Description
Fercubator (Ferminator) Connect fermentation chamber
The Fercubator Connect is a temperature-controlled fermentation chamber from Brewolution in Denmark. It builds on the Fercubator Basic (formerly Ferminator Basic), but can also be controlled and monitored wirelessly over WiFi and Bluetooth. The chamber keeps fermentation at a precise, stable temperature, which is essential for a good result. A correct and even fermentation temperature prevents off-flavours and keeps the yeast from going dormant.
At room temperature (20 °C), the Fercubator can lower the temperature towards 0 °C and raise it to 50 °C*. This lets you ferment lagers and pilsners at the right low temperature, ales at higher temperatures, and chill for cold crashing.
Wireless control
The Fercubator Connect is controlled wirelessly via BrewCreator, where you can follow fermentation in a detailed graph at any time and adjust the temperature. If you are away when the beer needs a diacetyl rest, you can raise the temperature a few degrees even when you are far from home.
The Fercubator Connect can also communicate directly with the Graviator, a wireless hydrometer that measures specific gravity (accuracy ± 0.002 SG) and temperature inside the fermenter. The Graviator charges wirelessly with the included magnetic charger, so it never needs to be opened. This removes the risk of leaks and infections.
You can also operate the Fercubator Connect manually with a few buttons. Set and actual temperature are always shown on the display.
Cooling and heating unit
- Can lower the temperature by up to 20 °C relative to ambient*
- Can raise the temperature by up to 30 °C relative to ambient*
- Built-in fan circulates the air for an even temperature throughout the chamber. The fan runs constantly, at four speeds as needed. Noise level: 43–51 dB
- The control unit is easy to program and shows actual and set temperature
- Temperature sensor with 2 metre cable, which can be mounted on the outside of the fermenter or in a thermowell to measure the temperature of the beer itself
- Max consumption: 75 W, standby: 1 W
Extension modules
An extension module is 22 cm high. The Fercubator can be extended with several modules and an extra cooling and heating unit at the back. Modules and chamber can be separated so that they take up little space when not in use.

Material
The Fercubator Connect is made from EPS foam. There may be minor cosmetic flaws and scratches in the foam, but these do not affect its insulating performance.
*Tested with the Fercubator. With extension modules, an extra cooling and heating unit should be used.
Frequently asked questions about the Fercubator Connect
Are the Fercubator and the Ferminator the same?
Yes. Fercubator is the new name for the Ferminator from Brewolution. The Fercubator Connect is the version with WiFi and Bluetooth.
What is the difference between the Fercubator Connect and the Basic?
The Connect builds on the Basic, but can be controlled and monitored wirelessly over WiFi and Bluetooth with BrewCreator. It can also communicate with the Graviator wireless hydrometer.
How cold can the Fercubator keep?
At 20 °C room temperature, the chamber can bring the temperature down towards 0 °C. That is enough for lager fermentation and cold crashing, which is usually done at 0–4 °C.
Which fermenters fit in the Fercubator?
Without a module, a 33L fermenting bucket and a 30L FermZilla Flat Bottom fit, among others. With one, two or three extension modules, you can fit taller vessels such as the Apollo Snub Nose, FermZilla and several Cornelius kegs. See the overview above.
