Traditional 22 oz longneck beer bottles, often referred to as "bombers", take standard crown caps (26 mm).  12 bottles per case, with dividers. These bottles are thicker and darker than most other bottles, offering better protection against UV rays and preventing your beer from becoming lightstruck.  These bottles are used by the likes of Stone, Speakeasy, Drakes, Knee Deep and even Anheuser Busch.   The displacement caused by a 3/8" bottle filler leaves the perfect amount of headspace in your bottle.  Significantly reduce your bottling time by switching from 12 oz bottles to 22 oz bottles. Two cases of this classic beer bottle will house a standard 5 gallon batch of homebrew (you may need an extra bottle or two if you ended up with a full five gallons).  Fits all standard (26 mm) pry-off and universal style crown caps. Don't forget your bottle caps. We stock over 10 different colors and styles of crown caps! Skip labelling your bottles by identifying them with colored crown caps. Bottle Specifications: Capacity: 22 fl. Oz. Weight: 1 5/8 lb Height: 11 inches Outside Diameter: 2.9 inches Pressure Rating: Up to 3 volumes of carbonation.

LalBrew® CBC-1 has been specifically selected from the Lallemand Yeast Culture Collection for its refermentation properties and is recommended for Cask and Bottle Conditioning. LalBrew® CBC-1 referments beer efficiently due to its high resistance to alcohol and pressure. The flavor is neutral, therefore the original character of the beer is preserved. The yeast will settle and form a tight mat at the end of refermentation. LalBrew® CBC-1 can also be used for primary fermentation of dry ciders or mead. Maltotriose is not metabolized during primary fermentation of beer, so LalBrew® CBC-1 is well suited for sweeter fruit beers or fullbodied, malty ales. Primary Beer Styles: fruit beers, full-bodied, malty beers, dry cider and mead Bottle Conditioning: all beer styles Aroma: Neutral Fermentation Range: Primary 68°F (Refermentation: 59-77°F) Alcohol Tolerance: Primary 18% ABV (Refermentation: 12-14% ABV)

The Temp Twister Cooling Coil installs easily on all models of FermZilla fermenter and can be used with virtually any fermenter with an opening diameter of 4-3/8" or wider. The inlet and outlet of the coil are extra long so the coil can be used with every sized FermZilla. In order to cut them to an appropriate length for your application, we recommend this compact pipe cutter. To install, simply drill two 22 mm holes into the lid of the fermenter and use the included Duotight bulkhead fittings to attach the coil to the lid. The FermZilla will still be pressurizable after installing the Temp Twister, just be careful to drill the holes no wider than needed to fit the Duotight bulkheads. Specifications: Coil Diameter - 4.33" Coil Height - 14" Overall Length - 26.75" Tubing Diameter - 3/8" OD Made from 304 Stainless Steel Includes 2 x 9.5 mm Duotight bulkheads Kegland Part number: KL14618

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.

Fully carbonate your beer in under 2 days! With the Carbonating Keg Lid you can quickly carbonate beer without the risk of over carbonating like with the burst carbonation method Diffusion stone disperses CO2 directly into solution for faster gas absorption Brand new keg lid complete with o-ring and PRV The easiest way to carbonate beer. This is a Cornelius keg lid with built-in carbonation stone! Move the lid from keg to keg to carbonate as needed. Allows you to force carbonate quickly using the attached .5 micron stone with the portability of being able to move the lid from keg to keg. No more hassles of trying to attach and unattach line from the "gas in" dip tube. Simply connect your gas quick disconnect to the included fitting on the lid and allow carbonation to begin. Sometimes also called a carbonater. We constructed the lid by welding on a 1/4" barb to the underside of the lid. To that we attached 2' of 1/4" ID tubing that attaches to a .5 micron carb stone on the other end. The flexible tubing, as opposed to rigid tubing, allows the lid inserted into any cornelius style keg. The top of the lid has a "gas in" ball lock body connect welded in place that works with the KEG710 and KEG730 gas quick disconnects. Use: Beer must be stored cold at 34–40°F. Preboil the stone for 2–3 minutes before using. This assures you that your stone is sterile and any residual oils have been boiled off. Sanitize the whole keg lid before submersing into your keg filled with beer. Set your PSI on your regulator to 3–4psi and attach your gas in fitting to the body connect on the lid. Leave keg at this pressure for 1 hour. Raise your pressure 2PSI per hour until you reach 10–12psi. Leave it at 10–12psi for 24 hours. Pour a pint and test the carbonation. If you think your beer needs more CO2 leave for another 4–6 hours and have another pint. Remove carbonation lid after carbonation level is satisfactory. Return original keg lid for long term storage.

Cacao nibs are the crushed and roasted seeds from the Cacao plant. It is these seeds that are the key ingredient in chocolate. While not technically chocolate themselves, our nibs do have a wonderful cocoa smell to them, and will provide a very subdued cocoa-like flavor to any beer. A few of us at the shop began to use these nibs like you would a dry hop, but in a process we coined - just to sound official - called "Dry Nibbing". All it means is simply adding the nibs to your secondary fermenter or keg for a couple of weeks (4 ounces per 5 gallons is a great place to start), allowing the beer to draw out the subtle flavors and aromas of the cacao nibs. We have had great success with leaving the nibs inside the keg for as long as 8 months! They can also be used in the boil or mash - wherever you would like to experiment with them. Any addition of the nibs pre-boil will impart some bitterness, so use a lot less than you would when adding them to a keg. (Recently, our friends at Stone Brewing Company made a stout using cacao nibs in the boil to actually replace some of the hops in the recipe!) Our super high quality TCHO cacao nibs go great with darker beers like porters and stouts, but could blend with any beer - perhaps a wit or a saison! TCHO is a new American chocolate company in San Francisco, CA dedicated to producing high end chocolates.

Traditional Czech Saaz hops are most commonly chosen for aromatic additions to Pilsners and Lagers, but also work well in Light Ales and Belgians. Though alpha acids are low, they are used for both bittering and an aroma of pleasant earthy, herbal and floral notes. You can finish just about any Lager recipe with this versatile hop. Even though it has a low alpha-acid content you will find many traditional recipes using this hop for both bittering and for flavor/aroma additions.
