If the leak is substantial, the SG-estimation will of course be a couple degrees off. We understand that there are many carboys out there, and many of them are different.
In order to have 100% non-invasive measurements, the Plaato had to be developed based on a compromise. Especially with the...
Hi,
Plaato already have an open API for the prototypes we have out on the market.
In regards to the comparisons of BeerBug - this is a completely different product. We already have 1000+ customers on the same cloud, and with the successful Kickstarter we are already far beyond the critical...
Plaato is 100% sanitizable and waterproof. The lower part (with three leds) is a "click-on" external sensor part that reads the flow of CO2 using infrared sensors through the bottom of the airlock.
Plaato measures the amount of CO2 generated by the fermentation, and uses this data to calculate the Specific Gravity and quantify the fermentation activity. A 100% non-invasive technology used by Speidel and others.
