Announcing: Fermentis SafeAle F-2 Bottle Conditioning Yeast!

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

See product page for usage instructions

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-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

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.

Hands on Review: BrewZilla Gen 4 All Grain Brewing System

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.

FLOTit 2.0 with UNI dip tube - No Beer Left Behind Floating Dip Tube with Double Filter Inlet (DFI) of 500/300 micron for always clear beer, less beer waste and no clogging.

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

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.

Integrated pressure gauge can be swapped out with a digital gauge or large face dial gauge for easier, more accurate readings
Adjustable black cap can be swapped out for color coded PRVs with a fixed pressure
Low-profile design only measures 1.75″ in height
This easy to use and compact pressure relief valve is super handy for keg transfers. Using a ball lock quick disconnect as the main body, the valve easily snaps onto ball lock keg posts. Adjustable relief valves are a great way to limit oxygen exposure and regulate flow during closed keg transfers, The included gauge reads from 0-30 PSI and can be swapped out with a digital gauge or large face dial gauge for easier, more accurate readings. The black pull ring cap on the other end can be rotated for adjustments, or swapped to a range of color coded PRVs for a fixed pressure.

This low-profile option only measures 1.75″ in height. It works right out of the box but has several upgrade options as shown in the images.

Warning: Never swap out the valve’s standard PRV with a color coded PRV that exceeds the pressure rating of your vessel.

Features:

Duotight fitting where the gauge attaches
This allows for upgrading the valve with a digital gauge or larger analog gauge
Manual pull ring pressure relief
This allows for you to not only adjust the pressure with the black rotary knob but also use the ring pull to instantly release pressure if you want to release manually
Option for several color coded PRVs to be used (see below)
Yellow – 17 psi
Red – 35 psi
Green – 65 psi
Gray – 100 psi
KegLand Part Number: KL29438

This is a gas side QD with an integrated PRV. This allows you to control pressure transfers.

It features an analog 0-30 PSI gauge, but it can be upgraded to a digital gauge.

Announcing: NY Cascade 023™ Hops! Citrus, Tropical, Floral | Ultra High Thiol

NY Cascade 023™ Hops | Citrus, Tropical, Floral | Ultra High Thiol | T-90 Hop Pellets
via MoreBeer

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

NY Cascade 023™ is a powerhouse of flavors for thiolized beers thanks to the special terroir of New York State
With a higher bound thiol precursor count than typical Cascade, 023™ has huge flavor and aroma potential when used in tandem with a thiolized yeast strain
Highly recommended for Mash Hopping. Maximize flavor and aromas while minimizing bitterness
When used with thiolized yeast, flavors are noted to be tropical, red berry, and melon
When not used with thiolized yeast, flavors are noted to be citrus, tropical, and floral

What is NY Cascade 023™?
Through research and development, the New York Hop Guild has discovered that our New York grown Cascade has a higher amount of bound precursor thiols than other hop thiol products on the market. Initially we thought this may have been a one-time occurrence, but through extensive testing we have discovered that the abundance of bound thiols is unique to the terroir of New York State! With up to three times more 3MH Precursors (Passionfruit/Grapefruit/Guava) than PNW Cascade, our 023™ branded Cascade is a powerhouse of flavors for thiolized beers. We highly recommend utilizing these TRUE90™ pellets in the mash with a thiolized yeast like Cosmic Punch® or Star Party™ from Omega Yeast.

What are Bound Thiols?

Bound thiols are a precursor compound that consists of a thiol (a class of aromatic compound) bound to glutathione, cysteine, and dipeptide intermediates.
The bound thiol content normally consists of a higher concentration of bound 3SH/3MH (Passionfruit/Grapefruit/Guava), than found in the free thiol content of many varieties of hops.

How Do You Unlock Bound Thiols?
Unlocking bound thiols requires a two-step process:

Mash Hopping!!! Everyone’s favorite blast from the past is back in style! Mash hopping employs an enzymatic process that breaks down glutathione bound thiols into cysteine bound thiols.
Utilizing a Thiolized Yeast! By Breaking down these precursors into cysteine bound thiols, this enables yeasts with IRC7 and PatB Enzymes to break down the bonds with cysteine, setting the thiols free and unlocking Cascade 023™’s immense amount of flavor!

What’re the Benefits?

By unleashing the power of bound thiols, our Cascade 023™ can give you a similar punch of flavor to that of propriety varieties with elevated free thiol content.
With the Mash Hopping technique you can dramatically increase your yield by minimizing hop additions in the Kettle and Whirlpool.
Cascade 023™’s enhanced bound thiol content allows you to maximize flavor and aromas while minimizing bitterness in your product.

Recommended Usage Rates?

We recommend as little as 0.50 lbs/bbl up to 2.5 lbs/bbl in the mash, though most brewers agree that 0.75-1.0 lbs/bbl is an excellent sweet spot!
For homebrewers, that’s roughly 0.25 oz/gallon up to 1.25 oz/gallon, with 0.4-0.5 oz/gallon being the sweet spot.
When calculating bitterness during the mash hopping, a good general guideline is about 30% of calculated IBUs from an equivalent by weight 60-minute kettle addition.

Hop Statistics:
Alpha Acids: 6.8%
Total Oils in mls per 100 grams dried: 1.0
Thiols ug/g: 26.2
