A quick and easy way to carbonate your beer!
Add one of these carbonation drops to each 12 oz beer bottle, or two drops to a 22 oz bottle, while you're bottling your beer. These pre-measured lozenge shaped drops give you an exact amount of glucose and sucrose in you beer bottle. These drops are prefered by some homebrewers for the consistent, predictable levels of carbonation that they can achieve. They dissolve quickly and are easy to use.
27% glucose and 73% Sucrose. 250 grams or .55 lb per bag. Approximately 80 drops per bag.
Super-Kleer K.C. is a two stage wine and beer clarifying kit. Contains two pre-mixed pouches of kieselsol and chitosan. The fining porocess works by creating both strong negative and strong positive charges in the wine, which allow for larger yeast clumping and faster clearing. Works great in wine kits, grape and fruit wines, and alcohol mashes. 65 mL (2.2 fl oz) packet.
Directions: Add kieselsol (packet D1) to carboy (5-6G/19-23L) of wine, etc. Gently stir. Dissolve chitosan (packet D2) in 1 fluid oz./30mL of warm water. Add and stir gently. Clears wine in 12-48 hours. May not clear pectin haze or products made with hard water.
Storage: This product is not freeze/thaw tolerant. Frozen products will crystallize if stored at temperatures below 0°C/32°F for any length of time. Products damaged in this way are no longer effective, and the damage is not reversable.

Liquid apple cider concentrate sized for batches from 1 gallon to over 1 bbl
Made from traditional UK Cider Apples grown in the unique terroir of the finest apple-growing region in the world
Simply dilute at a ratio of 6:1 water to concentrate for an estimated 5.2% ABV cider after fermentation
Made from traditional UK Cider Apples grown in the unique terroir of the finest apple-growing region in the world. Harvested from the adjoining British counties of Herefordshire and Worcestershire, apples grown in this region benefit from high quality soils, nearly year-round rainfall, and a mild maritime climate. Having been home to apple orchards for thousands of years, the climate of this area allows the apples to slowly mature, which produces fruit with excellent complexity and flavor balance.
Apple cider concentrate is produced by removing water from freshly pressed apple juice through evaporation while under vacuum. This process concentrates the natural sugars in the juice, making the resulting product easier to store for longer periods and less cumbersome when transporting.
Use:
We recommend diluting with 6 parts water to 1 part concentrate to reconstitute the original apple juice. This will leave you with a solution that is approximately 1.040 SG with an estimated alcohol content of 5.2% ABV after fermentation. The solution can be used as a flavor ingredient alongside fresh apple juice to impart high levels of tannin that will give your hard cider a wonderful mouthfeel, complex flavor, and great color and body.
0.5 Liter good for ~1 gallon
3 Liter good for ~5-6 gallons
5 Gallon good for ~35-38 gallons

This product replaces our TAN150 - Tannin Galalcool
Enological tannins offer the winemaker, cider maker, or mead maker the possibility to add refined, highly-bindable tannin at any stage during the process. Benefits can include increased structure and mouthfeel, color stabilization, stability, anti-oxidative qualities, and overall complexity. Tannins can reduce vegetal/herbaceous characteristics and perceived astringency. We offer four types of oenolgical tannins, two for use during fermentation, and two for use during the aging phase.
Protection & Improved Structure!
Designed for white/rose wine fermentations (including fruit wines, ciders, and mead), Scott'Tan FT Blanc Soft is a specially formulated, colorless tannin derived from Gall Nuts. When used at the beginning of the fermentation, FT Blanc Soft helps provide protection from oxidation so more of the wines delicate aromas and flavors are preserved. In addition, FT Blanc Soft's continual bonding going on throughout the fermentation improves mouthfeel and help significantly reduce or eliminate vegetal/herbaceous characters and bitterness. FT Blanc Soft imparts a perception of sweetness without contributing any sugars, along with a low-level, beneficial minerality. Note: FT Blanc Soft can also be used as an ageing tannin post-fermentation as well!
To Use
Add directly to the grapes at the crusher or to the juice/wine. Mix thoroughly to ensure homogenization.
Note: If using FT Blanc Soft as an aging tannin, final addition should be made 3-6 weeks before bottling to allow for complete polymerization and settling.
Recommended dosage rate: 0.2-0.6 g/gal (5-15 g/hL)
A rough approximate of weight is 1 tsp = 2.3 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.

3.4g per gallon adjusts acidity by +.1%. It will lower pH less than will tartaric acid. Malic acid is the acid found in apples and is therefore the best choice for adjusting ciders. Malic is less sour than tartaric acid and can also be used to make acid adjustments in Rieslings, Gewurztraminer, and Muscat varieties, though many winemakers still prefer to use tartaric acid in these situations. You would not want to add Malic acid to any wine that will undergo a malolactic fermentation. As a note: only half of the artificially added malic acid will convert to lactic acid during a malolactic fermentation.

Volclay KWK Krystal Klear Bentonite is a clay-like mineral with a negative charge that, similar to Sparkolloid, removes positively charged particles. It is most effective when the wine is at a warmer temperature, so we recommend using it for fining in late spring or early summer. It also works better at lower pH levels because proteins have a stronger positive charge in more acidic conditions. Generic Low-Level Fining for 5 Gallons: Blend 1/2 tsp (about 3g) of bentonite with 1/2 cup of hot water (140 to 200°F) in a blender for 1-2 minutes. Let the mixture sit for 60 minutes, then stir it well before adding it to the wine. Allow the wine to stand for 10-14 days before racking off. This method achieves a fining rate of 0.16g/L. Generic Mid-Level Fining: Follow the same steps as above but use 9 grams of bentonite and 3/4 cup of hot water. This method achieves a fining rate of 0.5g/L. More Scientific Approach: You can create a 5% bentonite stock solution and run bench trials to determine the lowest effective concentration for clearing the wine. Since fining is non-selective, it removes both undesirable particles like yeast and some desirable phenolic compounds. Therefore, it's best to use the lowest effective concentration. To make a 5% solution, dissolve 50 grams of bentonite in 850ml of hot water, mix thoroughly, and top up with water to a final volume of 1L. Set up trials with clear jars of equal volume, adding varying amounts of the solution to achieve addition rates between 0.3g/L and 2.0g/L. You’ll need to do some calculations to determine the right amount for your needs. Let the trials clear overnight. For more detailed technical information, consult BK653 - Monitoring the Winemaking Process from Grapes to Wine - Techniques & Concepts. Fining with Wine Kits: When using a wine kit made from concentrate, bentonite is typically added on the first day for a few reasons. It serves as a nucleation site for CO2 removal. The CO2 movement helps distribute the bentonite throughout the wine, allowing you to use less and achieve effective fining in a shorter time.

W15 was isolated in 1991 from high quality Muller Thurgau must originating in the vineyards at the Viticulture Research Station in Wadenswil, Switzerland. W15 was developed to ferment dry whites at moderate speeds where bright fruit and heavy mouthfeel are desired. This yeast does just that, and it does so while respecting the varietal characteristics of the fruit. W15 can also be used to ferment high quality, fruit focused, light red wines from Pinot Noir and cool-climate Syrah. Short lag pahse, moderate rate fermenter at temperature ranges between 50 to 81 degrees F. Alcohol tolerant to 16%. W15 produces higher levels of glycerol and succinic acid especially at higher fermentation temperatures (above 77 degrees F). Download the PDF Download the PDF

High quality, absolute rated .45 micron absolute filter with a hard caged body and gasketed ends. Thermally bonded end caps and ultrasonic welded media seams for a one piece construction. Absolute rated at 99.99% efficiency to remove bacteria for sterile filtering. Ideal for filtering white wine that has not completed a full malolactic fermentation. Filters meet FDA Title 21 regulations for beverage contact. Will work with our 10 inch cannister filter. What makes this filter really unique is the PES layer membrane with defined .45 micron hole size. This layer will not allow material to pass that is over .45 in size. This PES layer is also what makes this cartridge considerably more expensive than spun poly filters. Some cartridage filters are listed as being absolute but unless they have a PES layer they aren't. Wine to be filtered should already be very clear as this filter will load up quickly with material. It is a common practice to prefilter already settled wine with a 1 micron spun poly filter and then filter with this .45 micron absolute filter. Please note: these filters are not intended to be reusable.

For easy-to-drink Rhone style wines. This versatile strain is suitable for reds, roses and whites. In red wines, it contributes up front fruit to easy-to-drink Rhone style wines, often with a nice spicy quality if present in the fruit. ICV-GRE can also be effectively used with short skin contact regimes (3 to 5 days) to reduce vegetal and undesirable sulfur components in varietals like Merlot, Cabernet, Grenache and Syrah. In addition to bringing fresh, ripe fruit qualities, ICV-GRE also helps to enhance the mouthfeel of a wine. While it may not be a powerhouse in itself, this yeast truly excels at being able to keep a red wine blend from potentially becoming too heavy and pedestrian. When used in fruit focused whites like Chenin blanc, Riesling, and Viognier, ICV-GRE results in stable fresh fruit characteristics and delivers a big fore-mouth impact. Alcohol tolerant to 15%, best results from 59 to 82 degrees F. Download the PDF Download the PDF

cottzyme KS – High-Power Enzyme for Complex Pectin Breakdown in Red, White, and Problem Wines
Breaks down complex, highly esterified pectins that standard pectinases cannot
Enhances clarification, settling, and filterability in challenging juices and wines
Boosts juice and wine yield by improving extraction from thick-skinned or high-pectin fruit
Ideal for problem fermentations or hazy wines that resist fining and filtration
Performs well at low temperatures and in a broad pH range
Scottzyme KS is a specialized pectolytic enzyme designed to break down complex pectin structures found in high-pectin varietals and difficult ferments. While standard enzymes like PEC5L target simple soluble pectins, KS is formulated with enhanced side-chain cleaving activity that attacks esterified pectins and heavily branched structures. This makes it particularly effective on cultivars like Pinot Gris, Riesling, Gewürztraminer, Muscat, and in juice or wine where haze persists despite prior enzymatic treatment. KS improves clarification, tightens lees, increases press and wine yields, and boosts filtration efficiency—especially in wines that defy typical settling protocols.
Comparison to Scottzyme PEC5L:
Scottzyme PEC5L is a fast-acting general-purpose pectinase for typical clarification tasks, such as settling and flotation of white and rosé juices. It’s ideal for clean juice production from standard grapes and most fruit wines. In contrast, KS is the go-to choice when PEC5L isn’t enough—it’s stronger on stubborn, esterified pectins and delivers better results with problematic varieties or ferments that remain hazy even after PEC5L. While PEC5L is excellent for fast juice prep, KS excels in the most difficult cases, including post-fermentation haze and challenging press fractions.
Protocol
Dilute Scottzyme KS in 10 times its volume of chlorine-free water or juice. Add to must, juice, or wine and mix well. Suitable for use before or after fermentation. Do not add simultaneously with bentonite or high SO₂. Works effectively at 10–20°C.
Usage Rates
Recommended dosage: 1.5–4.0 mL per 1000 lb of fruit or 0.075–0.2 mL per gallon
= approximately 0.02–0.05 mL per liter
Use lower rates for moderate haze and extended contact time. Use higher rates in cold settling, high-pectin juices, or persistent post-fermentation hazes. Allow 4–24 hours of contact time depending on application.

Make the best possible sparkling cider with the Electric Apple Grinder and 40L Hydropress.
Bladder presses work by expanding a rubber bladder using household water pressure via a garden hose. Since the bladder is situated in the center of the press, the grapes/fruit are squeezed from the inside out in a uniform fashion even if the basket is only partially filled. This is a much more effective way of pressing fruit pulp as it allows a wider surface area for the juice to be extracted. Compared to traditional hydraulic top down presses, large amounts of streaming and blockages would be trapped within the bulk matter. The hydropress is also used on a mammoth scale in wineries as it is by far the most effective means of extraction without electrical power.
When pressing normal mains water pressure of 2.5 to 3 bar it will generate around 20 tonnes of pressing power. The pressure applied and the duration of pressing can be regulated simply by opening or closing the water tap.
High-Quality Material
This water-powered press is made of food-grade stainless steel, resistant to rust and corrosion, easy to wash, and wipe clean after use. With three stable steel legs. Best suited to be used outdoors where you can hose away any accidental spills of fruit and juice.
Electricity-Free:
Bladder presses use water to produce pressure for natural juice making, winemaking and cheese making. It’s energy-saving and space-saving. If the pressure gets too high, it will be released automatically, making this unit safe and easy to operate.
Important:
Keep the gray bladder out of direct sunlight for storage. A black garbage bag makes an excellent cover that will protect your gear for years to come.

Is there an upper limit on the alcohol content of the stored liquid?
In principle, there is not. However, it should be noted that the higher the alcohol content, the faster the seals and, to a lesser extent, the tank itself will wear out.
Up to what temperature can the containers be used?
For short periods of time the containers can withstand temperatures of up to 80°C (176°F). This temperature should not be exceeded. For longer periods of time the containers can be used at temperatures up to 60°C (140°F).
This product is a direct replacement for our FIN74 - Ichtyocolle.
Recommended for whites, roses and fruit wines, Cristaline Plus is a blend of isinglass (fish-derived protein) and citric acid stabilized with SO2. Cristaline Plus has a strong positive charge which makes it very effective at improving the clarity of a wine (even those that are made from botrytised grapes). As an added benefit, Cristaline Plus can help improve the filterability of a wine. Cristaline Plus is not sensitive to cold temperatures and may be slow to finish settling. The use of Gelocolle (FIN64) an hour after the addition of Cristaline Plus will help speed the settling process and create a more compact lees.
To Use: Dissolve Cristaline Plus in 150-200 times its weight (75-100 mL) of clean, warm water (59-68 F/15-20 C)
Let mixture swell for 3 hours
If the solution is too viscous add additional warm water
Add the solution quickly into the whole volume of wine to be treated while stirring and mix well to distribute the Cristaline Plus evenly throughout the wine
Rack as soon as the lees are well settled (wait 72 hours before filtering or allow 8-10 days settling before racking)
Dosage Range: 15-30ppm (mg/L)
