so today i received some brewing equipment to add to the BK brewery. new pressure relief valve for my kegs cause they were old and leaky so just replaced those, new gas in and gas out posts as a backup incase one keg has an issue with either post, and a new tool i'm really excited about, a winethief. now a wine thief for those who don't know is used to draw sampled from the fermenters while using a hydrometer to check the gravity, or sugar content, of the beer. this is the only true way to measure and know the fermentation has completed. you CAN wait a certain amount of days to make sure fermentation has completed, but why wait extra time, and why not know when its done. i also recieved some carboy caps, but it hink i will just use stoppers so mayb these will be sent back.
on order i have a bunch of stoppers, a plastic racking cane, and some 5/16" id hose so i can make a makeshift counter pressure filler so i can bottle my brews from the keg, and send them to competitions, friends, and family. also still waiting for my ingredients to get here for my next wheat ale, should be here tomorrow!! and now thinking i am going to do half blueberry wheat and half strawberry kiwi wheat. just need to decide when to add the flavorings.
