The Extract/Original Extract/Plato Monitor is used for highly accurate inline extract measurements in the lauter tub, at the brewing kettle, after the wort cooler, or in the final beer. Decades of practical experience have resulted in the development of several powerful systems for the measurement of cold and hot wort, and beer. Depending on the application, the optimal sensing technology can be selected for the best possible outcome.
