MoreBeer #10 Silicone Thermowell Stopper – Works w/INKBIRD! – $19.99, Limited Availability – matches 2019 deal

#10 Silicone Stopper Thermowell FE627

#10 Silicone Stopper Thermowell by MoreBeer

More Info

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

This carboy thermowell is used in conjunction with the Digital Controller, FE601A, FE610A, or FE602, to more accurately regulate internal temperature during fermentation. It is exceptionally useful during the start of fermentation when the lag between ambient temperature in the refrigerator and actual temperature in the carboy can vary greatly. Now you can keep your beer or wine within one degree of the set point on your digital controller. Designed to fit either 3, 5 or 6 gallon PLASTIC carboys or any other similarly sized opening hole. The unit comes with a 15″ stainless steel thermowell and a #10 silicone stopper that will accommodate our sanitary filter, FIL90, as well. It can be used in any container with a stopper opening of this size where you need to accurately monitor and control liquid temperature.

Will not work with Johnson Temperature Controllers (FE600 or FE611) because the probes are too large.

 

According to answers in the Q & A section this works with Inkbird ITC-308 probes.

Reader Pic and Feedback… Digital Refractometer

Digital Refractometer

More Info


Highlighted Features
  • Widely used for Fruit,Juice,Beverages,Suger Content Measurement in Wine Making,Beer Brewing,Homebrew Kit
  • Measurement range:0-55% Brix
  • High-precision,Resolution:0.1% Brix; Accuracy:± 0.2% Brix
  • Automatic temperature compensation
  • Only a few drops of sample are needed
  • The product is compact and portable.Comes with a portable bag for easy storage and carrying
  • The front of the instrument can be rinsed with water, but the entire machine cannot be immersed in water.

 

For me, getting a refractometer was one of those upgrades that made a lot of difference.  With a refractometer you need a sample size of two drops.  I figured that this would pay for itself in beer savings alone.  I also had just broken my hydrometer and came to the realization that hydrometers are made of breakable glass that can break! 🙂

With the aid of calculators – get a Free Non-Expiring Brewfather Trial Account –  Refractometers can be used to measure gravity throughout the brewing process.

Thanks to HBF Reader Paul for the feedback and picture!  [8 Ways to Connect with HBF]

Paul says… Works really nice. Checked calibration upon first use… Spot on. It’s as easy to use as it looks.

Hands on Review: Kegland BlowTie Spunding Valve

BlowTie v2 w/Gauge that has been updated to digital, see below for walk through of that process.

A Spunding Valve allows you to maintain a set pressure. If pressure in the vessel exceeds the set point, it is expelled. It generally consists of an adjustable PRV valve, a tee, a gauge and a way to connect to your keg.

Why a Spunding Valve?

There are loads of homebrew related applications for a Spunding valve ranging from pressurized fermentation to naturally carbonating to fixing over carbonated beers and lots more.  Check out our resource post on the subject.  It’s arguably the go-to resource on the Internet on the subject

BowTie v1 Assembly

BlowTie v1 & v2!

This review covers both the original v1 Kegland v1 BlowTie & v2. Both are DuoTight compatible. The biggest difference is v2 has an integrated gauge, where v1 required an add-on gauge.

Kegland BlowTie v2

Kegland BlowTie v1

BlowTie v1 assembly that has been updated to digital, see below for walk through of that process.

But first, more about DuoTight!

Kegland’s DuoTight Fittings are designed to work with EVABarrier Double Wall Tubing.  They offer quick, reliable connections, easy implementation, a variety of fitting options and feature amazing versatility.  They’re also, generally speaking, very well priced.  DuoTights are push to connect fittings and require no tubing clamps.

Check out my extensive Hands on Review

Check out the end of this review for a list of all of my DuoTight related reviews and resource posts.

Hands on Review Kegland BlowTie Spunding Valve v1

The BlowTie Spunding Valve assembly consists of the BlowTie, a DuoTight Tee Fitting, a DuoTight to flare fitting, a DuoTight pressure gauge and two small pieces of EVABarrier Tubing.

The BlowTie is the heart of this build.  It has DuoTight Push to Connect connections on both side as well as an adjustment knob to set pressure.  Related: DuoTight Hands on Review. Continue reading

Limited Time DEAL on Mark II Keg and Carboy Washer + In Depth Review

cln_img_2973

Mark’s Keg and Carboy Washer

More Info

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

Make Better Beer!

Hand crafting beer is a fun and rewarding hobby. The first rule of making better beer is to keep everything that touches the beer clean and sanitized. The Mark II Keg Washer helps to accomplish this task in an easy, efficient, and effective manner.

Save Time, Labor, Space and have fun!

The most labor-intensive and time-consuming task in brewing is cleanup. The Mark II Keg Washer allows you have all your containers and hoses clean by the time your brewing task is done.

Many home brewers set aside containers ?to be cleaned later.? This discourages getting started on the next batch.

The Mark II Keg Washer should be the first piece of equipment you set up and the last thing you put away on brew day or when you transfer your beer from one container to then next.

When transferring beer from one container to the next, we first use the Mark II Keg Washer to sanitize the container that the beer will be transferred to. Then we clean the container that the beer was transferred from.

  • 【Reptile Thermostat Wide Range of Applications】 This thermostat socket with probe is widely used for glass house, greenhouse,incubator,terrarium, refrigerators, fermentations, heating mat and other temperature controlled systems.

 

Use to control your compatible kegerator or fermentation chamber.

Single stage temperature controller with 1,800 watt rating. Controls a heating or a cooling device. I would say that 1,800 watt is a higher capacity than many of the homebrew controllers out there.

A couple things I really like about this controller… It features a direct plug in instead of an extension cord style plugin. I think that’s a tidier setup in a lot of cases. Second it features start and stop temperatures. Normally temp controllers have a set point and an offset. The controller attempts to keep things close to the set point within the constraints of the offset. So, let’s say it’s 68 degrees with a 2 degree offset. That works just fine but it’s more confusing than.. start at this temperature, stop at this temperature.

Cleans Tubing Too

  • Cleans tube separately utilizing the pump with the additional barb fittings included.

Cleans Parts

  • Saves water and sanitizer.

The keg washer does not have an on/off switch, you can plug it directly into a wall outlet to operate the pump or plug it into an outlet that is controlled by a switch. Never leave the keg washer unattended when in use.

When in use, fill the keg washer up to about 1 inch under the brim. The pump is not self priming, so always make sure the basin is full of water before plugging in the pump.

We are proud to present these FD storage tanks made of premium quality 304 stainless steel. Built in Germany by Speidel and sold exclusively in the USA by MoreWine! Pro for over 20 years, the world-class traditions of German engineering and craftsmanship are reflected in these tanks. And, after examining tanks built by every major manufacturer worldwide, we can safely say that when it comes to features, quality, and price, these tanks represent the very best value available in stainless steel beer storage.

Safely store small volumes of product in these beautiful tanks. The legs make accessing the ports easy and the convenient top hatch makes cleaning a dream when combined with the 2R interior finish. Heavy-duty sealing mechanism and gasket form a seal on top with a stainless steel lid equipped with a T.C. port for adding accessories or an airlock. The inside is finished to Speidel quality standards with flawless welds and a 2R finish.

The tanks will support a few PSI of pressure, however, they are not pressure-rated or designed to be used under pressure.

Tank Ports
Tanks feature 1.5″ T.C. outlets (1 on bottom for complete drainage, one in middle for racking arm, one on top for blowoff/airlock), and also two welded DIN fittings. One DIN port is equipped with an included sample valve and the other has an included thermometer and thermowell combination. The cooling jackets have two 1” NPT ports.

Speidel Quality Features

Full Jacket – These tanks are equipped with a max cooling jacket rated to 6-bar. This will allow you to hook it into a glycol system for complete temperature control.
Interior Finish – Speidel tanks feature an ultra-smooth 2R interior surface which allows you to clean your tanks with cold water, without scrubbing. This saves significant labor costs.
Weld Quality – Speidel’s robotic-arm laser welders create flawless stainless-to-stainless junctions that look and feel more like a taped fabric seam than a traditional weld. Ultra high-quality welds leave no chance for residual products to harbor spoilage organisms.
Warranty – Speidel and MoreWine! Pro back up each and every tank with an industry-leading 25-year warranty against defects in materials or workmanship.
Thickness – Speidel tanks are on average around 25% thicker than Italian-manufactured tanks of the same general capacity and dimensions.

8.5″ Top hatch for easy cleaning and additions.

MoreBeer must be clearing out some of their conicals because this is the third stellar deal I’ve found lately. These are marked down a whopping $800 to $999.99.

Note that previous conical deals have been quick sellouts. I’d act sooner than later on this one as I don’t expect it to last long
