How does the PLAATO Pro handle dry hopping?
The presence of hop material may cause brief interference with the sensors in the immediate period after mixing hop particulate into your fermentation vessel, however, this will be temporary and will not damage or alter sensor function. If this happens, you may see slight changes to the density readings for a short period following a hop addition, but all readings will return to normal without need for compensation or calibration.
How can I use the PLAATO Pro to determine the optimal time for dry hopping?
The PLAATO Pro system includes built-in alerts for density and temperature that can be customized within your recipes. By setting a dry hop alert, you'll be notified at the same fermentation stage for each batch, helping you dry hop consistently and at the ideal time.
If you're aiming to improve both the consistency and quality of your brews, this feature is a great tool to incorporate into your process.
