1.10 Ferment with the Ferminator
Make sure the Ferminator has access to your WiFi network.
Place your fermenter with your brew inside the Ferminator and place the temperature probe on the back of the fermenter
or in a thermowell. An even better and more precise solution would be to use a Graviator for measuring temperature and
density. Assemble the Ferminator and connect the power cord.
On the display of the Ferminator you can see when the WiFi icon have connected to the server (see section 1.8) and on
the BrewCreator "Dashboard" you can also see when your Ferminator Connect is "ready". Choose your Ferminator and
press the "Batch Info" tab and enter the information about your batch of beer. Click on the "Brew Stopped" button so it
switches to "Brew Started". Now press save and the batch will be saved, and the "Brew date" will automatically be set.
Chose the tab "Devices", where the desired temperature and fan speed are entered. Click on "Regulate temperature" so
this is set to on. Press "Save" to save these entries. On the Ferminator display these values will now be shown, and your
brew and temperature regulation have started. The "Brew Stats" and "Graphs" tab gives you an overview of the brew and
it is possible to follow the temperature regulation closely.
1.11 Temperature Calibration
If you at some point in time need to calibrate the temperature probes of the Ferminator, this is how to do it:
• Press and hold the + button when the start screen is shown.
• Start by adjusting the New Cal by pressing + or – button.
• Adjust the Cal.beer with New Cal by pressing the Start/Stop
button.
Adjust the Cal.box with New Cal by pressing the Menu button.
• Cal.beer and Temp.beer or/and Cal.box and Temp.box will
show your adjustments.
• Save your adjustments by disconnecting the power to the
Ferminator.

Make sure the Ferminator is turned on and have access to your Wifi network.
We recommend the Ferminator is close to the WiFi router during the software update.
Log on to BrewCreator.com and click "Devices" and find your Ferminator.
Go to the tab "Device" and click on the blue button "Software update". Follow the instructions on the screen.
Update will take a little while and can be monitored on both screen and display. After successful updating the Ferminator
you can see the Update Button no longer is blue and that the cloud in front of the Ferminator name has disappeared. The
Ferminator will automatically restart after the software update and connect to the WiFi network again.
