Hello everyone,
I have been using a Beer Bug, was actually one of the first to use on their Kick Starter, but the device has finally kicked the bucket. I am looking for a replacement but I wanted to start a discussion about the various replacement s available before I committed to one.
SO I could stay with Beer Bug or as it has migrated to Brew Perfect I could go with them. I like the ability to look at how my brew is going while I am at work and in the past the ability to see my progress has been fun. I like the ability to see the temps as my basement has wild temp swings and my ferm chambers can go crazy if the power hiccups. However, looking at their site I am not seeing a whole lot of active brews going on an hardly any forum talk (make that none) so it makes me wonder if it is a dying product.
I see that their is another product called the tilt, however it is Bluetooth and does not provide any type of web (Cloud) interface that I can see but it looks nice.
Next their is a new product coming out called Plaato, and it offers the enhancements that I like.
Another product I seen was BrewPi but my ability to code and all is nil and it looks like it might be more for advanced brewers (read that as breweries).
So What does the community think.
