Tried the new controller out yesterday on a batch of Better Red than Dead. It was great to transfer the beersmith recipe to the app and then have it run on the controller! Worked brilliantly, only had one issue, which I'm 90% sure is my iPhone 6s and not the controller. At the end of each stage when I got a notification on my phone if I was close to out of range when I opened the app it couldn't reconnect to the controller. I'd have to kill the app and reopen, which meant I had to restart the recipe and cycle through to the correct stage. This happened at the end of the mash and the start of the boil. Not a killer but a bit of a pain. I have a similar issue with my ANOVA sous vide stick, which we (support and me) have pretty much narrowed down to an issue with Bluetooth and wifi on the iPhone 6s.

Other than the one issue, I really like this thing. It was so easy to use. I liked the sparge counter that was a nonessential but nice touch.
