Does the PLAATO Pro monitor hop creep?

Hop creep refers to the unintended secondary fermentation caused by enzymes in dry hops that break down residual sugars, leading to renewed yeast activity. This can result in changes to gravity, pressure, and CO₂ levels—sometimes even after fermentation was thought to be complete.

The PLAATO Pro continuously tracks key fermentation metrics including gravity, temperature and fermentation activity. 

These data points allow you to:

  • Detect renewed activity post-dry hop additions.

  • Identify unexpected gravity drops, indicating sugar conversion.

Using PLAATO Pro’s dual conditioned alerts and real-time tracking, you can stay ahead of hop creep and take corrective action before it impacts beer quality or safety.
