100mm silicone tube for connecting the 30 L Wide Mouth Fermenter Tap to a brew bottler for straight forward transfer. Made with food grade silicone.

A mix-stir agitator rod makes aerating in a carboy a breeze. Simply attach the agitator rod to your drill and you are ready to go. The blades fold up for easy insertion into any sized carboy (except 5L or under).

De-gas your wine in a few minutes, or aerate your wort for a healthy fermentation.

The mix-stir is very effective at de-gassing your wine although it should not be used for more than a few 10-15 second bursts. If you over-use the mix-stir you risk adding oxygen to your wine.

PBW is an alkaline, non-caustic, environmentally and user friendly cleaner. This is the liquid product - we also have the dry powder 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. P.B.W. uses active oxygen to penetrate carbon or protein soils and is not effected by hard water.

PBW has been formulated as a C.I.P. 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.

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.

Benefits
- Replaces Caustic Soda cleaners
- Effective at All Temperatures
- Free Rinsing
- Safe on Polycarbonate surfaces
- Safe to handle - Generates 4
- 5% Oxygen
- Non-hazardous & Non-corrosive
- Excellent hard water tolerance
- Removes protein soil and staining, baked on carbon, and fatty acids

Liquid PBW Highlights:

• Mixes into solution even at lower water temperatures
• Removes tough stains and soils with less scrubbing
• Quickly mixes into solution
• Can be used for a wide range of applications, but is especially effective with canning lines and keg cleaners
• 1-2 oz. (30-60ml) per gallon of water

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.

Yellow RAPT Pill - Hydrometer & Thermometer (Wifi & Bluetooth).

The RAPT Pill allows true real-time specific gravity and temperature logging and control via wifi/bluetooth integration with the RAPT fermentation chamber, RAPT mobile app or RAPT IOT. 

The RAPT Pill allows you to instantly read and log the specific gravity and temperature of your fermentation via the RAPT mobile app on your compatible Android smartphone or tablet, Apple iPhone/iPad or via the RAPT IOT hub on your Windows or Mac Computer.

The RAPT Pill has a long battery life and can last 2-5 months between charges when utilising Wifi. If only using Bluetooth the the battery can last 2+ years before needing to be recharged. The RAPT Pill has a USB-C charging port on the circuit board allowing fast charging from any USB-C cable. Alternatively you can purchase the Wireless Charging Kit so you charge your pill without needing to take it apart.

The RAPT Pill is universal and is compatible with most standard carboys, cornelius kegs, stainless steel fermenters and pressurisable fermenters.

Pill Housing Design

The RAPT Pill housing boasts many advantages compared to other wireless hydrometers such as:

1. Made from strong BPA Free Tritan Plastic
2. Greater ergonomics - The shape of the RAPT Pill has been designed for improved usability compared to other wireless hydrometers such that the Pill seperates into two pieces at the midline of the Pill rather than requiring a difficult to remove end cap to be unscrewed.
3. Sanitary design - The RAPT Pill has no exposed thread and a double o-ring seal which allows for a water-tight seal with reduced risk of infection.
4. Less susceptible to error - The larger housing of the RAPT Pill compared to other wireless hydrometers means that the gravity logging is less susceptible to error from krausen, hops or CO2 bubbles from fermentation.

Different housing colours are sold separately, allowing customisation of your RAPT Pill. 

Specifications:

The RAPT Pill is approximately 37mm x 125mm - compact enough to fit almost anywhere!

What is RAPT?

The RAPT IOT Hub is a free service whereby any RAPT enabled product can both log and store data to the hub where you can conveniently access this data.  The RAPT hub can also allow you to control your devices remotely giving you absolute control of the device irrespective of where you are.  The RAPT portal enables you to make complex temperature profiles that involve different temperature settings over time meaning you can start/run a temp profile giving you a set and forget experience.  The RAPT portal also controls the alert/notification process for you so you can receive email notification in the off instance that something doesn't go to plan.

There is no limit to the number of RAPT devices you can connect the RAPT IOT Hub. This is in contrast to other popular wireless hydrometers where you are limited by the number of hydrometers you can connect to an app.

Charge your Pill wirelessly with this easy-to-install upgrade kit from Kegland. The RAPT Pill is a Wifi & Bluetooth hydrometer for logging fermentation to the cloud.

This easy to install kit allows you to wirelessly charge the Pill, and also access the Pill Captive Portal without needing to open the housing to access the USB-C port!

Includes:
1 x USB-C Wireless Charging Coil
2 x Adhesive Weight Pads
1 x USB-A to USB-C cord (AU power plug not supplied)
1 x Black RAPT Wireless Charging Dock (USB-C)

If the green light does not flash green (captive portal open), it means your battery is insufficiently charged. Leave your pill on the charging pad for 24 hours or until it is fully charged (red light turns off). Then lift the Pill on and off the charging pad and it will activate the captive portal (green light will start to flash). 

Note: RAPT Pill sold separately, this is for the wireless charger only.
