Description

PLAATO Airlock takes your brewing to the next level. Get deep insight into the fermentation of your brews. PLAATO Airlock lets you see how different yeasts behave and lets you learn what types of yeast you should use for different kinds of brews. For the first time you can know precisely when fermentation starts, when it peaks and when it is finished. All this from anywhere in the world. Plaato connects to your local WiFi and transmits data every fifth minute - giving you instant access to the fermenter's activity. When the BPM (Bubbles per Minute) reaches zero, you can be absolutely sure that the beer is finished fermenting - the yeast has fully consumed the sugars - and you can with peace in mind continue with dry-hopping or cold-crashing. Although developed for brewers, the Plaato Airlock can be used for all types of fermentation, including wine, cider, and mead.

I sometimes have two batches fermenting, and would like to track each separately.

I like the idea of being able to get fermentation updates without having to go upstairs to check on beer I am fermenting.

Does this work for wine making?

Ken DeJonge on Dec 13, 2019

BEST ANSWER: Paal from Plaato here. It works for wine, beer, cider, mead and all other alcoholic fermentations.

What happens when an aggressive batch fills this unit with goo?

Matthew Vosika on Mar 20, 2020

BEST ANSWER: I have never experienced this problem. I won’t use the Plaato Airlock with a high gravity aggressive yeast, but rather just stick to using a blow off tube.

The lid warps and you have to wash it. There’s a design fault which means when the thing gets too wet it warps.

Plaato Junk

I would not recommend this to my worse enemy. We did a side by side comparison between 3 Tilts and 3 Plaatos. The 3 Tilts went flawlessly, not so much the Plaatos. We spent more time trying to get the Plaato airlocks to work than it took to brew the 3 fermenters of beer. We had so many problems we decided to delete the 3 and set them up again losing all the data that was all sorts of scrambled. There was 1 we couldn't get to go, one kept disconnecting and the 3rd is finally going but lost data due to the reset. The Tilts we haven't had one single episode. The manager offered to replace the one and when I asked about the other I got no response. I know this crew will spend the extra money on Tilts and send the 3 new Plaatos that we didn't use back for a full refund.

Wow!...Leave it to the Germans to come up with this amazing stuff!

Yeah...it misses the mark by +/- .002 (not the three decimal places), but so do the devices that you drop into the beer as it is fermenting (even after you wait for Krausen to drop). It is top-shelf stuff and this team figured out that "Bluetooth" is better than WiFi! For those of us who would rather spend our time brewing beer than becoming a Certified Network Engineer, I'll explain:

WiFi is supposed to be "seamless" anywhere within your WiFi "Bubble"...Bluetooth requires you to be much closer to get accurate readings without popping the bung. I have a PLAATO Keg ring that works better as a Frisby than a WiFi device. I have a PLAATO airlock device that requires me to be in the same room to check temp, ESTIMATED ABV and yeast performance (BBM) WITHOUT having to open the fermenting fridge. I really appreciate my PLAATO airlock...my Keg measuring device, not so much as it still sits in my Kegging bin like I wish $120 would be sitting in my bank account.

Not worth it

I have used a Tilt hydrometer in the past, I own two of them, and I thought I'd give this one a try. While the two I bought work, it has issues counting the bubbles. The total bubbles goes to zero periodically, so then you have to open the beer, check the SG and then update via the app. It does a fine job of telling you when the beer is done fermenting, but buy a Tilt, they are better.

Response from MoreFlavor

Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that you've had trouble with this unit. Perhaps the one you got is a little bit faulty and will need to be replaced with a new unit. We are happy to work with you on getting that exchanged if you follow the "return an item" link at the bottom of our website. Have you had any better luck with the PLAATO since writing this review? Any update would help us as well as other customers. Cheers!
