Our Journey

MyBrewbot is the lovechild of a data scientist and a home brewer.


Like many people my first brewing attempts were disappointing. When I spoke to more experienced brewers they all told me the same thing. Temperature control is crucial. ​


So, I went onto eBay, bought a second hand fridge a couple of heating tubes and an STC1000 controller.  Everything was fine at first - I got used to the quirkiness of the STC control setup - but had to keep an enlarged copy of the manual next to my fermentation fridge.


The quality of my beer improved immeasurably. At last something I could drink and enjoy.


As time went by I became frustrated. Firstly at the complexity of making changes to temperature (trying to explain to a neighbour how to adjust the temperature on an STC1000 controller from the side of a pool on holiday) and then the lack of data. I wanted to know what was going on in my fermentation fridge. I wanted to know what those millions of yeast cells were doing.


MyBrewbot started life as a simple internet enabled beer fermentation temperature monitor. I Then I added smartplugs. I didn't like the idea of using relays - although I am competent with electronics -  it just seemed to be adding complexity - and danger.

Once we started to collect data and the data set grew I realised that it could do so much more and that understanding how the beer's fermentation was progressing was a really valuable tool in making great beer!


​MyBrewbot has been in operation for three years now and has many hundreds of users all over the World. It hasn't all been plain sailing and there have been some bumps in the road along the way. Nonetheless, we have gone from strength to strength, adding functionality, improving the codebase and refining the engineering. We set ourselves the goal of providing top quality support and service together with an innovative and practical product. I believe we have succeeded . To all our existing users I say a great big thank you! To new users yet to come. Welcome.


Made by brewers for brewers, MyBrewbot will give you extra insight into your craft.
