Christopher Villeda Posted January 4, 2021 Report Share Posted January 4, 2021 Hello! So beer finally finished fermenting and went to “ready to keg” mode. I was just informed that the program was cancelled accidentally by my child. I won’t be kegging for a few days. Is there anyway to manually place the droid into storage mode? Are there any alternatives if not. Thank you!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No damage done, I’d start the brewing program as if just starting the process, it will go into propagation mode and you should be able to press the storage button. If that doesn’t work leave in propagation mode as it will keep the brew at kegging temperature, this won’t hurt leaving for a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xpsTech Posted January 5, 2021 Report Share Posted January 5, 2021 Hi @Christopher Villeda @Captain 3 Droids is on the right track but you can't set it to storage mode until it detects end of fermentation, as this has already happened for this brew it won't detect it again. If you are kegging in a few days and your room temperatures are not too high (i.e. less than 30C) then it is safe to turn the Droid off until you keg, as the fermentation is done, temperature variation should not impact your beer and the Droid is fairly well insulated. If you want to play it safe, start a custom program and set the Propagate and Ferment temperatures to 5C, when ready to Keg and after the 12 hour Propagate time is over, use the App to change Ferment temperature to 18C, wait about 12 hours and you should be good to Keg. Terminate the program by pressing the X then tick on the front panel (or get your kid to do it 🙂) Cheers. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J P Posted February 3, 2021 Report Share Posted February 3, 2021 How long can you leave it in storage mode generally? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storage is set at 4C (unless you changed it) and at that temp you can store for a very long time. I heard someone stored for 2 months.

Captain 3 Droids Posted May 23, 2021 Report Share Posted May 23, 2021 @BrewArt Team Could you please check on the following, droid changed from ready to keg to storage mode after only about 18hrs? I understood it to be 48hrs. Had I accidentally tapped the storage button? (I changed it back to keg mode) Appreciate your thoughts/info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewArt Team Posted May 25, 2021 Report Share Posted May 25, 2021 Hey @Captain 3 Droids We've had a look at the back end and from what we can tell, it looks like the BeerDroid was manually moved to Storage Mode. It was done at about 6am, so could well have been while sleep walking 😂 Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
