FCS is a modular control system designed, developed and manufactured by Brewtools in Norway.
The vision behind the system is to take industrial technology and make that available for microbreweries and homebrewers. Using the latest electronic component technology and clever software engineering, we are able to make features that used to be very expensive and complicated available for everyone.
The system can measure temperature, pressure, density/gravity*, level* and power consumption and based on that - control cooling, heating, pressure/co2 in, pressure/co2 out, agitation*, automatic hop additions* under pressure and more! Fermentation profiles will automate the whole process and give you ultimate control of your fermentation process. (* Not available at first launch.)
The system will also constantly monitor the process and notify you if something isn't right. For example, we measure the current draw of solenoid valves and heating elements, and will notify you if these components aren't working as they should.
