SV1 Electric Brewing Controller

SV1 Brewing Controller

Precision PID Control for Electric Brewing

Meet the SV1 Brewing Controller — our most versatile, easy-to-use PID controller for electric homebrewing. Built on the proven Inkbird IPB-16S platform, the SV1 delivers precise temperature control to within 0.1 °C (0.2 °F), keeping your mash stable, repeatable, and stress-free.

Designed for brewers who value accuracy and simplicity, the SV1 focuses on the features that matter most: reliable PID control, clear alarms, and straightforward operation—without unnecessary complexity.

Electric Brewing Controller, Built for Precision

The SV1 simplifies mash and temperature management across a wide range of electric brewing setups. Auto-tune PID control adapts to your system, holding target temperatures with exceptional stability during ramps and rests.

Whether you’re managing a mash, monitoring a heat-up to boil, or switching a solenoid valve, the SV1 delivers consistent control with minimal setup.

Why Brewers Choose the SV1

  • Consistent results — Auto-tune PID algorithm keeps mash temperatures rock steady.
  • Fast, simple setup — Plug-and-play operation with intuitive controls.
  • Brew-ready alerts — Programmable alarms for key stages (e.g., approaching boil).
  • Durable sensor — 304 stainless probe with 1.5" tri-clamp mount for sanitary placement.
  • Flexible power — Operates on 100–240 V and supports common homebrew element sizes.
  • Proven platform — Built on the trusted Inkbird IPB-16S design, backed by Bräu Supply.

Key Features

  • Precision control — Maintain mash temperature within 0.1 °C / 0.2 °F.
  • PID with auto-tune — Adapts automatically to your system for stable control.
  • Audible alarms — Alerts for temperature thresholds and critical stages.
  • Compact enclosure — Suitable for wall or countertop mounting.
  • Sanitary sensor package — 304 SS probe, 1.5" tri-clamp, silicone-coated cable, mini stereo jack.
  • Valve switching — Can operate solenoid valves for fermentation or cooling control.
  • Power handling — Up to 1650 W @120 V or 3000 W @240 V via standard NEMA 5-15 plug.
  • High-power capable — Use with SV240 to control 5500 W heating elements.

What It Works With

  • Electric brew kettles for mash and boil temperature management.
  • RIMS and HERMS systems as the primary temperature controller.
  • Fermenter control kits and solenoid valves for temperature switching.
  • Common Inkbird IPB-16S compatible accessories.

How to Use (Quick Start)

  1. Install the 1.5" tri-clamp temperature probe into your kettle or thermowell.
  2. Plug your heating device into the controller output and connect power.
  3. Set your target temperature and enable PID (run auto-tune on first use).
  4. Configure alarms to warn of approaching boil or temperature limits.
  5. Brew as usual — the SV1 maintains temperature automatically.

What’s Included

  • SV1 Brewing Controller with PID control and alarm functionality.
  • 304 stainless temperature probe with 1.5" tri-clamp fitting.
  • Silicone-coated probe cable with mini stereo jack connection.

Compatibility & Safety Notes

  • Electrical — 100–240 V input; up to 1650 W @120 V or 3000 W @240 V.
  • High-power elements — Pair with SV240 for 5500 W element control.
  • Probe connection — Mini stereo jack; requires a 1.5" tri-clamp port for sanitary mounting.
  • Safety — Use on a GFCI-protected circuit and follow local electrical codes.

Bottom line: The SV1 delivers professional-level temperature stability in a clean, intuitive controller — ideal for dependable mash control and better beer.
