Smart Brew Professional and Starter Water Testing Kits
The SenSafe Smart Brew Water Testing Kits offer a smart, accurate, and user-friendly way to monitor and control brewing water chemistry. Designed for homebrewers and professionals alike, these kits help improve flavor, balance, and consistency with lab-grade precision.
The Starter Kit includes the eXact iDip® 525 Photometer, carrying case, cleaning brush, manual, and 25 tests each for key brewing parameters like total hardness, calcium hardness, alkalinity, pH, chloride, and sulfate.
The Professional Kit builds on the Starter Kit by adding the advanced eXact® pH+ Smart Meter, which measures pH, Conductivity, TDS, Salinity, Temperature, and optional ORP, ideal for deeper brewing analysis and precision control.
Both kits come packed in a rugged case with foam insert and provide everything needed to optimize your water profile and brew better-tasting beer consistently.
SenSafe Home Brew Water Starter Test Kit
eXact iDip® Photometer: The heart of the kit is the eXact iDip® photometer, a digital device that eliminates the need for separate test tubes. It utilizes advanced optics to provide accurate measurements of key water quality parameters essential for brewing.
Essential Brewing Test Strips: The kit includes a set of test strips specifically designed for analyzing brewing water. These typically include:
Total Alkalinity: Impacts how your brewing water reacts to pH changes, influencing mash efficiency and beer flavor.
pH: Measures the acidity or alkalinity of your water, crucial for enzyme activity during mashing and impacting beer flavor and style.
Calcium Hardness: Contributes to mash efficiency, beer body, and mouthfeel.
Chloride: Aids in hop bitterness perception and overall beer taste profile.
Sulfate: Enhances malt character and aids in yeast health.
Part Number: 486101-SB-K
SenSafe Home Brew Professional Water Test Kit
Enhanced Testing Capabilities: The Professional Kit expands on the Starter Kit by potentially including additional test strips for a wider range of water parameters crucial for specific brewing styles. Examples might include:
Magnesium: Impacts yeast health and fermentation.
Sodium: Plays a role in beer flavor perception and mouthfeel.
Iron: Can affect beer color and stability.
Phosphate: This may influence yeast activity and can contribute to haze.
Advanced Features:Some Professional Kits might offer additional functionalities to support in-depth water analysis and brewing calculations:
Multi-Meter Functionality: The included meter might go beyond basic pH testing, potentially offering readings for conductivity or ORP (Oxidation Reduction Potential) for a more holistic water profile assessment.
Expanded App Functionality: The eXact iDip® app includes additional features in the professional version.
Part Number: 486101-SB3-K
Smart Brew Water Testing Kits: Companion App
This meter uses the eXact iDip® app by Industrial Test Systems, Inc.
The eXact iDip® app is the first product in the water testing market that provides seamless data transmission, via Bluetooth® wireless technology, from a photometer to Apple® and Android® smart devices. Through live syncing, test results are transmitted in real time.
The eXact iDip® app saves the test history of multiple water sources, including pools, spas, aquariums and more. Data can be shared via email and the built-in GPS feature allows for easy retrieval of water locations. Pool technicians and water quality professionals will appreciate the ability to store customer data, eliminating repetitive data entry tasks while saving time and money.
