Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I use a straining bag for hops or grains?
Straining bags keep solids contained, making transfers cleaner and reducing sediment in your fermenter for clearer beer.
What’s the benefit of using a magnetic stir plate?
A magnetic stir plate helps oxygenate your wort or yeast starter, leading to stronger yeast growth and better fermentation performance.
Do I need an Erlenmeyer flask for homebrewing?
While not required, an Erlenmeyer flask provides a sterile, heat-resistant container ideal for yeast propagation and liquid transfers.
Can I reuse muslin or mesh bags?
Yes. Rinse thoroughly after each use, sanitize before reuse, and check for wear to ensure proper filtration.
Are stainless steel funnels better than plastic ones?
Yes. Stainless steel funnels resist staining and heat, last longer, and are easier to clean than plastic alternatives.
