High Accuracy: With the highly sensitive probe, you can get a full measurement range of 0-14pH and 0.01 pH resolution, and the pH meter uses a 3-point calibration method to calibrate the electrode to solutions of pH 4.00, pH 6.86, and pH 9.18. You can calibrate effortlessly to ensure the accuracy of your measurements
Automatic Temperature Compensation: With the ATC function, the 4-in-1 pH meter solves the inaccurate measuring problem caused by the change of liquid temperature.

Special Note: The digital pH meter includes 1.5V*4 (LR44) batteries. These are for one-time use and cannot be charged. It needs to be replaced when it is used up. And if you want to keep the tip of the pH meter wet, you can use potassium chloride on the market
Calibration instructions: Currently, only pH calibration powder, EC, and TDS standard solutions are not included, so only pH calibration, calibration powder, and distilled water stirring are the calibration solutions

pH Meter: You can use a pH meter to check the pH of your water, mash, [test Star San effectiveness] and finished beer.
TDS Meter: TDS meters can are helpful for brewing if you’re using a RO filter or if you purchase RO (reverse osmosis) water for brewing. If you’re using an RO filter a TDS meter tells you how effective your filter is and can help you know if your filters need to be replaced. If you buy RO water, a TDS meter can let you know what you’re getting as some water processors add minerals back for flavor. A TDS meter will allow you to make sure you’re getting what you want.
Thermometer: You can use a thermometer to… measure temperature. 🙂

Great time to try Barke Pilsner Malt…. Save on Recently Released Barke Malt All Grain Pilsner Kit from William’s Brewing

Barke® Pilsner Mashing Kit

Made with premium Weyerman® Barke® Pilsner malt, this pale pilsner mashing kit features a rich continental malt flavor, balanced with German Hallertau hops.

Includes 13 pounds of Barke Pilsner Malt, 2 Hallertau hop additions, and priming sugar. Makes 5 gallons with a starting gravity of 1.065. Needed yeast not included, order separately above.

Note: The malt for this kit is unmilled to preserve freshness. If you do not have a grain mill, please pick a milling option. Fine milling is best for brew in bag and traditionial three tier mashing systems, while we recommend coarse milling if you have an electric system like a Mash & Boil, Brewzilla, Grainfather, or Anvil Foundry.

Choosing a Yeast

Interesting yeast choices with this one. Pick LalBrew NovaLager if you want an easy to use yeast that is forgiving of temperature variations. Pick Wyeast 2206 Bavarian Lager if don’t mind a yeast that is more fussy temperature wise, but will deliver a very clean lager if you keep it between 65 and 68 degrees F. Pick Fermentis SafBrew LD-20 (yeast with enzymes for the lowest final gravity) if you want a very dry and crisp lager with the maximum alcohol content. Keep in mind LD-20 will ferment the beer down to 1.000 or less, and it will be harder to naturally carbonate if you use sugar to carbonate, due to the higher alcohol content. This is not a consideration, of course, if you keg your beer and force carbonate.

From the product description, check product page for current description, price and availability:

The “Big Brother” to one of our best-selling pumps! Expect the same quality that customers have come to expect from the MKII Pump (PMP500) but with more power. This 65 watt magnetic drive pump is powerful enough for homebrewers and micro brewers alike. Use it to move hot wort in an all-grain system and also to transfer wort from boil kettle to fermenter.

We recommend adding two 1.5″ T.C. x 3/4″ Female BSPP adapters to the ports. From there you can use a ForgeFit 1.5″ T.C. x Male QD to use quick disconnects with your lines, or convert to your preferred tri-clamp fittings.

25% Off KegLand Tri-Clamp Pump w/Stainless Steel Head!

KegLand MKII Magnetic Drive Pump | Tri-Clamp Inline Pump Head

More Info

From the product description, check product page for current description, price and availability:

Magnetic drive enables you to slow down the flow without damaging the pump—just add a ball valve to the outlet!
T.C. connection allows the pump head to be oriented at any angle in a full 360-degrees
Pull ring PRV at the pump outlet makes it easy to purge air and prime the pump before each use
Inline flow path for smooth integration into your brewery while keeping your tubing lines tidy
Stainless steel head with 1.5″ T.C. ports to attach your preferred tri-clamp fittings

The best-selling MKII Magnetic Drive Pump now available with a major upgrade! This unit comes standard with an inline stainless steel pump head that installs on the pump body with a 3″ tri-clamp. Compared to the standard “center inlet” pump head, the “inline” flow path can make it much easier to integrate into your brewery and keep your brewing hoses tidy. At the outlet of the pump, there is a very handy pull ring PRV that allows you to bleed liquor or wort from the pump head to release trapped air and prime the pump. And with the 3″ T.C. connection, not only do you have a full 360-degrees to orient the pump head any which way, cleaning the pump after use could not be easier—just pop off the tri-clamp, wash out the pump head, and clamp back on.

The MKII is a perfect pump for your system and comes highly recommended for brewers stepping up to all-grain brewing. Rather than schlepping heavy kettles filled with hot liquor or wort around your brewery, or awkwardly stacking them into a 3-tier gravity setup, allow this handy pump to move liquid from vessel to vessel while everything remains in place. The magnetic drive allows you to slow down the flow without damaging the pump. This can be done by attaching a ball valve to the outlet side of the pump, and then you simply open or close the valve to control the flow rate. The pump itself is not self-priming, but priming is super easy thanks to the pull ring PRV which will help ensure the pump head is full of liquid and trapped air is released before powering it on.

Tri-Clamp Pump Head
The T.C. pump head can be removed quickly and easily using the 3″ tri-clamp. This means no drivers or power drills are needed to back out the six Phillips head screws that mount the pump head on the standard version of the MKII. Whip the head off in a flash to clear out spent grain, hop material, or clear a blockage. Attaching the pump head with a tri-clamp also allows the head to be rotated at any angle in a full 360-degrees. This makes it easy to configure the plumbing to your unique brewery setup.

Inline Design
An “inline” pump head simply means the input and output are on a straight horizontal line with one another which can make it easier to integrate into your brewery setup. If you’re using a 3-vessel horizontal system, the inline pump head will make it easier to keep your hoses neat and tidy compared to pumps heads with a center inlet.

PRV Purge Valve
The corny keg style PRV will make priming the pump a breeze. Simply let bleed the pump head to purge air out before turning the pump on and you’ll avoid any cavitation issues. The PRV also acts as a safety so you do not over pressurize your pump head or brewery system.

304 Stainless Steel
The entire pump head is made from 304 grade stainless steel so it’s highly resistant to chemicals, heat, and physical abuse. The 1/2″ BSP threaded ports can be used to attach barbs, quick disconnects, camlocks, tri-clamp adapters, or any other 1/2″ fittings you prefer.

Features:

110V / 60hz
Max Head: 11.15 ft. (3.4 m)
Max Flow: 5 Gal/min (19L/min)
Max Temperature: 248°F (120°C)
360° rotatable stainless steel pump head
1.5″ T.C. ports
Water resistant casing (not waterproof)

KegLand Part Number: KL27526

If you’re brewing on a budget and want the most affordable pump possible, check out the standard model MKII pump. This has been our best-selling pump for years and you can always upgrade it down the road with the standard stainless center inlet head or inline stainless tri-clamp head.

From the product description, check product page for current description, price and availability:

Our Signature Series kits offer a selection of crazy, unique beers developed by MoreBeer! customers, associates, and homebrewing legends!
A malt-forward German ale with a sturdy bitterness
Includes Magnum, Saaz, and Mt. Hood hops
Estimated ABV: 5%
Estimated IBUs: 34-38
Makes 5 gallons of finished beer

“Ever since the first alt bier hit my lips I’ve been hooked on this style! Germany has alot more to offer than just their lagers and this is a great example!” Ryan recommends a step mash. He likes to dough-in at 130F for a 15 minute Protein Rest, and then raise to sacharification rest of 154F for 60 minutes before mashing out at 168F. He likes a 45-60 minute sparge with 170F liquor. Ryan also recommends a 90 minute boil for this style, so hold off on those hops until you are 30 minutes into boil. You may need to collect more wort than you normally would to compensate for the additional boil-off. Ferment at 62-64 for 2 weeks in primary, and lager or 4-8 weeks at 40F if you can keep your hands off it for that long. Prost!

Makes 5 gallons
Estimated Original Gravity: 1.052-56

Then put the probe into the solution for 24 hours, take it out and clean the residual solution on the surface of the sensitive bulb. Now, you can start to calibrate. (Note: If the sponge is wet enough, please skip this step.)
【DURING USE】: If there is inaccurate calibration, repeat the step of 'Before Use'. If using your own potassium chloride powder, prepare the solution by adding 61.5g of KCL into 250ml of water. Then, put the probe into the solution for 24 hours, take it out and clean the residual solution on the surface of the sensitive bulb. Now, you can start to calibrate.
【AFTER USE】: To ensure the activity of the sensitive bulb, add a drop of newly prepared potassium chloride solution into the sponge inside the probe cover. Also, to better maintain the activity of the sensitive bulb, add the solution to the sponge every two months.
▶ 【Notification】Calibrate once per week if you often test solution of PH <4 or >10, or once per half month for neutral solutions. The 250ml calibration solution for multiple uses (10ml or so each time). Then rinse the electrode with pure water before next test.

From HBF: Make sure the components you use are compatible and rated for your intended application. Contact manufacturer with questions about suitability or a specific application. Always read and follow manufacturer directions.

Notes from HBF: Given the right setup, this could be helpful as a pulley for a BIAB setup. Of course, you’ll want a capable place to hang it and want to make sure to stay under the rated capacity. Also, this does not include a rope, it’s the pulley only.

Malt of the Month Deal… Barke German Pilsner Malt

For a limited homebrew shop behemoth Northern Brewer has 55 lb sacks of Barke® German Pilsner Malt on sale for $82.98.
Shipping is an additional charge. For me it’s… a soul shattering $53.86. This is going to vary by location, but I don’t think it will get much better. I’m relatively close to Northern Brewer, just one state over. Link below.

The “deal” is a total of $136.84 (again for me, this will vary)

A way better alternate deal…

When you purchase 6+ 5lb bags of the same grain MoreBeer will apply a volume discount. You can see this discount on each product page. Here is an example:

Malt Deal at MoreBeer! – choose 6 more 5lb bags of grain to see volume discounts

Get Free Shipping: Shipping is free with a qualifying $59 order to many US addresses

Let’s take Briess 2 Row as an example. For a near apples to apples comparison, buy 11 x 5 lb bags and they drop to $7.65. That comes out to $84.15… shipped. That’s to any address in the contiguous US.

This looks similar to my 24″ Stainless Whisk. That whisk is an easy upgrade that I generally recommend for all but small batch only brewers. Check out my Hands on Review of that great tool.

Use this on brew day in your mash tun and brew kettle. In the mash tun… a whisk like this makes quick work of breaking up up doughballs. In the brew kettle… Use to incorporate extract, stir the brew kettle or start a kettle whirlpool.

Gamma Seal Lids – Hands on Review – are a great upgrade to standard buckets. You attach the base of the unit to the bucket and leave that intact. The lid screws on and off easily. No more prying lids off. These are also airtight. I use buckets with Gamma Seal Lids as my primary storage for bulk grain and recipe kits.
How much grain can you store in a 5 gallon bucket? My rule of thumb for grain storage capacity is 5 lbs per gallon. With that estimate a 50 lb sack of grain fits in (2) 5 gallon buckets. That’s a rough estimate, actual storage capacity will vary.
