what's your favourite piece of homebrew equipment

[tipp brewer]

Hi, just wondering what people s favourite pieces of equipment are and if you had a wish list what would you get. We ve no garage or utility room so all my gear is in the bedroom, haven't figured out how to make it more romantic just yet so am at capacity when it comes to gear.

i recently got the reconditioned kegs but they re dormant until we ve more space.
a kegerator is definitely something i d love.
as for my favourite bit of gear, it s boring but i d say the mash tun as i m fairly new to all grain and can t see myself going back to anything else.

Great topic 
Kegerators really are the business whe you get the hang of them and its up and running. Everyone loves to pour their own pint and I love just giving my mates a glass and saying help yourself.
As far as home brewing gear goes its can be like choosing a favorite child. I made all my setup and am happy with it all. I really would recommend a refractometer and don't think i could go back to just a hydrometer.
I do live getting my bits and pieces and they quickly become my prize possession till something else comes along.

Of all the non essentials my auto syphon I think is the handiest. Makes transfer so much quicker and so much more hassle free.

Yeah but you dont get to "Sample" the first mouth full with an auto.

Was just going to say my auto siphon as well, though now that I'm starting to use pumps, they are rapidly taking over, having so many uses, expeccially for wort re-circulation. That said, I've managed to make some big messes with the pump, which has put quick disconnects next on the shopping list from aliExpress

As for my next toy, it's got to be some sort of 50L BK in stainless. BrewCon really got me thinking about safety and the 30L containers just aren't cutting it for me now.

Bottling wands are pretty handy, in lieu of an autosyphon.

But my favourite bit of kit is my beer engine. Just took delivery of a check valve for it, in order to upgrade my kegerator to a CASK-erator!

Whatever is easiest to clean, so probably a hydrometer

Brewpi, Chuggers and this guy
Crapity smacking expensive hobby

In order

• Fridge
• Refractometer

[David]

Have to go with Dempsey on this, the pint glass is absolutely vital. With out the glass it just wouldn't be worth it

[imark]

Kegerator, good false bottom, refractometer, pH meter, brewpi in that order

[pob]

BrewPi, AutoSyphon, Corny, Refractometer, Pint Glass

... & Phone (Help!, How did you say I was supposed to do that again?, What do I do next?, have you any ...)

STC and heat belt by far

My faithful old 3L jug. Never let me down yet for any brewing activities  centred around jug use.
