How Naked Iguana said goodbye to paper notes and hello to smarter brewing
“The only regret I have about getting PLAATO Pros (Smart Fermentation) is I didn't get them sooner!"
- Richard Rennison, Co-Owner, Naked Iguana
Desire to brew smarter, and faster
The fabulous brewery, Naked Iguana, is an independent and locally owned craft brewery on the Historic Strand, in Galveston, Texas. It was founded by husband-and-wife team, Richard and Tracy Rennison, and opened in November 2023. They brew all of their craft beer in house. And they came to PLAATO to help make their lives easier, and ensure their beer always spot on.
Increasing production and improving consistency and quality
By using Smart Fermentation (via PLAATO Pro sensors) across their fermenters, the Naked Iguana team have successfully managed to:
Turn tanks quicker to meet demand
Brew more efficiently
Eradicate manual sampling
Help their brew team by utilizing custom alerts to optimize spunding and be notified of potential glycol issues.
"Since I began using the PLAATO Pros (Smart Fermentation), I have already noticed a sharp increase in production.”
- Richard Rennison, Co-Owner, Naked Iguana
Brewing faster, crystal clear fermentation and easy to use
Co-Owner Richard explains how Smart Fermentation has helped them: "The PLAATO platform shows fermentation in real-time graphics that make seeing the big picture crystal clear. I have been able to turn batches faster than before, essentially creating a new fermenter, by the time savings. The devices are very easy to use; as an old guy not too savvy in technology, I was able to install them without any guidance from the company."
Only wish they'd installed them sooner
“The only regret I have about getting PLAATO Pros (Smart Fermentation), is I didn't get them sooner!" Richard adds. He concludes: "The customer service is also spot on. I had an hour-long call with Emily and Mark who walked us through all the features to ensure we were getting full utilization of the features.”
