Fast-Acting Clarifier: SilaFine quickly creates crystal-clear beer by removing yeast and haze-forming particles, delivering high-quality results in as little as 24 hours. Preserves Beer Foam: Unlike other fining agents, SilaFine targets only haze-forming particles and yeast, leaving foam-active proteins intact, ensuring a great beer head in every pour. Versatile Application: Effective both in finished beer and during the whirlpool stage, SilaFine offers flexibility for brewers, with different dosing options for quicker, compact sedimentation. Vegan-Friendly & Purity Compliant: Made from pure, natural silica sol, SilaFine is vegan-friendly and complies with the Reinheitsgebot German beer purity law. SilaFine is an easy-to-use, vegan friendly fining agent that quickly creates crystal clear beer by removing yeast and haze-forming particles. This highly effective clarifier will eliminate or greatly reduce the need for filtration without affecting flavor. SilaFine is a unique, negatively charged silica sol fining agent that binds with positively charged haze active proteins and polyphenols to create an electrostatic net that also drags down yeast cells. SilaFine does not target foam active head forming proteins, so the beer foam in glass is unaffected. Use: Add 10ml or 1 tbsp per 5 gallons of finished beer. Gently rouse the beer to fully disperse the clarifier. SilaFine will work to drop out yeast at fermentation temperatures, but for full effectiveness on haze-inducing particles, we recommend adding it to beer that has been chilled below 39°F. If the beer has not cleared after 24 hours, a second dose can be added. SilaFine should be stored cool, but do not freeze. Unitanks & Brites: If you are using a brite tank, SilaFine is best added to the beer stream inline when pumping from fermenter to brite. If you are using a Unitank and no brite tank, add to the top of the Unitank while rousing with CO2 for 5-10 minutes from the bottom. Or you can use a pump loop to recirculate the beer in a Unitank, instead of rousing with CO2. If added at ideal temperatures below 39°F, and well dispersed into the tank, clarification can take as little 8-12 hours. Otherwise clarification may take up to 48 hours. We advise against using more than the recommended amount, as overdosing can actually increase haze temporarily and cause a longer settling period.  Dosage Rate in Whirlpool: SilaFine can also be used in the whirlpool at a rate of 0.5-1ml per gallon to achieve a quicker and more compact sedimentation in the kettle.   Additional Notes: SilaFine is based on a special selection of commercial grade amorphous silicon dioxide, also known as silica sol, at a concentration of 30%. Silica sol is known by a few names in brewing including colloidal silica, acidified silicates, silicon dioxide, and silicic acid. Unlike some other silica sols, SilaFine is not treated with aluminum oxide. SilaFine is a pure mineral and complies with Reinheitsgebot German beer purity law. Do not freeze. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat.   The recommended shelf life is 12 months from the date the package is opened.   Allergen Free GMO Free

100% Natural Yeast Nutrient: FermFed DAP Free is a fully organic nutrient blend, derived from yeast autolysis, rich in amino acids, vitamins, and essential minerals like zinc and magnesium, ensuring optimal yeast health for successful fermentations. Organically Derived Nitrogen: Unlike traditional nutrient formulations containing inorganic diammonium phosphate (DAP), FermFed DAP Free provides organic nitrogen, reducing the risk of off-flavors and promoting a cleaner fermentation. Ideal for Hard Seltzer and Beer Fermentations: FermFed DAP Free is the preferred nutrient for hard seltzer fermentations and works well in beer, promoting healthy yeast activity even in high alcohol fermentations (up to 10% ABV). Comprehensive Yeast Protection: The blend includes sterols for alcohol and temperature resistance, mannoproteins to retain aromas, and essential B-vitamins, zinc, and magnesium to support yeast performance and prevent stuck fermentations. The ideal nutrient blend for beer fermentations, FermFed DAP Free is a 100% natural formulation derived from the autolysis of very specific yeast strains naturally high in free amino acids, sterols, mannoproteins, zinc, magnesium, and niacin, along with vitamins B1, B2, B5, B6, and B12 for a complete yeast health regimen. As the name suggests, this unique formulation does not contain the traditional inorganic diammonium phosphate, but does provide organically derived nitrogen. Help your yeast start fermentation on the right foot with FermFed DAP Free by CellarScience®. FermFed DAP Free vs Regular FermFed Regular FermFed contains DAP, diammonium phosphate, which is an inorganic nitrogen source. If you know your fermentation needs nitrogen, typically in non-malt fermentations such as wine, DAP is more readily processed by the yeast than the organic nitrogen found in FermFed DAP free. However, if the DAP is not processed by the yeast, and left behind in the beer, there is a higher risk of off flavors. At the suggested usage rates, FermFed DAP Free provides 30ppm of organic FAN, Free Available Nitrogen, while FermFed provides 38ppm of inorganic FAN. For Use in Hard Seltzer We have found that FermFed DAP Free is the preferred nutrient mix for Seltzer fermentations, with the organic nitrogen component being more than enough nitrogen to support a healthy fermentation. For high alcohol fermentations closer to 10% ABV, multiple additions of FermFed DAP free are required. How Much Do I Add and When? The general recommendation for most beer fermentations is to add 1.5 grams per gallon. Mix the nutrient in a small slurry of water and add to the fermentation prior to pitching yeast. How it Works The different components of FermFed DAP Free work in different ways to feed and protect your yeast. The complex and organic nitrogen in FermFed DAP Free helps eliminate excessive yeast growth in the initial phases helping to reduce fermentation heat spikes at the start of fermentation. Included sterols make the yeast membrane more resistant to alcohol and to high temperatures. The collection of B-vitamins along with zinc and magnesium are essential for enzymatic activity, alcohol tolerance, and yeast health. Mannoproteins help avoid the aromatic stripping during the fermentation by binding esters and terpenes and not allowing them to be driven off by CO2. The included yeast hull components act as receptors to bind up fatty acids that can accumulate and cause stuck fermentations. For a full yeast nutritional plan, use FermStart when rehydrating yeast.

Increases Fermenter Capacity: Reduces Krausen foam during fermentation, allowing more beer volume and minimizing the risk of messy blowouts. Improves Head Retention: Enhances head formation in finished beer by preserving foam-forming proteins that would otherwise be lost during fermentation. Food-Grade and Easy to Use: Made from food-grade silicone, Foam Axe safely breaks up foam with just a few drops, settling out before bottling or kegging. Stop boil overs in the kettle and limit foaming in your fermenter with CellarScience Foam Axe. This uniquely formulated anti-foaming agent reduces surface tension so bubbles are Axed before they can form. Foam Axe actually increases head formation in the finished beer by retaining foam forming proteins that would have normally blown off during fermentation. Use it in your boil kettle to prevent boil-overs for a cleaner, safer process. Then add Foam Axe to your fermenter to reduce Krausen, save beer, and increase the volume capacity of your fermenter. In the Kettle: Nobody likes a boil over as they are messy and take considerable time to clean up. Save time, beer, your burner or stove, (and possibly your relationship) by adding 1 drop per gallon of Foam Axe into your kettle and eliminate boil overs from your brew day!     In the Fermenter: Foam Axe works like magic in the fermenter. Just 2 drops per gallon at the start of fermentation will keep your airlock and blowoff clean. We recommend adding before pitching yeast and rousing well while you aerate your wort. Many commercial breweries use Foam Axe to increase fermenter capacity and homebrewers can do the same. Additional Notes: Foam Axe is made from food-grade silicone and works by breaking up foam particles and dispersing surface tension. Foam Axe settles out of beer prior to bottling or kegging. Store cool and in an environment below 90°F. Do not freeze. The recommended shelf life is 6 months from the date the package is opened.

Efficient Haze Reduction: Clearzyme targets haze-causing proteins in beer, ensuring a clear brew without affecting flavor, aroma, or head retention. Simplifies Brewing Process: Eliminates the need for cold crashing, saving time and energy by breaking down proteins at fermentation temperatures between 50-68°F. Gluten Reduction: Reduces gluten levels in beers made with barley and wheat to below 20ppm, making it suitable for gluten-sensitive consumers. Easy to Use: Just 1/4 tsp per 5 gallons added at the start of fermentation is all that's needed to achieve optimal results. Easily make clear beer by adding Clearzyme to your fermenter at the same time you pitch your yeast. This enzymatic solution targets and breaks down haze-inducing proteins so they cannot later bind with tannins to create beer haze. Clearzyme by CellarScience specifically targets haze-active proteins, so it has no negative effect on flavor, aroma, or head retention. One of the huge benefits of Clearzyme is that it removes the need to cold crash, saving time and energy. Use: Add 1/4 tsp per 5 gallons at the start of fermentation. Works best at a temperature range between 50-68°F and pH of 4-6. Additional Notes: Clearzyme is a protease, or proteolytic, enzyme that partially or totally hydrolyzes peptide bonds in protein. The resulting protein fractions are then too small to bond with the polyphenols in hops. It also breaks down the gluten protein that causes allergic reactions. Beers made with barley and wheat that have had Clearzyme added typically show gluten levels below 20ppm. Store at temperatures under 70°F. Immediately recap bottle after each use. The recommended shelf life is 12 months from the date the package is opened.

Enhanced Yeast Performance: FermStart provides a concentrated blend of micronutrients, including amino acids, sterols, and vitamins, which helps yeast transition quickly from dormant to active, ensuring a healthy and robust fermentation process. Faster Fermentation Start: By supplying readily assimilable nutrients, FermStart allows yeast to skip energy-consuming steps, promoting faster yeast cell multiplication and out-competing wild yeast, ensuring your selected yeast dominates the fermentation. Strong Cell Membrane Support: Sterols in FermStart help yeast cells maintain membrane elasticity, enhancing their ability to survive and perform well under tough fermentation conditions, ensuring consistent fermentation results. Antioxidant Protection: The inclusion of glutathione, a powerful antioxidant, helps protect yeast cells from oxidative damage during rehydration, improving yeast health and promoting a more stable and efficient fermentation process. If you’re rehydrating beer yeast, it’s quick and easy to ensure a perfect ferment by adding FermStart by CellarScience®.  FermStart is a concentrated micronutrient blend that helps yeast during the critical phase in which they transition from dried and dormant back into healthy and active.  FermStart is added to your rehydration water so that your yeast absorbs the nutrients as they absorb the water.  When gravities exceed 15° Plato or 1.060 starting gravity, it is recommended to rehydrate your yeast.  To ensure a perfect ferment that reaches its full flavor potential, rehydrate your yeast with FermStart. How Much? FermStart is a super concentrated formula, which is very convenient when you are rehydrating large amounts of yeast.  Use 1 gram of Fermstart for every 4 grams of yeast.  We offer some suggested ranges for the amount of water to use below.  Examples: 12g yeast - Add 3g FermStart to roughly 50ml of water 500g yeast - Add 125g FermStart to roughly 1500 ml of water The Science of How it Works FermStart is rich in readily assimilable amino acids, sterols, vitamins, and natural glutathione.  Readily assimilable means that the size of the molecules present in FermStart are extremely small and easily absorbed by the yeast cell. This is obtained by centrifuge and allows FermStart to be extremely concentrated and not contain filler. The availability of readily assimilable amino acids allows the yeast cell to skip the step in which amino acids would be synthesized within the cell. This saved energy is instead directed into multiplication. Faster yeast cell multiplication means a faster start allowing your yeast to out-compete wild yeast. Wild yeast have unknown flavors and fermentation behavior so it is important to give the yeast you selected the best chance to dominate the fermentation. Sterols help the cell membrane regain and maintain elasticity helping to ensure a perfect start and continued performance throughout the fermentation. The strong cell membrane helps ensure that the yeast can survive and complete alcoholic fermentation under tough conditions. Glutathione is a very special natural antioxidant and detoxifier made up of three amino acids cysteine, glutamate, and glycine.  It is extremely important for maintaining intracellular health by preventing damage to cellular components during the very oxidative process of rehydration.

Comprehensive Yeast Nutrition: FermFed provides a complex blend of essential nutrients like diammonium phosphate (DAP), thiamin, amino acids, sterols, and vitamins (B2, B5, B6, B12), supporting yeast health and optimizing fermentation. Prevents Off-Flavors: FermFed’s nitrogen content helps prevent the production of undesirable compounds like hydrogen sulfide (rotten eggs), ensuring cleaner and more desirable flavors during fermentation. Enhanced Fermentation Performance: Ingredients such as sterols and mannoproteins promote yeast cell strength and improve the retention of aromatic compounds, helping yeast finish fermentation smoothly while enhancing flavor retention. Versatile Application: Ideal for wine and non-malt fermentations with known nitrogen deficiencies, FermFed is also available in a DAP-free version suitable for malt-based fermentations with unknown nitrogen levels. FermFed is a complex nutrient blend of diammonium phosphate, thiamin, amino acids, sterols, pantothenic acid, mannoproteins, protective microelements derived from yeast hulls, and vitamins B2, B5, B6, & B12. FermFed also contains the organic and inorganic nitrogen (DAP) that yeast need. Help your yeast reach the end of fermentation safely while producing amazing flavors with FermFed by CellarScience®. FermFed is a great choice for wine and other non-malt based fermenations where there is a known nitrogen deficiency. For beer or other fermentations where nitrogen levels are unknown we recommend FermFed DAP Free. The organic nitrogen supplied in FermFed DAP Free is sufficient for all malt fermentations and poses less potential issues if not consumed by the yeast. Read more about FermFed DAP Free. How Much Do I Add and When? For most beer fermentations add 1 gram per gallon. Mix the nutrient in a small slurry of water and add to the wort just prior to pitching yeast. How it Works The different components of FermFed work in different ways to feed and protect your yeast. When yeast do not have enough nitrogen, they are more likely to produce hydrogen sulfide (rotten eggs). FermFed helps to eliminate this problem by providing enough nitrogen for most situations. As yeast divide and multiply they get weaker and might not be able to properly finish fermentation as the alcohol content rises. Feeding them sterols help cells maintain membrane fluidity so that the yeast can properly function. Mannoprotein molecules bind esters and terpenes and work as an anchor to keep them in solution so they are not driven off by CO2 during fermentation. Pantothenic acid is added to help reduce the production of hydrogen sulfide. Thiamine is important for yeast metabolism. Vitamins B2, B5, B6, & B12 are important for general yeast health. For a full yeast nutritional plan, use FermStart when rehydrating yeast.

Improves Mash Flow and Efficiency: Glucabuster breaks down glucans, arabinoxylan, and cellulose to prevent stuck mashes and slow runoff, ensuring smoother lautering and improved yield. Enhances Downstream Filtering: By breaking down polysaccharides, Glucabuster helps simplify filtering in later brewing stages, ensuring cleaner and faster processes. Effective Across a Wide Range of Temperatures and pH Levels: Works efficiently within a temperature range of 120-185°F and an ideal pH range of 4.7-7.0, making it versatile for various brewing conditions. Highly Concentrated and Easy to Use: With just 1/4 tsp needed per 5-gallon batch, Glucabuster offers a highly concentrated solution for improving mash flow and overall brewing efficiency. Glucabuster by CellarScience improves lautering and yield while making potential downstream filtering easier. Highly concentrated ß-glucanase breaks down glucans that can lead to stuck mashes and slow runoff. Xylanase and Cellulase break down the polysaccharide chains of arabinoxylan and cellulose. Together, all three enzymes help keep today’s challenging mashes flowing right. Use: Add 1/4 tsp per 5-gallon batch at mash-in. Glucabuster works in a range of 120-185°F and ideally at a pH range of 4.7-7.0. Additional Notes: Endosperm cell walls are made up of non-starch polysaccharides, of which, in barley, β-glucans account for 75% with arabinoxylan (pentosan) and cellulose accounting for most of the rest. In wheat, the arabinoxylan content is higher. Glucabuster is composed of the cell wall hydrolases β-glucanase, xylanase, and cellulase, which break down the β-14 bonds in these polysaccharides. These enzymes can be equally important to their more famous starch degradation enzymes, α-Amylase and β-Amylase.  Glucanase, xylanase, and cellulase are naturally found in malt but decrease during the kilning stage of malting. Depending on your recipe, adding these enzymes is important to assist with lautering and later with filtering. Refrigeration is recommended, but store at least below 70°F. The recommended shelf life is 12 months from the date the package is opened.

We will automatically ship this item to you when we receive more in late September. Prevents Off-Flavors: ALDC from CellarScience helps prevent the production of Diacetyl, a butter-like off-flavor, ensuring a cleaner-tasting beer. Reduces Conditioning Time: By limiting Diacetyl production during dry hopping or fermentation, ALDC reduces the time needed before your beer is ready for bottling or kegging. Versatile Use: ALDC can be added during yeast pitching or dry hopping, benefiting any beer style, especially those with heavy dry hopping, by controlling hop creep. Stop hop creep before it happens with ALDC from CellarScience. As modern beer styles call for increasing amounts of dry hops, a new risk for off-flavor in the finished beer arises. Hop creep is the result of yeast beginning a new fermentation when dry hops with trace amounts of fermentable sugars are introduced to the finished beer. This results in further production of Diacetyl and, if yeast are not given enough time to clean up after themselves, can lead to higher levels of Diacetyl in the finished beer. Diacetyl is often referred to as a butter or butterscotch like flavor and is not desirable in most styles, especially at high levels. ALDC, or alpha acetolactate decarboxylase, is a helpful enzyme that can be added at yeast pitching or along with your dry hops to limit the production of Diacetyl to protect your finished beer from off-flavors and reduce the conditioning time needed before its ready to bottle or keg. Use: Available in 1 oz dropper bottle or 8 oz and 32 oz Bettix bottles.  Add to fermenter during yeast pitching or dry hopping at a rate of 1 dropperful per 5 gallons or 3 mL per bbl. 1 oz contains approximately 35 doses for 5-gallon batches (enough to treat approximately 10 bbl). Additional Notes: Although commonly added to heavily dry hopped beers, using ALDC during fermentation can benefit any beer style by reducing Diacetyl production. Brewing hops all contain the naturally occurring enzyme AMG or amyloglucosidase which breaks down long chain sugars into simple sugars that yeast can ferment. The reason hop creep is a relatively new phenomenon is due to the changing ways in which hops are dried and processed. As brewers started to demand more aromatics from their hops, growers began to lower the kilning temperatures to preserve volatile oils. This led to higher levels of AMG left on the hops as well, where they were previously denatured at the higher kilning temperatures. With more AMG present on the hops, dry hopping now leads to more fermentation activity and higher levels of Diacetyl produced after the primary fermentation is complete. Although the simplest remedy to hop creep is time—waiting for the yeast to naturally clean up the extra Diacetyl—ALDC is a great way to reduce conditioning time and the risk of off-flavors in your finished beer. Storage: Store in the refrigerator between 32°F and 50°F. The recommended shelf life is 12 months after opening.

We will automatically ship this to you when we receive more inventory.     Unique amino acid blend activates Ehrlich pathway causing beer and wine yeast to produce tropical flavors Contributes complexity to beer styles like Hazys where tropical flavors are desired. Pairs perfectly with CellarScience HAZY Yeast Contributes tropical complexity to Sauvignon Blanc and Viognier wines when used in conjunction with CellarScience CITRUS Wine Yeast Enhance tropical flavors in your beer or wine with CellarScience Tropic Thunder. By changing the amino acid mix you feed your yeast you can influence the final flavors yeast produce. To understand why, we have to first explain the Ehrlich pathway which was discovered over 100 years ago by German Biochemist Felix Ehrlich. Yeast absorbs and breaks down a specific set of amino acids very slowly over the course of fermentation. The yeast cells incorporate the amino group into their cell structure, leaving an alpha-keto acid. This acid is turned into fusel alcohol by the yeast and then returned back out into the wort. This production of fusel alcohols via the breakdown of specific amino acids is called the Ehrlich Pathway. For Beer Fusel alcohol may scare you as a brewer... we get it, you are trained to avoid these! But certain fusel alcohols actually have a really positive effect on the final beer flavor. The idea behind CellarScience Tropic Thunder is we have selected specific amino acids that when fed to your yeast will result in the production of a small amount of fusel alcohols that contribute to the tropical flavors of mango, pineapple, and coconut. Tropic Thunder nutrient is often used to help create complexity in hazy IPA, but feel free to use it in any style where tropical flavors would be welcome—you are only limited by your imagination! When used in beer, Tropic Thunder can replace your typical yeast nutrient as it is itself an organic, DAP-free nutrient. If you typically use a complex nutrient that includes DAP, you can continue to add it separately as normal. For Wine Tropic Thunder is perfect for Sauvignon Blanc, Viognier and other select styles where tropical fruit flavors are part of your vision. In addition to selecting a thiol releasing yeast strain such as CellarScience CITRUS, Tropic Thunder can help bring complimentary tropical fusel flavors via the Ehrlich pathway. As a part of the overall mix, along with thiols and terpenes, the complexity of Sauvignon Blanc or Viognier is enhanced. Tropic Thunder can also be used in select Chardonnays or any white wines where tropical mango and pineapple flavors are desired. When added at the rate of 0.6 to 2 grams per gallon, Tropic Thunder contributes 3 to 12 ppm of YAN. When using CellarScience FermFed or FermFed DAP Free nutrient blends to power your fermentation, we recommend adding Tropic Thunder on top of these additions. Use: For beer or white wine add 0.6 to 2 gram per gallon (0.15 to 0.5 grams per liter) directly into the fermenter at the start of fermentation. Perform bench trials to determine optimal usage or start with a dosage of 1.2 g per gal (0.3 g per liter) and adjust as needed on future batches.

Adds mouthfeel and body to wines, seltzers, ciders, etc. Adds perceived sweetness without the concerns of adding residual sugar Helps lock in color by keeping anthocyanins in suspension in red wines Reduces the formation of tartrate crystals in white wine Makes bubbles in sparkling wine rise slower enhancing the appearance LiquiBody by CellarScience is a specialized, pre-liquefied Gum Arabic preparation that adds body and perceived sweetness while stabilizing color and smoothing tannic astringency. LiquiBody is made from high molecular weight polysaccharides which adds the perception of sweetness without having to stabilize residual sugar in your wine. The ability to add body and a little perceived sweetness has many applications. LiquiBody helps keep anthocyanin color compounds in solution, preventing them from precipitating out in the bottle. It is also particularly useful to help keep tartrates in solution when cold stabilization of white wine is not possible.  Popular Uses LiquiBody works really well in hard seltzers to add body and a slight sweetness. LiquiBody is added to sparkling wines to improve mouthfeel while increasing the appearance and fineness of the bubbles. Add perceived sweetness to any wine in your lineup to appeal to a larger portion of the population.  Filtering Add after rough filtration is finished and before or after sterile filtration. LiquiBody is suitable for use with a sterile membrane filter if your wine is very clean and you have prefiltered. If your wine is not prefiltered, and you already suspect you may have issues with sterile filtration, do not use LiquiBody. Dosage: LiquiBody is stabilized with potassium bisulfite which will add less than 1 ppm of SO2 into your final wine. Use: Add 0.75 to 5 mL per gallon. Perform bench trials to determine optimal usage or start with a dosage of 2 mL per gallon and adjust as needed on future batches. Works best at a temperature range between 50-68ºF and a pH of 4 to 5.5. Additional Notes: Once opened, partial bottles of LiquiBody should be refrigerated and used within 30 days. If a container is left open for longer than the suggested use, you can add 1000 ppm of SO2 to extend its life span.

Seltzer-Specific Formula: Provides the precise Free Amino Nitrogen (FAN) and nutrients lacking in sugar bases for a clean fermentation. Rapid & Clean Fermentation: Achieve a finished seltzer in as few as 5 days with a neutral flavor profile. Prevents Off-Flavors: Designed to help yeast avoid producing common off-flavors (fusel alcohols, acetaldehyde, sulfur). Easy to Use: Dissolves quickly and completely without the need for stirring or heating. Nutrient blends designed for fermenting wine or beer simply don’t cut it when it comes to crafting seltzers. Both grape juice and wort naturally contain baseline levels of nutrients and free amino nitrogen (FAN) that are absent in seltzer bases. Simply increasing the dosage of nutrients intended for beer or wine fermentation isn’t effective. While this approach may meet the nutrient requirements, yeast need a certain level of FAN to ferment seltzers efficiently and cleanly. Unfortunately, most nutrient products on the market fall short of this mark. Some solutions promote nitrogen bound within dead yeast cells, like our own FermFed DAP Free, as being suitable for seltzers. However, after extensive trials, we’ve found that this approach doesn’t deliver the neutral flavor profile needed for the best seltzers. While fermentations may complete, they often do so with unwanted yeast-derived off-flavors. Yeasts that struggle to finish tend to produce fusel alcohols, acetaldehyde, and sulfur compounds. Our Dynamo 800 Nutrient is specifically formulated to provide yeast with everything they need to achieve a clean fermentation in as few as 5 days. When designing this nutrient, a decision was made to make flavor the top priority. Additionally, it dissolves easily without the need for stirring or heating, making it simple and efficient to use. Dynamo includes both organic and inorganic nitrogen to achieve a fast, clean fermentation in the challenging environment of seltzer production. Like the 800-meter race, it’s not just about pure speed—it’s about endurance and precision. While some products prioritize fermentation speed alone, we believe Dynamo 800 Nutrient strikes the perfect balance. It has been designed to go the distance and deliver the best flavor, especially when paired with CellarScience VELO. Rapid Start: Can finish fermenting in as few as 5 days. Specifically Formulated for Seltzer Fermentation: Designed to meet the unique nutrient needs of seltzer. Does Not Need Heat to Dissolve: Specifically designed without the need for stirring. Optimal Free Amino Nitrogen (FAN) levels: Provides essential nutrients absent in sugar-based fermentations, including both inorganic and organic nitrogen sources. Prevents Off-Flavors: Helps yeast avoid producing fusel alcohols, acetaldehyde, and sulfur compounds. Fast, Clean Fermentation: Supports efficient fermentation without compromising taste. Balanced Approach: Prioritizes both fermentation speed and final flavor. Proven Results: Extensively tested to outperform other yeast nutrients.   Sold in pre-measured pitch sizes for 2-Gallon, 5-Gallon, 1 BBL, 5 BBL batches as well as a 5-LB bulk pack.

Improves Knockout Speed: By accelerating sedimentation, SilaFine Hot supports shorter whirlpool rests and more efficient brewhouse operation. Supports Better Fermentation: Clearer wort entering the fermenter can lead to faster, healthier fermentations and reduced haze precursors in finished beer. Vegan-Friendly & Purity Compliant: Made from pure, natural silica sol, SilaFine Hot is vegan-friendly and complies with the Reinheitsgebot German beer purity law. SilaFine Hot is an easy-to-use fining agent designed specifically for the hot side. Added during the boil or directly into the whirlpool, it helps bind and settle haze-forming particles and coarse trub so wort runs bright and clean into the fermenter. SilaFine Hot does not affect foam-positive proteins or beer flavor. Use Add SilaFine Hot during the last 5 minutes of the boil or inline to the whirlpool stream for full dispersion. Allow the whirlpool rest to compact trub before knockout. Standard Dose: 0.5–1 mL per gallon 15–30 mL per hL 19–38 mL per bbl Use the higher end of the range for adjunct-heavy or high-protein worts, such as those containing wheat, oats, or large percentages of rice or corn. Avoid overdosing, as excessive finings may temporarily increase haze and lengthen settling time. Whirlpool Best Practices Add separately from late hop additions for best clarity. Ensure adequate mixing or flow when dosing. Expect a tighter, more stable trub cone and improved wort clarity at knockout. Works effectively in both small brewhouses and large commercial systems. Additional Notes SilaFine Hot uses a commercial-grade silica sol at 30% concentration and is compliant with global beer purity standards. Do not freeze. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Recommended shelf life: 12 months from opening. Allergen Free. GMO Free.

Add to Red Wine Fermentation on the skin Binds with anthocyanins and stabilizes color Improves mouthfeel and body Mix of both ellagic and proanthocyanidin tannins CellarTan F is designed to be added to red wine fermentations where it binds color, improves body and mouthfeel, and softens the overall tannin profile. Used during the early stages of fermentation when anthocyanins are being released from the grape skin in the presence of alcohol and need to be stabilized for long term color retention. CellarTan F is a combination of ellagic tannins and proanthocyanidin tannins. Ellagic tannins are hydrolysable oak tannins that break down in wine. They react with grape skin derived phenolics to form flavono-ellagitannins which are hybrid compounds that play a key role in color stability while also softening the mouthfeel of your wine. Ellagic tannins also have potent antioxidant properties that reduce the need for SO2. Proanthocyanidin tannins, or condensed tannins, also contribute to color stability, taste, and mouthfeel. Through polymerization, anthocyanins cap the end of tannin chains to form stable color throughout the life of your wine. They also increase the body and structure of wine. Use: Dissolve 0.2 to 2 g per gallon (0.05 to 0.5 g per liter) in juice or water. Add to must at least 30 min after any SO2 addition and mix well. If you are unsure where to start within the suggested range, we recommend a dosage of 1 g per gallon (0.25 per liter) and adjust as desired on future fermentations.

Ultra-High Zinc Concentration: Provides 5.5–6.5% bioavailable elemental zinc—one of the highest yeast-bound concentrations available for maximum metabolic activation. Enhanced Fermentation Kinetics: Accelerates sugar metabolism and ethanol conversion for faster attenuation and a significantly reduced lag phase. Superior Yeast Health: Stabilizes cell membranes and reinforces stress tolerance, ensuring high viability in high-gravity brews and repitched batches. Optimized Flavor Profile: Promotes clean fermentation by reducing harsh fusels and balancing ester production for a more refined finished product. Absolute optimum value for delivering zinc to your yeast.  CellarScience FermZn Plus is an advanced yeast-derived nutrient designed to correct zinc deficiencies and restore complete fermentation performance. Zinc is one of the most critical trace elements in brewing and fermentation science it serves as a catalytic cofactor for key enzymes, including alcohol dehydrogenase, which is essential for ethanol production and redox balance. Yeast cells depend on zinc to stabilize cellular membranes, regulate stress-response proteins, and maintain the structural integrity of enzyme complexes involved in sugar metabolism. When zinc is limited, fermentation slows, higher alcohols and esters become unbalanced, and yeast viability declines especially in high-gravity or repitched conditions. FermZn Plus delivers an exceptionally concentrated level of zinc 5.5–6.5 % w/w elemental content—representing one of the highest bioavailable zinc concentrations achievable in a yeast-bound form. This massive zinc load ensures full metabolic activation of zinc-dependent enzymes, stabilizes cellular membranes, and enhances redox control, even in the most demanding high-gravity or nutrient-limited fermentations. By supplying zinc in a yeast-bound, bioavailable form, FermZn Plus bypasses the poor solubility of inorganic zinc salts, allowing yeast to uptake and utilize it efficiently throughout the entire fermentation cycle. The result is faster attenuation, reduced lag phase, cleaner flavor development, and healthier yeast for subsequent repitches. Bioavailable Zinc Complex: Delivers 5.5–6.5 % w/w elemental zinc bound within a yeast matrix for direct metabolic utilization among the highest yeast-bound zinc concentrations in fermentation science. Supports Alcohol Dehydrogenase Activity: Enhances the enzymatic conversion of acetaldehyde to ethanol for complete fermentation and reduced off-flavors. Accelerates Sugar Metabolism: Improves glycolytic pathway efficiency, leading to faster attenuation and reduced residual sugars. Protects Yeast Cell Structure: Reinforces membrane stability, improving osmotic and ethanol tolerance under stress. Improves Repitching Viability: Maintains intracellular zinc reserves for consistent fermentation performance across multiple generations. Optimizes Flavor Balance: Reduces harsh fusel formation while promoting desirable ester synthesis for a refined fermentation profile. YAN Neutral: Provides essential micronutrients without altering total nitrogen contribution or impacting nutrient balance. Recommended Usage Dose: 0.5–1 g/hL (0.019–0.038 g/gal), adjusted based on wort gravity and yeast stress level Preparation: Dissolve in sterile water prior to use Addition: Add during the final 10–15 minutes of the boil, or directly to sterile wort at pitch High-Gravity Beers Cider & Mead Wine & Fruit Wines Distillation Washes Serial Repitching Technical Data Zinc Content: 5.5–6.5 % w/w (yeast-bound) Composition: Yeast-derived trace mineral complex Nitrogen Contribution: Negligible (YAN neutral) Solubility: Readily dispersible in hot or sterile water Storage: Store in a cool, dry environment FERM-ZN PLUS delivers one of the most concentrated yeast-bound zinc sources in brewing science.

Add to red wine fermentations on the skin  Releases aroma compounds, anthocyanins for color, and polysaccharides for mouthfeel Reduces necessary contact time / physical interaction normally needed for extraction Pectinase blend that breaks down cellulose and hemicellulose Enzo Red contains a selection of enzymes designed to promote deep, lasting color, structure, and aroma in fine red wines. Enzo Red is a blend of pectinases that will degrade both cellulase and hemicellulase, releasing anthocyanins and desirable skin tannins. It also releases aromatic compounds along with polysaccharides to help contribute to the aroma and body of your red wine. By breaking down pectins, Enzo Red helps with faster clarification and easier downstream filtering. Enzo Red can help to reduce the amount of punch downs or pump overs required. While there is no harm to keeping your existing schedule, it reduces the need for extended skin contact time, helps with extraction when an ideal punch-down schedule can't be maintained, and lessens the amount of time spent in pump over. For pump over in particular, this can be an advantage by lessening the shearing action on seeds that can occur when pumping must. Enzo Red is obtained from aspergillus niger and does not contain the enzymes cinnamyl esterase (production of barnyard flavors) or anthocyanase which is known to produce oxidized color hues in wine. Use: Dilute 0.04 to 0.15 g per gal (0.01 to 0.04 g per liter) into water and add directly into the crushed grapes or must. Perform bench trials to determine optimal usage or start with a dosage of 0.1 g per gal (0.025 g per liter) and adjust as desired on future batches.

High-Gravity Optimized: Precisely calibrated for 18–20% ABV sugar-wash fermentations. Ultra-Clean Finish: Eliminates "turbo funk" by actively suppressing fusels, sulfur, and solvent off-flavors. Advanced Nutrient System: Dual-phase nitrogen, fortified minerals, and vitamins protect yeast under extreme ethanol stress. Highly Versatile Base: Produces a completely neutral alcohol perfect for 20% cocktails or diluted hard seltzers. Broad Compatibility: Performs consistently with a wide range of distiller’s and specialty yeast strains. Slayer 800 is precisely calibrated for sugar-wash fermentations targeting 18 to 20% ABV. Within this window, the nutrient ratio is tuned to balance nitrogen availability, osmotic stress, and yeast health. Fermenting a wash to 20% ABV demands precision, not brute force. At this level, osmotic pressure, ethanol toxicity, and nutrient exhaustion push yeast to their limits. Conventional “turbo” nutrients rely on aggressive nitrogen overloads that drive speed at the cost of flavor, producing the unmistakable turbo funk familiar to high-gravity brewers. Slayer 800 was engineered to defeat that  enabling rapid, stable, and neutral fermentations that finish strong, clean, and predictable. Every component in Slayer 800 serves a biochemical purpose. Its dual-phase nitrogen system combines rapid inorganic nitrogen for early growth with a measured organic fraction that sustains amino-acid synthesis deep into fermentation. This balanced loadout prevents nutrient collapse while minimizing fusel and sulfur formation. A mineral-based buffering system moderates acidification and preserves yeast metabolic efficiency. Supported by bioavailable zinc, magnesium, and an optimized vitamin complex, Slayer 800 reinforces cell-wall integrity and alcohol-dehydrogenase activity, the critical pathways that allow yeast to survive and thrive at extreme gravities. The result is a wash that ferments completely and cleanly, without the off-flavors or volatility typical of over-stimulated turbo washes. The purity of a Slayer 800 fermentation produces a remarkably neutral alcohol base suitable for diverse applications. It can serve directly as a 20% cocktail base for spirit-free cocktails or be diluted into a lower-strength seltzer base without introducing residual yeast or flavor carryover. The result is a clean, versatile foundation for both commercial and craft beverage creation. Compatible with a wide range of distiller’s and specialty yeast strains, Slayer 800 delivers complete, stable fermentations from small-batch runs to large-scale production. Its balanced nutrient profile supports consistent attenuation and clean finishes across yeast types, eliminating the variability that plagues generic turbo formulas.
