A Range Of Brewing Equipment

Buying brewing equipment for your brewery is not a piece of cake. You have to do ample amount of research, educate yourselves on the various materials required and then find a good dealer to buy the equipment.

Well, it’s true that brewing beer is not an inexpensive kitchen pursuit. Buying beer is certainly more economical; however, it is not half as satisfying as tasting homemade beer. If you want to start your own brewpub plant, there is a number of brewing equipment you have to purchase. In fact, some of them are expensive. There are some specialized dealers selling a variety of high quality brewing equipment you may need for your home brewery plant or a brewpub plant. 

What are the major brewing materials required to set up a brewery?

•             A large boiling pot made of ceramic coated steel or stainless steel; Buy a bigger pot as it has to hold at least three gallons of liquid with some room to spare.

•             One five-gallon carboy; It is a big glass bottle identical to the bottles that store a large amount of water. However, these should be made of glass in order to brew beer.

•             You will require a large funnel so as to transfer the wort to the carboy.

•             A six-gallon plastic "bottling" bucket provided with a lid

•             Siphon hose which is a long plastic tubing used to transfer the beer from the carboy to the bottling bucket and then into the bottles

•             Racking cane, an ingenious bit of shaped, hard plastic tubing used to connect the siphon hose in order to transfer the beer between containers

•             Fermentation lock to seal the beer from outside contamination whilst allowing the carbon dioxide to escape the fermenter; this fermentation lock should fit in a hole in the carboy’s lid.

•             A long spoon for stirring; Be sure you buy a spoon with a long handle so that you don’t suffer any burns.

•             Get sealable glass bottles.

•             A bottle-capper to secure caps onto the bottles; use any style that attracts your fancy.

•             Bottle caps to cap your bottles

•             An iodine solution or household bleach to sanitize the brewing equipment

•             A good thermometer having a range of at least 40 degrees F to 150 degrees F; you can buy either a stainless steel dial thermometer or a floating dairy thermometer.

Just make sure you buy these materials from a reliable and reputed dealer.
