Beer Making

Used in beer making as a water treatment. Gypsum increases hardness and lowers pH. Its use is known to increase the perception of hop flavor compounds in beer. Used in winemaking to lower the pH of the must. As calcium sulfate is not removed from water by boiling, when present, it is referred to as permanent hardness.  Usage varies depending upon your exact water profile. Additions can range significantly based off your water source.  Usage below is something fairly typcial for many tap waters. Chemical name: Calcium Sulfate (CaSO4)

Unlike standard low-end bottle fillers, the Vintage Shop's springless model uses a plastic valve instead of a spring to seal. The springs are not made from a food grade quality metal. Fillers will work with 12 or 22oz bottles. Use with 1/2" tubing. Larger 1/2" diameter and increased flow is good for wine applications.

These Oxygen Absorbing beer bottle caps have a special liner that absorbs oxygen in the bottle's head space. This helps reduce the oxidation that happens during the bottling process, keeps your home brewed beer tasting fresher, and can extend it's shelf life. Important to note: It is recommended that you only sanitize as many caps as you'll require at the time of bottling. The oxygen-absorbing agent is activated when the cap gets wet. If wetted caps are saved for later use, they'll still function as a normal cap, but the oxygen absorbing agent may be depleted.

One fourth as sweet as cane sugar (sucrose) and non-fermentable by yeast. Use lactose when you want to sweeten a dry or bitter wine or beer. Also used to add sweetness and body to beers such as sweet stouts (milk stouts). Add a small amount, mix, and taste. Lactose can be added until desired flavor is obtained. There is no fermentation period or rest needed, so wine/beer may be bottled immediately. Add to hot water and mix thoroughly before adding to wine/beer. Add at end of fermentation, before bottling. Usage: 8 oz. per 5 gallons, or to taste Common name: Milk sugar

We think our Counter Pressure 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 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. Flush and fill from the bottom of the bottle with an all-stainless filler! Our new design on counter pressure filling features a special valve on top that allows CO2 or beer to flow down the same stainless tube, directly to the bottom of the bottle. The result is a more effective purging of oxygen and fresher tasting beer. The valve has three positions, off, beer and CO2. 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. Still has all the great features 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 Beer barb is 1/4". Gas barb is 5/16".

The EasyDens from Anton Paar was developed as a digital gravity/alcohol tester for small commercial breweries, but this product is just as useful in the winemaking process—from measuring and tracking the sugar content of grapes in the field to measuring alcohol levels at the end of fermentation. With only a small sample being needed, the EasyDens eliminates the need to fill up a hydrometer jar or using a refractometer and spread sheet to determine your test results. A tiny 2 ml sample is all that you need for an accurate Brix reading. Alcohol % can also be tracked at any point during fermentation. The unit hooks up to your smartphone via Bluetooth and stores various fermentation "profiles" enabling you to track fermentation progress, alcohol levels, and help know when it's time to bottle your wine! Brix Measurements Range: -10 °Brix to 80 °Brix Accuracy: 0.3 °Brix Resolution: 0.1 °Brix In order to get accurate measurements, please note your sample will need to have the solids filtered out and degassed prior to taking measurements. A simple coffee filter is recommended for filtering samples. Protect your device with the Silicone Protection Cover! See the documents tab for frequently asked questions about the Easy Dens. Features: Take a highly accurate gravity reading at any point in the winemaking process even when alcohol is present. Very fast and simple to use Only uses 2ml of sample Automatic Temperature Compensation Connects and displays via free app on your phone or tablet Based on oscillating u-tube principle which is known as world's most accurate testing method Extremely durable Measures in specific gravity and alcohol can be determined with original reading App features graphing for gravity and alcohol App stores batch records (10) and can email a batch record as a .csv for saving.

Kveik is a Norwegian word meaning yeast. In the Norwegian farmhouse tradition, kveik was preserved by drying and passed from generation to generation. Kveik is the original, traditional dried yeast! The LalBrew Voss strain was obtained from Sigmund Gjernes (Voss, Norway), who has maintained this culture using traditional methods since the 1980s and generously shared it with the wider brewing community. LalBrew Voss supports a wide range of fermentation temperatures between 25-40°C (77-104°F) with a very high optimal range of 35-40°C (95-104°F). Very fast fermentations are achieved within the optimal temperature range with full attenuation typically achieved within 2-3 days. The flavor profile is consistent across the entire temperature range: neutral with subtle fruity notes of orange and citrus. Flocculation is very high producing clear beers without filtration or use of process aids. Beer Styles: Norwegian farmhouse ales, neutral ales Aroma: Relatively neutral at high temps, slight orange and citrus notes Attenutation: Medium to High Fermentation Range: 77-104°F (Optimal: 95-104°F) Flocculation: Very High Alcohol Tolerance: 12% ABV

This capper is made by Ferrari of Italy and is the classic, smooth operating, easy to use hand capper. It is made from self-lubricating Nylon and is suprisingly strong. The unique patented design has a gear driven head that makes capping a breeze since less overall force is required. Many brewers like this model for several reasons.  It is lighter than normal metal cappers. It has wider handles making it easier to operate. A built in spring allows the capping mechanism to automatically retract when capping is completed. The built in magnet allows the cap to be positioned in the capping head and then applied to the bottle rather applying the cap on top of the bottle first. Overall less forced is required. This is made in Italy and not in China like some other red models sold on the market. We tested the Chinese models and be aware they break more often.  Set up to cap Standard Beer Bottles (26 mm), it can also cap wider Champagne or Belgian Bottles (29 mm) by reversing the metal jaws.
