The power of data-driven brewing
48 samples per day. 0 labor cost.
Save 3-6 hours of sampling every week. Access real-time temperature and gravity readings from your smart phone from anywhere.
10% higher production per tank
Know the exact start and end of fermentation and increase turnover in the fermenters. Optimize cooling.
No longer a black hole
Learn from every fermentation. Compare batches and improve recipes based on data-driven insights. React to unstable fermentations in real-time.
Set custom alerts
Get updated about your ongoing batches in real-time. Know instantly if something is not going according to plan.
Examples:
• Target SG is reached, ready to spund, dry-hop, cold-crash or transfer
• Temperature warning, a batch has exceed the preset limit
Compare & learn from every batch
The PLAATO Web-app allows you to dive deeper.
• Access ongoing and historical batches.
• Yeast - Strains, pitching, generations.
• Temperature - Profile optimization.
• Fermentation - Start & end, max/min-rate, lag phase.
• Timing - Dry hopping, diacetyl rest, cold crash, transfer.
Meet the PLAATO Community
Hopsized Brewing, Bonita Springs, Florida
“Plaato Pro has saved me a lot of time and headaches from having to constantly check gravities; or coming back into the Brewhouse extra early the day after brewing to make sure that the yeast has kicked off and not in a lagging state.”
Beer Flag Oslo, Norway
“I can see straight away when the fermentation is finished, so I can improve the turnover of the beers in the fermentors.”
Bentley Brook Brewing, Matlock, UK
"We have loved to being able to check the status of fermentation on demand, without having to go down the the brewery. We can do it from home, any time of day or night."
"It is game changing fermentation".

Technical specifications
How it works
PLAATO Pro is an inline density meter that sits in direct contact with the fermenting liquid through a 1.5" Tri Clamp port on the fermenter.
Advanced tuning-fork technology is used to measure the density of the liquid, by energizing the stainless steel probe to its own resonating frequency - which is directly proportional to the density of the liquid.
The PLAATO Pro is wifi connected and no cabling is needed. With the PLAATO Pro you will receive a connector that can easily be plugged into your existing Wifi network. You will be able to access all insights through the PLAATO Pro App (iOS and Android) or Webapp. API is available.
Accuracy
Temperature: ± 0.1 °C / ± 0.2 °F in fermentation temperatures
Density: ±0.50 °Plato / ±0.002 in fermentation processes ranging from 0 to 19° Plato (1.000 to 1.080 SG).
Installation and Maintenance
Plug & play tri clamp connection: Tri-Clamp 1.5” or DN25-50. 5-minute installation.
Completely wireless: No cabling needed & up to 6 months battery life (replaceable). PLAATO Pro transmits data wireless to the PLAATO Cloud.
App Availability: Webapp, iOS App, or Android App.
Waterproof: Designed with the brewers environment in mind, PLAATO Pro is made from durable materials and FDA-approved stainless steel.
Modular Lid & rail-on system: PLAATO Pro's lid is updatable with future add-ons, such as screens and sensors. The built-in rail system allows you to upgrade your PLAATO Pro with future add-ons.
