Norris! Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 A new airlock?!?! It tracks everything, and reading about it has blown my mind. Seems a little pricey but still cool ashttps://www.plaato.io/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prang Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Good find see it's already had over $100,000 in pledges. I won't be getting one as most of my CO2 leaks out the seals and I'm to tight to spend that sort of money on an airlock. But it's a great idea.

Norris! Posted July 15, 2017 Author Share Posted July 15, 2017 Agreed. I would have to brew a bunch of batches to recover that cost...hmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer Baron Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 I don't think it would connect to my modem from inside my fermentation fridge that is inside my shed 20 metres away from the house. What is the price anyway?? Youngie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Titan Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 I just ordered one in a bundle $149 free shipping. https://www.plaato.io Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Captain!! Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 That’s pretty cool......... but not for me. Unless it can tell me what the fermentation is doing from 1800kms away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben 10 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 ill buy it if it can harvest the co2 for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Have any of you on here used the Tilt hydrometer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norris! Posted December 21, 2018 Author Share Posted December 21, 2018 I never heard of it, but it looks just as cool and does the same things, nice. Now the next step would be to have it all in one as a fermenter with these readings and temp control....but I am sure someone way smarter than me has done that already. The trick would be to make it cheap enough and well made enough for mass consumption to replace the fermenters and fermentation chambers used now, fridges etc. Something around 250 or so that ferments,cools and tracks the beer? Maybe even $300. That would be a steal but still a large investment to start off with for most compared to a kit and kilo and a $20 bucket. Great age to live in.

Pretty good. Not great at telling you the exact fg but very good at telling you when fermentation starts in earnest, approximating dry hop time and telling you when it's done.

Only at the very end - it's either done what it's going to do or would need further attention. But you would be able to see a stall fairly easily. It's also able to be integrated with brewpi/fermentrack if you use a raspberry pi for temp control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wobbly74 Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 And tbh you could probably get more accurate fg readings by setting up more calibration points. But I'm lazy. Sooo lazy. https://youtu.be/mjKB0rc3V_g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
