Ordering Instructions
Ancillary Materials Needed For BeerBotz System Operation:
- Windows™ PC (Windows 10) with Microsoft Office™ installed (Office
2013™ or Office 2016™). The "Pro" version of Office is preferred
so you have the option to save to an Access™ database.
- Temperature Probe Equipment: Temperature probe cables are run from BeerBotz interface
to the location at which they are needed. As such, the cables are a custom length
and the ends/connectors need to be installed after the cable is installed. This
process is outlined in the
Thermocouple Assembly video.
The temperature probe equipment (Type-J thermocouples,
wire and connectors) can be ordered directly from Omega Engineering
(Omega Engineering - Thermocouples).
Example Omega part numbers are listed in the Thermocouple Assembly video.
- Ethernet cables and connectors for gas meters: These cables and connectors are also
installed on-site as outlined in the
Gas meter connections video.
The cable for the air meters is standard Cat 5e/RJ45 with the gigabit ethernet
straight-through pinnout (8 conductor), and are readily available.
BeerBotz Interface and Gas Meters
Field Testing Option
You can get a BeerBotz device & gas meter for free if you will agree to share your batch data
with us for a year. This will be used to further refine the "Batch Score" technique as a
quality assurance methodology. If this interests you, check out:
BeerBotz Field Testing for more information.
Leasing Option
Do you want to try this thing out to see if it works? Of course you do! You can lease a
BeerBotz device and one gas meter for $250/month. Contact info@beerbotz.com to set up a
leasing order.
We will do a free installation for locations in the Chicago area only. What do you have to lose?
(well, 250 dollars).

Air Meter Table
When you place your order, you need to specificy a Honeywell™ air meter part number. The gas
meter you choose has to accomodate the maximum volume of gas that your system can produce. The table
below is a short summary of the the maximum fermenter/wort volume supported by each of the different
meters (1 barrel = 31.5 gallons). (This assumes a starting wort gravity of 1.055 and temperature of
65℉.) Please refer the Hardware Overview for a
more detailed description of the process of choosing the correct gas meter for your application. On
that page, there is also an interactive gas meter selection tool
here.
Any questions... call us!
The air meter you specify is mounted to a custom BeerBotz "Air Meter Box". This box serves the
purpose of interfacing the AWM meter to the BeeerBotz interface.
