    Awesome video! USA here, northwest suburbs of Chicago. That hydrometer would be monitoring fermentation of course but would also help timing of dry hops in NEIPAs, when to close PRV and start spunding, all kinds of things, without having to pull samples. First beer going into that glass is our Key Lime Pie Sour!!

    It's crazy how Kegland keeps coming up with new nice products! I'm curious when it'll be available in Germany.
    The Pill would be a nice addition to my other Kegland Equipment.
    During my semester abroad in Spain some brewers gave me a recipe of a really nice West Coast IPA which is currently fermenting. So i'd pour "Una Amarga" into that glas :)

  • @LouB3rt
    @LouB3rt Рік тому

    USA. To help track my fermentations. I have a Tripel currently fermenting, I made in honor of my son being born- that would be the first beer I drank out of the glass! Great videos as always, cheers. 🍻

    Another awesome vid brother ! I've used my chamber about the same amount as you. I also live here in the states down in Texas and use my system mostly for German lagers but definitely gonna pour a glass of my west coast ipa before the heat hits down here. Keep it coming.

  • @AngaryGranny

    11:30 is the absolute best advice for the chamber. I couldn't do much with mine until I upper the difference. And thanks to your video for the confidence to do it.

    Good to have you back! I'm in the UK and haven't used the Pill before. I'd use it on my next Pilsner. Hoppy pale ale is what i'd put in that glass.cheers!

  • @hywellecrass9985

    Good to have you back with another review. Watching all the way from Sweden where, if I'd be the lucky one, I'd put that pill in the West Coast Pils that's in the BT 150 soon (and that's what I'd put in your glass too). Cheers.

  • @Pichdulac

    Great video! This fermentation chamber seems like a great option to improve control, and with the Rapt pill it can be much easier Thank you so much.

  • @KegLand
    @KegLand Рік тому +4

    Thanks for that Bradley. Hope you get some great use out of this unit. All our staff use these in Australia and I think they are really a better option than glycol in my opinion.

    • @PortlyGentleman
      @PortlyGentleman  Рік тому

      I've gotten quite a bit of really good use out of it so far... No plans of stopping using it you'd have to fight me to get it out of the brewery. It is one hell of an option that's for damn sure 🍻

    Morning coffee and a new brewing video release…doesn’t get better than that. Excellent overview of the fermentation chamber. I’ve seen several review videos and I think you’re the first to point out the hose routing and drain basin. Having the RAPT pill tied to the chamber allowing you to not have to pull samples is a great feature. Plus it can be synced to Brewfather so win-win. I’m a U.S. brewer and I think the first beer that’d go in your glassware is a zombie dust clone.

  • @alexortiz3706
    @alexortiz3706 Рік тому +1

    Your video helped me on deciding to get a RAPT fermentation chamber today.
    I'm in the US and going to use the pill to help track the progress of the fermenting beer.
    The first beer going into the cup is definitely a hazy.
    Thanks again for the great video!

  • @RCAC03
    @RCAC03 Рік тому +1

    Keep up the great videos. I'm in the USA, always looking to improve my brews. A RAPT Pill would validate the fermentation progress looking for a steady state FG. I'd fill your glass with my dry Irish stout.

  • @brandongoy7296
    @brandongoy7296 Рік тому

    Very cool how the pill pairs the the RAPT fermentation chamber! I won't have anything as fancy but it would be a great addition for me as I love analysing the data and seeing how different brews ferment. I'm from Canada and will use the glass with my next batch which I'm brewing to celebrate the birth of my son! Thanks for the great content!

  • @stevesmith2142
    @stevesmith2142 Рік тому

    Great Video. I live in Scotland in the UK. First beer in the Portly Gentleman glass will be a Hazy IPA. RAPT Pill will be handy to assist with my Home Brewing (mainly 23-25L batches) :)

  • @drjeremyeberle
    @drjeremyeberle Рік тому

    Love the enthusiasm for yet another great Kegland product! I'm in the USA. Currently, I'm using an iSpindel but would love to add the RAPT Pill to my arsenal. This year, I'm brewing a lot of lagers, so I'm sure a Munich Helles is going to be the first pour in that glass.

  • @jbroff65
    @jbroff65 Рік тому +1

    Cocoa Beach Florida here. First beer into that glass would be a west coast IPA. Pill would help me better track fermentation while minimizing risk of oxidation. Brew on!

    I'm so happy to see you're back making vids again. You were one of the people that made me jump onto Brewtools wagon especially with your detailed vids.
    I I've in usa. I would be using the pill for upgrading my fermentations with better gravity measurements and temps. My 1st beer in your glass would be an ESB or tripel depending on when it came😁

  • @chriskulesza1614
    @chriskulesza1614 Рік тому

    Man it is good to see these videos again that are not biased when getting free stuff from these manufacturers. Granted I have a Spike Flex+ and I doubt it would fit with the valve on. I would definitely use the pill for fermentation and temp tracking in my fermentors. Also when I do pressure fermented lagers it would be great to keep track of the gravity. I live in the US.

  • @Sleeeeepy_D
    @Sleeeeepy_D Рік тому

    Great video, definitely looks like a great alternative to a glycol system! Out here in Colorado we have basements that help maintain fermentation temps but that chamber would really help to dial in control. That pill hydrometer would help me keep tabs on what’s happening with my lager ferments, something I have been desperately needing! It’s going to be spring soon so I think a kolsch would look great in that glass!!

  • @tbone1383
    @tbone1383 Рік тому +1

    Had my eye on this for awhile so this review was perfectly timed. Living in the USA and gonna use the pill to more tightly dial in all my fermentations. Brew a ton of hefe and German styles so always experimenting with temps and final characteristics. That glass would see the first beer of summer for me my Hazy NEIPA Julius clone. Fantastic content keep it coming!

    • @PortlyGentleman

    Hey Bradley. Another great video. I have just ordered one of these. Question though - does the 55L fermzilla fit inside with the hop bong attached to the top?

  • @Queenofcraft
    @Queenofcraft Рік тому +1

    Brilliant video, and yes the excitement shows, as it should! I would also go for the RAPT chamber over glycol if I had my time again. I live in a sub tropical environment in Australia and the condensation is a real issue for me. I did my first run in the chamber a few weeks ago and was thrilled with the results in energy efficiency compared to my old chest freezer and glycol units and also with the ease of use when paired with the Pill. I'll definitely be purchasing another.

    • @PortlyGentleman
      @PortlyGentleman  Рік тому

      Nice I can imagine and a subtropical environment it would make a difference. Kind of similar to me here in California certain times of the year 🍻

    Nice work mate! I’m an Aussie living in Finland and I understand your excitement on the product , kegland do have some awesome products and are cranking out more all the time. Just wish I was back home to buy more of them.
    I would use the pill to ferment beer and that glass cold be used for a home brewed helles.
    Good to see you back mate👍🍻

    Former NorCal brewer here! I live in Utah now and your review of the BeerMKR was what got me into brewing in the first place. The RAPT catalog, especially the Pill, has been a want of mine since they came out! I desperately want to make a whole RAPT catalog in my brewery for ultimate synchronized brewing!! I think the first beer I would put in your glass would be the Dark Lager I brewed to enter into a local competition... My first! Cheers!

  • @marklpaulick
    @marklpaulick Рік тому +1

    Hey Bradley glad you are back! I’m in the US (central coast CA) and would use the pill in my kegmenters. I’ve got a spike CF10, I wonder if it would fit in this chamber, surprised at how much I like this thing after your review. I’m pretty committed to avoiding glycol and this thing would really be a slick alternative. Anyhoo, nice glasses I’d be sure to enjoy some Green Cheek hazy IPA in mine, I just got their cans for the first time delish!

    Hey Bradley. Thanks for the review. This will definitely be my next home brew purchase. I live in the US. I have never used a pill or any other float hydrometer so this would be great to pair with the fridge. I'd fill that glass several times with a Kölsch I'm brewing for the spring.
    Cheers

    Kegland is not only keeping up with homebrewers, they are leading the pack!
    I'm in the good ole USA and I'd use the Pill on the 1-2 batches I brew each month because I like techy stuff. I think the first beer I would use it with would be my favorite home brewed beer, Men in Black IPA!
    Cheers Bradley!

    Great video and have looked at this before. I live in the USA, A little north of Boston. That pill hydrometer would work out great in my lagers to help me pin down when the "D" rest needs to happen. I got to say that glass would look good filled with my Billy B's Harrison Lager. Glad to see you back at it and love the content

    Hi Bradley, another great video. The fermentaition chamber seems to be a good invention. I brew in Germany and the rapt pill would have the great fun to swim in my beer inside the fermenter. The glass would be filled up with my actual vienna lager, if you send it fast enough before the keg is empty😅

  • @GHabets

    awesome and informational video again. I had been looking into buying a pill myself, but found it still quite pricey.

    Nice informative video! I live in the USA. I currently ferment one batch at a time due to equipment constraints, however, I'm looking to expand my fermentation equipment to run multiple batches at once. The RAPT Pill would be a great addition. The first beer I would put into the glass is my Ordinary Bitter which has finished fermenting and will be hitting the keg this Friday! 😎

  • @fastforwardx2937

    Awesome video and overview on the RAPT fermentation chamber, seems to have so many features! I am in the USA. I would use the pill hydrometer to monitor my beer while it is fermenting in a keg, would be a hazy IPA. The first beer going into the Portly Gentleman glass is an Altbier that I currently have fermenting! Thanks for creating this content.

    As always I enjoyed your video - I have missed you. I do not have the space for the fermentation chamber but I wish I did. It is awesome, and thanks for the overview. Now I want it even more… I live en Denmark. It is cold, windy, and rainy, so the first beer going into your glass will be a strong Belgian Trappist ale to keep me warm and happy. The pill will be used for beer fermenting. Probably mostly Belgian beer styles and some American west coast IPA and amber ales. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and for great content on your channel. Happy brewing everyone.

    Great video Brad! I live in Norway and have one of these as well as a lot of other RAPT equipment. I love this fermentation chamber and have had about 4 brews in it so far. I am seriously thinking about getting another one actually so another RAPT pill would be perfect to use along with a new chamber. My first beer in your glass would be my Nøgne Ø Nordic Noir which is a Nordic Imperial Stout at 16% :)

    I've bought several Kegland products and I'm happy with all of them. This looks like a nice addition to save up for. I'm in the USA and I'd like to start monitoring my fermentations with a bit more technology. As for the first beer that I'd put in the glass, I'd have to say it'd be my first all grain Galaxy/Citra IPA that I made in November. That beer turned out fabulous for something I made up on my own.

    USA, and I would use it for high abv beer that requires additional sugar feeding during fermentation to keep the yeast healthy. It would be nice to see the SG change without constant hydrometer readings after every addition. As for the glass, depending on what I still have, either my west coast ipa I currently have, or a honey ipa I have fermenting for early spring!

    Hello from Sweden. Thanx for a nice, fun and informative video. I would use the pill in my kegmenter in one of my fermentation chambers. The first beer in the glass would be a German blackbeer I've made last week.

    Hi Bradley, brilliant video as usual!
    I'd love to tie the pill to one of the first batches of beer coming out of our new B80pro here in The Netherlands :-)
    Your videos have been awesome in making a decision on what to buy as a replacement brewing system, and I'd pour some of our MjenGo Mango NEIPA in the PG glass to celebrate!
    Cheers!

    I live in USA. I use a few Kegland products but have not tried the pill or the Rapt. Id use the pill hydrometer for an upcoming brew im planning for a mead and a cider. I have only ever done beer, and I would love to begin branching out to ciders and meads. For the glass I would put a Candy Orange IPA.

    great review of the fermentation chamber they look great , if i was to win i would be using the pill for fermentation and bonding it to the chamber or temp controller from kegland .
    and most likely use the pill for brewing a white stout ready for the cool winter months of Australia Top stuff again Brad

    Hi man!! I come from Italy, I have been a homebrewer for a few years and I can't wait to move my production from the garage to the house, and this would be a great help when I would have the web connection again. Would be a dream. I would use it inside the new stainless steel fermenter I bought, certainly to make a Hazy IPA or other very hoppy beer. As the first beer in the glass, however, I would probably opt for one of the new arrivals directly from Paris, the "Aimez, Aimez 2023", a Cold IPA with Azacca, Citra and Amarillo from the FAUVES Microbrewery!!! Fingers crossed and hoping to win, HAPPY BEER EVERYONE!!!

    Thanks for this thorough look at this system. I can’t wait for the Pill to get here to the U. S. I’m having trouble figuring out when to dry hop my IPAs and the Pill could be the answer. It seems like the best floating hydrometer out there. The software that accompanies it looks much more user friendly than what I’ve used thus far. I’m going to brew my Pils soon. If I get a glass from you that’s what I’m drinking’! Thanks again from Rhode Island🍻

    I'm from the United States and I would use the pill hydrometer exclusively for brewing beer and other fermented libations.
    The first beer in my Portly Gentleman glass will be my Scottish Export that is currently bubbling away in my fermenter.

    Hey Bradley! I'm an expat brewer hailing from Germany. I'm just starting my beer brewing journey, though I've been brewing cider for years now and hopefully making a very small production in the next few years. This RAPT pill would do wonders as I start to perfect my recipes because I am also interested in making my own RAPT fermentation keezer as well. The first thing to go into that glass will be a nice and classic Kölsch from Cologne which is about 4 hours train from where I live. Great content as always, and I love the bloopers at the end.

    So good to be getting regular posts from you again (yup blatant fluffing to get one of those pils :-D ). For real though and seems like your getting some great products to try out from a few different brands. I think you should tone down the excitement as it was this that greatly influenced my purchase of a Brewtools all in one system so just stop it for the sake of my marriage!
    The Kegland fermenter fridge looks like a complete, well thought through bit of kit. Like everything Kegland seem to develop its for the homebrewing community and man are they showing the way!
    Slowly improving my gear and setup where I see good benefit and a digital hydrometer would be a great addition. Love NEIPA's and with hop creep I would say one of those pils would be ideal for checking that additional fermentation is complete without keep sampling. On that note It would be a nice fruity hazy I would stick in the glass first. Might be predictable but it's those beers, and a COVID lockdown, that got me brewing. Anyway I'm in England and on this Sunday morning its cold and wet (ok no surprise) so hey cheer me up with a Pil & a Glass.
    Keep up the great video's and honest opinions, Cheers.

    You did a great job describing the Rapt systems from your personal experience. I’m in central Calif. Where it gets very hot 19:25 and could certainly benefit from a temp controlled system with a small foot print. Plan on making a carbomb stout when it’s all said and done. Take care my friend.

    Very informative video, I just started homebrewing. So have bought the RAPT Temperature Controller Max 10A. 220-240V EU which will be my way of controlling the fermentation process. It must be even more accurate with such a sensor in the fermentation vessel. 😇I want to brew an Amundsen Ink & Dagger IPA. I live in Norway. and preferably toasts with IPA in the glass. Thank you very much for your videos, I learn a lot in a great way. Best regards, Jens

    Awesome video, been eyeing up conical unitanks but cleaning time of all the parts and glycol units puts me off... what a great all in one solution the Rapt Fermentation chamber is... would cost a lot less too.
    I live downunder in Australia, stoked to have such an innovative company such as Kegland close by. I’d use the pill hydrometer to avoid taking samples to know when to dry hop, save heaps of time not having to clean equipment up... first beer in those cool Bradley glasses would have to be a homebrew pastry stout, cheers 🍻

    Hey Bradley, thanks for the video! I’m in the USA (Pennsylvania), and I’ve had my eye on the Rapt ecosystem for a little while now (your video may have sold me on the chamber). Currently using a Tilt, which is great, but am interested that the pill hydrometer has both a rechargeable battery and wifi capability. Would also love something that communicates directly with a fermentation chamber. I currently have a Mexican lager that is conditioning for summer, so that would probably be the first beer I’d drink out of a Portly Gentleman glass. Thank you for all the great content, keep the good work!

    Oh … I live in France and I will use the pill as a back up to the one I already have and perhaps monitor 2 beers in my Ferm chamber… gonna do a BIG MAN Pastry stout and use that in the Portly Gentleman Glass…. And the Sommabitch works is all you needed to say!

    I converted a restaurant display refrigerator into something rather similar to the RAPT fermentation chamber, though I'm not sure the racks I have in there would hold as much weight 🤣. Love the concept and glad to see they are innovating. I nearly bought a glycol chiller and so glad I didn't (hate, hate, hate the condensation headaches).
    I currently reside in Kenya, though I am in the US two months out of the year. I'd use the pill to get a better reading of my brews, temperature and gravity wise. My first beer in the PG glass would be a Gose I made from the collected yeast in my garden.
