Smart multi-sensor kit simplifies home fermentation
From Smokpub, makers of a compact electric cocktail and whisky smoker, comes the Doubot, a sourdough fermentation system currently on Kickstarter. They claim it's “a smarter way to proof dough” for the novice baker second-guessing their technique.
The majority of seasoned bakers oversee their starters and dough in separate containers with different tools and setups.

There are other sourdough fermentation units on the market, but most only serve to monitor the fermentation process and keep the dough warm.
The Doubot, however – equipped with five built-in sensors – tracks changes in rise percentage, ambient temperature, surface dough temperature, humidity, and CO2 levels in real...
