Thank You, friend!! You made us smile ♥️

[@jeffroach3722]

Nice review...I've been considering trying these floating digital hydrometers out. Looking forward to more of your videos. Subbed ☮

[@beerbrewnettes]

Thank You so much!! 🙏🏼 ❤

[@whiskycanada5817]

Glad to see you doing KZbin Rachelle. You girls did awesome.

[@beerbrewnettes]

Thank You!!! You sweetheart 😘😘

How refreshing to see ladies brewing, Kegland is half an hour away from me. G'day from Melbourne!

[@beerbrewnettes]

We live in Sydney (Nova Scotia, Canada ) - lol. The less exciting Sydney but still a cool connection! Maria here- I spent two weeks in Melbourne and loved it! Cheers, Mate! 🍻

[@edgeGabe]

I'm getting one. After a break of 9 or more years from brewing I found it new and more complicated. First batch turned out bad but wouldn't stop bubbling like the old days after 5 to 7 days. Going pressure and a RAPT pill hope that works. Economy made me start again and I find the changes interesting and looking forward to trying everything.

[@gnomerat]

Nice with two women for a change. Beer brewing is for everyone. Will follow your channel. Good luck!

[@beerbrewnettes]

You are the absolute best!!! Thank You - we love new friends!!! ♥️♥️

[@2plus2equals4]

Looking forward to more videos. Step aside James and Steve.

[@beerbrewnettes]

We are giddy with flattery at this compliment! Thanks, friend! You are too kind! 😘😘

[@markbarber7839]

Thanks for the video. The Brew HQ shirt and accent gave you gals away ! Greeting and good luck from Ontario

[@beerbrewnettes]

The accent gets us every time!

[@BrewabitRick]

I’ve used a tilt hydrometer for a while now and love it . You can keep a keen eye on it and don’t waste beer taking gravity readings ( the biggest bonus) just subbed really looking forward to future videos, cheers from over the pond 👍🍻

[@beerbrewnettes]

Aren’t digital hydrometers the best?!? LOVE that you’re enjoying yours !!! Cheers, our friend! ♥️

[@LSHDChaos]

Great First Video! Good information on a new product that will help out a lot of folks.

[@davec4955]

Just got my pill plus the wireless charging kit. 🍻

[@matte.hartman]

Good luck with the channel 😊 Been using the rapt pill for a couple of brews now and i really like the price and concept of getting real time data 👍 I think the recommendation is that you calibrate it after each time you opened it and i agree with that after a simple test. Also, at the end of the fermentation you can try to move it around in the bucket a bit, since bubbles that collect on the surface causes the reading to be a couple of units off, on the high side.

[@beerbrewnettes]

These are AWESOME tips! THANK YOU!!!!!! 🙏🏼 We will definitely take your advice on our future ferments! 🍻 😘

[@brewingdad]

Thanks for this! I just ordered one from BrewHq.

[@beerbrewnettes]

Awesome! We hope you’re loving it!

[@moedogger21]

I picked one up off ebay. Hopefully we'll see them in the US soon.

[@tooidiotsbrewingcompany8137]

Great First Video!. Looking forward to future content.

[@beerbrewnettes]

Thank you!!! Lots more to come!

[@colmgeraghty2628]

Nice work. I have owned three tilts and two of them became glitchy over time. Will be interested to see how the Rapt lasts over time. Looking forward to more content. Keep on brewing!

[@beerbrewnettes]

Thanks Colm! Yes it should be interesting to see how it holds up! Happy Brewing!

[@austinstanley2176]

Very informative, looking forward to following along !

[@beerbrewnettes]

Awwww!! Yah just made our day!!! Thank You!! 😘😘

[@markbarber7839]

2:55 do you have the device the correct way around?

[@beerbrewnettes]

A little confused, friend! What exactly are you meaning?

[@billfarr1195]

Congratulations on your first video. Great job. Been using a tilt for a couple of years and really like it. I use it to monitor temp and gravity locally, not so much logging the progress online, and I find it to be accurate enough for what I need. I was thinking about ordering a RAPT Pill just to have a second option and the WIFI and now I think I will pull the trigger. I order a lot from BrewHQ and I didn't have any trouble understanding you since I'm also from beautiful CB. Do you get any benefit if I use the link you provided to order?

[@beerbrewnettes]

Thank you!!! So you speak CB lol. I’m sure you will appreciate our videos and we hope you keep watching and commenting! You won’t regret pulling the trigger on this one she’s pretty cool! You can use the code BEERBREWNETTES10 thank you so much for asking!

[@marcone7948]

Great Video! Don't forget when charging for the first time to take the little green tabs at the battery poles out so it actually charges. Ask me how I know....🙄🙄

[@beerbrewnettes]

😂😂😂 oh darlin’- we have all made similar mistakes in brewing, don’t beat yourself up!! Eventually, we laugh about these things 😂😉😉 You’re right! Awesome reminder to share with people! Thanks for commenting this! ♥️

[@StoneyardVineyards]

Cheers to awesome beer that’s why we love to home brew our own on our channel . We just subscribed after your video found us . We grow hops, make mead , wine and others . Stay thirsty and brew good beer .

[@beerbrewnettes]

Just subscribed to yours! Cheers!!!

[@chopperaxon6171]

Informative video. I have ordered one of those devices on the strength of your vid. I like your style, light and breezy. Watch out for the criticism from the beard and cardigan brigade.

[@beerbrewnettes]

That is just the nicest thing we have read in a long time! Thank You so much for your kindness, friend! We hope your Pill is awesome!

[@StacyPodetz]

You go girls!

[@BitterRealityBrewing]

Congratulations and love to see women brewing as my wife is very supportive but can't stand beer or even the smell of beer or hops. Excellent job! Keep up the great work. ...And welcome to the insanity known as KZbin. 😂🍻😂🍻 Cheers!

[@beerbrewnettes]

Thank you! Your wife sounds too cute, supportive yet doesn’t like beer lol. But the smell of hops… mmm…

[@PartyTimeBrewing]

Great vid! Were you able to get good wifi signal from inside the stainless fermenter? I have an iSpindel and love it but haven't tried in stainless yet. Cheers!

[@beerbrewnettes]

Yes we had no issues at all!

[@michaeleade4149]

Great review Ladies the pill is great value for the price tag , i have 3 pills and will get a 4th pill soon. the good thing is it has both bluetooth and wifi and not only that it can be used with any of the rapt products that kegland Australia uses such as the rapt fermentation chamber or the Rapt Temp controller. the other good thing in coming updates is the bluetooth feature which will save you battery life is you can hook to say the rapt temp controller to send the telementry as the rapt temp controller can act as a repeater for the pill. i also have the tilt2 while this was great to use i have made that redundant in my brewery as i find the pill is far better value top review for the pill ladies

[@beerbrewnettes]

Thanks for commenting! We are looking forward to many brews with the pill! Makes brewing more interesting and yes it’s bang for your buck! Cheers!!!!

[@eprohoda]

omg, veery epic shots~ farewell~💫

[@beerbrewnettes]

Thank You!! ♥♥

[@lindsaywilks3935]

Wish I'd seen this before before I put my new pill on charge. Would have saved me a lot of anxiety. Is it really taking so long to charge or have I got a dud battery? Got there in the end but 24hrs is about right. Reassuring to know it's not just mine.Thank you ladies!

[@beerbrewnettes]

So sorry, just seeing this- it just REALLY takes that long (not as long as it took to get a response back from us).

[@imperia1999]

Cracking first video well done nice to meet you both, at the moment I use a refractometer and it does what I want it to do. I’ve thought about getting an pill/ Tilt and other that are on the market, but as of yet I’ve not put my hand in my pocket to buy one. Cheers

[@beerbrewnettes]

Cheers!

[@rmg222]

Nice video! good job!

[@beerbrewnettes]

Thank you! Cheers!!!!!

[@stevehaynes5466]

Love it!

[@KieranShort]

Whoa.. $100 CAD. We pay about $63 CAD in Australia (well, I pick mine up fromt he kegland factory, so that helps when not having to pay shipping)

[@beerbrewnettes]

Awww shuckssss! Those darn import duties! Sounds like we need us a friend who lives in AUS near a postal office 😜

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

Great job ladies!! You got a like and subscribe from me. I look forward to seeing your future content. I would love to see more women making similar content on KZbin.

[@beerbrewnettes]

Thanks so much! We really appreciate this! More content to follow soon!

[@dack4545]

Wow ok

[@jmsnystrom]

Ordered one 👍 Please talk slower for me to understand 😅

[@beerbrewnettes]

hahaha we are sorry, friend! We are definitely fast-talkers and this twangie accent likely doesn't help, either! 😂😜

[@robertschumann3840]

Well done. Can you send me one to New Zealand. I’ll pay. Thank you. Was she really drinking water 😂

[@beerbrewnettes]

Well Thank You, good Sir, for this kind feedback! ♥️♥️ We’re all teeth reading it 😘😘 Kegland is an Aussie company so you’ve lucked-out and they’re in your neck of the woods! They’re coming soon to NZ via brewshop.co.nz ! You can preorder here, we believe: www.brewshop.co.nz/rapt-pill-hydrometer-thermometer.html P.S. It was light beer, we promise! The only rule we have is: no drinking water during beer filming or beer making 😂😂😂

[@gunder3]

Don't just rely on the rapt pill though, a hydrometer is priceless.

[@beerbrewnettes]

So true!!! There’s a very important place in homebrewing for both!

[@twodogswalking840]

Look forward to more videos from you ladies. I'm so not woke but I do like to see women in brewing.

[@beerbrewnettes]

We have been so welcomed within the brewing community! We are so happy to be included- homebrewers ROCK!! Thanks so much 🤗
