RED - RAPT Pill Hydrometer & Thermometer (includes 18650 battery) kit
Description
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.
The RAPT Pill acts as both a real-time gravity testing hydrometer and thermometer allowing instant gravity and temperature measurements and also logging from inside your fermenter during fermentation.
The RAPT Pill boasts many advantages over other wireless hydrometers and thermometers including tough design, better ergonomics, sanitary design and less susceptible to error as a result of hops, krausen or CO2 bubbles generated from fermentation.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Ensure the RAPT Pill is charged for 24 hours before use. This is to ensure that it is fully charged and the battery is callibrated.
Once the RAPT Pill is connected via USB-C and connected to wifi, the firmware will automatically update to the current version (if needed). The Pill must be plugged in via USB-C and connected to wifi in order to receive firmware updates.
All RAPT Pill units come with a Yellow top housing. This is a coloured kit to distinguish between multiple pills.
Red RAPT Pill - Hydrometer & Thermometer (Wifi & Bluetooth)
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ACCESSORY
The pill hydrometer will need to be charged periodically with a USB type C cable. Every time you open and close the pill its possible that you have not done up the housing to the same tightness. As a result it's a good idea to mark the housing so you always do up the two halves to the same tightness or alternatively re-calibrate the device. If however you purchase this wireless charging device here you can avoid opening and closing the pill when charging. This greatly increases the accuracy and eliminates the need to continue to keep calibrating.

The RAPT Pill allows 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.
The RAPT Pill allows you to instantly read and log the specific gravity and temperature of your fermentation via the RAPT mobile app on your compatible Android smartphone or tablet, Apple iPhone/iPad or via the RAPT IOT hub on your Windows or Mac Computer.
The RAPT Pill has a long battery life and can last 2-5 months between charges when utilising Wifi. If only using Bluetooth the the battery can last 2+ years before needing to be recharged. The RAPT Pill has a USB-C charging port on the circuit board allowing fast charging from any USB-C cable.
60min telemetry frequency - 1.5 years
15min telemetry frequency - 5 months
The RAPT Pill has an optional upgradable external antenna (sold seperately) which can be installed onto the circuit board allowing the RAPT Pill signal to pass through thick-walled stainless fermenters such as kegmenters (KL06866) which other wireless hydrometers struggle to penetrate.
The RAPT Pill is universal and is compatible with most standard carboys, cornelius kegs, stainless steel fermenters and pressurisable fermenters.
Pill Housing Design
The RAPT Pill housing boasts many advantages compared to other wireless hydrometers such as:
- Made from strong BPA Free Tritan Plastic
- Greater ergonomics - The shape of the RAPT Pill has been designed for improved usability compared to other wireless hydrometers such that the Pill seperates into two pieces at the midline of the Pill rather than requiring a difficult to remove end cap to be unscrewed.
- 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.
- 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.
Different housing colours are sold seperately on the website allowing customisation of your RAPT Pill. The colours available include:
KL20602 RAPT Pill - Red Housing
KL20619 RAPT Pill - Blue Housing
KL20626 RAPT Pill - Green Housing
KL26239 RAPT Pill - Yellow Housing
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 wifi and Bluetooth capable. Bluetooth integration requires a compatible RAPT
All RAPT Pill units come with a Yellow top housing. This is a coloured kit to distinguish between multiple pills.
Colours range from, Red, Green and Blue.
