Funnels

There are many brewing accessories that homebrewers should have in their brewing station, and one of them is the simple funnel. Funnels are simple pipes with a wide conical mouth at the end. They are used to channel liquid and other substances into containers that have small openings. Without funnels, transferring liquids to a narrow-rimmed container is extremely difficult and will produce a lot of spillage and wastes.

Funnels are made from aluminum, stainless steel, plastic or glass. They are constructed from inert materials so that the surface of the funnel will not react to the wort which may affect the flavour of the beer.

Funnels for brewing beer are usually made of food-grade plastic and stainless steel. Unlike conventional kitchen funnels, brewing funnels usually feature wider and higher cones to accommodate larger volumes of liquid or grains. We also have funnels that are designed with an anti-splash feature to avoid spilling the precious liquid. When choosing a funnel for your brewing station, opt for funnels that have a wider cone to avoid spillage.

Plastic funnels may be very simple accessories but they are far from unnecessary. It is important that you get one for your brewing station. Here at Ontario Beer Kegs, we have a selection of food-grade plastic and stainless steel funnels of all sizes. We also have funnels that come with built-in strainers to separate the sediment from the liquid.
