Save on Hopzoil – liquid dry hopping!

hopzoil

Hopzoil starts with fresh, wet hops straight from the field at harvest time. Our unique process captures all of the aromatic and volatile oils of ripe hops through steam distillation—no chemicals, no solvents, just steam. The result is a pure and potent essential oil, which we then emulsify to make water soluble.

Choose from West Coast Fusion, Citrone, Majik Ahhroma, Saaz, Centennial, El Dorado, Cascade, Cashmere and Citrus Fruitbomb.

Hopzoil can be use for dry hopping, making hop water, making hard hop seltzer and more. Dip a toothpick in Hopzoil and add to a beer at serving to transform it.

Announcing: Lallemand Go-Ferm Sterol Flash Yeast Rehydration Nutrient

Lallemand | Go-Ferm Sterol Flash™ | Yeast Rehydration Nutrient

Lallemand | Go-Ferm Sterol Flash™ | Yeast Rehydration Nutrient

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

  • Improves fermentation kinetics and aroma production
  • Allows yeast to be rehydrated in cool water (60°F) without any loss of viability or vitality
  • Eliminates the need for acclimatization steps—rehydrated yeast can be added directly to juice or must after 15 minutes
  • Requires 50% less water than Go-Ferm™ or Go-Ferm Protect Evolution™
  • Non-clumping, instantly disperses in cool water

Go-Ferm Sterol Flash™ is a revolutionary new yeast rehydration nutrient that is fast, simple to use, and saves time, labor, and water without compromising on yeast viability and vitality. Derived from autolyzed yeast, Go-Ferm Sterol Flash™ provides optimized levels of micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) and extremely high levels of survival factors including sterols and unsaturated fatty acids.

Go-Ferm Sterol Flash™ has the highest bioavailability of sterols and is produced with a specific Lallemand micro agglomerated process, for instant dispersion during the rehydration step. When suspended in cool water, the high content of sterols are quickly released and integrated in the yeast membrane within 15 minutes. The high content of sterols reinforces the permeability and fluidity of the yeast membrane. Go-Ferm Sterol Flash™ increases yeast viability, yeast vitality, and optimizes wine yeast aroma precursors assimilation under any conditions in red, rose, and white wine fermentation. With Go-Ferm Sterol Flash™, no yeast acclimatization steps are required before inoculation in must. Go-Ferm Sterol Flash™ is a revolutionary yeast rehydration protector with instant dispersion in cool water for a more reliable alcoholic fermentation and wine yeast sensory impact.

Use:
Use at a rate of 1.25 g Go-Ferm Protect per 1 g of yeast.

A rough approximate of weight is 1 tsp = 3.2 grams. We highly recommend using a scale to weigh the product for an accurate dose. We do not recommend relying on these rough conversions for accurate dosage rates.

Announcing: Fermentis SafeAle F-2 Bottle Conditioning Yeast!

Fermentis | SafeAle™ F-2 Bottle Conditioning | Dry Beer Yeast | 25 g

Fermentis | SafeAle™ F-2 Bottle Conditioning | Dry Beer Yeast | 25 g

  • F-2 was specifically selected for secondary fermentation in bottle and in cask
  • Neutral aroma profile and high alcohol resistance make it perfect for refermentation bottle conditioning
  • Sticks well at the bottom of the bottles/casks
  • Fermentis active dry yeast offers reliability, ease-of-use, and consistency to home and professional beverage makers across the world

SafAle™ F-2 is specifically selected for secondary fermentation in bottle and in cask. This yeast assimilates very little maltotriose but assimilates basic sugars (glucose, fructose, saccharose, maltose) and is characterized by a neutral aroma profile respecting the base beer character. Its neutral aroma profile, high alcohol resistance and stickiness characteristics make it a perfect match for consistent re-fermentation in bottle and cask.

SafAle™ F-2 resists to high alcohol levels (>10% v/v) and allows brewers to obtain all the properties of refermentation such as:

  • Beer preservation thanks to oxygen trapping
  • Contribution in roundness and maturation aromas
  • Carbonation
  • Sticks well at the bottom of the bottles/casks and forms a nice haze when it is resuspended

Announcing: KegLand Low2 Keg Lid O-Rings – or – Low Cost Buna-N w/Similar Specs

KegLand Low 2 Keg Lid O Ring

KegLand Low2 Keg Lid O-Rings

From William’s Brewing

This silicone O ring fits all corny type oval keg lids, and provides a better oxygen barrier than standard O rings.

OR – Lots Cheaper AND Similar Permeability Characteristics

Keg Lid O-Rings - Food Safe Buna-NKeg Lid O-Rings – Food Safe Buna-N

Works on both ball lock and pin lock kegs: In most cases, Pin lock and ball lock cornelius style keg lids are interchangeable from a size perspective.  That means you can, generally speaking, put a pepsi/ball lock style (manual prv) lid on a coke/pin lock style (no manual prv) keg.  In my book, that’s a solid upgrade.

Announcing: Kegland Rotary Spray Head!

kegland spray head

KegLand Spray Head

More Info

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

Make cleaning your electric brewery easier with the Low Volume CIP Spray rotor. A low-flow spray head for low voltage pumps from 6w to 25w. The perfect spray head for 5 and 10 gallon vessels, including Mash & Boil with Pump and Brewzilla. The red cleaning unit features 1/2″ straight threads and attaches to the included 1/2″ hose barb with nut. Functions a bit like a keg washer – just turn it on and let it spin for 15 minutes or so with a suitable cleanser like Brewer’s Edge Cleanser or Kemphos 2001. Unlike simple rinsing, this unit really deep cleans the impossible to visually inspect interior plumbing of your brewery.

What makes it even more effective is you can turn the heat on your electric brewery up to say 160 degrees F, and the splashing cleanser will be more effective than at room temperature.

Clean your Brewzilla or Mash & Boil with Pump. If you have a Brewzilla, watch the video below for setup instructions.

If you have a Mash & Boil or Grainfather, you will also need to order 1′ of our item J46 Silicone Tubing, as this tighter tubing is needed to securely attach the Spray Rotor to the Mash & Boil or Grainfather Recirculation Arm.

Related: About CIP Spray Balls

CIP (Clean in Place) Spray Balls are generally used for vessels that are too large to move.  Since they’re too large to move you… clean them in place.  If you have a larger setup, you could incorporate these into your system or routine to help clean your vessels more easily.

Other possible homebrew applications: A CIP ball could be as part of a recirculating or sparging setup or as part of a keg or carboy cleaning setup. I use a (different model) rotary spray ball with my Mark II Keg and Carboy Cleaner.  See: Mark II Keg and Carboy Washer Mod – SS CIP Spray Ball. Make sure the components you use are compatible and rated for your intended application.  Contact manufacturer with questions about suitability or a specific application.  Always read and follow manufacturer directions.

Mason Jars For Homebrew Ingredient Storage, Yeast Starters and More

You can also use Mason jars along with your vacuum sealer’s accessory port with a compatible jar sealer to store grain.  Using my rule of thumb 1.25 lbs per liter, the half gallon size jars should hold around 2.36 lbs of grain and the quart jars should hold around 1.17 lbs of grain.  Mason jars are reusable, oxygen impermeable and you can easily see the contents.

My explanation of how this works…

When we carbonate a keg, pressure is being applied to the keg from the top, via the head space. Beer at the top carbonates first. That carbonation works it’s way down the keg. I’m sure there’s also some movement in the keg that helps to mix things up and distribute carbonation. But just sitting there, I think that mixing is a slow process. However it all works, practically speaking, the beer at the top carbonates more quickly compared to the beer at the bottom. This allows you to serve from the top accessing the more carbonated portion of the keg. It’s also a benefit for clarity because trub settles out heading downward. You can see this stratification in a glass carboy. As the beer starts to clear, the top clears first. I don’t think if this is exactly accurate, but I picture carbonation happening with the same sort of stratification until the beer reaches equilibrium and is equally carbonated throughout.

The ThermoPop 2 offers 1/10th digit display which is a massive improvement over the ThermoPop 1. It also features an auto-rotating backlit display and super fast 2-3 second response times and… it’s rated IP67 waterproof.

I would say that this bridges the gap between the Classic Thermapen and the Thermapen ONE – Review. In some ways it clearly exceeds the capabilities of the Classic Thermapen and at a much lower price.

Announcing: Hop Bong for BrewBuilt X-Series Uni Conical + Hop Bong Hands on Review!

BrewBuilt X-Series Uni Conical | Hop Bong Pressure Pack | Oxygen-Free Dry Hopping Kit

MoreBeer has made a version of Hop Bong available to work with it’s X1 series conical fermenters. The original FermZilla edition is also still available.

BrewBuilt X-Series Uni Conical | Hop Bong Pressure Pack | Oxygen-Free Dry Hopping Kit

More Info

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

Add dry hops without introducing oxygen to your fermenting or finished beer!
Load hops into the Hop Bong, fill it with CO2 via the ball lock cap, and pull the PRV to release oxygen
This is the perfect accessory to protect your finished beer from oxygen ingress when it’s still in the fermenter
6 oz capacity per “hop drop”—easily repeat the process if you just gotta have More!
Compatible with all BrewBuilt X-Series fermenters and any stainless conical with 1.5″ T.C. top port
The Hop Bong is a versatile pressurizable tri-clamp accessory that is perfect for purging oxygen from your dry hops before dropping them into your fermenter. Load up the Hop Bong, flush it with CO2, purge out oxygen with the handy PRV on top, then simply open the Butterfly Valve to inject your beer with a 6 oz payload of dry hops.

This kit is specifically adapted for use with the BrewBuilt X-Series conical fermenters and can be used with any stainless fermenter with 1.5″ tri-clamp top port. The 2″ T.C. Hop Bong attaches to a stainless 2″ butterfly valve that then connects to a 2″ x 1.5″ T.C. reducer. This allows the largest capacity Hop Bong to be used with any of the 1.5″ T.C. accessory ports on the BrewBuilt Conical’s lid.

Hop Pellet Capacity: 150–180g (5.2–6.3 oz)

Kit Includes:

2″ Hop Bong
Stainless Ball Lock Cap
Red PRV & PCO1881 Cap Combo
2″ BrewBuilt Butterfly Valve
2″ x 1.5″ Tri-Clamp Reducer
(3) 2″ Tri-Clamps
(3) 2″ T.C. Gaskets
Warning: Always depressurize your system COMPLETELY before removing fittings from your fermenter.

 

In my opinion, the fact that MoreBeer adapter the Hop Bong for use with X1 fermenters speaks to how well these work.

My explanation of how this works…

When we carbonate a keg, pressure is being applied to the keg from the top, via the head space. Beer at the top carbonates first. That carbonation works it’s way down the keg. I’m sure there’s also some movement in the keg that helps to mix things up and distribute carbonation. But just sitting there, I think that mixing is a slow process. However it all works, practically speaking, the beer at the top carbonates more quickly compared to the beer at the bottom. This allows you to serve from the top accessing the more carbonated portion of the keg. It’s also a benefit for clarity because trub settles out heading downward. You can see this stratification in a glass carboy. As the beer starts to clear, the top clears first. I don’t think if this is exactly accurate, but I picture carbonation happening with the same sort of stratification until the beer reaches equilibrium and is equally carbonated throughout.

Announcing: CombiBarb Ball Lock QDs!

Ball Lock Quick Disconnect (QD) | Beverage Out | Combibarb | Duotight Compatible | WilliamsWarn

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

The History of DuoTight Keg QD Options

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

After a good bit of time Kegland released a DuoTight option for Ball Lock Keg Users!
