Tilt iPhone App

See the tab in a brew session to turn on Tilt logging. This can be done anytime before or after your Tilt is setup.

Your Tilt Cloud URL can be found under integrations. You will need this to enter into the Tilt app.

We recommend using a to stream Tilt data to Brewer's Friend. Since the Tilt only operates on Bluetooth you need a WiFi + Bluetooth device like a Raspberry Pi to connect to the Tilt and also connect to the internet to send data to Brewer's Friend.

Download and Install the Tilt Pi image to your Raspberry Pi.

After you have the above image on a micro SD card, insert that into the Raspberry Pi, plugin a USB keyboard and HDMI monitor. After it boots up, follow . After this you can unplug they keyboard and monitor as you won't need it again.

Once your Raspberry Pi is setup and connected to your WiFI you can access it from your network.

Copy your Tilt cloud URL from and paste it into the Cloud Url, hit enter/return to save. Do not enter your email in the GMAIL email input. For whatever reason this causes issues sending data.

Cloud URL, copy this from your .

Once connected to your WiFi open and enter your Brewer's Friend API key from .

You can also use the Tilt iPhone app, however it will only update when you have it open and are near the Tilt. You will need the same Cloud URL from your .
