Home Brewer Water Analysis Report
Get your brewing water tested at a laboratory. The first step to water modifications is to know your brewing water.
If you buy this report, we ship to you the sample containers, pre-paid freight to your closest laboratory (Hamilton, Blenheim or Christchurch), instructions, ice packs and a polystyrene shipping box to keep your sample cold during transport.
Completed test results are emailed back to you once available.
We believe this is currently the only affordable laboratory grade water test aimed at home brewers in New Zealand.
Your sample is being tested for the following parameters:
Calcium
Magnesium
Sodium
Chloride
Sulphate
Total Hardness
Total Alkalinity
pH
The optional add on report uses the data from your laboratory water report to give you tailored advice on how to modify your water for a variety of beer styles.
This is highly recommended unless you know how to interpret & use water analysis data.
You can find an example report here. -
$4.95Plastic Trial Jar - 100ml
100ml plastic trial jar. Ideal for taking hydrometer readings.
Note: these trial jars are slightly shorter than previous batches. They are therefore not suitable for the Alla hydrometers, but fit well for the Keg King ones. -

$8.60Digital Thermometer with 90cm cable
Digital thermometer with metal probe on a 90cm cable. Requires 2 x button batteries which are included. May be supplied in black or white.
-
$17.00Alcometer
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. -
$39.95Dial 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. -
$7.60Stick-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. -
$15.40Hydrometer, 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.

$11.40Hydrometer 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. -
$9.75Glass trial jar - 100ml
Glass trial jar - 100ml. Suitable for hydrometer readings.

$17.30Plastic 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. -
$19.80Plastic 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. -

$39.95Portable Refractometer ATC (Three Scale) Brix - SG Sugar - SG Wort
A sugar refractometer for measuring the density of your beer or wine.
Many brewers prefer to use this instead of a hydrometer because they find it quicker and easier to get an accurate reading. A refractometer will allow you to take instant gravity measurements during mash run-off or during the boil. It works like a hydrometer except you only need a few drops and there is no need to cool a trial jar of liquid before taking a reading.
Using a refractometer lets you check the progress of your brew so you can make adjustments along the way. A valuable tool for all-grain and extract brewers.
