From MoreBeer:
The New RAPT WiFi-enabled temperature controller allows you to monitor, track and control heating and cooling devices remotely via any internet connection. From the portal, easily monitor and adjust your fermentation temp settings remotely. You can also set customized fermentation temperature profiles that will run automatically for you. This is an amazing upgrade to your existing temperature controller!

Stainless Bucket Fermenter w/ Heating – 65L/17.1G (110V) FE192 via MoreBeer
More Info
From the product description, check product page for current description, price and availability:
The Bucket Buddy is a great value if you’re looking for a stainless steel fermenter with built-in heating control. If you live in a cold climate, ale fermentations may be a seasonal affair, as cold ambient temperatures can easily drive down the temperature of your wort below your yeast’s optimal fermentation temp range. The Bucket Buddy offers a simple solution with an integrated heating element and digital temperature control. Program your fermentation temperature and if the temp drops below your set point the unit will gently heat your wort from the bottom up via the concealed element located in the base. For cooling, you can place the fermenter in a dedicated refrigerator or drill into the lid to install a Temp Twister Cooling Coil. A temperature controller probe can then be taped to the side of the fermenter to control your cooling source, or you can drill another spot in the lid for a thermowell.
Another advantage over carboys and plastic buckets is the domed base inside the fermenter which is great for yeast flocculation when fermentation is complete. The included racking arm will make it easy to transfer out every last drop of beer while leaving the yeast cake undisturbed. The entire racking arm and ball valve assembly is weldless, which means you can remove the assembly to clean and sanitize it between batches. You can even boil the assembly for added assurance that it’s been sterilized.
To help maintain a steady temperature and cut down on power consumption, the Bucket Buddy pairs well with either the BrewZilla Neoprene Jacket.
This unit comes standard with silicone tubing to transfer from the ball valve to your bottles or cans, as well as a stopper and airlock for the domed lid.

Thank you to HBF Contributor Aaron Nord for this hands on review! Aaron is an advanced award winning brewer, a long time reader and a serial tipster!
As with many homebrewers, my experience with the hobby began with making a boxed kit on my stovetop with about 50 bottles of drinkable beer when all was said and done. It was enough to keep me coming back, advancing in skill and acquiring equipment as time went on. I realized quickly that bottling was my least favorite part and was looking forward to ditching the bottles and getting into kegging. This change was one that made a big impact as far as increasing enjoyment of the hobby for me – that and getting out of stovetop brewing and into an electric brewing setup.
Inevitably, I found myself in the situation where I still needed to fill a few bottles from time to time, mainly for competitions. Now that I was kegging all my beer, I wanted an option that wouldn’t interrupt that practice too much. At the time, the most prevalent options for homebrewers were complicated counterpressure systems or the Blichmann Beer Gun. I opted for the latter and used that for several years to successfully bottle my competition beers. It has its pros and cons (discussed more later), and I always kept my ear to the ground on other options.
Mini Kegs! from William’s Brewing
More Info
From the product description, check product page for current description, price and availability:
The KegLand Stainless Steel Mini Beer Kegs are specifically designed for home brewing/growler dispensing. They are suited to small batches and suited to people who want to fit them into their home refrigerators. You can naturally carbonate using priming sugars or force carbonate and serve your beer with the optional ball lock lid (item P07, see at right). They come with a silicone gasket sealed stainless threaded lid, so you can fill them with beer and let them naturally carbonate, or carbonate as needed with the optional P07 ball lock lid. You will be given a chance to buy this lid (you do not need a Ball Lock Lid for every keg) when you put this in your cart.
These fit into a standard domestic refrigerator. The optional Ball Lock lid for these kegs use a flexible silicone dip tube the kegs can also be dispensed on their side or upright. The flexible silicone dip tube of lid P07 is heavier than beer, and will sink to the bottom even if the kegs are on their side. Kegs are equipped with a 30 PSI relief valve, and have a maximum pressure of 45 PSI.
Kegland Mini Kegs use the gold standard acid bath electrolosis to pacify the 304 grade stainless steel making the more resistant to rust than any other mini keg on the market. These are the only mini keg that uses a special robotic technique to weld the kegs from the inside out. This means KegLand gets a superior welding finish that is more sanitary than any other mini keg available. Although there are many other mini kegs that come from China simply none have the quality and finish as the genuine KegLand minikegs.

Stainless Bucket Fermenter w/ Heating – 35L/9.25G (110V) via MoreBeer
More Info
From the product description, check product page for current description, price and availability:
If you’ve been looking to step up from fermenting in plastic buckets or carboys, this is an excellent choice for your next fermenter. Stainless steel is a much better option than glass or plastic, as it is extremely easy to clean and virtually lasts forever. There’s also much less chance of contamination as stainless doesn’t scratch like plastic. Over time, you’ll get scratches in plastic fermenters from normal wear and tear, creating microscopic havens for bacteria. Meanwhile, glass carboys are always at risk of breaking which is something you will never have to worry about with stainless steel.
The Bucket Buddy is a great value if you’re looking for a stainless steel fermenter with built-in heating control. If you live in a cold climate, ale fermentations may be a seasonal affair, as cold ambient temperatures can easily drive down the temperature of your wort below your yeast’s optimal fermentation temp range. The Bucket Buddy offers a simple solution with an integrated heating element and digital temperature control. Program your fermentation temperature and if the temp drops below your set point the unit will gently heat your wort from the bottom up via the concealed element located in the base.

KegLand MKII Magnetic Drive Pump | Center Inlet Pump Head | Stainless Steel | 13.5 GPM | 65 Watt from MoreBeer
More Info
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. The pump head is made from 304 grade stainless steel with 3/4″ threaded ports that can easily be converted to tri-clamp. The magnetic drive allows you to slow down the flow without damaging the pump. This pump is not self-priming so do not run the pump dry. The pump head can be rotated in 60-degree increments, allowing for 6 different pump head orientations.
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.
Features:
110V / 60hz
Max Head: 15-21 ft.
Max Flow: 13.5 Gal/min
Max Temp: 248°F (120°C)
Rotatable 304 stainless steel pump head
3/4″ BSPT fittings
Water resistant casing
This works with Kegland’s 65 watt pump!

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.
DuoTights are… awesome. Check out my extensive Hands on Review
When DuoTights first came out, the solution for connecting kegs to EVABarrier was using an MFL QD + DuoTight Flare fitting. That worked just fine and is still the only option available to pin lock keg users.
A while back native DuoTight Ball Lock QDs were introduced. Those are outstanding. Check out My Review
I’m excited to announce another Kegland innovation. DuoTight Ball Lock QDs + Flow Control!
These will allow DuoTight and EVABarrier users to easily dial in resistance without long lengths of tubing.

Announcing: DuoTight Compatible Solenoid Valves!
This super handy Solenoid Valve is compatible with small 1/4″ or 6.35 mm OD tubing. This size tubing is often used on water filtering systems or reverse osmosis systems, and can be used with an Inline Regulator to drop your mains water pressure if needed. To integrate the Inline Regulator, you will also need a Duotight adapter to step up the tubing size for use with EVABarrier 8 mm OD lines.
Unlike some other solenoid valves this is a direct acting solenoid valve meaning the solenoid valve can go down to 0 pressure. This makes it quite handy for controlling CO2 flow or other low-pressure gasses. Suitable for pressures up to 115 psi (8 bar) so it will handle water pressure with no problem at all.
Made from high-quality metal and POM engineering plastics so it is durable and suitable for contact with a wide range of chemicals and beverages.
Specs:
Solenoid Valve | Duotight Compatible | 12V | 0-115 psi | 6.35 mm D1087

Fermzilla 30 Liter Flat Bottom Fermenter via William’s Brewing
More Info
From the product description, check product page for current description, price and availability:
Unlike white plastic semi-porous HDPE Fermenters, the Kegland Fermzilla 30 Liter Flat Bottom Fermenter is made of smooth non porous PET plastic, to make it completely impervious on the inside to krausen and beer film soaking into the plastic, while protecting your ferment from the oxidizing effects of air contact coming in from the outside. This fermenter is not pressure rated, and should not be used with a pressure kit or spunding valve.
• Super smooth PET plastic makes it easy to clean and hard to contaminate.
• Oxygen barrier to prevent oxidation
• Tap Free Design for easy cleaning and less chance of infections
• 4¾” wide lid making it easy to clean
• Fermzilla lid makes it easy to add things like a Temp Twister Cooling Coil and KegLand Thermowell for year round temperature control
Perfect for brewing, wine making, kombucha, and spirit wash fermentation. 23″ tall with airlock, and 14″ wide.
Includes 1 Flat Fermenter Tank, 1 Airlock, 1 Fermzilla Lid (not pressure rated), and 1 Adhesive Strip Thermometer.
