Description

Electric Brewing Controller, Built for Precision

The SV1 Brewing Controller simplifies temperature control for electric brewing. With auto‑tune PID control and straightforward operation, it holds your mash at target with exceptional stability. We focused on the features brewers actually use — accuracy, safety alerts, and reliability — so you can brew more consistently with less fuss.

Why Brewers Choose the SV1

  • Consistent results: PID algorithm with auto‑tune keeps mash temperatures rock steady.
  • Fast, simple setup: Plug‑and‑play operation with intuitive controls — no overcomplicated menus.
  • Brew‑ready alerts: Program alarms for key stages (e.g., approaching boil) to prevent boil‑overs.
  • Durable sensor: 304 stainless probe with 1.5" tri‑clamp mount for sanitary, repeatable placement.
  • Flexible power: Works on 100–240 V; manages common element sizes used in homebrewing.
  • Easily expandable: Pair with the SV240 to precisely control up to 5500 W elements.
  • Searchable + supported: Built on the trusted Inkbird IPB‑16S design, backed by Bräu Supply.

Key Features

  • Precision: Maintain mash within 0.1 °C / 0.2 °F.
  • PID control: Auto‑tune adapts to your system for stable ramps and holds.
  • Alarms: Audible alerts for temperature thresholds and critical stages.
  • Mounting options: Compact enclosure mounts on wall or countertop.
  • Sensor package: 304 SS temperature probe, 1.5" tri‑clamp, silicone‑coated cable, mini stereo jack.
  • Valve control: Can act as a switching device for solenoid valves (e.g., fermenter control kits).
  • Power handling: Up to 1650 W @120 V and 3000 W @240 V; standard NEMA 5‑15 plug.
  • High‑power option: Use with SV240 to control 5500 W elements with precision.

What It Works With

  • Electric brew kettles for mash and boil control.
  • RIMS/HERMS‑style temperature management (as the control unit).
  • Fermenter control kits and solenoid valves for fermentation temperature switching.
  • Compatible with common Inkbird IPB‑16S accessories.

How to Use (Quick Start)

  1. Install the 1.5" tri‑clamp probe in your kettle or thermowell.
  2. Plug the heating device into the controller’s output and connect power.
  3. Set your target temperature and enable PID (run auto‑tune on first use for best stability).
  4. Use alarm thresholds to warn of approaching boil.
  5. Brew as usual — SV1 will maintain temperature automatically.

What’s in the Box

  • SV1 Brewing Controller (PID control, alarm capable).
  • 304 stainless temperature probe with 1.5" tri‑clamp and silicone‑coated cable.

Compatibility Notes

  • Electrical: 100–240 V input; up to 1650 W @120 V / 3000 W @240 V.
  • For higher‑power (e.g., 5500 W) elements, pair with the SV240 controller.
  • Probe connection: mini stereo jack; requires a 1.5" tri‑clamp port for sanitary installation.
  • For safety, use on a GFCI‑protected circuit and follow local electrical codes.

Bottom line: SV1 delivers pro‑level temperature stability with a clean, simple interface — ideal for dependable mash control and better beer.
