Lotus™ is the latest experimental hop variety developed under the Hopsteiner breeding program to now be available to homebrewers. This tenacious hop outperformed thousands of brothers and sisters born of the initial cross breeding and survived a decade long journey to become the hottest addition to Hopsteiner's unique portfolio of exciting new hop varieties. Lotus™ displays exceptional aromatic characteristics, boasting waves of orange and vanilla followed by notes of candied grape and tropical fruit aromas.
Lotus’s genetic origin stems from Eastern Gold, a Japanese hop variety dating back to the 1930s, followed by a mix of Apollo, Cascade, and a USDA male. The USDA male was bred from an open pollinated seedling of a wild American hop developed at Wye College, England. The cross from the USDA male with Neomexicanus heritage adds an additional layer of complexity and uniqueness to this variety.

Another great invention coming out of Ss Brewtech, the Keg WaSsher! This is a hands free, clean in place keg washer that will make cleaning kegs one of the easiest steps of the brewing process. Gone are the days of disassembling your keg to clean it.
The cleaning process is pretty simple. Just take the keg lid off, attach the keg washer, attach both ball lock QDs, stick the whole thing upside down in a bucket full of sanitizer, turn on the pump and your keg is clean.
The Keg WaSsher is designed to fit in a standard 5 gallon bucket. It also only uses 2 gallons of cleaning solution resulting in less chemical waste and evironmental impact. If you want to get fancy, you can set up a wash station with 3 buckets to perform an initial cleaning, fresh water rinse, and sanitizer. All you have to do is lift the whole apparatus from one bucket to the next!
Features:
Hands free operation
Chemical resistant submersible pump
Attaches to common ball-lock Cornelius-style kegs w/ removable lids
Powerful CIP spray ball
Entire assembly fits in 5-gallon bucket
Cleans inside of keg and ports simultaneously
Easily attaches/detaches from kegs
Perform clean, rinse, and sanitize steps all with the same unit
We think our Counter Pressure Bottle Filler is the best on the market, and the Deluxe Counter Pressure Filler takes a proven design to the next level by adding a pressure gauge for monitoring bottle pressure and flared connections for easy cleaning.
The gauge on this counter pressure bottle filler allows you to know the pressure in your bottle, an incredibly handy feature. The flared connections allow for easy cleaning as you can connect on or disconnect your lines in a matter of seconds. Traditionally these lines can be difficult to sanitize because they were permanently connected with hose clamps.
Still has all the great feature of our original
All Stainless Construction (except for a brass backing on the pressure gauge)
A true Counter Pressure Filler (for less foaming)
Easy to use Stainless 3-way ball valve on top
Adjustable Stainless pressure release on side
Flushes bottle from the bottom not the top
What is a Counter Pressure Filler? If you currently carbonate and store your homebrew in kegs, you can use a counter pressure filler to bottle beer directly from your kegs. One huge advantage of this method is that since you are bottling already carbonated, clear beer, there will be no sediment at the bottom of your bottles.
Counter pressure filling is how a brewery bottles beer. The bottle is under pressure while the carbonated beer flows in. Because the interior of the bottle is pressurized there is minimal loss of the CO2 in solution. The opposite of filling under pressure is when you pour a beer into a pint glass where CO2 erupts out of solution creating all that foam. Great in your glass but not good when you are trying to bottle carbonated beer. Our counter pressure filler mimics a single filling head on a professional bottling line, a concept that we all know works very, very well.
Features While some models flush the bottle from the top and fill from the bottom, our unit features a special valve that allows CO2 and beer to flow down the same stainless tube, directly to the bottom of the bottle. First CO2 flows down into the bottom of the bottle to flush from the bottom up. Next you switch the valve position and beer flows down the same tube, filling from the bottom up. The result is a more effective purging of oxygen and no foam during the filling process - not to mention that the whole thing takes one-hand to operate! Why hope that you flushed your bottle properly using a type of beer gun, when you can know for sure that you have created the best environment for your beer to be stored at by using a Counter Pressure Bottle Filler?
More Details
The unit is inserted into the bottle in the off position. The valve is then turned to CO2 to flush the bottle and then to beer for filling. The adjustable pressure relief on the side of the unit allows you control the speed of fill by adjusting the pressure in the bottle. The valve is positioned in such a way that it is easy to use with one hand, while the other holds the bottle. This model is designed for 12oz bottles but can easily be extended to accommodate larger bottles, such as 22oz, with a small piece of 1/4" tubing.
Setting Your PSI Pressure
Before you counter pressure fill a bottle make sure you are satisfied with the carbonation level and flavor. The goal for counter pressure bottle filling is to store your beer in the most sanitary and clean environment possible so when you get ready to share your homebrew its presentation is perfect when you go to pour.
An ideal set point to set your PSI level on your regulator is 10-14 psi. This range is dependent upon the temperature of your beer and the carbonation level. We recommend you start at a lower pressure around 10psi for the first 2-3 bottles to make sure you get everything dialed in before committing to filling a whole case.
Make sure your keg is always kept cold. If your keg warms up you will have foaming issues.

ForgeFit® Blue Steel Brewery Tubing
The Ultimate Bromobutyl Performance for Professional Brewing
Elevate your cellar operations with ForgeFit® Blue Steel, the premium brewery hose engineered for brewers who refuse to compromise on flavor integrity and oxygen control. While many standard hoses rely on Chlorobutyl linings, Blue Steel is crafted from high-performance Bromobutyl—setting a new benchmark for durability, purity, and protection.
Why Bromobutyl? The "Blue Steel" Advantage
The choice of lining material is the difference between a good beer and a world-class one. Here is how our Bromobutyl lining outperforms the industry-standard Chlorobutyl:
1. Neutral Flavor Profile from Day One
Chlorobutyl hoses often require a rigorous "break-in" period or chemical soaks to remove lingering rubbery odors. Bromobutyl is inherently more inert and neutral. With Blue Steel, you get a clean, odor-free transfer immediately, protecting your beer from unwanted "off-flavors" or leachables.
2. Higher Temperature Resilience for CIP
Bromobutyl’s unique chemical structure allows it to withstand higher temperature spikes compared to standard Chlorobutyl. While common linings might soften or degrade over 200°F, Blue Steel is designed to handle continuous CIP cycles up to 225°F and intermittent steam sterilization up to 248°F.
3. Superior Oxygen Barrier
Beer’s greatest enemy is oxygen. Bromobutyl offers significantly lower gas permeability than both EPDM and Chlorobutyl. This creates a near-impenetrable wall against O2 ingress during transfer, ensuring your delicate aromatics and shelf life remain exactly as intended.

Perhaps your wort was too hot when you transferred from the kettle, or while cleaning you dropped the FermZilla against something sharp that punched a hole, or maybe it's just time to replace the tank after acquiring too many scratches from normal wear-and-tear. Whatever the reason, no need to go buy a whole new FermZilla! Just pick up one of these fresh replacement tanks and your conical fermenter will be good as new! Pressure Stress If you use the FermZilla to ferment under pressure, or you use CO2 to pressure transfer or force carbonate your finished beer, it is very important that you conduct semi-annual inspections of your tank. Even with perfect care, the FermZilla tank may show signs of wear from pressure stress over time. We recommend visually inspecting your tank for stress creases or other signs of wear once or twice a year. A hydro test should be conducted every two years, even if no signs of wear are found. The process is simple: Fill the tank to the brim with water Replace the Red PRV with a Green PRV rated to 4.5 BAR or higher Pressurize the tank to 4 BAR (58 psi) Check for leaks, then replace the Red PRV when finished If leaks or potential points of failure are found, replace the tank before you continue using pressure with your FermZilla. General Care Taking good care of your FermZilla begins with cleaning and sanitizing the unit before and after use. The tank is made from food-grade PET, which is beautifully clear, but can be sensitive to long soaks in cleaners and acid-based sanitizers. In general, we do not recommend leaving products like PBW or StarSan soaking in the tank for more than an hour. Extended soaks have the potential to degrade the PET material and shorten the lifespan of the tank. KegLand Part Number: KL15226 NOTE: FermZilla tanks are marked with a manufacturer’s “expiry date”. This does not indicate that the tank is bad after this date; it simply indicates that a hydro test may be in order. 2 years after production and every 2 years after first use, it is recommended that the tank be hydro tested to ensure the tank is holding pressure. Hydro test instructions are available here. You will also need the D1072 Green PRV to perform the test. If you do not plan to pressurize the fermenter, the test is not necessary.
The HI7041S electrolyte fill solution has been developed for Hanna's polarographic dissolved oxygen probes. Having the correct electrolyte solution is crucial to the performance of your dissolved oxygen probe.
Convenient dropper bottle
Made with reagent grade chemicals
HI7041S is designed to refill the electrolyte solution for polarographic dissolved oxygen probes. Polarographic sensor technology is based on the Ross and Clark polarographic measurement method. An oxygen probe is composed of a platinum electrode and a solid silver electrode. The HI7041S is a concentrated Potassium Chloride solution held in place over the electrode by a PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) membrane. With polarographic technology, an external voltage is applied to the platinum cathode, silver anode, electrolyte solution and gas-permeable membrane to establish a current that is proportional to the concentration of oxygen in a solution.

Made from winery quality Hungarian/Slavonian Oak
These Balazs Oak dominoes feature Medium level toast. Recommended for use during short term aging for 4-5 months. As a starting point use 1 oz per gallon. Taste after four months and add more if needed.
Balazs segments are made from Slavonian oak. Slavonian oak is grown in the area of Croatia that borders Hungary. While the area of Slavonia has changed hands many times, being under Hungarian control in the past, what has always remained constant is the quality of the oak grown in the region. Slavonian oak is beloved in Italy where it is widely used in the traditional and classic Italian wines of the Veneto, Tuscany and Piedmont. It is known for having the utmost respect for the fruit which is why Italian producers extensively use this oak. This makes this oak extremely useful for home winemakers who, because of the small quantities being made, need to pay special attention to not over oaking their wine.

Care and Use
pH meters usually start performing poorly because of problems with the probe. The two parts of the pH probe that cause problems are the glass sensing bulb and the reference junction.
Sensing Bulb
The glass bulb loses sensitivity with use and will eventually fail. This is true of all pH probes.
Reference Junction
The reference junction is a small hole that allows the meter to compare the sample to a reference. The reading is generated based on the electrical difference between the sample and reference. If the junction hole gets clogged, the pH electrode will no longer function.
You can extend the life of your pH electrode in the following ways.
Storage
To minimize clogging the pH probe needs to be kept hydrated. Long periods of dry storage will damage the sensitivity of the probe. Allowing the probe to dry out may also result in the junction hole getting clogged.
Storing in pH probe storage solution or pH calibration buffers will help address both these issues. Do not store in tap water and DI water. This will damage the sensitivity of the probe.
The best way to store the probe is with the probe's cap filled with storage solution or calibration buffer and the cap tightened to prevent leakage. It is also recommended that to store the electrode upright to further reduce the potential for leakage.
Cleaning and Maitenance
Residue from the sample can impact the sensitivity of the sensing bulb and clog the junction. This is especially true if the sample has a lot of organic material. We recommend regularly soaking your electrode in cleaning solution. Also:
Inspect the electotrode for damage or scratches, if present replace the electrode.
Inspect the cable. The connection cable and insulation must be intact.
Connectors should be clean and dry.
Rinse off salt deposits with water or DI water.
Calibration
The pH sensing bulbs become less sensitive over time so make sure that you are calibrating regularly to keep your PRO Plus pH meter accurate. Also, calibrate after cleaning or a long period of storage.

If you are looking for oak that produces flavors which are closer to true barrel quality, then these Stave Segments are just right for you. Less end-grain than traditional oak cube means a slower extraction time and a longer contact time, which will lead to a softer, more rounded mouthfeel. Many professional winemakers who have used these segments have said the flavors produced seemed more like those from regular staves in a barrel. The recommended ratio for 100% new barrel flavor is about .5 lb per 5 gallons of wine. Since the exraction is so slow, the minimum contact time is 16 weeks and they can be left on the wine for up to 18 months. Too large for carboys, please check out oak cubes or chips if using a carboy.
These chiller coil extensions extend the length of the Ss Brewtech FTSs chiller coil for 14 gallon and half barrel Chronical fermenters. Very useful if you brew partial batches and/or there is a cool ambient temperature forcing you to mostly heat your fermenter. Mounts under the lid to drop the coils further down. Made from 304 stainless steel and leak tested.
When you want to customize your own setup, it’s good to have the right fitting on hand.
This stainless steel compression fitting gives you the versatility to put your setup together in the way that works best for you.

This completely stainless, inline oxygenation system injects oxygen into your wort as it travels from your wort chiller to fermenter and allows you to read the temperature coming out of your wort chiller at the same time. It has a 3" Dial Stainless thermometer and a 2 micron diffusion stone. The inlets and outlets are 1/2" barb. The oxygen inlet is 3/8". It is the economical alternative to our completely sanitary, stainless oxygen system, PRO30.
How long should I apply oxygen while transferring to the fermenter? — We recommend you transfer half of your wort to your fermenter before applying inline oxygen (O2) to your wort transfer. If you apply O2 the whole time while transferring you are wasting O2.
Are you ready for unbelievably rich and flavorful coffee? The french press (or "cafetiere" in the UK, and "plunger" in Australia) is considered by many to provide the quintessential coffee drinking experience.
Because the water is always in direct contact with the coffee grounds, essential oils and flavor compounds normally left behind in the paper filter remain in the coffee. After pushing down the stainless steel plunger/screen, you are left with an incredibly robust, remarkably flavorful, and richly aromatic cup of coffee.
We recommend using a courser grind setting for your beans so that the screen is able to remove the majority of coffee solids.
Features a polypropylene handle, with borosilicate glass and a stainless plunging/filtering system. It has a domed lid to seal in the aroma and maintain temperature. 8-cup french presses are ideal for serving 2-4 people. As with all of our french presses, it is completely dishwasher safe.

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.
