Help identifying some odd bits of kit

[fireworkmaster]

Hi all just picked up a mass of HB kit from a local guy ( i put an ask for demijohns on local wanted group ) he had an absolute load of bits and bobs yhat he gave me all sorts of gear including some I'm unsure about

Well that’s a goodly collection!

The first is just some rubber bungs used to make a good seal between your fermenter and the bubble trap (possibly).
The second is a syphon but maybe not one of the better ones.
The third I’m not altogether sure about but it looks like a sampling spear either for sacks of grain or cheese!
The fourth is a pH meter for testing the pH of your mash most likely.

The metal tube thingy I'm thinking could be a thermometer shield given the end unscrews.

The rubber seals where would I get similar they were on the top of the 2 fermentation bins
Cheers

Additives that were included circa best before 2012 dohhh unknown how they have been stored so bin I think ;(

Hanna PH meters are decent.

I wouldn’t bother trying to source the same type of rubber seals, just buy rubber bungs with pre-drilled holes and make the existing hole in your fermentation bin a little larger to suit.

The additives may be OK but if you are not sure then ditch them and eliminate a potential point of failure?

Ah that makes more sense cheers

Yeh no point in using major unknowns , still it gives me a list to work from when I chuck an order in for the missing bits to get cracking

The third one looks very much like it's part of a sight glass assembly, missing the glass/polycarbonate tube inside it.

I think that could be it, although this is what I was thinking.

Did a bit of research holy hell they are expensive

Hehe nope , if it was that long dang that would make you pucker up ...

Shake the wine yeast nutrient too see if it's turned into a solid block. If not, you can use it in your beer as it doesn't go off. Flog the citric acid on to Dutto as he wants some to mix with his vinegar to clean his RO plates. Chuck the rest.

I got a load of bits the other week. Loads of corks and additives still sealed but a BB date 2014.
I chucked the lot just not worth the risk. Those rubber bungs in photo 1 bin them, they are so cheap to buy new.
Enjoy your brewing
