PLAATO Airlock - The new way of analyzing your ongoing fermentation

This app was removed from Google Play Store on 2026-05-12

Features & Capabilities

PLAATO is a reinvented airlock that monitors your ongoing fermentation, sending
the key parameters directly to your phone.

PLAATO lets you:
- Monitor the fermentation activity
- Measure the ambient temperature [°F/°C]
- Estimate the Specific gravity and alcohol content [°Oe, %w/w]

PLAATO features:
• WiFi-connection - Access and share your data from wherever you are, using
the PLAATO-app.
• Versatile - Works on beer, cider, wine and all other alcoholic fermentations.
• Replaces your ordinary airlock - Simply switch to PLAATO, and monitoring will
start
• Real time access to data - During the fermentation, you have access to the
essential parameters in real-time, giving you an unique insight of how different
strains of yeast work, how temperature affects the rate of fermentation and much
more.
• Export data - Understand the unique data generated from each batch, and use
the information to compare techniques and taste, and increase you
understanding of whats going on.

How PLAATO works
Plaato measures continously the flow of CO2 from the fermenter, and knows at any
time the total amount of CO2 that has been generated by the fermentation.
Since the fermentation process generates equal amount of CO2 and ethanol, Plaato
can use this data to estimate the Specific Gravity (SG), alcohol percentage and
quantify the fermentation activity.

User Reviews

Pros: strong hardware (keg scale), great concept, accurate gravity readings, useful remote monitoring, and cross-app compatibility. Cons: persistent connectivity issues, buggy app experiences, sparse maintenance/support, and missing features (reset, history, data linking). Overall, the idea and hardware are solid, but reliability and maintenance problems significantly impact user satisfaction.

Pros

Excellent keg scale and solid hardware overall.
Great concept and usefulness for homebrewers.
Accurate final gravity readings close to hydrometer.
Remote fermentation monitoring (ability to monitor activity away from home).
Works well with other brew apps (e.g., Grainfather) to control activity.

Cons

Frequent connectivity problems: device struggles to find or stay connected to WiFi and is inconsistent at network discovery.
App reliability and bugs: settings often don’t stick, calibration issues, update button may do nothing, and graphs can be clumsy or inaccurate.
Lack of ongoing maintenance and support: long gaps between updates and poor/no responsive support.
Feature gaps: cannot reset the device via the app, limited data history/export, and missing in-app data linkage to current batches.

Recent reviews

We have both the plaato keg and airlock. The Keg scale has been excellent with very little issues. The airlock on the other hand, has had all kinds of issue's. The device doesn't not register bubbles if there is a very active ferment. The app has had very few updates (over 2 years now without an update) to address bugs or improve performance. Great concept, poor execution

Br*****, 2024-05-01

App is cool but my airlock is bubbling like crazy and the app reads 0-1 bubble per minute. Its probably more like 50-100. Great concept but needs some updates that communicate accuratly. Otherwise this app is useless and its just a high tech looking Airlock. I bought this specifically to monitor Alcohol level and fermentation but i don't get any accurate information besides C02 levels. Very frustrating.
