Perfect Every Batch. Protect Every Drop.

Precision monitoring for fermentation, cellaring, and facility management. Data Ladle gives winemakers and brewmasters 24/7 control over quality, consistency, and your bottom line.

The Art is Yours. The Risk Shouldn't Be.

You pour your passion, expertise, and creativity into every bottle and barrel. But countless variables can threaten the quality of your craft, turning a prize-winning batch into a costly drain pour overnight.

  • Fermentation Fluctuations: A slight, unnoticed temperature swing in a fermentation tank can stress yeast, creating off-flavors that ruin an entire batch.

  • Barrel Room Worries: Maintaining the perfect temperature and humidity for aging is a constant balancing act. Is your chiller cycling properly? Are you losing too much to the "angel's share"?

  • Catastrophic Leaks: A failed tank fitting, a burst transfer hose, or a glycol line leak can mean thousands of dollars in lost product, wasted water, and hazardous cleanup.

  • Sudden Equipment Failure: A dead-of-night glycol chiller failure can bring production to a halt and endanger every batch currently in a tank.

  • The Grind of Manual Logging: Your most skilled people are spending valuable time with a temperature probe and a clipboard instead of focusing on the art of production.

The Data Ladle Solution: Your Digital Cellar Master

Data Ladle enhances your craft by eliminating guesswork and giving you complete control over the variables that matter most. Our reliable, automated system watches over your process, so you don't have to.

  1. Place Wireless Sensors: In just 15 minutes, attach our compact sensors to fermentation tanks, place them in barrel rooms, clamp them onto chillers, and position them in any critical area.

  2. Connect the Gateway: A small gateway securely transmits live data from your sensors to the cloud, giving you a complete overview of your facility.

  3. Get Instant Alerts: If a tank's temperature deviates, a leak is detected, or your chiller's power use spikes, you get an immediate alert via text, email, or phone call, giving you time to prevent disaster.

"Before Data Ladle, I was manually checking tank temps three times a day. Now, I have perfect data on my phone and get alerts if anything drifts. We saved a 50-barrel batch of IPA last month when our chiller started to fail overnight. The system paid for itself 10 times over in one night."

Key Applications for Your Winery or Brewery

✅ Precision Fermentation and Quality Control

Consistency is key. Data Ladle provides the real-time data you need to ensure every fermentation is perfect, from a pilot batch to a flagship product.

  • Get minute-by-minute temperature data from every tank, ensuring yeast performs exactly as intended1111.

  • Monitor for pressure changes in tanks and CO2 lines2.

✅ Protect Your Barrel and Cellar Environment

Create the perfect aging environment and protect your investment for the long haul.

  • Maintain precise temperature and humidity levels in barrel rooms to ensure proper maturation and control evaporation333.

  • Receive alerts for any environmental changes that could compromise your aging product.

✅ Prevent Costly Leaks and Product Loss

Know instantly if a tank, hose, or glycol line fails, saving thousands in lost product and preventing hazardous, slippery spills.

  • Place Water Detection Rope Sensors around tank farms and along plumbing runs for wide-area coverage4.

  • Use spot sensors in cellars and near pumps to detect pooling liquids immediately5.

✅ Ensure Critical Equipment Uptime

Get early warnings about your most vital machinery before it fails, protecting every batch in progress.

  • Use AC Current Meters to monitor the health of glycol chillers, pumps, and air compressors666666666. A spike in energy use is often the first sign of failure.

  • Monitor vibration on motors to detect bearing wear and other mechanical issues before they become critical7.

Essential Tools for the Modern Winery & Brewery

Design a custom monitoring system with our industrial-grade sensors.

  • Wireless Temperature Sensors: The number one tool for any beverage producer. Use our standard probes for tanks (rated from -40°C to 125°C) and ambient sensors for cellars8.

  • Wireless Thermocouple Sensors: Perfect for monitoring higher temperatures in your mash tun, lauter tun, or hot liquor tank (up to 400°C/752°F)9.

  • Wireless Humidity Sensors: A must-have for any barrel-aging program to monitor and manage evaporation and maturation10.

  • Wireless Water Detection Sensors: Your first line of defense against costly leaks from tanks, hoses, and plumbing11111111.

  • Wireless AC Current Meters: The best way to monitor the health and performance of your chillers, pumps, and other critical machinery121212121212121212.

  • Wireless Carbon Dioxide (CO2​) Sensors: A critical safety tool for monitoring air quality and detecting dangerous CO2 buildup in enclosed fermentation cellars13.
