Fermentation you can steer, not just watch.
A spirit's character starts in the ferment, and so does most of its yield. Fermion reads each vessel as a live trajectory and holds it inside the envelope you chose, so the wash reaches the still on character instead of off it.

What it does
Reads the wash as it happens
Most distilleries run fermentation half-blind. Lab gravity readings land hours late, so operators react instead of steer. Fermion fuses live probe data with the mash bill and pitch to model where the ferment is heading, then keeps it inside the plan.
- Forecasts gravity fall, heat rise, and completion time from live signals.
- Flags stuck or sluggish ferments and infection before they cost you a batch.
- Shapes the ester and congener precursors the downstream cut depends on.
FERMENT TRAJECTORYLIVE
How it works
From reading to acting, under your rules
Fermion starts by watching and explaining. As it earns trust on your vessels, it takes on cooling, aeration, and nutrient dosing inside limits you set. Nothing happens outside the guardrails, and every action is written to an audit log.
- Live soft-sensor for attenuation and ester development.
- Closed-loop control of cooling, aeration, and dosing.
- A wash passport handed to Cutrix and Nosera with a predicted profile.
Autonomy, on your terms
- Shadow mode compares the planned trajectory against the real one.
- Assist mode proposes actions your operators approve.
- Graduated autonomy acts only inside limits you set per vessel.
Capabilities
Built for wash consistency and the yield that pays for it
Trajectory forecast
Predicts final gravity, timing, thermal rise, and the ester precursor range from live signals.
Thermal control
Tunes jacket schedules and ramp limits to protect the yeast while keeping the batch on plan.
Health detection
Spots stuck ferments, yeast stress, nutrient shortfall, and contamination patterns for review.
Congener planning
Ties the target profile to what the still and the brand actually need downstream.
Recipe protection
Keeps your yeast programs and sensory targets isolated to your tenant.

Signals
What Fermion reads, and what it does with it
Every recommendation traces back to signals your team can open and check.
| Signal | Source | What Fermion does |
|---|---|---|
| Temperature | Fermenter probes and jacket telemetry | Holds heat generation inside the approved trajectory. |
| Gravity / Brix | Inline, sample, or lab readings | Forecasts attenuation and catches stalls before the schedule slips. |
| pH | Probe or lab sample | Flags drift tied to yeast stress, infection, or a recipe mismatch. |
| Dissolved O2 / CO2 | Inline sensors | Times aeration and reads the pace of the ferment. |
| Target profile | Recipe and sensory goals | Maps wash conditions to the ester and congener profile you want. |
Inside the stack
The upstream node of grain to glass
Fermion is where the Caskent loop begins. It hands a characterized wash and a predicted congener signature straight to Cutrix for the cut, gets sensed by Nosera, and feeds Caskora's maturation model. Every ferment it runs deepens a shared dataset that makes the next one easier to call, across every vessel and every site on the platform.

Common questions
Do I have to give it control right away?
No. Fermion runs in shadow mode first, comparing its plan against your real ferments. You move to assisted actions and then bounded autonomy only when you are ready.
What sensors do I need?
It works with what most fermenters already have: temperature, gravity or Brix, and pH. Dissolved oxygen and inline gravity sharpen the model where you have them.
Will it protect our recipes?
Yes. Your yeast programs, recipes, and sensory targets stay isolated to your tenant and are never shared across customers.
