To create a Pill Hydrometer Profile, Click the Add Profile button in the top left.
Then, select a Profile Type: Fermentation
Next, select a Name for your Profile (such as Belgian Dubbel)
Enter a Description for your Profile - this can be anything and is just intended for your reference.
Pill Hydrometer Profiles are different to other RAPT Profiles as RAPT Pill Hydrometers are purely measurment instruments.
Pill Hydrometer Profiles are a way to set up Alerts based on the telemetry recevied from the Pill.
This is extremely useful, especially if you are not using the Pill Hydrometer in conjunction with another RAPT device.
RAPT Pill Hydrometers will measure temperature, gravity and gravity velocity (rate of change of gravity over a specified interval).
You can set up alerts based on any of these.
For example, you can set an alert for when the gravity drops to (for example) 1.025 at which point you may wish to raise the fermentation temperature for a diacetyl rest.
You can set an alert for the gravity velocity to drop to 0, at which point fermentation is likely finished and you can begin a cold crash.
This will bring up a new dialog box which allows you to select and enter the desired alert details.
Alerts allows you to set up a custom alert for each step. You can add as many Alerts for each step as desired. You can select when to send the alert and also enter a custom Alert message (such as "Add Boil Hops Now")
You can set an alert when:
The temperature reaches {a specified temperature} - select the operator Less Than or Greater Than and Input a Temperature and Alert Message
The gravity reaches {a specified gravity} - select the operator Less Than or Greater Than and Input a Specific Gravity and Alert Message
The gravity velocity is greater/less than the specified valuereaches {a specified temperature} - select the operator Less Than or Greater Than and Input a Gravity Velocity (in points per day, where one Point = 0.001 sg) and Alert Message
To receive alerts on your mobile device, you must have the Google Play or Apple App Store app installed.
In order to receive alerts you need to select Enable Mobile App (Push) Notifications in the My Account settings. You must also enable notifications for the Google Play or App Store App on your mobile device.
Congratulations! You have made a Pill Hydrometer profile and are ready to brew!
Click the Add button to add a Alert
Once you are happy that all the Alerts are correct, make sure you hit the Save button to save the profile to your My Profiles library. You can then send it directly to your RAPT device using the Send Profile to Device button or using the Play button in the Dashboard to start a new profile!
