This belongs on every homebrewer's kegerator! Just to let your friends know this isn't going to be some domestic swill. This is love in a glass baby, your homebrew creation.
Of course if you slap it on your car, your friends car, in your office, or wherever we certainly aren't going to complain. Just please keep it off road signs, police cars, and other public places where it could be traced back to us!
Your driving down the road reading other bumper stickers that say I love this and I love that. Do you know what we love? Saccharomyces. Lets just straight up tell this little fungi how we feel:
First we will lovingly match you with a wort that will bring out all your best qualities. We will adore how you eat and greedily consume what you excrete. We'll pamper you to death keeping you not too warm and not too cold. We will check on you in the morning, think about you during the day, and say hi when we get home. We love you Saccharomyces.
And yes, lets also confuse 95% of the people in the World yet bring a sly smile to those fellow brewers and beer lovers who know what's up.
Tell them what you would rather be doing! Of course you can put it on your car but this also seems perfect for your office door, cubicle wall, or actually... anywhere you are not homebrewing! Well on second thought, we do suggest against putting one on your headboard.

Bring the party with you! The BumperBar is the utlimate portable bar and cocktail companion. Here at MoreBeer! we obviously love our beer, but sometimes nothing jump starts a party like the ability to mix up a custom cocktail. Is it Mojito day? Bring your limes and mint. Are we doing Old Fashioneds? Pack the simple syrup, bitters and cherries. Wherever you choose to go, pack a BumperBar, and the party will flow. While the BumperBar was originally designed for tailgating and serving killer cocktails anywhere, it might be most useful right in your own house. Having an outdoor party? Set up a bar on your patio table. Have a killer game room but no permanent bar? Set up a BumperBar. During a party does everyone end up hanging out in your kitchen - oh yes you can - set up a BumperBar in the kitchen. The BumperBar was designed to be counter depth so, while it looks really nice on a tailgate, it will fit perfectly on any counter in your house. We've also seen the BumperBar used as a designated spot for pouring wine. Set up a few bottles in the liquor tray and leave all the wine glasses on the mat. Need to justify the BumperBar to someone? Tell them its also great for picnics, can be used for killer lemonade stands, and as a mocktail bar at kids parties. We could go on, but now we got you thinking. Made from rich Walnut with heavy duty hardware, the BumperBar is handsome and rugged. The rear liquour tray holds bottles up to 1.5L. The removable rubber mat and garnish tray can both be placed in the dishwasher for easy clean up. If you want to be super cool get the optional Wingman which includes an ice bucket, ice scoop, and cutting board. Nothing says "maaybeee I will have one" like cutting fresh limes. The BumperBar includes: Removable professional grade, rubber bar mat 4 compartment stainless cocktail garnish tray Bar caddy organizer 100 cocktail napkins 50 cocktail umbrellas 50 cocktail picks Wine/bottle opener Challenger coin (great as a napkin weight) Stainless cocktail stirrer
Every hero needs a sidekick! The Wingman lines right up with the BumperBar to make your portable bar system even more complete. The Wingman is the perfect BumperBar companion.

The Wingman will keep the drinks cold and garnished, while you take care of business! The Wingman includes: Ice bin Cutting board Aluminum ice scoop
Filter pad number 2 from Buon Vino for Polish Filtration. Fits the Buon Vino Mini Jet (FIL20). Requires one 3 pack to run the filter. Fine are approximately 2 microns.
For our FIL20 Buon Vino Mini Jet. Requires one 3 pack to run the filter.
When using the Buon Vino Mini Jet Filter with sterile pads the home winemaker will want to "pre-filter" the wine with polish pads (FIL16) if the volume is 5 gallons or more, or if the wine is particularly cloudy. The sterile filters clog too fast when there is any sediment present. Sterile filters are approximately .5 micron.
Buon Vino stoppers have a longer taper to help produce a better fit and a snug seal, and a lip which prevents them from falling into your container. Available with a 3/8 inch hole for an airlock, or solid with no hole.
#8-9 (medium) size is recommended for medium size barrels and 9 gallon demijohns.

Cacao Nibs are a great way to introduce rich chocolate flavor into any beer. Impress your friends with a unique tasting experience!
Cacao nibs (also referred to as cocoa nibs) are the key ingredient in chocolate. They are crushed and roasted seeds from the cacao plant. Tcho Nibs have a wonderful cocoa smell to them, and will provide a very subdued cocoa-like flavor to any beer.
You can use these cacao nibs like you would a dry hop, by adding the cacao nibs to your secondary fermenter or keg for a couple of weeks (4 ounces per 5 gallons is a great place to start), allowing the beer to draw out the subtle flavors and aromas of the cacao nibs. They can also be used in the boil or mash - wherever you would like to experiment with them. Adding the nibs pre-boil will impart some bitterness, so use a lot less than you would when adding them to a keg. Stone Brewing Company made a stout using cacao nibs in the boil to actually replace some of the hops in the recipe.
These super high quality TCHO cacao nibs go great with darker beers like porters and stouts, but could blend with any beer - perhaps a wit or a saison! TCHO is an American chocolate company in San Francisco, dedicated to producing high end chocolates.
Calcium chloride is usually used in place of Gypsum when sulfates are not desired. Calcium chloride will adjust your mash pH down. 1 gram in 1 gallon changes the salt levels by 72 ppm calcium, 127.5 ppm chloride and adds 180 ppm to the hardness.
This is food grade anhydrous Calcium Chloride.

Our Cali Mountain Pale Ale is inspired by one of the most iconic pale ales in the country: Sierra Nevada's Pale Ale. This pale ale is a fairly simple recipe, consisting of 2-Row malt, Crystal 60L, and four hop additions. This being said, don't be fooled. The flavors blend together perfectly, creating a complex yet easy to drink homebrew. The bittering hop additions are Magnum and Perle which provide a clean bitterness that balances the sweetness from the Crystal 60L malt perfectly. The aroma hop and dry hop additions are both Cascade, providing a citrus & floral aroma as fresh as the forests in California's mountains!

Liquid Malt Extract (LME) vs. Dried Malt Extract (DME)
MoreBeer! recipe kits are offered in both Liquid Malt Extract and Dry Malt Extract so that our customers can choose the format that best suits their needs and brewing style. LME is a viscous liquid, similar in consistency to maple syrup. In addition to being the more affordable option, many brewers find LME easier to handle than dry extract. DME is more condensed and comes in a powder format that is similar to baking flour. Although it’s a little more costly, DME is naturally lighter in color and stays fresher for longer. We highly recommend DME when brewing light colored beers.

When the winemaker from Vineco says this is her favorite wine we listened. We made the wine, featured in the video below, and we can attest that this is really great choice. Cabernet and Merlot is quite possibly the premier wine blend, pairing two of the most widely-grown grape varieties in the world. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot on their own are the foundation of countless remarkable wines produced in Bordeaux, France. Now staples in other major wine growing countries such as Italy, Chile, and the US, these grapes have also become rooted in such far-flung countries as South Africa, New Zealand, Israel, and on and on. The “Bordeaux Blend” combines the tannic, more acidic structure of Cabernet Sauvignon with the juicier, fruit-forward contribution from Merlot for a result that is greater than the sum of its parts. Our Californian Cabernet Merlot blend summons classic flavors of black currants and plums, accentuated by chocolate, spice, toasted notes, and medium oak character. A full-bodied blend with a sturdy alcohol content of 13.5% and decidedly dry finish. The Cab/Merlot blend includes medium toast American oak chips. Medium toast oak is the most popular toast level used in red wines as it imparts a complex balance of vanillin and spice. American oak is famous for providing classic oak aromas. The Vinceo Estate Cabernet Merlot pairs well with any evening occasion, and should be one of your go-to bottles for an important dinner or classy date night. Even though this blend can add a touch of refinement when served along a perfectly seared lamb chop, don’t be afraid to pour a tall glass while cozied up for a night of takeout pizza and show bingeing.

Californian Cabernet Sauvignon ages beautiful and will be a favorite for any red wine enthusiast This will be what you want on the table when steak is on the dinner menu Flavors of dark berry fruit, spice, and vanilla Full-bodied and dry, 14% ABV Whip up a batch in 30 mins or less! Yields 6 gallons (2 cases) of finished wine in 6-8 weeks Premium kit includes grape skins for an authentic wine making experience Bottle labels included for a professional finish The world’s superlative winemaking grape, Cabernet Sauvignon is capable of producing the most complex, well-balanced, and lasting red wines you’ll ever come across. As one of the most tannic grapes used in winemaking, Cabernet Sauvignon has long been misunderstood as a wine that required ageing in order for it to develop and soften. But after decades of research, growers have learned to identify when the grapes are ready to be harvested based on the tannic ripeness, rather than sugar content alone. Although these wines are ideal candidates for ageing—and will develop beautifully when laid down—it is well within reach for winemakers to produce excellent, structured Cabernet Sauvignons that are well-enjoyed while they’re still young. Descended from Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc, this relatively young grape is believed to have sprouted up from a chance crossing in the 17th century. Regardless, Cabernet Sauvignon is now the most widely planted wine grape in the world. From Bordeaux by way of California, Cabernet Sauvignon enjoys the same status and adoration in the grape growing regions of the Golden State as it does back home in France. The grapes grown in California tend to be more fruit-forward and delicate, with deep dark fruit notes of blueberry and blackberry and hints of mint and eucalyptus. Our California Cabernet Sauvignon displays layer upon layer of dark berry fruit with notes of spice and vanilla. A well structured red wine with plush tannins and a dry finish. This full-bodied red is heavy on the oak character, with a sturdy alcohol level of 14%. The Signature Series™ Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the most satisfying kits to make thanks to the inclusion of grape skins. You’ll mirror the professional vintner process of “punching the cap”, which makes your winemaking adventure even more hands on. VineCo’s jammy skin packs are much more expressive than dried grape skins, imparting more character from the grapes and boosting tannin structure in the finished wine. High quality American oak cubes are used in the final aging process of the California Cabernet kit. One of the reasons oak has always been used to age wine is the slow release of delicious, complex compounds that complement the wines flavor. Oak cubes have more depth of flavor than chips or powder and slowly release compounds like furfural (sweet, caramel like), lignins (vanillin, spice, smoke), and lactones (classic oak flavor). American oak in particular is known to deliver aromatic sweetness, vanillin, and an extra helping of classic oak flavor that some Californian Cabs are famous for. The VineCo Signature Cabernet Sauvignon is a must for any red wine lover. Add a few bottles to your cellar and revisit over the months and years to see just how much the wine can develop. If you want something to pair well with a char-grilled steak, look no further than this bold, assertive varietal.

Originating in the Burgundy region of France, in such famous appellations as Montrachet, Meursault, Poilly-Fuisse and Chablis, Chardonnay is now the most popular white wine style in the world. Chardonnay thrives in a wide range of soils and weather climates from France to Australia. Winemakers love Chardonnay because it produces such a wide range of complex, flavorful wines. From fruit forward and crisp, to lean and minerally, to hedonistic, rich, and oaky, no wine sparks as much stylistic debate as Chardonnay. California Chardonnay offers a full spectrum of expressions, as the grape is widely grown throughout the state from the warmer climate of the Central Valley to the cool, foggy hills near the Pacific coast. Traditionally, California Chardonnay is assumed to be full-bodied with a buttery texture and prominent oak character. But more modern approaches produce examples that have little to no oak character at all and can range from bright and fruity to soft and earthy. Our California Chardonnay has highly expressive tree fruit flavors of green apple, pear and apricot with no oak character. With an alcohol level of 12.5% this Chardonnay features a dry finish and medium body. The VineCo Original Chardonnay is the perfect everyday wine to unwind with after work. There is something calming about a glass of this shimmering gold liquid resting on your kitchen counter while you make dinner. Or pull a cork at the next weekend BBQ and share with friends.

California Common beer is a unique tasting recipe that typically utilizes Northern Brewer hops. With subdued fruity flavors, good hop bite and medium maltiness, this beer still retains its unique qualities due to a famous liquid yeast strain that retains lager characteristics up to 65 degrees.

Liquid Malt Extract (LME) vs. Dried Malt Extract (DME)
MoreBeer! recipe kits are offered in both Liquid Malt Extract and Dry Malt Extract so that our customers can choose the format that best suits their needs and brewing style. LME is a viscous liquid, similar in consistency to maple syrup. In addition to being the more affordable option, many brewers find LME easier to handle than dry extract. DME is more condensed and comes in a powder format that is similar to baking flour. Although it’s a little more costly, DME is naturally lighter in color and stays fresher for longer. We highly recommend DME when brewing light colored beers.
This highly expressive white wine is renowned for its explosive aromatics that rocket out of the glass. Fruit-dominant notes of lychees, marmalade, passion fruit, roses, and grapefruit pith are so entrancing that Gewürztraminer is commonly mistaken to be sweet. In reality, this wine is usually off-dry and some of the best examples are distinctly dry. This pink- to red-skinned grape is not itself a unique variety, but rather an extraordinarily fragrant clone of Savagnin (also called Traminer) known as Savagnin Rosé or Gewürztraminer. The Traminer variety was named after the village of Tramin that resides in a German-speaking province in northern Italy. “Gewürz” is German for spice or seasoning, and serves as an appropriate prefix to a grape that is nothing if not potently aromatic.
Gewürztraminer has a relatively small foothold in the grape growing regions of California. With less than 2,000 acres of vines, it really comes down to a passionate handful of winemakers that keep Gewürz alive in the Golden State. It is mostly relegated to the cooler climates in the northern regions of Monterey, Sonoma, and Anderson Valley. The wine tends to follow the Alsace model, made to be either dry or off-dry, with some of the best examples being a decidedly dry wine with less than 1% residual sugar.
Our California Gewürztraminer has a floral character with pronounced notes of apricot and pineapple. An off-dry white wine with no oak presence, light-medium body, and an alcohol content of 12% by volume.
The Original Series Gewürztraminer is a fantastic daytime wine that can match any playful activity under the sun with its own sprightly energy. With a relatively restrained alcohol level, this wine is perfect to start off with in the afternoon and keep you perky into the evening. Excellent alongside a midday snack of dried fruit and soft cow’s milk cheeses.

Liebfraumilch is a semi-sweet style of white wine first produced in Germany, which is predominantly composed of Riesling, Silvaner, and Muller-Thurgau grapes. Literally translating to “milk of Our Blessed Lady'', the first iteration of this style is believed to have been made many centuries ago outside of Worms, Germany where the vineyards surround a Liebfraukirche or “Church of Our Blessed Lady”.
The VineCo Original Liebfraumilch Style is a delightfully off-dry white wine with light-medium body and flavors of citrus and peach. Refreshing and easily enjoyed glass after glass with an alcohol content of 11.5% by volume.

Merlot is extraordinary in its flexibility, able to be paired with many different grapes to create magnificent blends, but easily stands on its own in varietal wines. Sometimes mistaken for Cabernet Sauvignon in blind tastings, the two grapes are both descendents of Cabernet Franc and can display similar flavors and textures, although Merlot is known for being softer and less tannic. Aromas and flavors include blackberry, cassis, baked cherries, dark chocolate and mocha, among others. Merlot ranks as the second most-widely grown grape in the world, but reigns supreme in the Médoc district of Bordeaux. California-grown Merlot grapes produce what is known as “Warm-Climate Merlot”, which is the category that Merlot grown in Australia and Argentina also fall under. These grapes tend to be heavier on the fruit notes. Due to the lower tannin levels and softer finish, some vintners employ a longer oak-aging process to give the wine more structure. Our California Merlot is a full-bodied red characterized with flavors of chocolate, black cherry and tobacco. With an alcohol content of 13%, this wine has a dry chocolate finish with a medium oak character. Includes medium toast American oak chips. Medium toast oak is the most popular toast level used in red wines as it imparts a complex balance of vanillin and spice. American oak is famous for providing classic oak aromas. The VineCo Estate Merlot is not to be sequestered to the dinner table. This is a wine you want to pack up and take with you on a picnic. Enjoy with the sun overhead, a light breeze at your back, and a charcuterie board within arm’s reach. At supper time, you may find Merlot to be the perfect compliment to grilled beef burgers or a freshly chopped Caesar salad.
