For me, getting a refractometer was one of those upgrades that made a lot of difference.  With a refractometer you need a sample size of two drops.  I figured that this would pay for itself in beer savings alone.  I also had just broken my hydrometer and came to the realization that hydrometers are made of breakable glass that can break! 🙂

12 Food Grade Silicone Airlock Grommets – $9.99 + free shipping

12 QRP PLASTIC LID AIRLOCK GROMMETS 1/16" Groove White Food Grade Silicone for fermenting in Mason Jars ~ Bulk Quantities Available

12 Silicone Grommets. BPA Free. Made from food grade silicone.  Insert into a 9/16″ hole.

More Info

From the product description, check product page for current description, price and availability:

Includes 12 White Silicone GROMMETS to fit any brand Mason jar plastic caps (1/16″ groove). The Grommet easily inserts into a 9/16″ lid hole (a 1/2″ hole may be too tight and a 5/8″ hole may cause a loose fit for the grommet). The Grommet center hole is 3/8″ and is the standard size for Fermentation Airlocks. PLEASE DO NOT ORDER FOR GLASS LIDS ~ THE 1/16″ GROOVE IS TOO NARROW FOR GLASS LIDS. ALL QRP products are USDA Food Grade BPA-free Compliant and are produced by a reputable food container manufacturer. 2019 Quality Reliable Products, All Rights Reserved.


 

Use to add an airlock port to a container of your choosing.  I know of several grommet offerings, most don’t claim to be food grade.  That’s probably not a big deal considering that most of the time this gets little to no contact with your beer.  Having said that, it’s nice to have a food grade option.

Color changing, rechargeable silica gel beads.  These are similar in function to the beads in the Eva Dry E-500 – Hands on Review.  You could place these in your kegerator or fermentation chamber to help control moisture.  When they change color follow directions to recharge.

Compared to the amount of beads in something like an Eva Dry 500, I would consider 2 lbs… a lot.
