626 sourced equipment pages: vessels, tools, appliances and built structures.
A thermostat senses temperature and regulates heating or cooling to a chosen condition. It may be built into an appliance or supplied as a separate controller; a sensor reading describes its measured point, not every part of a batch.
A hydrometer floats in liquid and uses its weighted body's depth to indicate density. In brewing, readings track changing gravity, not every dissolved substance or kombucha alcohol.
A large, transparent, spherical borosilicate-glass vat designed for modern wine fermentation and maturation. The 220-litre Wineglobe model has a wide neck, fitted lid and support; its use and fittings vary by model.
Keiller-branded stoneware jars were commercial packages for Dundee marmalade. Collections show cylindrical forms with printed marks; sources distinguish the Dundee brand from documented Maling manufacture in Newcastle.
A marble-stoppered bottle is a glass carbonated-drink bottle sealed by a glass marble pressed against a rubber washer. Its Codd neck holds the marble at the mouth when sealed and gives it a side pinch after opening.
A late nineteenth-century stoneware bottle for ginger beer, represented by an Aberdeen museum object dated 1850–1899. It documents beverage packaging, not a fermentation vessel or a universal bottle design.
A Burton Union is a connected set of horizontal wooden beer casks, swan-neck pipes and shared troughs. Fermentation lifts yeast-rich foam into the trough; beer drains back to the casks, leaving yeast behind.
