INSTALLING duo tight BLOWTIE or INLINE REGULATOR (optional)
If you intend to pressure ferment in the RAPT Fermentation Chamber you may
find it useful to install a KL15042 duo tight BlowTie Spending Valve and/or a
KL15035 duo tight Inline Regulator. The uptight BlowTie Spending Valve will
allow excess pressure built up during fermentation to be released from the
fermenter allowing an optimal fermentation pressure to be set based on your
beer style and recipe. Installation of an uptight inline regulator allows for
easy pressurization for closed transfers for example.
There is a mounting point on either side of the RAPT Fermentation Chamber for mounting an uptight BlowTie Spending Valve or Inline Regulator.
- Step 1. Remove the cover panel behind the RAPT Fermentation Chamber on the top of the fridge
- Step 2. Unscrew the two Phillips head screws which hold the side service panel in position.
- Step 3. Slide the side service panel away from the RAPT Fermentation Chamber
- Step 4. Remove the blanking plate and slide in the PCO1880 threaded plate into the desired location depending on if you wanted the ball lock disconnect mounting point on the side or the top of the fridge.
- Step 6. Screw a duo-tight compatible carbonation cap onto the PCO1881 thread.
An easy way to connect the EVABarrier hosing onto the carbonation cap is to use a duo tight fitting. Below is just one example of how the EVABarrier gas hosing can be connected.
Top mounting
- Push a 6mm x 8mm reducer onto the duotight compatible barb of the carbonation cap
- Push an 8mm male x 8mm female elbow into the reducer
- Cleanly cut an 82mm length of EVABarrier hose and insert this firmly into the BlowTie Spunding Valve or Inline Regulator and duotight elbow. Ensure that the arrow on the side of the Spending Valve or Inline regulator is pointing towards the RAPT Fermentation Chamber.
Side mounting
- Push a 6mm x 8mm reducer onto the duotight compatible barb of the carbonation cap
- Cleanly cut an 84mm length of EVABarrier hose and insert this firmly into the BlowTie Spunding Valve or Inline Regulator and duotight reducer. Ensure that the arrow on the side of the Spunding Valve or Inline regulator is pointing towards the RAPT Fermentation Chamber.
- Step 7. Measure and cleanly cut the desired length of EVABarrier tubing required to reach from your fermenter in the fridge to the duotight BlowTie Spunding Valve or Inline Regulator. Then route this hosing into the injection molded channel and through the opening in the top of the fridge.
- Step 8. Unscrew the two screws which hold the RAPT blanking plate onto the mounting points
- Step 9. Secure the duotight BlowTie Spunding Valve or Inline Regulator into position using the two mounting points.
- Step 10. Terminate the line inside the RAPT fermentation chamber with gas disconnects. KL20756 duotight Disconnects are recommended for this.
Note:
You may need to remove the gauge from the BlowTie Spending or Inline regulator
which is positioned to the right of the RAPT Fermentation Chamber and rotate
this such that it is upright. This can be done easily by removing the two
bolts which hold the gauge housing in place and pulling up on the gauge to
remove it.
For detailed instructions showing how to install a duotight BlowTie Spunding
Valve or Inline Regulator, then please refer to the following instructional
YouTube video:
RAPT Fermentation Chamber – duotight BlowTie Spending Valve/Inline regulator
installation video.
Note:
To ensure correct orientation install the Inline Regulator (KL15035) on the
left-hand side. Install the Bowtie spunding valve (KL15042) on the right-hand
side of the RAPT Fermentation Chamber.
REMOVING PANEL TO ACCESS THE DRIP TRAY
The front panel at the base of the RAPT Fermentation Chamber is dismountable. In normal use it is held in place by magnets, to allow easy and convenient access to the drip tray which is mounted underneath the fermentation chamber. It is recommended to regularly check the drip tray and empty as required.
To enable this, remove the four screws holding the front panel in place .
LEAK TEST PROCEDURE
Prior to beginning fermentation or hooking up any kegs to your gas line into
the fermentation chamber, it is essential to conduct a leak test. It is best
to conduct a pressure decay test on the fermenter itself and on the incoming
gas line into the duotight inline regulator from the CO2 cylinder and
regulator to ensure your entire system has no leaks.
This can be done easily
- Step 1: Attach the CO2 cylinder and regulator to the gas post of the RAPT chamber.
- Step 2: Attach the disconnect from the inline regulator (inside the RAPT chamber) to your empty fermenter.
- Step 3: Adjust the pressure on the regulator to 20psi.
- Step 4: Turn the CO2 cylinder valve handles off.
- Step 5: Wait two hours and ensure the pressure reading on the pressure gauge on the regulator has not changed.
EXTENSION PROBE INSTALLATION & CALIBRATION
The RAPT fermentation Chamber comes as standard with a short temperature probe
that measures the air temperature within the RAPT Fermentation Chamber. If you
were looking for higher accuracy temperature measurement by inserting a
temperature probe into the thermowell of your fermenter you will need to
install and calibrate a longer extension temperature probe (sold separately,
KL22460)
Once the probe is installed then it will need to be calibrated.
- Enter the menu by pressing Select (⏎)
- Use the Up or Down arrows to navigate to Settings and press Select (⏎)
- Use the Up or Down arrows to navigate to 2-point calibration and press Select (⏎)
Once in the 2-point calibration mode set up two glasses of water. Ice water to one glass and add hot water to the second glass.
Calibration Point 1
Insert the temperature probe of the RAPT Fermentation Chamber into the glass
of ice water while simultaneously measuring the temperature of the ice water
using a calibrated external thermometer such as a digital instant-read
thermometer (KL23320). Wait for the temperature reading on both the RAPT
Fermentation Chamber and the external calibrated thermometer to stabilize as
much as possible.
Then adjust the temperature shown on the RAPT Fermentation Chamber to match the temperature measured on the external calibrated thermometer. Press Select (⏎) to lock in this calibration point 1 and move on to calibration point 2.
Calibration Point 2
Insert the temperature probe of the RAPT Fermentation Chamber into the glass
of hot water while simultaneously measuring the temperature of the hot water
using a calibrated external thermometer. Wait for the temperature reading on
both the RAPT Fermentation Chamber and the external calibrated thermometer to
stabilize as much as possible. Then adjust the temperature shown on the RAPT
Fermentation Chamber to match the temperature measured on the external
calibrated thermometer.
- Press Select (⏎) to lock in this calibration point 2.
- Once both calibration points have been set the NTC temperature probe has been calibrated.
- For a video guide on how to install and calibrate this longer extension temperature probe please refer to the following instructional YouTube video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7l0RtVw6-QM.
DEFAULT TEMPERATURE PROBE CALIBRATION
In the event that you revert back to the standard probe that is preinstalled
in the RAPT Fermentation Chamber, you can manually reset the temperature probe
to the default settings.
- NTC beta: 3950 K
- NTC ref. temperature: 298.2 K
- NTC ref. resistance: 100000
Manual calibration of the internal temperature probe can be performed using the same method as outlined for the extension probe.
SWAPPING THE DOOR OPENING DIRECTION
Included with every RAPT chamber are spare hinges that allow for the
orientation of the door to be changed from the right side opening to the left
side opening. To change the hinge side of the RAPT fermentation chamber, you
will need to remove the right-hand hinges and install the replacement left-
hand hinges. The bottom hinges are accessed by removing the dismountable drip
tray cover (above). To access the top hinges, remove the top panel of the RAPT
chamber. Follow the above instructions for installing the inline regulator to
remove the two front panels. Then remove the 6 screws holding the plastic top
cover in place. Once the top hinge can be accessed, it is removed by
unscrewing from the RAPT chamber.
To swap the door hinge side, remove the top right hinge. Then carefully lift
the door off the bottom hinge pin and place in a safe place. Unscrew the
bottom right hinge.
Perform this in reverse to install the left hinges. Install the left bottom
hinge. Carefully align the door onto the left bottom door hinge pin. Then
install the left top hinge and replace the top cover. It is recommended that
this is performed by two people to minimize the risk of damage during the
process.
PROFILES
Profiles are a key component of the RAPT system. Profiles are powerful tools
that can be customized to a great degree, allowing extremely fine control over
all aspects of brewing/fermentation. Profiles can be designed in the RAPT
Portal. There are also Global Profiles that can be imported and customized.
Once a profile is created in the RAPT Portal, it can be sent to the
corresponding RAPT device using the Send Profile To Device option in the RAPT
Portal. The RAPT ecosystem is intended to be largely controlled remotely, and
thus there are more powerful controls in the RAPT Portal.
To start or amend a profile that has been uploaded to the RAPT device select PROFILES from the main menu. This will display the currently selected profile. If no profile is running, any profile that has previously been sent to the RAPT device can be selected and started from this screen.
When a profile is active it can be paused, canceled, or manually moved forward or backward using the on-screen display. The Select icon allows you to select another (previously uploaded profile). Rewind and Forward allow you to move forward or backward along the profile. Play/Pause allows you to pause or resume the active profile. A stop will stop the current profile. Manual alterations to the current profile will also be reflected in the RAPT portal after a short interval.
To access the menu, press the Enter key then scroll down to the desired menu. Press Enter to access the menu.

Bluetooth
Bluetooth needs to first be enabled in the Settings menu (above). In this
menu, you will see a list of compatible Bluetooth-enabled RAPT devices. To
Bond Bluetooth-enabled RAPT devices, use the arrow buttons to scroll to select
the device. Choose Select (⏎) to Bond the device, or Return to cancel.
Once Bonded, the device will be visible in the Bonded section of the Bluetooth Menu. To Unbound, select the device with the navigation arrows and choose Select (⏎) to Unbound, or Return to cancel. Once the device is Bonded, it can be selected in the Settings menu option as one of the available Temperature Sensors. Once selected in this menu, temperature control will be ceded to the selected Bluetooth-enabled RAPT device, rather than the internal temperature probe. In addition, when the Graph Disabled Display Mode is selected, the current gravity will be displayed. The temperature of the internal probe will also be displayed.
NOTE:
It is completely normal for there to be a temperature variance between the
internal probe and the Bluetooth-enabled RAPT device. This is because the
Bluetooth device is measuring the temperature of the fermentation (typically),
and the internal probe is measuring the air temperature of the RAPT
Fermentation Chamber. This difference will be greater when the RAPT
Fermentation Chamber is actively heating or cooling.
The Allowed Sensor Differential sets the allowed temperature differential between the desired setpoint and the current temperature of the Fermentation Chamber. Cooling and Heating is disabled temporarily if this differential is exceeded. The default differential setting is 5°C. This value is suitable for typical use. This differential can be altered in the Settings Menu. If the temperature differential is exceeded, the RAPT Fermentation Chamber will suspend heating and cooling until the differential is reduced. The legend DIFF OVERRIDE will also be displayed when the display is in Graph Disabled Mode.
The RAPT Fermentation Chamber will suspend active cooling or heating and resume as needed – no intervention is required. Once the differential is reduced then heating and cooling will continue as normal.
