Oat Hulls are the outer shell layer of the oat, inedible and normally removed from the oat.

When used for brewing the hulls improve the filter bed of the mash to decrease the likelihood of a stuck mash. Oat hulls are non-fermentable, and provide bulk helping prevent the mash from settling and becoming stuck during the sparge. Hulls are generally used when making wheat or rye beers.

PBW is an alkaline, non-caustic, environmentally and user friendly cleaner. This is the powder product - we also have the liquid and tablet form.

PBW is a buffered alkaline detergent that has been proven to be more than an effective substitute for caustic soda cleaners. Because of its unique formulation of buffers and mild alkalis, it is safe on skin as well as soft metals such as stainless steel, aluminium, and on plastics. PBW uses active oxygen to penetrate carbon or protein soils and is not effected by hard water.

PBW has been formulated as a clean in place (CIP) cleaner and is very effective in removing protein soils found on brew kettles, fermenters, conditioning tanks, filters and all packaging areas. The concentrations to remove these soils are typically in the 1% range. However, due to soil and water conditions this concentration will vary. To help in hard water areas PBW has been formulated with enough chelators to tolerate hard water over 17 grains (approx. 291mg calcium carbonate per litre).

PBW is an excellent choice as a soak cleaner because it does not require excessive heat as do most caustic based cleaners. This product has cleaned brass and copper filters, and industrial aluminium surfaces successfully.

A refractometer is used to test sugar concentrations in a solution. When light passes through a liquid it bends at an angle. Depending on the density of the liquid, this angle becomes more or less pronounced. Refractometers work using this property and translate this shifted angle of refracted light to fall on a graduated Brix chart that is viewable in the eyepiece. 

When brewing a refractometer allows you to take instant gravity measurements during mash, run-off, or during the boil. A valuable tool for all grain and extract brewers alike.

As the density of wort is not the same as a sugar water solution you may wish to calibrate your refractometer when measuring wort. Click here for more information on how to do this.

When making wine a refractometer makes it very easy to measure the sugar levels at the crush or of your must.

Using a Refractometer:

To use, apply 2-3 drops to the prism face, close the cover and wait 30 seconds. Look through the eye-piece - the line on the screen will show the Brix % and Specific Gravity reading.

Calibrate the unit to 0.0 Brix before use with distilled water.

This model comes with ATC (Automatic Temperature Compensation) allowing you to use the refractometer between 10 / 30 degrees Celsius so the temperature of the sample is irrelevant. 

Comes with:
- Carry case
- Pipette
- Calibration Screw Driver

Note: This tool is used to measure unfermented wort. Once alcohol is present in the wort, the use of a correction table is advised.  It is possible to use a calculator to convert the reading, however it may not be as accurate as a hydrometer reading.

Potassium metabisulphite is used to introduce sulphur dioxide into wine. Small quantities of sulphur dioxide are used to control wine microbes, and sulphur dioxide also reduces wine oxidation. When sulphite is added to wine, it produces about half its weight in SO2 (about one gram of sulphur dioxide is produced when two grams of sulphite are added to the wine).

Here is a link to an excellent article on the use of metabisulphate.

Gen2 - 2400W Power Station 240V - Power Controller

The new and improved Generation 2 - 2400 watt Power Controller. Suitable for homebrewers, distillers and any other means of power wattage adjustment up to 2400 watt (standard 10 amp). If you do not know if your electrical device can be reduced in power without failing, contact the manufacturer or an electrician.

We highly recommend using this product with our 2200w Weldless Element. We do not recommend plugging this unit into anything higher than a 10amp plug. Therefore you cannot use a 3600w tri-clamp element with this unit. We should also point out that if you do use this on a BrewZilla or Digiboil, that you will only be able to reduce 10-30% worth of power before the display turns off. Once the display turns off, so do the elements.

Please note; we recommend using x1 element only per Power Station Controller. If you are looking to use multiple, please ensure you have multiple Power Controllers on different circuits. If you are unsure please ask an electrician or trained professional. DO NOT EXCEED 2400W WITH THIS CONTROLLER!

Protafloc granules is a granular carrageenan product which is added to wort in the kettle to enhance protein removal as the wort cools. 

Benefits

• Natural product which removes substantial quantities of haze forming material without affecting head retention
• Produces brighter worts, reducing the amount of finings required later
• Increases rate of fermentation and attenuation
• Increases filter runs
• Prolongs shelf life in small pack beers

Application

Protafloc Granules should be added to the kettle ten to fifteen minutes prior to the end of the boil or to the whirlpool if this is not possible. This allows the powder to dissolve and disperse the carrageenan into the wort. Should Protafloc be added early in the boil, degradation of the polymer may occur and product efficiency is lost. The reaction between wort proteins and carrageenan is pH dependant and occurs at an optimum pH of 5.3. Below pH 4.4, the reaction does not occur and little benefit is gained from using Kettle finings.

Dosage

The usual dosage rate is 0.0075g - 0.048g per litre of wort. This equates to 0.18g - 1.15g for 24 litres of wort.
