Blichmann Brewing Gloves

These are great! Normal gloves are too short and with gloves like this I can clean and sanitize without destroying my hands.

I agree with the previous post... These are full size and offer great protection. Even keep your hands cool if you have fix a stuck mash... doh! (fill the glove with water to get more digging time in your stuck mash)

Great for not getting your hands scalded. Also great to keep sitting in sanitizer for when you need them. A little pricey but, they seem like they will last a long time.

Not sure why I waited so long to get these.

I do Brew in a Bag and I'm a squeezer. These gloves are great for giving the bag a squeeze to some extra wort out.

Hops bags retain a lot of wort. To avoid losing that wort, you either have to squeeze the bag or let it drain for a while (and then still squeeze it). These gloves will help in squeezing the bag. But they aren't really thick enough, your hands will still hurt from the heat. I don't recommend them, I would instead get thicker gloves chemical/heat resistant for half the price at home depot.

These are great for a variety of tasks. Stuck spares, cleaning, sanitizing and lifting hoy pots. Also great in the kitchen.

At times you need to hold hot liquid filled grain or hops and these will do the job. They keep you from getting burned. Not too short, fit well.
Have a stuck mash? You need to reach in, these will protect you.

These gloves definitely are extremely durable and will not melt. I mainly use them when reaching into sanitizer or cleaning solution for bottles or equipment. They also work great for a quick grab of a hot surface. The only downside is, due to the thick and durable material, you lose some dexterity when trying to grab things.

I was slightly disappointed to see that the gloves are not Blichmann Engineering like the picture implies them to be. They are, instead, a different, generic manufacturer. I'm sure the gloves are pretty identical in terms of material and durability, but this was a bit misleading.

Nevertheless, I would still recommend them.

Editors Note: We had some gloves in the store that were not Blichmann, but those should not have been sent to you if you ordered these gloves. Please contact us if this is the case, and we will send you replacements.

I brew using Brew in a Bag, so I need gloves when handling the grain bag. I hold it while it drains, and I squeeze it. And 170F wort hurts, so these gloves come in handy. Regular dish washing gloves are too thin, these are thicker.
