Hello All,
I'm looking for suggestions for my Christmas list (my dad likes to start early!). I have a basic 5 gallon AG setup (powerade mash tun, 10 gallon pot, outdoor burner, etc.), a temperature controlled fermentation chamber, two serving kegs, and my latest purchase was on oxygenation kit. Some things I'm considering:
If you had $200-$300 to spend, what do you think is the most worthwhile upgrade? Any other suggestions?
Thanks!
John
I'm looking for suggestions for my Christmas list (my dad likes to start early!). I have a basic 5 gallon AG setup (powerade mash tun, 10 gallon pot, outdoor burner, etc.), a temperature controlled fermentation chamber, two serving kegs, and my latest purchase was on oxygenation kit. Some things I'm considering:
- Ferm bucket - I need to replace my fermentation buckets. Should I just buy a few more plastic buckets, or is it worth considering upgrading to SS? Probably not ready to do a full temperature controlled conical, but am really interested the brewtech (or equivalent) brew bucket
- RO system - currently using Bru'n water to adjust my well water, but my water report is a few years old and probably not accurate. Interested in making more pilsners and I know water is critical and my well water is not suitable for pilsners without at least 50% dilution. Should I invest in an RO system, or easier to just buy bottled water?
- pH meter - Using Bru'n water to adjust pH, but I have no idea if my mash pH is accurate.
- Temp probe - might be time to bite the bullet on a thermapen
If you had $200-$300 to spend, what do you think is the most worthwhile upgrade? Any other suggestions?
Thanks!
John
