RAPT Pill | Hydrometer & Thermometer | Replacement Bottom Clear Housing Kegland

Replacement Bottom Clear Housing (Male Threaded) for the RAPT Pill.  

The RAPT Pill allows accurate and precise, true real-time specific gravity and temperature logging and control via wifi/bluetooth integration with the RAPT fermentation chamber (KL15813), RAPT mobile app or RAPT IOT. 

What is RAPT?

The RAPT IOT Hub is a free service whereby any RAPT enabled product can both log and store data to the hub where you can conveniently access this data.  The RAPT hub can also allow you to control your devices remotely giving you absolute control of the device irrespective of where you are.  The RAPT portal enables you to make complex temperature profiles that involve different temperature settings over time meaning you can start/run a temp profile giving you a set and forget experience.  The RAPT portal also controls the alert/notification process for you so you can receive email notification in the off instance that something doesn’t go to plan.

There is no limit to the number of RAPT devices you can connect the RAPT IOT Hub. This is in contrast to other popular wireless hydrometers where you are limited by the number of hydrometers you can connect to an app.

Please note: The RAPT Pill is fully Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capable. At present it can be integrated fully with Wi-Fi. Bluetooth integration will be enabled with a later firmware update.

Pill Housing Design

The RAPT Pill housing boasts many advantages compared to other wireless hydrometers such as:

1. Made from strong BPA Free Nylon 12 and Polyketone(POK)
   Both the clear Nylon 12 and Polyketone plast are food grade, FDA approved, BPA (and free of other types of bisphenol).  These are also plasticiser and phthalate-free.  They also contain no endocrine disruptors making them a much better choice than polycarbonate that is used in other products.  Nylon 12 and POK are also high temperature resistant, chemically resistant and extremely robust.
2. Greater ergonomics – The shape of the RAPT Pill has been designed for improved usability compared to other wireless hydrometers such that the Pill separates into two pieces at the midline of the Pill rather than requiring a difficult to remove end cap to be unscrewed.
3. Sanitary design – The RAPT Pill has no exposed thread and a double o-ring seal which allows for a water-tight seal with reduced risk of infection.
4. Less susceptible to error – The larger housing of the RAPT Pill compared to other wireless hydrometers means that the gravity logging is less susceptible to error from krausen, hops or CO2 bubbles from fermentation.
