Alcometer
Alcometer with 0-100% and Proof scales, with instructions. It is not recommended for testing beer, wine or liqueurs as it is most reliable when measuring the alcohol content of liquids with a higher percentage alcohol.
Calibrated to 20 degrees C. -
Dial thermometer with 42mm probe and weldless Kit
A bi-metal weldless thermometer with 3" stainless steel housing, hermetically sealed in a water proof case with glass face. Ideal for fitting to your mash tun, hot liquor tank or kettle. Provides temperature readout in both Fahrenheit and Celsius. The thermometer kit include 1 x stainless washer, 1 x 1/2"NPT/BSP Lock Nut, 2 x Silicone O-rings. Requires a 7/8" drill bit to install. To prevent leaking, wrap the 1/2" BSP threads with Teflon tape prior to threading into the port. -
Stick-on Thermometer strip
Stick-on Thermometer strip graded from 10 degrees C to 40 degrees C. Can be stuck to the outside of any fermenter to give an indication of the temperature of the liquid inside.
We find these are quite reliable but it is always a good idea to test the calibration of any thermometer from time to time. For these stick-on versions, we recommend doing this especially as it gets older or if it is exposed to excessive heat such as hot cleaning water. -
Hydrometer, 3 scale
A brewing hydrometer is a very useful tool for any kind of fermentation. By tracking starting gravity and finishing gravity, you will be able to establish the level of alcohol that has been produced. This is also very helpful when trying to identify if fermentation is complete, which is very important to establish before bottling if you wish to avoid bottle-bombs.
This hydrometer is ideal for wine-making, beer-brewing and cider-making. It includes three scales, allowing you to read specific gravity, potential alcohol, and grams per litre of sugar.The Specific gravity scale is 0.76 - 1.150.

Hydrometer trial jar - 200ml one piece plastic
Hydrometer jar - one piece alcohol resistant plastic.
The main tube is approximately 25cm tall, and it has a graded scale from 20ml to 210ml in 2ml increments, as well as a fluid ounce scale from 1 to 7 in 1oz increments. The diameter of the base is approximately 8cm. -
Glass trial jar - 100ml
Glass trial jar - 100ml. Suitable for hydrometer readings.
Has a graded scale allowing you to measure volumes of liquid from 10ml to 100ml in 1ml increments. The main tube is approximately 21.8cm deep, and it has a lipped edge to assist with pouring liquids out. Diameter of the base is approximately 5.5cm. -
Plastic trial jar - two-piece
Plastic trial jar - two-piece for easy cleaning. Suitable for hydrometer readings.
Once assembled, the main tube is approximately 26.5cms in length. The red base is over 9cms in diameter which makes it more stable than other trial jars with a smaller base. -
Plastic Jug - 3L
Sometimes a 1L jug is too small and a 5L jug is too big. For these occasions, often a 3L jug is just what you need. This one comes with a sturdy handle and a graded scale on the side so you can use it to measure out smaller quantities too. -
Plastic Jug - 5L
No home brewery is complete without a durable 5L jug. This is the only size jug we stock which holds 5L. It has a sturdy handle and has a graded scale on the side to allow you to measure out different volumes of liquid.
