If you're a new visitor, we'd like to mention a few things if you'll indulge us. Brewhardware.com has built a solid reputation for offering the best retrofit sight glass kits available to the homebrew market with a consistent high level of customer support both pre and post sale. In fact, we are so confident that our sight glass kits offer the best combination of price, function, and features compared to the competition that we’re happy to let you know what your alternatives are. We feel a great sense of pride reading through all the positive reviews of our products and service both on this site and homebrewer forums.

We have primarily focused on hardware for measurements during and after brew day such as refractometers, level indicators (sight glasses), and temperature/thermometers. Accessories offered including bits required for installing our products as well as custom made brushes for cleaning. We aquired a viny cutting machine to have more control over the sight glass calibration numbers and have extended its utility by also offering calibration decals for carboys and other fun vinyl stickers.

2/14/12 - Quick note. Ordering a sight glass cleaning brush will delay your order for a few days. We're waiting for the next lot to arrive.

2/11/12 - Just like everyone else, we've sold out of Camlock Type F's pretty quickly. Should have more next week. Most of the newer items we've added are featured at the bottom of this page. Most notably, we've packed thousands of feet of silicone tubing into our small inventory space. We agreed with our customers that selling camlocks and hose barbs is silly without offering the tubing to go with it.

1/17/12 - We're finally getting closer to normal shipping turnarounds but at the same time got caught with a few items being out of stock. Those affected have been notified and we'll be fully stocked very soon on mostly everything. New stuff? Plenty... because we're crazy like that. Heat shields are available in limited supply. We also have stainless Dip Tubes in a full 5/8" outside diameter for no-restriction flow. Lastly, we've just introduced a new adjustable height mash return tube for recirculating systems and sparging (also available in weldless).

Model: Silicone - $2.39 /ft + Discounts for longer lengths

BrewHardware.com recommends silicone tubing for all your fluid transfer needs. This extremely flexible tubing is FDA rated for food contact up to 400F and doesn't melt until 500F. It The inside diameter is 1/2" and the wall thickness is 1/8" for a total OD of 3/4". When doing price comparisons, be sure to look at 1/8" wall thickness tubing as it is much less prone to kinking when full of liquid. While not 100% clear, you can see liquids and air bubbles to know if your drain operation is done or if your pump is cavitating. Flexible enough to fit over 1/2, 5/8, or even 3/4" hose barbs (or over 1/2" NPT threads).

Why not use the clear reinforced PVC from Lowes? Go ahead and hack off a 2" piece and steep it in some boiling water. Let the water cool and give it a taste.

Model: Shield   $various

While not all burner setups absolutely require a heat shield for sight glass kits or ball valves, they certainly can't hurt. If you've noticed the vinyl wraps on your ball valves bubbling or burning off, it's an indication that heat shielding any kettle accessories would be a good idea for their longevity. Testing has shown that this simple snap on shield can reduce the fitting temp by 100F.

Model: MashTube - $18.99 +

We spent way too long trying to come up with a clever name for this thing. Mash Tube, Any Height Recirulation Port, Sparge Height Thingy. A lot of people use a piece of hose or copper tubing on the inside of their mash tun recirculation (or sparge) port but it's not as cool as this. This assembly is made from parts from "Loc-Line". You can adjust the output from the same height as the port all the way down to 12" below the port to adjust for five or ten gallon batches of varying grain bills. It's a exponentially easier to use than laying a hose on top of the grain.
