Tilt 2

About this app

The Tilt 2 app is the official app for TILT hydrometers. Use the app to log specific gravity and temperature data to the cloud such as Google Sheets or other custom cloud endpoint. We support brewfather.app, brewstat.us, monitor.log and Grainfather.com among others. (Visit their respective websites to get more information on setting up the app). You can also log directly to your phone or tablet and email a CSV to yourself or others. Note that when logging you will need to be within range of your Tilt or have a phone or tablet setup next to your fermentation vessel for automatic continuous logging. (Highly recommended!). You can also calibrate your Tilt and change units from degrees Fahrenheit to Celsius and from specific gravity (60°F/15.6°C) to degrees Plato.

Ratings and reviews

I like the gadget, but the app is awful. It only records when you're connected, which might be understandable because fermentation can take a very long time, but why doesn't the app have the ability to display a fermentation's history data without having to use Google Sheets? I don't need to see fancy charts, I just want to see how the specific gravity is progressing without being required to juggle two apps. Also, it reverts from Fahrenheit to Celsius whenever it's opened.

I love this product, but I'm disappointed with the app. It does a nice job of displaying the current SG and temp. As to the data logging, you're better off doing your own recording. The end-user shouldn't have to buy a Raspberry Pi or look up detailed instructions in order to see a chart. The option to email a csv file disappeared halfway through fermentation. I'm happy for all of you that figured out the cloud stuff, but I don't have time for it. Should be easy for $140 per.

Edit: Added 1 star Two things: First, my phone connects to the Tilt half the time due to ill interactions with other apps connecting to other Bluetooth devices (namely car insurance beacon). Second, not everybody has a device within Tilt range at all times thus, this makes gravity/temp tracking/recording VERY cumbersome. I don't know what my gravity readings were between the time I left for work and came back. So I feel I'm only using half of what the device is capable.

What’s new

Improved experience when using with Tilt Pico WiFi adapter. Various bug fixes and now ability to delete previous CSV logs.
