Rahr White Wheat, crafted from North American soft winter white wheat, imparts a distinct sweet, malty flavor with a subtle fruity note. Its elevated protein content contributes to a fuller-bodied beer and can significantly enhance head formation and retention, depending on the overall grain bill. This particular white wheat malt is also favored for its ease of milling compared to red wheat, and its ability to promote the desirable haze often found in Belgian white beers. It's an excellent choice for brewers aiming to produce any wheat-style beer.

This easy to read book, is a great introduction to souring and wild fermenting your beer.
Explore the world of Lambics, Flanders, and the American variations of these styles like never before! These specialty beers depend upon fermentation by wild yeast and bacteria to give them their signature flavors. Jeff Sparrow has amassed a wealth of knowledge regarding these "non-traditional" beers and was able to put them into an easy-to-read book. This book covers the history of these beers, the breweries that made them famous, and gives an overview of wild yeasts and what to expect when attempting to use them in beer making. You even come away with recipes and techniques for cultivating your own wild yeasts to produce these sour beers.
Put down the mash paddle and grab an oar! Instead of fighting the overwhelming current of industry trends, let's ride these rapids and shred some wild water gnar! Hard Seltzer is here to stay thanks to popular brands like White Claw and Truly, and as a homebrewer you've probably already been asked by friends or family to whip up a batch. The truth is that hard seltzer is very simple to prepare, and any level brewer can make it at home. We've put together a simple kit that includes sugar, yeast, nutrients, and a packet of salts to adjust your water to a proper seltzer profile. Everything is included except for the water -- sorry, but have you ever looked into shipping water? It's stoopid expensive!

The new and improved Wild Water Hard Seltzer kit features retooled water modifier salt packets for increased fermentation performance. The previous single salt pack has been split into separate A and B salt packs, which we found significantly increased the buffering capacity to prevent the fermentation pH from dropping below the tolerance level of the yeast, leading to far fewer instances of stuck fermentation or not reaching the target final gravity.
Please note: each kit includes an extra packet of yeast and FermFed (DAP Free). Read the instructions carefully, and only use the extra packets if you experience a stuck fermentation.
Tip: to ensure your seltzer ferments all the way out, we recommend keeping the fermentation temperature above 70°F. Although it is unlikely to happen with the buffers included in the Water Modifier Salt Packets, a drop in pH below 3 can cause the fermentation to stop. Adding a few grams of chalk, baking soda, or potassium carbonate will bring the pH back up. This should only be done if you have measured the pH and found it is too low.

We offer wildflower honey from open spaces around the world. We have found it makes a terrific, complex, base-mead. We have found this to be a great basic honey for brewing , so much so that we use it in our ingredient kits that feature honey. Download the PDF Please note: Honey that gets cold often becomes crystalized but this has no detrimental effect on the overall quality. It can still be used in its crystalized form or returned to liquid by gently heating it back up in a warm water bath.

Ferment and serve from the same vessel—no need to transfer from fermenter to keg
Low profile design fits inside a standard kegerator which can be used for fermentation temperature control
Fermenting under pressure allows you to ferment with lager strains at higher temps while reducing esters
Made from stainless steel with conical bottom
Extra-large collection container for harvesting yeast or dumping sediment
The #1 reason we love the BrewKeg Unitanks is that they eliminate kegging day, which saves a bunch of time. The Brewkeg12.5™ is perfect for a 3-gallon batch, and with the low profile, it still fits in a standard kegerator, which can be used for fermentation, as well as serving. When fermentation is done, crank down the temp, remove the yeast/trub collection ball and start immediately drinking because the beer is already carbonated. Since this is not the standard brewing process, stop and think that over - you don't need a separate night or hours on a weekend morning to clean and keg. You are going to save 2 or more hours with every batch! Plus, you are skipping the most oxidative step in brewing of going from your fermenter to your keg. Yes, the one down side is that your fermenter is tied up as a keg but to many of us who really love brewing our own beer but are time challenged – the sacrifice is totally worth it.
Another great time saving feature is that you can skip wort cooling and 'hot pack' these kegs, literally filling them after boil at around 190°F. Stick them in your refrigerator, let them cool overnight, and pitch yeast the next day. Hot packing is gaining a lot of traction and we suggest you google the term to learn more. It’s been a standard practice in Australian homebrewing for years.
Okay, so there is not a lot out there about fermenting under pressure. We've been doing it for years now with a slew of pressurizable fermenters, including the BrewKeg, and if you want to make amazing lagers quickly you need to try it. Fermenting under pressure reduces esters and even beers fermented between 65-80°F have amazing German lager malt profiles. We once fermented a beer under pressure with WLP001 at room temp and all the tasters thought it was lager yeast. The pressure relief assembly, in the center of the lid, is the slickest out there and adjusts from no pressure up to 25 psi. Leave it open for no pressure fermentations of ales and IPA's where you want the esters. Close it down to make amazing lagers under pressure, quickly.
Features:
Made from stainless steel
Conical base
Extra-large, easy to remove sediment ball
25 psi working pressure & built in relief valve
40 psi maximum pressure rating
Ferments clean and clear beer from 64-82°F
Beer is carbonated perfectly at the end of fermentation
Beer ready to enjoy sooner
Compact design fits in most kegerators
Eliminates kegging
Easy to clean and sanitize
Dimensions:
Height: 25.9 in.
Diameter: 9.25 in.

Ferment, carbonate, and serve finished beer all in one vessel
Pressure ferment as high as 25 psi to reduce esters and produce clean lagers at ale fermentation temps
Extra-large draining sediment bottle allows you to drop out hop matter and yeast throughout your process
Avoid oxidation by skipping the kegging process entirely—simply hook up your draft system to the lid's ball lock posts!
So the first thing to understand is that this is a Unitank - you will be fermenting and serving from the same vessel. The lid has an adjustable pressure relief that you can set to different pressures. More on that later while we first talk about why we are so high on these...

The WilliamsWarn Keg Washer is a convenient option for cleaning and rinsing D-Style commercial Sanke kegs. No need to remove the spear from the keg—simply lock the keg washing into the keg as you would a tap coupler, then hook up water or cleaning solution to the 3/4" GHT inlet.
Simple and effective.
If you have a SodaStream CO2 cylinder then you can use this adapter to attach a CO2 regulator to it and avoid having to use those large 5 lb. CO2 tanks.
This adapter also has a side adjustment pin valve into the SodaStream bottle that enables the pin valve to be engaged once the cylinder, adaptor, and regulator have all been screwed together. This ensures that the gas supply from the bottle to the regulator can be engaged and disengaged while everything is screwed in place.
The adapter is incompatible with our Taprite brand regulators.

These 3 spout models have an internal float mechanism to keep the reservoir full. 3 individual nozzles allow for independent filling of bottles.
Wine Cap Puncher - This is an ideal puncher for smaller volume winemaking. Perfect for 20 gallon fermenters.
Our design features a sealed connection where juice cannot travel back up into the handle. We have seen similar models but always passed on selling them because the design had an opening where the 4 metal wires went back into the hollow handle. When juice inevitably did get back up into that space, the punch was done, you could never clean it. Height is 24". Base is 5 3/16" diameter

#8 agglomerated corks are slightly smaller than the standard #9 corks. They are often used with hand corkers that cannot compress the standard #9's, or for bottles with smaller necks. Agglomerated corks are made from small cork pieces held together with a food grade binder.
Corks are treated with a food grade wax and silicone coating before being packaged by the manufacturer. To use, corks may be dipped briefly in a sanitizer solution and then corked immediately. Do not soak or boil corks as this can remove the silicone coating, making them difficult to remove from the bottles.
