Gloves in the brewery

[kylesmi]

Im looking for sugestions on some gloves that will withstand boiling temps. Yesterday I had a mishap with some boiling wort and a stuck butterfly valve. Anyways dont want to get into the whole story but I have some really good blisters all over my right hand. Im just wondering what the rest of you guys are using out there? Thanks

Zep sells gloves that work well for everyday tasks. I would suggest a boot drier that can be used for the gloves, if they get wet inside.

Thanks

Thanks for the feedback. Was hoping to get some more specific types folks are using and some websites where I could purchase them.

I found some great "gauntlet-style" black-rubber gloves at my local hardware store. They come up to mid-forearm, thick rubber/cloth. Not great for small detail work but I can reach into boiling wort with no problem (as long as the wort doesn't fill the glove!!!). Hope this helps.

Yep, I like that kind of glove, too.

And a neat trick to keep gloves from smelling like old socks (which they do, fairly quickly!): I wore disposable surgical gloves (kinda like wearing socks, eh?) underneath the big gloves...

Pricey yes but are ordered by glove size give great dexterity and the added bonus of withstanding 5,000 volts.

Dont get any that are lined/flocked. When they get wet inside they hold the water and start smelling like bad feet!

Yep! As I said just above:

Old socks, bad feet, same smell!!!
