Belle Saison is an ale yeast of Belgian origin selected for its ability to produce great Saison-style beer. It is a quick starter and a vigorous fermenter, and has a high attenuation and alcohol tolerance. Cooling is generally not used in this style of beer, temperature is allowed to rise through the course of fermentation aiding in the production of the fruity, peppery, and spicy characters you can expect from this yeast. *See the technical data sheet below for information on rehydration, usage and storage.

The Cool Brewing Fermentation Cooler is a great way to lower fermentation temperatures, while keeping costs low as well.  This insulated fermentation bag is designed to hold a 5, 6, or 6.5 gal fermenter along with airlock while fermenting.  By simply adding in bottles of ice from the freezer, you can see a 30° F drop in the bag from ambient temperatures. Not only will your customers produce better beer, but they will be less constrained to seasonal temperature changes.  Aside from working great to cool ferments during the summer, it functions just as well as a heated fermentation chamber during the colder months.  Pair the Cool Brewing Insulated Fermention Bag with a Fermwrap and temperature controller for precise heating control. The Cool Brewing Bag has recently been further improved with the following updates: Thicker Insulation. This not only helps maintain cooler temperatures better, but also makes the cooler more rigid to stand up better on its own. A thicker internal liner. This helps keep the cooler even more durable as well as helping with temperature control. A heavier duty zipper. Specifically designed to accommodate thicker insulation and liner for improved durability. Inner Dimensions: 20.5" D x 25.5" H

Note: Due to a shift in the industry, US Magnum has become very scarce. German Magnum is readily available and is a direct substitute. Magnum is a great bittering hop with an aroma similar to a strong Willamette. It therefore works well with Willamette, Fuggles, and British Kent Goldings when used as an aroma hop in later boil additions.  Magnum makes an incredibly useful bittering agent in just about any beer, and due to its very smooth bitterness, you can really use as much as you want. Hop Statistics: Alpha Acids: 10.0 – 14.0% Beta Acids: 4.5 – 7.0% Alpha-Beta Ratio: 1.43 – 3.11 Cohumulone: (% of alpha acids): 24 – 30% Total Oils in mls per 100 grams dried: 1.9 – 3.0 Similar Hop Varieties: Nugget, Columbus, Horizon

Chinook hops are a very distinctive dual-purpose hop used in Ales for both bittering and flavor/aroma. Chinook hops are commonly used in West Coast style IPAs. Distinct, medium intensity spice and pine characteristics with subtle notes of grapefruit. Some consider the bittering quality of this hop to be a bit rough because it has a lingering quality. On the other hand, some brewers can't get enough! The flavor/aroma is spicy and unique, with a huge following of loyal fans. Hop Statistics Alpha Acids: 12.0 – 14.0% Beta Acids: 3.0 – 4.0% Alpha-Beta Ratio: 3.0 – 4.67 Cohumulone: (% of alpha acids): 29 – 34% Total Oils in mls per 100 grams dried: 1.5 – 2.5 Similar Hop Varieties: Northern Brewer, Columbus, Nugget

#1 Best selling beer faucet! The Perlick Stainless Beer Faucet 630SS is our #1 best selling faucet for two very important reasons. 1) This Perlick Faucet features the revolutionary forward sealing design. Homebrewers are fanatics when it comes to keeping their equipment clean. Beer residue can grow unwanted contaminants, and spoil the taste of your beer. The rear-sealing faucet traps beer inside of its body. There is a pin-hole in the faucet to allow the beer to drain out. This leaves residue, causing the faucet to remain sticky and prone to contamination. The Perlick Faucet, with its forward sealing design, only has beer drain from the short 1" nozzle section. This keeps the operating part of the faucet clean so it will function smoothly (even when it was not cleaned between uses) and greatly reduces the chance of contamination. 2) Stainless Steel construction. It goes without saying that Stainless Steel is the metal you want touching your beer. It has the structural integrity, and durability to last a lifetime. Old-school faucets are made of chrome-plated brass. Eventually, the chrome wears off, exposing the brass. The beer can then pit the brass, leaving nooks and crannies where bacteria can grow. This can cause an off flavor in your beer. Both of these features prevent the faucet from malfunctioning and from adding off flavors to your beer. What more could a serious homebrewer want?

White Koji is an exciting new specialty ingredient formulated specifically for the brewing industry Instant kettle sour! No waiting for bacteria to do their thing. Just add directly to the mash to hit your target pH Citric acid is naturally produced by Aspergillus luchuensis, offering a clean pleasant acidity when compared to lactic acid The citric acid produced can be swapped for lactic acid in any application, such as sour beers or mash pH adjustments CellarScience imports this Koji fresh from Japan's best sake and koji producer Try using White Koji instead of acidulated malt in your next batch, especially nice in a Japanese rice lager! This White Koji is formulated specifically for brewing beer with citric acid. Citric acid tends to have a less harsh astringency when compared to lactic acid. Used at a high percentage (20-25%), it makes a very clean kettle sour instantly. Rather than waiting overnight for the bacteria, you can hit your target pH during your standard mashing process. It can also be added to any recipe to adjust pH in the mash, similar to acidulated malt. This traditional ingredient, imported directly from Japan, is a great addition to your next craft Japanese rice lager! Koji (Aspergillus luchuensis) is a fungus that is grown on rice during the Shochu making process and citric acid is naturally generated. Koji is grown on rice which breaks down starch in the rice to a more fermentable sugar source. Yeast can then use these sugars during fermentation to add a bright and refreshing citric acid character. White Koji should be used at a rate of 20% - 25% of total grain in your recipe for souring. Use at a small percentage, as needed, for pH adjustment in the mash. Koji in Beverage Making Koji, a unique mold, is the heart of many beloved Japanese beverages, transforming starches into the sugars necessary for fermentation. While traditionally barley malting achieves this in whisky, innovative distillers are embracing koji, particularly yellow and white varieties, to unlock new flavor profiles. In shochu, white and black koji are favored for their citric acid production, ensuring a clean and stable fermentation, while yellow koji adds a touch of sake-like complexity. And of course, yellow koji reigns supreme in sake, orchestrating the intricate parallel fermentation that defines its character. This ancient ingredient, with its diverse strains, offers a remarkable tool for crafting distinctive spirits. Whether it's the bright acidity of white koji in shochu, the delicate sweetness of yellow koji in sake, or the novel depth it brings to whisky, koji's transformative power is undeniable. By harnessing the unique properties of different koji varieties, producers are pushing the boundaries of flavor, creating beverages that are both rooted in tradition and boldly innovative.

Common juniper is a small evergreen tree that is related to cedar, cypress and other conifers. The mature, dark-colored cones, or berries, are used to lend a slightly citrus and pine-like flavor to foods and beverages. In Northern Europe, juniper berries are used as a spice to season game meats and sauerkraut, as well as beer. The berries are also the key flavoring agent in gin. Available in 1 oz and 16 oz bags.
