Q: How does the TILT Hydrometer Red connect to my smartphone or tablet?
A: The TILT Hydrometer Red connects to your smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth technology. Simply enable Bluetooth on your device, download the TILT app (or a compatible brewing software), and follow the instructions to pair the hydrometer with your device.
Q: Can I use the TILT Hydrometer Red for both beer and other fermenting beverages?
A: Yes, the TILT Hydrometer Red is suitable for monitoring the fermentation of various beverages, including beer, wine, mead, and cider. It provides accurate readings of specific gravity and temperature, making it a versatile tool for any fermenting process.
Q: Is the TILT Hydrometer Red waterproof?
A: The TILT Hydrometer Red is water-resistant, but it is not fully waterproof. It is designed to be placed directly into the fermenting vessel, but it should not be submerged in water or subjected to heavy moisture. It is important to handle the hydrometer with care to ensure its longevity and accuracy.
Q: How long does the battery last on the TILT Hydrometer Red?
A: The battery life of the TILT Hydrometer Red depends on various factors such as usage, frequency of measurements, and Bluetooth connectivity. Generally, the battery can last for several months before needing to be replaced. It's recommended to keep spare batteries on hand to ensure uninterrupted monitoring.
Q: Can I calibrate the TILT Hydrometer Red?
A: The TILT Hydrometer Red comes pre-calibrated from the manufacturer, and recalibration is generally not necessary. However, if you believe your hydrometer is displaying inaccurate readings, there are calibration options available within the TILT app or compatible brewing software to adjust and fine-tune the measurements.
Q: Can I use multiple TILT Hydrometers at the same time?
A: Yes, you can use multiple TILT Hydrometers simultaneously if you're fermenting multiple batches or want to monitor different vessels. Each hydrometer can be assigned a unique colour within the app, making it easy to differentiate and track the measurements of each batch.
