You’ve been using the first Float for quite some time now and you know exactly how to use it to get the best out of your fermentation. But there’s always room for improvement.
We’ve learned a lot from the Float, we’ve used your feedback to create the Float Pro! We’ve optimized for ease of use, so you can brew like a PRO.
Clear color signals, which enable you to tell battery and Wi-Fi status easily!
Surface is smooth all over leaving no room for dirt.
How do they compare?
| Key point | Float | Float Pro |
| Ease of setup | Stable | Faster |
| Charging | USB micro | Wireless and USB-C |
| Battery indicator | Indirect | Instant |
| Time troubleshooting | Moderate | Minimal |
Is setting up Float Pro really that easy?
If the Float still meets your standard, there is no need to change!
But if you’re ready to switch to a hassle-free, time-saving version so that you can focus on what’s important, the Float Pro is your next upgrade.
People that have used both the Float and the Float Pro experienced:
- Easier setup and handling,
- Very sleek housing, easy to clean,
- Not having to take off the cap to switch modes is really convenient.
We want your upgrade to be worthwhile, and if the Float Pro doesn’t deliver clear value within 30 days, you can return the product and get your money back.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Float and Float Pro?
The Brewbrain Float and Brewbrain Float Pro are both wireless digital hydrometers that measure fermentation gravity and temperature, but the Float Pro is a redesigned and more advanced version.
The Float Pro adds several new features compared to the original Float:
1. Smooth, easy-to-clean design
The Float Pro has a completely smooth exterior with no gaps or edges, making it much easier to clean and sanitize between brews.
2. Wireless charging
Instead of using a cable, the Float Pro also supports convenient wireless charging.
3. Multi-color LED feedback
The Float Pro includes multi-color lighting that provides visual feedback for status, activity, and connectivity.
4. Higher build quality – pressure fermenting
The Float Pro uses upgraded materials and construction, resulting in a more robust and premium device. The device can even be used for fermenting under pressure.
5. Longer battery life
Thanks to improved electronics and power management, the Float Pro operates longer between charges.
In short, the Float Pro keeps the core functionality of the Float—continuous fermentation monitoring—but improves usability, durability, and charging convenience.
Does Float Pro work with Brewfather?
Yes. The Brewbrain Float Pro can connect to Brewfather through the My Brewbrain platform.
The Float Pro automatically sends fermentation data—such as gravity and temperature—to the My Brewbrain platform, which can then share this data directly with Brewfather. This allows you to monitor your fermentation progress inside your Brewfather brewing dashboard.
In addition to Brewfather, the Float Pro also integrates with other brewing platforms, including Grainfather and several third-party brewing tools.
All integrations are available free of charge, so you can connect your Float Pro to your preferred brewing software without any additional subscription fees.
Is Float Pro pressure resistant?
Yes. The Brewbrain Float Pro is designed with a high-quality housing and customized seal. This ensures a watertight housing even when fermenting under pressure, making it suitable for modern brewing setups.
The Float Pro operates reliably during pressure fermentation up to +2 bar, while continuing to measure and transmit fermentation data such as gravity and temperature.
How accurate is Float Pro
The Brewbrain Float Pro measures specific gravity with an accuracy of approximately ±0.006 SG.
While this level of accuracy is suitable for fermentation monitoring, the real strength of the Float Pro is continuous measurement throughout the entire fermentation process. Instead of taking a single manual reading like a traditional hydrometer, the Float Pro automatically records many measurements over time.
This allows brewers to see relative changes in gravity, which is extremely useful for:
-
Tracking fermentation progress
-
Determining when fermentation has finished
-
Detecting issues such as yeast not starting or a stalled fermentation
In practice, the Float Pro provides a clear fermentation curve, giving you much more insight into your brew than occasional manual measurements.
