermometer that gives you real-time gravity and temperature logging during fermentation. Connect via WiFi or Bluetooth and monitor everything through the RAPT app (iOS & Android), the RAPT IoT Hub (desktop), or directly via your RAPT Fermentation Chamber / Temperature Controller.
Perfect for carboys, Cornelius kegs, stainless fermenters, and pressurisable vessels.
Live Gravity & Temperature Tracking
- True real-time SG & temperature readings
- Automatic logging to the cloud
- View fermentation curves from anywhere
- Works with RAPT mobile app & IoT web portal
Hygienic & Durable Housing
Made from BPA-free Nylon 12 and Polyketone (POK):
- Food-safe, FDA-approved
- No bisphenols, plasticisers, or phthalates
- High chemical & temperature resistance
- Robust and long-lasting
Sanitary engineering:
- Splits at the midline for easy access
- No exposed threads
- Double O-ring watertight seal
- Larger body = less affected by krausen, hops, CO₂ bubbles (better accuracy)
Exceptional Battery Life
- WiFi mode: 2–5 months
- Bluetooth-only mode: 2+ years
- USB-C charging port on board
- Includes Li-Ion 18650 (EVE brand) battery
Telemetry battery life:
- 60 min interval: ~1.5 years
- 30 min interval: ~9.5 months
- 15 min interval: ~5 months
(Default telemetry = 60 min)
Bluetooth Bridge Mode (Recommended)
Using a RAPT Fermentation Chamber or RAPT Temperature Controller unlocks:
- Far better penetration through fridges & stainless
- Lower power usage = longer battery life
- More accurate core temperature readings
- Gravity-based automation & fermentation control
Important
Charge the Pill for 24 hours before first use to fully calibrate the battery.
Firmware updates install automatically when connected via WiFi + USB-C.
Customisable
Additional coloured housings sold separately:
Red • Blue • Green • Transparent
(Shipped with Yellow pre-installed)
For hassle-free charging, upgrade to the Wireless Charging RAPT Pill version.
What Is RAPT?
RAPT is a free cloud platform that:
- Stores your fermentation data
- Allows remote monitoring & control
- Enables automated temperature profiles
- Sends email alerts
- Supports unlimited devices
Specifications
