pH Meter

StarStarStarStar

Measures the acidity or alkalinity of the fermenting medium, as pH can affect fermentation efficiency and stability of the end product.

StarStarStarStar

Fermentation Weight

StarStarStarStar

A weighted object placed on top of the fermenting food to keep it submerged in brine, preventing exposure to air that could lead to spoilage.

StarStarStarStar

Thermometer

StarStarStarStar

Used to monitor the temperature of the fermenting product, which is crucial for the yeast's health and activity levels.

StarStarStarStar

Sanitizer

StarStarStarStar

Chemicals used to sterilize equipment and vessels before and after fermentation to prevent contamination and spoilage.

StarStarStarStar

Bung

StarStarStarStar

A stopper for the opening of a fermentation tank or barrel, often used with an airlock to seal the vessel while allowing gas to escape.

StarStarStarStar

Yeast Nutrient

StarStarStarStar

Additive providing essential nutrients to yeast, which supports healthy and vigorous fermentation, especially important when fermenting high-gravity beers or mead.

StarStarStarStar

Cheesecloth

StarStarStarStar

A loose-woven gauze-like cloth used to cover fermentation vessels, allowing air to flow while keeping out insects and debris.

StarStarStarStar

Racking Cane

StarStarStarStar

A rigid tube used for siphoning fermented liquid from one vessel to another, typically used during the bottling process to avoid stirring up sediment.

StarStarStarStar

Airlock

StarStarStarStar

A device that allows for the release of carbon dioxide during fermentation while preventing outside air from entering and contaminating the product.

StarStarStarStar

Hydrometer

StarStarStarStar

A tool used to measure the specific gravity or density of liquids, which is indicative of fermentation progress and sugar content.

StarStarStarStar

Siphon

StarStarStarStar

A tube used to transfer liquid from one container to another by suction, often used to bottle fermented beverages without disturbing sediment.

StarStarStarStar

Fermentation Tank

StarStarStarStar

A vessel used for fermenting various products. It's important for maintaining the optimal environment for yeast or bacteria growth and activity.
