First produced by Sutter Home winery in California, White Zinfandel was made by quickly removing the zinfandel grape skins from the wine before too much color could be imparted. This resulted in a pink-colored white wine that quickly became more popular than traditional zinfandel wines. The grape itself is one of the oldest known varieties and produces a wide range of wines that can be hearty, rustic, deep reds to the light, sweet rosé style that is White Zinfandel. The VineCo Original White Zinfandel is perky and light with notes of strawberry and raspberry. This light-medium bodied wine has no oak character. Off-dry and easily enjoyed with an alcohol content of 11.5% by volume.

Californian Zinfandel will never be found out of place; enjoy its tasteful flexibility that can adapt to any scenario Whether with a cheese board or a thick cut of ribeye, this wine is the perfect companion Flavors of strawberry jam, ripe berries, allspice, and mocha 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 There may be no grape in the world that goes by as many different names. Tribidrag in the Dalmatia region of Croatia. Primitivo in the heel of Italy’s boot, Apulia. Or simply, Zinfandel, as it is known in California where you will find most of the world’s plantings. And as befitting for a grape with so many known aliases, Zinfandel is something of a shapeshifter, employed to make wines ranging from hearty, rustic red wines to light, sweet rosés and countless variations in between. Known as one of the “founder varieties”, it can be traced as far back as 6000 BCE where it was first domesticated in the Caucasus region between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea. Today, it is the second most widely grown grape in California, where Zinfandel vines can be found that are well over a hundred years old and still thriving. These grapes produce a soft textured, dry red wine that is packed with flavors and aromas of jammy fruit and berry. Our California Zinfandel is smooth and full bodied with a light oak character. Aromatic with flavors of strawberry jam and ripe berries, with notes of allspice and mocha on the finish. A dry red wine with a robust alcohol content of 14% by volume. The Signature Series™ Zinfandel 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 production of the California Zinfandel 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 the classic oak flavor that can be found in many California Zins. The VineCo Signature Zinfandel is as much of a chameleon as the grape itself, appropriately poured alongside a variety of dishes and suitable for countless social situations. It may be the first bottle you open with an appetizer of assorted rich cheeses. Or it may be just the thing to compliment a rack of lamb or char broiled ribeye. Nobody puts Zinfandel in a corner. Zinfandel, California Strawberry jam, ripe berries, allspice, mocha finish Sweetness: Dry Oak: Light Body: Full ABV: 14% Kit Volume: 14 L Approximate Yield: 23 L Ready to bottle in 6-8 weeks Grape skins included Bottle labels included

Instead of fumbling around and struggling to light your home brew system’s burner, then worrying about a potential fire hazard, invest in a Camp Chef Ignitor to turn all of that into one simple step. This handy little gadget from Camp Chef mounts right on to the Camp Chef burner via an existing mounting hole installed specifically for this purpose. Since your igniter will always be right on the side of your burner, you’ll never have to worry about a misplaced lighter again. The Camp Chef Igniter operates with a push-button “sparker,” which is similar to the ones found on your furnace or hot water heater. An electric current creates a spark to light the pilot, which then supplies gas to the burner in order to heat your home brew safely and conveniently.

In wine, used to suppress naturally occurring microorganisms and prevent spoilage. Also works as an antioxidant. Add at a rate of 1 tab/gallon to achieve 75 ppm free SO2.  These tablets use potassium metabisulphate as opposed to sodium metabisulphate.  Potassium based campden tablets are generally preferred by winemakers who do not want to add excess sodium into their wine.   Can also be added to water to remove chloramine (1 tab is sufficient for roughly 5-20 gallons)

An essential ingredient in winemaking.   Sodium Metabisulfite, (often referred to as SO2, sulfites meta, or meta-bi) has several uses in winemaking. It is used at the crush, to help control the spoilage bacteria and indigenous yeast that may already be present on the fruit or the equipment. The amount used is enough to stop most of the unwanted organisms but not enough to hinder a cultured yeast, which has a higher tolerance to sulfites. This effectively “wipes the slate clean” for the cultured yeast to step in and rapidly colonize the must.   Sulfites also help to inhibit the enzymatic browning of musts and finished wines. During storage and in the bottle, sulfites at the proper levels will protect a wine by continuing to inhibit spoilage organisms, as well as by scavenging oxygen.   Campden tablets are Sodium Metabisulfite in an easier to measure format. Adds 75 ppm of sulfites at the rate of one tablet per gallon. These must be fully ground-up prior to use. Potassium Meta-bi in powder form, AD495 or AD500, is much easier to use if you have a scale and does not add sodium to your wine.   It is possible the sodium could contribute a very small salty flavor. Especially when making white wine it is preferable to add potassium over sodium since added potassium can later help with cold stabilization.   For more information refer to our MoreManuals! on Red or White Winemaking or one of the winemaking books that we offer for a complete explanation on how to properly manage sulfites.

Cane Sugar, or Sucrose, is made of one glucose molecule and one fructose molecule bonded together. Commonly used for chaptalization (adding sugar to increase alcohol potential).  Yeast cannot ferment sucrose directly. It first secretes an enzyme (invertase) that splits sucrose into glucose and fructose before uptake.

This optional accessory for the Cannular Filler provides real-time temperature readings displayed directly on the unit during filling runs, helping prevent foaming issues caused by warm beverages Temperature data is automatically logged to the RAPT cloud, providing valuable insights into your filling process and enabling consistent quality Simple installation by opening the unit's case and plugging the probe into filler's circuit board The Cannular Can and Bottle Filler offers an optional Instant Read Temperature Probe accessory. A common issue with rapid can and bottle filling is foaming, often caused by insufficiently chilled beverages. With Temperature Probe installed, you can monitor the temperature of your beverages throughout the filling run. The Cannular Can and Bottle Filler's circuit board includes a dedicated plug for the temperature probe. To install the probe, open the casing and remove the grommet on top of the machine. Insert the probe through the grommet hole from the inside out, ensuring the cable and plug remain within the casing. Once installed, the probe measures the beverage temperature during filling and displays it on the unit. This data is also transmitted to the RAPT cloud, where it is recorded with other filling run statistics. KegLand Part Number: KL38171

Automated Filling System: Fill any beverage into any bottle, can, jar, or glass automatically with this internet-connected, RAPT-enabled Cannular Can and Bottle Filler, offering a more sanitary and user-friendly experience than competitors. Integrated Pinch Valve and Regulator: The pinch valve allows easy removal of the beer line for cleaning, while the integrated regulator eliminates the need for an external regulator, preventing damage from high-pressure gas sources. OLED Digital Display and WiFi Connectivity: The OLED display simplifies calibration and allows real-time adjustments, while WiFi connectivity to the RAPT.io portal logs usage data and enables remote management of settings and profiles. Versatile and Multi-Purpose: With adjustable stainless steel tubes and a height range suitable for bottles up to 11.8" and cans up to 10.6", this filler can handle still or carbonated beverages, making it ideal for various containers including wine bottles, beer cans, and more. Low Dissolved Oxygen (DO) Pickup: The filler effectively purges oxygen from the container, ensuring substantially lower dissolved oxygen levels, which enhances the quality and longevity of your beverage. Fill any beverage into any bottle, can, jar, or glass automatically with this internet-connected, RAPT-enabled, Cannular Can and Bottle Filler. Featuring two adjustable stainless steel tubes, the Cannular Filler will use one to purge oxygen out of the vessel and then use the second one to fill the vessel to a precise level based on an internal pressure sensor. OLED Digital Display The OLED display makes calibration super easy. It also enables you to keep track of filling speed, number of cycles/fills, purge time, fill height, and also enables you to make on-the-fly adjustments to your filling requirements so you can conveniently tweak the settings while filling. Integrated Ball Lock Connectors The integrated ball lock connectors allow you to quickly attach your beer and gas ball lock disconnects. We recommend the use of the Duotight Ball Lock Quick Disconnects in Gas and Liquid to connect to these inputs and outputs. Integrated Pinch Valve The integrated pinch valve is one of the things that makes this unit far superior to other filling machines. The pinch valve enables you to easily remove the beer line for cleaning so the stainless tube, silicone hose, and yellow ball lock cap removes completely and can be put into the dishwasher or cleaned in the sink. The pinch valve is mechanically simple and therefore reliable. It is not subject to small particles like hops getting stuck in the device and eliminates the need for pre-filtration. It simply pinches down on the silicone tube to shut off the flow. This design also enables laminar flow that reduces foaming. The pinch valve improves reliability, makes it easier to operate, and a piece of cake to clean. Integrated Regulator Other filling machines require an external regulator that may need to drop the pressure lower than your normal keg dispensing pressure. Unlike these other fillers, this filler has an integrated regulator which saves time and setup costs. This integrated regulator means you will not damage your machine by accidentally connecting it to a high-pressure gas source. You can hook up your gas line without the need for another external regulator or to fool around with your gas supply at all. Just set the integrated regulator once during setup and forget about it. Multi-Purpose The long stainless tubes and adjustable height make this device useful for pretty much any bottles up to 11.8" (30cm) high or cans up to 10.6" (27cm) high. It can also be used for still or carbonated beverages, so this device is useful for wine bottles, beer cans, champagne, crown seal bottles, and pretty much any other bottle/can/vessel that has a neck opening greater than 0.59" (15mm). It can also be used for filling glasses, jars, or other vessels. Fill Profiles Some other machines require a full calibration to change from one vessel type to another. This machine allows you to pre-save fill profiles depending on what you are doing. Save a filling profile for your 12 oz cans and then save a different filling profile for your 750mL wine bottles. Use our pre-saved presets or alternatively make your own fill profiles with different purge times and fill height. These are also synced with the RAPT.io portal so you can save profiles and share them with friends or deploy them to several other devices. RAPT.io Connected (via WiFi) As well as all the features above, this filler connects to your WiFi and keeps track of your Cans Per Minute (CPM), fill speed, and even temperature (if you purchase the external Instant Read Temperature Probe separately). It will log all usage information so you can keep track of how your machine is running or even keep track of your staff to make sure they are cycling the machine at an acceptable rate. The connectivity to the RAPT.io portal will enable you to more easily change settings, update profiles, and keep track of your fill days so you can historically keep track of how your fill day went and which day you processed each batch. Low DO Pickup The quality and longevity of your beverage are often defined by how well you keep oxygen off your product. This filler purges the oxygen out of the can and will enable you to get substantially lower dissolved oxygen. Wall Mounted Design This type of can and bottle filler has primarily been designed for wall-mounting configuration. This allows you to bring a can or bottle up to the filler from the underside of the unit. To wall mount this unit you can download and print this template. 24V DC Power Supply KegLand Part Number: KL37785

Everything you need to start seaming Tin Cans for food applications with the Cannular Pro can seamer. This kit includes the Cannular Pro Semi-Auto Canning Machine, 110V Power Supply, Splash Guard Accessory, and we've included the Tin Can Chuck Adapter for free!. Please note: the Cannular comes ready for sealing 12 oz and 16 oz aluminum cans as standard. The Tin Can Chuck must be installed before seaming tin plated steel cans. Home canning is a great method for preserving homemade food products and storing fresh fruits and vegetables from the garden. Tin plated steel cans are a robust packaging option, and include easy-open pull-ring lids that do not require a can opener. Just lift the ring pull and tear off the lid of the can. These cans are suitable for a diverse range of food or non-food products such as meat, beverages, oil, chemicals, fruit, and vegetables.   Steel cans are a great option for food storage containers, as they are stronger than plastic options and far less fragile than glass mason jars. Due to the robustness of the container, sealed cans won't break from falls off the counter and they will protect the product in transit and prevent leakage or loss. They offer 100% barrier protection against light, water, and air -- not only protecting the quality of your food products but also extending their shelf life. Operation: The beauty of the Cannular lies in how truly simple it is to operate, and the semi-automatic pro model makes canning beer even easier. With only three points of operation, it only takes a few minutes to familiarize yourself with the machine. The seaming process is as follows: Place lid atop the can and place the can on the table spacer Turn the platform lever clockwise to raise the can to the seamer Press the seaming operation button then wait for the can to stop spinning Turn the platform lever counterclockwise to lower the can That's all there is to it! Construction: The Cannular was designed to be compact, durable, and safe to operate in a wet environment. The platform assembly is made from 304 grade stainless steel, so no matter how messy your canning gets, there's no need to worry about rusting or degradation. The body of the unit is made from hammered sheet metal and fastened together with stainless steel screws. Rubber feet help keep the unit from slipping and sliding while in use. In addition, the Cannular features built-in brackets near the feet so you have the option to mount the machine to your counter or benchtop. The Cannular runs off of 24V DC power via the Anderson socket located on the back. This lower voltage was chosen specifically to make the unit as safe to use in a wet environment as possible. Kit Includes: Cannular Pro Can Seamer 110V Power Supply Splash Guard Tin Can Chuck for 100mm diameter cans Cannular Pro Specifications: Power: 250W 24V DC Rated Speed: 3300 RPM Gearbox Ratio: 9.8 : 1 Dimensions: 16" L x 9.5" W x 21" H Weight: 40 lbs   Please note: When you receive your cannular the rollers have been set and tested at the factory. They should not need adjustment for 100,000 cans. The table, however, comes unadjusted and getting it set up correctly is very important to getting a proper seal. Cannular's test show that a .4mm (.015") actual overlap is all that is needed to seal to 90 PSI. The proper table tension takes a little practice and expect to waste a few cans getting it dialed in. Once you learn the proper tension re-adjusting it is very quick and easy. You want the tension to be tight but not so tight as to dent the can. Use cans at your fill height with water for proper tension adjustment.   For more information on can seaming, check out this site here.

The Cannular Pro is a semi-automatic can seamer that is easy to use, reliable, and beautifully simple. Whether you're a brewery looking to offer canned beer to go or a homebrewer wanting to keep your creations fresh and fully protected from light, the Cannular is the answer. This bench top unit is one of the most compact and easy to use can seamers you'll find. The Cannular only requires one person to operate, and each can takes roughly 3 seconds to seam. With a two-person team, one filling and one seaming, the Cannular becomes a suitable option for nano breweries doing small canning production runs. Cannular Pro vs. Manual Unit This new Semi-Auto Pro model will guarantee you get a consistent seaming process every time. Unlike the less expensive manual can seamer, this machine has no lever for the seaming operation, meaning it's even easier for the operator to seam the can consistently and will not vary on how hard the operator is pulling the lever.  Another major difference is that the Cannular Pro's table spacer is specially designed to work with all standard 202 cans, including the industry favorite 16 oz (473ml) and 12 oz (355 ml) cans, as well as our 500ml (16.9 oz) and 330ml (11.2 oz) Can Fresh Aluminum Cans. Unlike the manual model that requires a secondary table spacer for use with 330ml cans, the Pro model features an adjustable platform, allowing you to raise or lower the table spacer depending on what size can you're seaming. It is necessary to adjust the table height to ensure you have the appropriate amount of pressure applied when the can lift is raised. The Cannular Pro can be adapted for use with 32 oz Crowlers (Ball 300 can/end). To seam Ball 300 end/lid type oversized aluminium cans you will need to purchase the required Chuck for 1L (32 oz) Crowlers separately (coming soon). The Cannular Pro can also be adapted for use with Tin Plated Steel Cans for food packaging applications. The table spacer is designed to accept these 100mm cans, but you will need to purchase the required 100mm Chuck separately. Operation: The beauty of the Cannular lies in how truly simple it is to operate, and the semi-automatic pro model makes canning beer even easier. With only three points of operation, it only takes a few minutes to familiarize yourself with the machine.

The Cannular runs off of 24V DC power via the Anderson socket located on the back. This lower voltage was chosen specifically to make the unit as safe to use in a wet environment as possible.   Power: As noted above, the Cannular comes with a 24V DC Anderson socket located on the back of the unit. It does not, however, include a cord and plug. This unit uses the more powerful Pro Model Power Supply, which provides enough power to seam tin plated steel cans as well as aluminum cans.   Why Cans? So why can when you can bottle? There's no doubt that canning has become a more and more popular format for packaging beer among craft breweries over the last several years, and with good reason. Aluminum cans aren't just more environmentally friendly than bottles, since cans require less energy to transport and recycle, they're also much better at protecting the quality of the beer. Whereas bottles allow in light, which leads to skunking, aluminum cans offer 100% protection from UV and other wavelengths of light that are harmful to beer. There's still great debate surrounding whether cans or bottles are better at keeping beer fresh, but if done correctly, cans are theoretically the superior option. When a crown cap is crimped onto a bottle, the lining of the cap can form an imperfect seal on the bottle, allowing small amounts of oxygen in, as well as small amounts of CO2 out. Over time this can result in oxidation of the beer and lost carbonation. Seamed cans, on the other hand, form a much better seal that can prevent these issues. Of course, it's important to make sure that the can is purged of oxygen before being filled, and that the can lid is sealed atop foam to eliminate oxygen from the headspace. Aside from all the "sciency stuff", cans are just plain safer. Take your beer backpacking, camping, or poolside and rest assured that broken glass won't ruin your day!   Specifications: Power: 250W 24V DC Rated Speed: 3300 RPM Gearbox Ratio: 9.8 : 1 Dimensions: 16" L x 9.5" W x 21" H Weight: 40 lbs Splash guard not included Max Can Height: 7.75" (197mm) Please note the pictured splash guard is not included with the seamer. Please see CAN106 to add the splash guard to your order. Please note: When you receive your cannular the rollers have been set and tested at the factory. They should not need adjustment for 100,000 cans. We recommend testing at least 4 cans to verify the calibration. The table, however, comes unadjusted and getting it set up correctly is very important to getting a proper seal. Cannular's test show that a minimum 0.4mm (.015") actual overlap is needed to seal to 90 PSI. The proper table tension takes a little practice and expect to waste a few cans getting it dialed in. Once you learn the proper tension re-adjusting it is very quick and easy. You want the tension to be tight but not so tight as to dent the can. Use cans at your fill height with water for proper tension adjustment. Kegland Part number: KL15769
