Tilt
Tilt Wireless Hydrometer
Is a free-floating digital hydrometer and thermometer for continuous fermentation real-time monitoring that operates on Bluetooth. https://tilthydrometer.com
Red Tilt
See the Fermentation 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. https://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/profile/integrations
We recommend using a Raspberry Pi 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. https://tilthydrometer.com/products/tilt-pi-raspberry-pi-disk-image-download
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 these instructions to setup WiFi. After this you can unplug they keyboard and monitor as you won't need it again.
sudo raspi-config
Once your Raspberry Pi is setup and connected to your WiFI you can access it from your network. http://tiltpi.local:1880/ui
Copy your Tilt cloud URL from Account Settings 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 Settings
- Use Default Cloud URL for All: Off
- Start Logging to the Cloud: On
- Time Interval: 15 Minutes.
- set the time interval to 15 minutes. Anything less won't be logged.
Once connected to your WiFi open http://tiltbridge.local/settings and enter your Brewer's Friend API key from Account Settings.
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 Account Settings.
