Game-Changing Brewing Gear

I'm a gear head. I see a new product in a brewing magazine, and I buy it. Or I read a blog, see a new gadget, and I must have it. If I don't like a product, I'll return it or sell it. But thankfully, I haven't had to do that often. However, there are a few products that are...fine. But some are game-changers in my brew day. And today, I want to share a few of my favorite brewing tools. Thermapen $90 for a meat thermometer?! But I bought it anyway, thinking it better be good. And it blew me away! As an amateur chef, I've thrown away a lot of shitty thermometers. And I've used so many and never considered how slow it was to read the damn temp. But when I started using the Thermapen, it was instantly clear how superior it is for measuring mash temps. It's always accurate, and it's the most reliable brewing tool I own. I now own two: for cooking and brewing. Jaded Chiller I love immersion chillers over plate and counterflow. Why? Because it's easier to clean and more control over temp. For instance, if I want to drop the temp after my boil for a whirlpool hop addition, I can do that. Technically you can do that with the other chillers, but I find it easier with an immersion. However, most chillers take a long time and a lot of water to chill down your wort. But I invested in a Jaded chiller and can now chill down 6 gallons of wort in under 5 minutes with their immersion chillers. They're not cheap but well worth the month: well-built, fast-chilling, and less water. Duo Tight Fittings and Eva Barrier Tubing For over ten years, I've used your standard beer line tubing for my kegerator. Plus a bunch of clamps. And I do my best to keep my beer lines cleaner. Probably better than most. You know who you are! But holy shit, these Duo Tight Fittings combined with the Eva Barrier Tubing (both of which you can find on MoreBeer.com). The beer lines are easier to manage in the fridge, the connections are easier to make and maintain, and balancing the kegs is much better. My beers are pouring with a lot less foam these days. But this could be a full email in and of itself. If you're interested in draft line maintenance and balancing, let me know. Also, if you want more of my recommended brewing products, check out my gear page here. Also, I don't accept free gear for review. I buy everything with my own money after a bunch of research. I don't want my brewery filling up with a bunch of free gear that I never use. Happy Brewing! Matt, Founder of Brew Cabin P.S. - Looking for a way to improve your all-grain brewing process?
