# Keg

{% hint style="info" %}
Plaato Keg has been discontinued.

Support for Plaato Keg through [`open-plaato-keg`](https://github.com/DarkJaeger/open-plaato-keg) is currently under consideration. If this integration is of interest to you, please let us know.
{% endhint %}

## Legacy Plaato integration

The steps below document the original Brewfather integration for reference only. This integration depended on Plaato's discontinued cloud service and no longer works, even with an existing auth key.

The original setup required users to:

1. Activate **Plaato Keg** in the settings page
2. Go to the **Devices** page in the menu to set up your Plaato kegs

3\. Click configure.

4\. Click Add Plaato Keg, this needs to be done once per keg device.

5\. Each Keg needed its own auth key, which was supplied by Plaato support while the service was active.

The Plaato Keg integration displayed the status of your kegs on the Devices page, including remaining volume, temperature, and gravity readings.

### Setup Details

The original workflow was:

1. Activate **Plaato Keg** in **Settings > Power-ups**.
2. Navigate to the **Devices** page from the main menu.
3. Click **Configure** to manage your Plaato Keg devices.
4. Click **Add Plaato Keg** for each keg device you want to track.
5. Enter the **auth key** for each keg. The original service required one auth key per device, supplied by Plaato support.

### What Data Is Tracked

The Plaato Keg displayed the following information on the Devices page:

* **Remaining volume** in the keg
* **Temperature** of the keg
* **Gravity** readings

### Important Notes

* Each physical Keg required its own auth key from Plaato support.
* The Plaato Keg integration was managed from the **Devices** page rather than from within a batch, since kegs are typically long-term devices not tied to a single batch.

## Hosted option: CraftLab

If you do not want to run your own server, [CraftLab AirlockRevival](https://airlock.craftlab.no/get-token) provides a free, public `open-plaato-keg` instance for Plaato Keg and Airlock devices. No CraftLab account is required.

CraftLab currently displays Plaato Keg data in its own dashboard but does not forward Keg data to Brewfather. Use this hosted option to keep the Keg online and view its data on CraftLab.

1. Open [Get a Token](https://airlock.craftlab.no/get-token) and generate a unique Auth Token for this Keg. Generate a separate token for each additional device.
2. Reset the Keg, connect to its `PLAATO-XXXXX` Wi-Fi network, and open `http://192.168.4.1`.
3. Enter your 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi details, the generated Auth Token, `airlock.craftlab.no` as the host, and port `1234`.
4. Follow the remaining instructions on CraftLab to open your device dashboard.

If you add multiple devices to the CraftLab dashboard, bookmark the latest dashboard link after each change because the device list is stored in the link.

The server detects the device type automatically. See the [CraftLab FAQ](https://airlock.craftlab.no/faq) for troubleshooting, data handling, and service availability information.

{% hint style="warning" %}
The CraftLab Auth Token and personal dashboard link provide access to your device data. Keep them private.

CraftLab AirlockRevival is an independent, third-party hobby service. It has not been verified or endorsed by Brewfather, is not operated by Brewfather, and does not provide a service-level guarantee.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.brewfather.app/integrations/plaato/keg.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
