Frequently asked questions about VCP0101
What is an aphrometer used for?
The aphrometer measures the pressure inside a closed beer bottle during post-fermentation. By monitoring the pressure rise, the carbon dioxide content can be estimated and determined when post-fermentation is complete, ensuring consistent quality and safe CO₂ levels in the finished beer.
What bottles does it fit?
This model fits standard 26mm crown cap beer bottles, the most common format in both craft and industrial brewing. The aphrometer attaches directly to the bottle mouth using a sealing ring nut, ensuring a hermetic connection without damaging the bottle.
How to install the device correctly?
Place the aphrometer on the bottle mouth and turn the sealing ring nut clockwise until the connection is completely tight and airtight. Turn counterclockwise to remove. Always make sure the seal is clean and intact to ensure accurate readings.
What is the accuracy and pressure range?
The nominal diameter of the device is 40 mm and the accuracy class is 2.5 bar. Recommended static operating pressure is 3/4 full scale, pulsating pressure 2/3, short term peaks may reach full scale. The operating temperature range is -40°C to +60°C.
Is it suitable for home brewing?
Yes. The afrometer is equally suitable for both craft and home brewing, where precise control of post-fermentation in the bottle is required. The aluminum construction, tubular spring mechanism and simple screw-on mount make it a practical and reusable tool for any brewer.
