Homebrewers have been repurposing refrigerators for fermentation temperature control since as far back as we can remember—and with good reason. These appliances provide excellent insulation from outside temperatures, are usually large enough to fit a typical fermenter used for 5-gallon batches, and provide incredibly even temperature distribution compared to immersed cooling coils. But to call the RAPT a refrigerator made for brewers would be doing this unit a huge disservice. KegLand has engineered a fermentation chamber that cools, heats, and automatically guides your beer through your very own programmed fermentation profiles which can be monitored and controlled remotely via WiFi or Bluetooth. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tVirtually any homemade product can be greatly improved with perfect temperature control. The RAPT Fermentation Chamber gives you an electrically efficient means of setting, monitoring and controlling temperature which is perfect for beer making, wine making, salami making, leavening bread, fermenting yogurt, kombucha, kimchi, sauerkraut, making cheers, spirit washes, germinating seeds, growing sprouts, and much, much more. Accurate temp control is one of the most crucial factors to getting reliable and repeatable results.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tThe RAPT's control panel comes complete with an integrated color TFT screen. The 4-button color display conveniently shows a log of historic temperature graphs, allows you to start\/set\/stop temperature profiles, and gives you access to other critical information for that particular fermentation. An integrated secondary regulator can be used to regulate gas into the fridge with the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/duotight-inline-regulator-gauge.html\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eDuotight In-Line Regulator\u003c\/a\u003e on one side, and on the other you can install an integrated \u003ca href=\"\/products\/blowtie-diaphragm-spunding-valve-gauge.html\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eBlowTie 2 Spunding Valve\u003c\/a\u003e to regulate residual pressure in your fermenter.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tFor more accurate readings of the core temperature of your fermenter,  we highly recommend using a thermowell and the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/65-ft-extension-probe-rapt-fermentation-chamber.html\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e6.5 ft. probe extension\u003c\/a\u003e.

In particularly cold climates where the ambient temp is below zero, this fridge can warm your kegs and prevent them from freezing. This fridge also has a higher keg storage capacity than a conventional kegerator that takes up the same footprint. This unit can hold 4 x 5-gallon kegs on the floor and has enough headroom that you can also fit another layer of 2.5-gallon half size kegs above. To fit beer taps you can drill your own holes through the door.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is RAPT?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tRAPT is a dedicated Internet of Things (IOT) Hub for fermentation logging and control. It's a free service whereby any RAPT-enabled product can both log and store data to the hub where you can conveniently access it. 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 notifications in the off chance that something doesn't go to plan.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tIntegrated Heating: 50W Heating Power\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tCooling Capacity: 300W Cooling Power\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tMax Power Consumption: 225W\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tRefrigerant: r600a\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tConnectivity: WiFi (802.11) and Bluetooth\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tTemperature Accuracy: +\/- 0.1°C\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tTemp Resolution: 0.1°C\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tIntegrated Screen: 2.8\" (diagonal) 320 x 240 Color LCD TFT Active Matrix\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\t110V\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tETL Certified\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t\u003cstrong\u003eExternal Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tWidth: 21.25\"\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tDepth: 24\"\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tHeight: 69.3\"\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t\u003cstrong\u003eInternal Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tWidth: 17.3\"\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tDepth: 19.6\"\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tHeight: 51.2\"\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t\u003cstrong\u003eWhy Buy a Fridge Over a Glycol Chiller?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tAlthough we've had great success controlling fermentation temps with an immersed cooling apparatus with a glycol chiller providing the cooling solution, these setups do present several potential issues:\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003col\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tGlycol chillers often require a very cold liquid to enter into a fermenter causing an excessively cold part in the fermenter core which leads to uneven temperature distribution.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tGlycol chillers consume significant amounts of power and in most instances more than double what this fridge would consume.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tGlycol chillers often result in spilling sticky glycol especially when hoses are connected and disconnected to the fermenter. \u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tGlycol chillers generally require penetrations through the walls\/lid of the fermenter making the fermenter less sanitary and requiring more cleaning.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tOften fermenters are not made with sufficient insulation, so when using a glycol chiller much of the chilling is lost to the ambient environment. This is not only power inefficient but you can end up with a large temperature gradient. This temperature gradient can result in convection currents in the fermenter that make it difficult for yeast and other solids to settle out of suspension so clarification of the beer takes significantly longer.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tMany glycol chillers and fermenter combinations do not have sufficient power or are not well enough insulated to cool to sub-freezing temperatures so cold crashing is not possible. This is a significant compromise to a temperature-controlled solution and also results in less ability to clarify the finished beer.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tFor these reasons KegLand has developed the world's first dedicated RAPT-enabled fermentation chamber that can cool down to -2°C (28°F) and heat up to 50°C (122°F) even in hot and cold weather.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tKegLand Part Number: KL18258\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n","brand":"KegLand","offers":[{"title":"Solid Door","offer_id":51917969195297,"sku":"FE975","price":1299.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Glass Door","offer_id":51917969228065,"sku":"FE975B","price":1699.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0955\/7521\/2321\/files\/62093.jpg?v=1760501556","url":"https:\/\/morebeer.mom\/products\/rapt-temperature-controlled-fermentation-chamber","provider":"MoreBeer!","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
