A quality mash paddle is an essential piece of equipment for all-grain brewers. 

This high quality stainless steel mash paddle is approximately 61cm long and will make stirring the mash and avoiding dough balls a much simpler task. Avoiding the formation of dough balls during the mash is important to ensure the full extract potential of the mash is achieved. 

The paddle is also perfect for all other stirring duties and may even be used to knock down the hot break at the beginning of the boil.

Reusable mesh bags for straining your grain or hops. Good for using with the brew in a bag (BIAB) method and can be tied or fitted over your vessel. Available in large and small sizes. The large fine bag includes a drawstring.

Small: approx. 300mm x 300mm (nylon)

Large: approx. 800mm x 550mm (polyester) - 63 micron mesh, suitable for boiling, up to 110C

A copper immersion chiller is a great piece of equipment for all-grain and extract brewers to cool the wort at the end of the boil. It is immersed into the boiling wort at least 10 minutes before the end of the boil (this will help to sanitise the chiller, although it should be clean before being used) and attached to a cold water source.

When ready to cool the wort, turn on the cold water and it will flow through the immersion chiller and cool the wort.

To increase the rate at which the wort cools you can stir the wort to create a whirlpool. This will cause more of the wort to come into contact with the chiller and cool the wort faster. Make sure to sanitise whatever you use to stir the wort.

You could also use a pump (such as the MKII 25w High Temp Magnetic Pump) to create a whirlpool immersion chiller; made popular by award winning American home brewer Jamil Zainasheff. Here is a link to Jamil's site, Mr Malty, with more details.

An immersion chiller can also be used to pre-chill the cooling water. Just submerge the immersion chiller in an ice bath to to pre-chill the water that ultimately flows into another immersion chiller in the wort. This can be particularly helpful during summer when the groundwater temperature increases.

Silicone hose for liquid transfer. It is resistant to constant high temperatures and will handle temperatures above boiling point, and has excellent chemical resistance. The soft silicon is easy to work with and seals very well.

Please note that this tube should not be used for pressure above 15psi (such as mains water pressure), and has a burst pressure of around 30psi.

Price is per metre unless specified.

This polyester bag is perfect for small grain additions or for hopping beer. It is a tube of fabric that is approximately 15cm wide and 75cm long. Both ends are open for easy cleaning and can simply be tied closed while being used. Perfect for grain or hops (suitable for use up to 110 degrees C).

A brewing heater belt that fits around your fermenter to provide steady and constant warmth for your brew. The 30 watts will gently warm without creating a hot spot, and can be moved up or down the fermenter to increase or decrease the heat transfer to the brew.

To further control the temperature of your fermentation, combine with a RAPT Temperature Controller or similar to regulate the heater belt automatically.

Note: fermenter not included.
