Boost beer production with real-time fermentation monitoring
How MashCraft Brewing increased capacity and reduced labor costs with Endress+Hauser’s Fermentation Monitor QWX43
Like many breweries, MashCraft Brewing faced challenges with gathering real-time insights into its process, at times culminating in prolonged production periods, which in turn affected brewery efficiency. Along the way, the company fostered a strong relationship with Endress+Hauser. The collaboration refined its brewing process, optimized production efficiency and ensured consistent quality, each a pillar of the company’s structure.
How real-time data capture improves fermentation processes
-
20% capacity increase
-
Up to $10,000 in yearly labor savings
-
Remote monitoring
-
Eliminates up to three manual samples and lab readings per day
“This access to data is invaluable for us at MashCraft, especially since we don’t have trained labor available 24/7 to take sugar counts hourly, daily and even on busier weekends."

Best tools for automated fermentation monitoring
Endress+Hauser’s Fermentation Monitor QWX43 delivers real-time, in-tank measurements of gravity, alcohol percentage and non-fermentable sugars. It eliminates up to three manual samples and lab readings per day, helping breweries like MashCraft automate fermentation tracking and improve consistency.
Fermentation equipment with real-time data to increase yield
MashCraft Brewing increased its production capacity by 20% after implementing Fermentation Monitor QWX43. By reducing average tank time and enabling timely interventions, the brewery now produces more batches annually — translating to higher returns and better responsiveness to market demand.
Considerations when choosing fermentation monitoring systems
Look for systems that offer:
Real-time, in-tank measurements (density, temperature, acoustic velocity)
Remote monitoring via cloud platforms like Netilion
Automated data logging and batch comparison tools
Hygienic design for easy cleaning and integration
