In the brewing industry, traditional approaches to purging tanks rely on estimation and guesswork, which at best leads to inconsistent results and wastes precious carbon dioxide (CO2). At worst, it can irreversibly oxygenate an entire batch of beer, significantly reducing product quality and shelf life. By leveraging intelligent sensors, data analysis, and smart actuated valves, brewers can gain real-time, actionable insights into how they purge brew tanks and even automatically stop the process once it is complete.
BrewOps co-founder Aaron Ganick shares his expertise with Craft Brewing Business magazine and explains how the BrewOps Purge is helping brewers like Lord Hobo, Trace Brewing, Remnant Brewing and MacLeod Ale Brewing save time, money, and CO2 with sophisticated but simple-to-use brewery automation.
We take great pride in our role as an extension of your team, working closely with some of the finest craft breweries around. Our collaborative approach, creative problem-solving, and unwavering commitment to continuous improvement set us apart. We strive to deliver exceptional solutions tailored to your brewery’s needs, ensuring success in a competitive market.
“At Lord Hobo we put a lot of trust in the companies we choose to work with. BrewOps has helped us cut CO2 purge times by 50%, reduced CIP water waste by thousands of gallons a week, and prevented product loss from boiler and chiller failures. Working with BrewOps has been one of the highlights of my brewing career”
“BrewOps has been invaluable! We receive alerts immediately if the boiler shutsdown and now understand if it is from high pressure or low water temperature.”
“The BrewOps platform helped us resolve boiler issues that were disrupting our canning line operations. The real-time alerts save us $12K+ in production loss each week. Our management team can sleep again, knowing that our critical equipment are monitored 24/7.”
“Working with the BrewOps team has been a pleasure. No challenge seems beyond their capability and I look forward to seeing how they advance their portfolio to meet the needs of modern brewers”
“At our breweries, we use BrewOps monitoring devices to give us the peace of mind that when (not if) our glycol system is struggling or has a complete failure, we are remotely alerted within minutes. This knowledge ensures that these occurrences remain minor inconveniences and not significant financial loss events.”

Yes! All BrewOps products are designed with ease of installation in mind. They transmit data wirelessly and are powered by replaceable industrial lithium batteries, making installation fast and easy for anyone at your brewery. No electricians required (unless you happen to also be an electrician).
BrewOps utilizes the latest Bluetooth 5.0 technology to wirelessly transmit data across your entire brewery. This enables seamless communication between BrewOps devices and either a mobile device operating in “gateway mode” or a dedicated cellular gateway.
In BrewOps, “gateway mode” refers to the capability of a mobile device to act as a central hub for receiving and aggregating data from BrewOps devices. By operating in gateway mode, the mobile device can efficiently collect and relay data to the BrewOps system for further analysis and monitoring.
A cellular gateway in BrewOps is a dedicated device that acts as a central communication hub for the BrewOps system. It uses cellular network connectivity to transmit data securely and reliably to the BrewOps platform. By using a cellular gateway, all equipment remains outside of your corporate networking, reducing the need for complex IT integration.
Yes, BrewOps is designed to operate independently from your corporate network. By utilizing Bluetooth 5.0 and cellular gateways, BrewOps keeps all equipment outside of your corporate networking infrastructure, reducing the complexity of IT integration. This allows for a seamless and secure implementation of BrewOps without interfering with your existing network architecture.
BrewOps simplifies IT integration by utilizing wireless communication and cellular gateways. This eliminates the need for complex network configurations or integration with your corporate network. By leveraging these technologies, BrewOps enables a standalone IoT solution that can be implemented quickly and easily, reducing the IT burden on your brewery.
Yes, BrewOps is not reliant on Wi-Fi coverage for its operation. By utilizing Bluetooth 5.0 and cellular gateways, BrewOps can function effectively in areas with limited or no Wi-Fi coverage. This flexibility ensures that you can monitor and manage your brewing operations even in remote or challenging environments.
No, BrewOps does not require a constant internet connection for wireless data transmission. The BrewOps system utilizes Bluetooth 5.0 and cellular gateways, allowing for local data collection and temporary storage if an internet connection is temporarily unavailable. Once connectivity is restored, the system automatically syncs the collected data to ensure seamless operation.
Wireless data transmission in BrewOps offers several benefits, including simplified installation, reduced IT integration, enhanced data security, flexibility in remote environments, and the ability to operate independently from corporate networks. These advantages streamline the implementation process, ensure data privacy, and provide flexibility for breweries of all sizes.
