PRESERVE FOOD FLAVOR AND FRESHNESS: Pet food is expensive. Don't let it go stale. Our pet food container uses Gamma Seal Technology, with a threaded locking system and double gaskets, for a controlled moisture balance to ensure food stays tasty.
SAY GOODBYE TO PESKY PESTS: In addition to locking in flavor and pet food smells, Gamma Seal Technology keeps ants and other pests out of this pet food storage container. Vittles Vault is perfect for storing birdseed, cat and dog kibble, goat feed, and more dry food.
FOOD-SAFE AND BPA-FREE: The Vittles Vault dog and cat food storage container is made from food-grade, durable, BPA-free HDPE plastic. While it is suitable for indoor and covered outdoor use, storing it in climate-controlled spaces is recommended.
STORAGE CAPACITY: The capacity of each Vittles Vault is based on kibble shape and density. Larger kibble (about the size of a dime) often requires a container one or two sizes larger than the weight of the pet food. When in doubt, round up to the next size.
GAMMA2: Vittles Vault is manufactured in the USA with quality and craftsmanship you can trust. Gamma2 constructs superior pet products through intelligent designs to enrich your pet's life and simplify yours.

The Vittles Vault line of containers are very popular for bulk grain storage. They have a large opening for easy access and have an airtight design.

How much grain can this hold? The 35 lb size is listed as having an 8.5 gallon capacity. My rule of thumb for unmilled grain storage is 5 lbs per gallon. At that rate, this would hold about 42.5 lbs of grain. That’s a rough estimate. Actual storage capacity will vary.

Ron Mexico Pale Ale Kits at MoreBeer

The next hot hop? This delicious Pale Ale is based on new experimental hop, HBC438, that has the unofficial name of Ron Mexico due to its native US neomexicanus hop heritage. This hop has enticing aromas of stone and tropical fruit, orange, mint, and herbal characteristics. Vinnie from Russian River Brewing (of Pliny fame) used this hop in an experimental beer brewed for the National Homebrewers Conference and also recently raved about this hop in a talk we attended.

The story of this hop is really unique. Traditionally hop breeders finish the testing of experimental hops internally and then release to the commercial market. Now they are turning the tables and trying something new! HBC 438 is being released EXCLUSIVELY to the Homebrewing community first. Then in the future, as more is grown, they will release it to commercial brewers. So the tables are flipped – Pro brewers will be reading your reviews and seeing what you thought of the hottest new hop.

What is also cool is that all proceeds from the sales of these hops go to ALS.net and help fund the ALS Therapy Development Institute, the world’s largest non-profit biotech focused entirely on ALS Research.

Our take on a Ron Mexico pale includes some acid malt and carapils for body, crystal 60 for color and richness, and Rahr Two-Row for a great malty bas

Hands on Review: Blichmann Engineering Riptide Brewing Pump Upgrade Kit – Upgrade Your March or Chugger Pump

July 7, 2024

This review is by Homebrew Finds Reader Benji S. Benji has been brewing for 10 years. His favorite style is Festbier. He’s an all grain brewer and member of WIZA (Whidbey Island Zymurgy Association). Check him out on Instagram at neon_hop

Tell anyone that you spend hours cleaning as part of a hobby, and you’ll probably get a few odd looks. Unfortunately this is our reality as Homebrewers. Planning, prepping, cleaning, and waiting take up large percentages of any given batch. We often chase new ingredients, techniques, equipment, and short cuts in an effort to reduce the time we spend on these areas. Sometimes introducing new equipment into your process can make some parts of these tasks easier, while introducing new steps to others.

Pumps help move around lots of liquid in a short amount of time, reducing the need to lift heavy kettles or pots. They also introduce some additional planning needed for connecting vessels in a loop of hosing and cleaning after use. This has essentially been the summary experience I’ve had with my Chugger X-Dry [Hands on Review]. In the never ending quest for reducing the time and effort needed to use it, I looked at what changes I could make to my setup to make using it even simpler.

Blichmann Engineering is well known for high quality and well designed equipment targeted at Homebrewers. It should be no surprise then that their Riptide pump is a fairly feature packed model compared to others on the market. Particularly their TC clamp attached pump head with built in flow control and priming valve. In recognition of their audience, Blichmann also produces an upgrade kit that offers these same features to anyone with a Chugger or March pump.

Upgrading my Chugger X-Dry with their kit seems like a perfect way to take a good pump and make it even better, hopefully shaving some steps off of the prep and cleaning process in the meantime.

Criteria

My original criteria when looking for a pump were largely satisfied by the Chugger X-Dry, but there were a couple of criteria that were lacking, namely:

Head assembly should be fairly easy to take apart to aid in cleaning]
Flow control valve for use when sparging
Easy and intuitive to prime and get started

As the Riptide conversion kit is meant to solve many of these things, it made a natural candidate for trying out an upgrade to see if I could improve the usability experience. Additionally, my experience with the X-Dry suggested it was fairly easy to get into a state where it was cavitating. My hope was that the purge valve would help alleviate, or solve, this issue.

Barebottle Brewing Companys Torcido Mexican Style Lager Kit – Straight from the Brewer Recipe! – from $19.99, Save 20%

Barebottle Brewing Companys Torcido Mexican Style Lager from MoreBeer:

The most compelling stories always have a twist. Barebottle’s award-winning Torcido is a Mexican pilsner with a German Helles twist. Combining these styles results in a light and refreshing lager that would make even M. Night Shyamalan do a double take. Originally developed by Barebottle brewer John “Magic” Montes, Torcido took gold in the 2019 Great American Beer Fest and in turn became the inaugural inductee into the Viking Malt Hall of Fame. Brewed with Viking Pilsner, flaked corn, a dash of Carahell®, and hopped with two additions of Crystal and Saaz.

Barebottle Brewing Company was born in San Francisco, CA with the idea that craft brewing shouldn’t adhere to the strict guidelines of established beer styles. Founded by a trio of friends and former classmates, they continue to pay homage to their homebrewing roots by printing a scaled down version of their recipe on every label. If you ever see one of their creations out in the wild, we highly recommend that your buy it, drink it, and then brew it!

Use this on brew day in your mash tun and brew kettle. In the mash tun… a whisk like this makes quick work of breaking up up doughballs. In the brew kettle… Use to incorporate extract, stir the brew kettle or start a kettle whirlpool.

More Info

Highlighted Features

SAVE SPACE AND PRESERVE FLAVOR: The stackable Vittles Vault saves space and keeps food fresher for longer. Our Gamma Seal Technology features a threaded locking system and double gaskets for controlled moisture balance, ensuring your pet's food stays tasty.
SAY GOODBYE TO PESKY PESTS: In addition to locking in flavor and pet food smells, Gamma Seal Technology keeps ants and other pests out of this pet food storage container. Vittles Vault is perfect for storing birdseed, cat and dog kibble, goat feed, and more dry food.
FOOD-SAFE AND BPA-FREE: The Vittles Vault dog and cat food storage container is made from food-grade, durable, BPA-free HDPE plastic. While it is suitable for indoor and covered outdoor use, storing it in climate-controlled spaces is recommended.
STORAGE CAPACITY: The capacity of each Vittles Vault is based on kibble shape and density. Larger kibble (about the size of a dime) often requires a container one or two sizes larger than the weight of the pet food. When in doubt, round up to the next size.
GAMMA2: Vittles Vault is manufactured in the USA with quality and craftsmanship you can trust. Gamma2 constructs superior pet products through intelligent designs to enrich your pet's life and simplify yours.

Pronounced dry character with tropical hop flavors of lemon, orange, grapefruit, passionfruit and mango
Includes a Mosaic®, Amarillo®, and Citra® hops
Estimated ABV: 6.8%
Estimated IBUs: 37
Makes 5 gallons of finished beer

Have you ever wished you could crush your enemies and consume their life force!? …. yeah *cough* nor have we. But the same can’t be said for the Juicy Brut! This maniacal monarch didn’t gain support for his claim to the throne through strategic wedding arrangements, nor did he bring his challengers to heel through deftly negotiated treaties. Oh, no. He conquered the realm using his dry, brutish nature and sheer force of juiciness. When the Juicy Brut enters the fray wielding his pulp-stained battle axe, he yawps but one maxim — no quarter!

Juicy Brut IPA has a pronounced dry character with almost no malt sweetness, setting the stage for the Mosaic®, Amarillo® and Citra® hops to be on full display. Leaning heavily on whirlpool and post fermentation additions, the tropical flavor of these hops come bursting forth with aromas of lemon, orange, grapefruit, passionfruit and mango. We can offer only one piece of advice. Bend the knee and swear fealty to the Juicy Brut!

This recipe was developed by our own award winning Brewmeister Vito Delucchi as he was researching and writing an Article on Brut IPAs for BYO (Brew Your Own Magazine). Curious about Brut IPAs? Vito also wrote an article for MoreBeer.com on the subject. You can check out that article here: There and Back Again, A Brut IPA Tale! Throw on your favorite traveling cloak and join Vito on his quest to unlock the mysteries of the amyloglucosidase enzyme and discover the best methods for brewing Brut IPAs.
