Announcing: BrewZilla Gen 4!

Gen 4 BrewZilla!

More Info

From the product description, check product page for current description, price and availability:

The BrewZilla previously called Robobrew all grain brewing systems are the ultimate value all in one electric brewing devices. They utilize a single vessel so they are ideal for homebrewers with limited space or looking to downsize from a larger 3 vessel system. Available in different sizes & configurations you can select the BrewZilla that best fits your brewing application. Also be sure to check out the DigiBoil & DigiMash systems, they do not have some of the features like automated step mashing and built in pump. But the lower cost makes them great units for first time all-grain brewers or someone looking to add an electric HLT or MT to your existing setup.


 

MoreBeer has announced the availability of Gen 4 BrewZilla systems. As of this posting they’re accepting pre-orders. Order now to get in on the first shipment.

Announcing: Oak Aging for Spirits at William’s Brewing

All spirits when they come out of the still are clear, and some like Vodka and Gin stay that way. However, if you want authentic Bourbon Whiskey, Dark Rum or Tequilla, you must age the spirit in contact with toasted or burnt wood for 3 months to a year or longer.

As an alternative to barrels that cost hundreds of dollars, we sell toasted and charred woods that impart authentic barrel aged flavor to your spirit in a glass jar, with the added benefit of accelerating aging, as their is more wood surface in contact with the spirit than when in a traditional 55 gallon barrel.


This can be used with store bought spirits or your own.

Announcing: Moonraker Brewing Company’s Space Nectar Hazy IPA – THE Recipe, Direct from the Brewer

Moonraker Brewing Companys Space Nectar Hazy IPA

Moonraker Brewing Companys Space Nectar Hazy IPA via MoreBeer


From the recipe description, check product page for current description, price and availability:

When galaxies collide, stars and planets alike are ripped apart with all types of matter being flung hither and yon. Luminescent particles are scattered to the ether, condemned to wander the void or bound to coalesce into new celestial bodies. Some believe that amongst the chaos of colliding fragments, a mythical form of cosmic dust condenses into Space Nectar—matter so delicious that our Terra-bound taste buds would surely find it incomprehensible. Physics be damned, Moonraker Brewing Company’s extraordinary Hazy IPA is the best estimation of what it may be like to take in this heavenly ambrosia. Space Nectar overflows with flavors of peach, apricot and orange sherbet. Over half of the hop bill is comprised of Cryo Hops® which lend a clean, pungent aroma to this absolute juice bomb. A healthy helping of pale wheat malt and flaked wheat provide the perfect amount of fuzz to complement the bright notes of stone fruit.

Moonraker’s head brewer, Brad Johnson, recommends cooling the wort to 170°F before adding the whirlpool addition to really make those hops pop. Ferment with Imperial Juice A38 or similar strain to add the ideal finishing touch.


  • Shipping is free with a qualifying $59 order to many US addresses.
  • Easy Filler Item….  If you’re looking for a filler item to help you qualify for free shipping, consider grabbing some PBW

Note that this is a Brewmaster Series Recipe Kit – The recipe is a direct collaboration with the brewer.

Announcing: Valuebrew Swing Top Caps and Adapter – Convert Standard Growlers to Swing-Top Growlers

Swing Top Growler Cap & Adapter

Swing Top Growler Cap & Adapter from Valuebrew

These convert standard standard screw top growlers to a swing top closure. They are easy enough to install and uninstall that you can move them from growler to growler

These are an easy upgrade to standard growlers that generally seal better and look better. Very nice for when you’re locked into using a certain growler for a refill or to dress up cheap glass growlers.

Check out my Hands on Review!

This is really a re-announcement. These were available a few years back under the ToteGlass brand. They were very popular. They typically sold out in short order each time I posted that a batch was available. They became unavailable months ago. According to the product page, Valuebrew has worked with the manufacturer to re-introduce them!

Quantity discounts are available. Valuebrew also offers replacement gaskets.

Announcing: Kegland DuoTight Ball Lock Disconnects w/Flow Control!

Kegland’s DuoTight Fittings are designed to work with EVABarrier Double Wall Tubing.  They offer quick, reliable connections, easy implementation, a variety of fitting options and feature amazing versatility.  They’re also, generally speaking, very well priced.  DuoTights are push to connect fittings and require no tubing clamps.

DuoTights are… awesome.  Check out my extensive Hands on Review

When DuoTights first came out, the solution for connecting kegs to EVABarrier was using an MFL QD + DuoTight Flare fitting. That worked just fine and is still the only option available to pin lock keg users.

A while back native DuoTight Ball Lock QDs were introduced. Those are outstanding. Check out My Review

I’m excited to announce another Kegland innovation.  DuoTight Ball Lock QDs + Flow Control!

These will allow DuoTight and EVABarrier users to easily dial in resistance without long lengths of tubing.

Announcing: KOMOS Corny Keg Dip Tube O-Rings

MoreBeer has just released KOMOS branded dip tube o-rings. These are compatible with all standard homebrew kegs, both ball lock and pin lock.

The product description doesn’t say what these are made of. My presumption is Buna-N based on the color, but that’s only a guess.

It’s worth noting, that at $3.99 for 10…  You can actually get arguably superior EPDM dip tube orings for less if you pick the 25 pack). And even less if you place a larger order, see sale details below.

Announcing: Kegland RAPT Temperature Controlled Fermentation Chamber

 

homebrew fermentation chamber

RAPT Temperature Controlled Fermentation Chamber

More Info

From the product description, check product page for current description, price and availability:

Finally, a purpose-built fermentation chamber! Homebrewers have been repurposing refrigerators for fermentation temperature control since as far back as we can remember—and with good reason. These appliances provide excellent insulation from outside temperatures, are usually large enough to fit a typical fermenter used for 5-gallon batches, and provide incredibly even temperature distribution compared to immersed cooling coils. But to call the RAPT a refrigerator made for brewers would be doing this unit a huge disservice. KegLand has engineered a fermentation chamber that cools, heats, and automatically guides your beer through your very own programmed fermentation profiles which can be monitored and controlled remotely via WiFi or Bluetooth.

Virtually any homemade product can be greatly improved with perfect temperature control. The RAPT Fermentation Chamber gives you an electrically efficient means of setting, monitoring and controlling temperature which is perfect for beer making, wine making, salami making, leavening bread, fermenting yogurt, kombucha, kimchi, sauerkraut, making cheers, spirit washes, germinating seeds, growing sprouts, and much, much more. Accurate temp control is one of the most crucial factors to getting reliable and repeatable results.

The RAPT’s control panel comes complete with an integrated color TFT screen. The 4-button color display conveniently shows a log of historic temperature graphs, allows you to start/set/stop temperature profiles, and gives you access to other critical information for that particular fermentation. An integrated secondary regulator can be used to regulate gas into the fridge with the Duotight In-Line Regulator on one side, and on the other you can install an integrated BlowTie 2 Spunding Valve to regulate residual pressure in your fermenter.

For more accurate readings of the core temperature of your fermenter, we highly recommend using a thermowell and the 6.5 ft. probe extension. If you’re using a FermZilla, check out this thermowell with Duotight bulkhead.

Perfect as a Kegerator too!
This multipurpose fridge can also be used as a kegerator. In particularly cold climates where the ambient temp is below zero, this fridge can warm your kegs and prevent them from freezing. This fridge also has a higher keg storage capacity than a conventional kegerator that takes up the same footprint. This unit can hold 4 x 5-gallon kegs on the floor and has enough headroom that you can also fit another layer of 2.5-gallon half size kegs above. To fit beer taps you can drill your own holes through the door.

What is RAPT?
RAPT is a dedicated Internet of Things (IOT) Hub for fermentation logging and control. It’s a free service whereby any RAPT-enabled product can both log and store data to the hub where you can conveniently access it. The RAPT hub can also allow you to control your devices remotely giving you absolute control of the device irrespective of where you are. The RAPT portal enables you to make complex temperature profiles that involve different temperature settings over time meaning you can start/run a temp profile giving you a set and forget experience. The RAPT portal also controls the alert/notification process for you so you can receive email notifications in the off chance that something doesn’t go to plan.

Why Buy a Fridge Over a Glycol Chiller?
Although we’ve had great success controlling fermentation temps with an immersed cooling apparatus with a glycol chiller providing the cooling solution, these setups do present several potential issues:

Glycol chillers often require a very cold liquid to enter into a fermenter causing an excessively cold part in the fermenter core which leads to uneven temperature distribution.
Glycol chillers consume significant amounts of power and in most instances more than double what this fridge would consume.
Glycol chillers often result in spilling sticky glycol especially when hoses are connected and disconnected to the fermenter.
Glycol chillers generally require penetrations through the walls/lid of the fermenter making the fermenter less sanitary and requiring more cleaning.
Often fermenters are not made with sufficient insulation, so when using a glycol chiller much of the chilling is lost to the ambient environment. This is not only power inefficient but you can end up with a large temperature gradient. This temperature gradient can result in convection currents in the fermenter that make it difficult for yeast and other solids to settle out of suspension so clarification of the beer takes significantly longer.
Many glycol chillers and fermenter combinations do not have sufficient power or are not well enough insulated to cool to sub-freezing temperatures so cold crashing is not possible. This is a significant compromise to a temperature-controlled solution and also results in less ability to clarify the finished beer.
For these reasons KegLand has developed the world’s first dedicated RAPT-enabled fermentation chamber that can cool down to -2°C (28°F) and heat up to 50°C (122°F) even in hot and cold weather.

Announcing: Ghost Town Brewings Nose Goblin Imperial IPA Kits – Direct from the Brewer Recipe

Ghost Town Brewings Nose Goblin Imperial IPA homebrew recipeGhost Town Brewings Nose Goblin Imperial IPA via MoreBeer


From the recipe description, check product page for current description, price and availability:

Description
Nose Goblin from Ghost Town Brewing in Oakland, CA is their infamous West Coast-style Imperial IPA with big honking notes of white grapes, melons, berries, and uncouth levels of dankness. This dangerously smooth double IPA is all about the hops with very little malt character. Almost exclusively comprised of Pilsner with just a dash if acidulated malt, Nose Goblin is a beautiful clear straw color in the glass. Your nose if free to pick up all of the incredible flavor and aroma contributed from ample whirlpool and dry hop additions.

Ghost Town Brewing’s Nose Goblin took Gold at the 2021 Great American Beer Festival, besting 170 other beers submitted in the Imperial IPA category. Although Ghost Town will switch up the hops on every edition of Nose Goblin, this kit is modeled after the same recipe that took 1st at GABF, featuring additions of Nelson, Strata, and Mosaic® CRYO HOPS®
