The BrewOps Steam was designed to provide real-time monitoring for brewery boilers, focusing on high-temperature, low-pressure applications (0-100 psi).
Much like the BrewOps Chill, which monitors glycol systems, the BrewOps Steam provides critical visibility into boiler pressure and temperature, ensuring safe and efficient operation.
The BrewOps Steam easily installs onto a standard 1/4"-18 NPT port, replacing a traditional mechanical pressure gauge. This quick-install solution gives brewers access to:
When paired with the BrewOps Edge Gateway, brewers can:
With BrewOps Steam, brewers can proactively monitor their boiler systems, ensuring consistent steam delivery and safe operation without needing to be on-site.

The BrewOps Steam seamlessly integrates with the BrewOps App, allowing brewers to monitor boiler pressure and temperature in real time. Follow these steps to set up, configure, and manage your steam sensor.
Set the Pressure Threshold (psi)
Set the Alarm Delay
Pro Tip: Set a 1–2 minute delay to prevent nuisance alarms from brief fluctuations.
BrewOps Steam sensors are factory-calibrated in Boston at sea level, ensuring a high degree of accuracy. However, depending on your brewery's elevation, you may need to apply a pressure offset for the most accurate readings.
Why Adjust the Offset?
How to Apply an Offset?
Tap Save at the bottom of the screen once the adjustment is complete.
“This action is not reversible. Are you sure you want to delete this sensor?”
By following these steps, you can effectively monitor and manage the steam pressure and temperature of your boiler using the BrewOps App—ensuring safe operation, efficiency, and preventative maintenance planning.
