Ingermann Brewing: Brewing Gadgets

Gadgets

This page contains what I consider gadgets. Things that aid in brewing but are not necessary to have. Even though I have some of them. :-)

The item on the left is my oxygenation kit that I bought from Hoptech. The item on the right is my pHep3 meter from Hanna. I bought the meter through Cynmar Scientific Supplies The small, white bottle in the middle is foam control from Hoptech. I have not had the chance yet to use the foam control or the oxygenation kit. I plan on using the O2 for yeast starters and to oxygenate the wort before pitching my yeast. I just starting playing with the pH meter but have not used it in brewing a batch yet. I tested the pH of a couple of beers I was drinking at the time. :-)

These are the scales that I use for brewing. The small black one is a Deering 10gram scale purchased from Precision Weighing Balances. I use it to weight brewing salts when I am not feeling lazy or am feeling a bit anal. Otherwise I just use the old teaspoon method for measuring salts. The larger scale is a Pitney Bowes postal scale purchased from B.G. Micro. I use it to weigh my hops (whole or pellet) and to weigh priming sugar when I am not being lazy. It can only weigh 1 pound in .1 oz increments but for $16, including shipping, you can't complain.

Here is the thermometer that I use. It is also my timer. Notice the Heat shrink(yellow). Picked that tip up from the HomeBrew Digest. This thermometer works great. I received a catalog from Cynmar the other day and they have one similar to this for $29. The only difference is that theirs lays flat and the display tilts up to help prevent dropping it.

This is the Complete Yeast Culturing Kit from Brewer's Resource. I have been using it for a few months now. It is fairly easy to culture your own yeast and it is nice to always have the yeast available at home. One of the main reasons I purchased this is so I can have Rogue's Pacman yeast available without having to get it from the bottle everytime. I don't pour my own slants or anything yet so I order pre-poured plates and slants from Brewer's Resource too.
