Nugget hops were originally used just for bittering, but has now been widely accepted as a dual-purpose ingredient. High oil levels let Nugget hops' aromatic properties of mild spice and herbs with peach and pear shine through. Low Cohumulone levels may contribute to its smooth bitterness. A versatile hop you could use in an IPA, Barley Wine, ESB, and more.. Hop Statistics: Alpha Acids: 12 – 14.5% Beta Acids: 4.0 – 6.0% Alpha-Beta Ratio: 2 – 3.63 Cohumulone: (% of alpha acids): 22 – 26% Total Oils in mls per 100 grams dried: 1.8 – 2.2 Storage(% alpha acids remaining after 6 months storage at 68° F): 76% Similar Hop Varieties: Columbus, Magnum, Galena

This simple, yet effective ball lock cleaning system allows you to clean your ball lock kegs thoroughly without disassembling them.  It is as easy as connecting each ball lock fitting and screwing the garden hose thread to a hose or faucet. Flip the keg over to drain while pushing water through the dip tubes.   It is recommended you clean your kegs immediatley after emptying, as old beer can harden and become difficult to remove over time.  PBW or sanitizer can be used following the rinse for further cleaning.

The most common size used to make starters using White Labs brand yeast. Same as our Y300 Starter Kit, but with a 1000ml Erlenmeyer flask instead of the 500ml. (We do not recommend the use of an electric element with these flasks. If this cannot be avoided, we recommend using a larger pot as a hot water bath on the stove.) In the lab world, these flasks are known as "Student Grade". A great flask for making yeast starters!(Student grade is not the highest grade flasks and will have minor defects)

Getting into kegging has never been more affordable! Grab this 5-gallon ball lock keg for less than half the cost of a stainless corny keg of the same size! Transparent Oxebar Mono plastic makes it easy to see how much beer you have left in the keg. Especially handy when dispensing on the go Floating dip tube comes standard—a huge upgrade over traditional ball lock kegs. Draw the clearest beer inside the keg while leaving sediment behind Oxebar Mono Kegs are made from Nylon impregnated PET and Polyketone (POK) fittings for superior oxygen barrier properties compared to standard PET plastic Wedge seals on the Tapping Head and Ball Lock Caps eliminate points of oxygen ingress found where rubber is traditionally used Lower total oxygen pickup compared to a standard corny keg with silicone lid seal This 5-gallon keg is lightweight, compact and has high oxygen barrier properties with 3x better (meaning less) gas transmission than traditional PET grades of plastic making it suitable for beer storage or other oxygen sensitive carbonated and non-carbonated beverages. The included Ball Lock Tapping Head comes complete with Red & Yellow Ball Lock Caps for gas and beverage, floating dip tube with filter screen, and pull-ring PRV. Molded handles make it easy to remove the tapping head for cleaning and also allow you to stack the kegs on top of each other, even with your ball lock quick disconnects in place. Being made from the Mono Barrier PET Polymer Matrix, rather than stainless steel, this keg is lightweight and an ideal choice for draft dispensing on the go. But with all the key features of a standard corny homebrew keg, plus the added feature of the floating dip tube, the Oxebar Mono Keg makes for an affordable keg option for home dispensing as well. Fit up to 3 of these bad boys in a KOMOS Standard or Deluxe Kegerator, or fit up to 6 in the KOMOS Double-Wide Kegerator. Includes: 20L Amber Mono Barrier PET Oxebar Keg Dual PCO1881 Lid Assembly with Oxebar Black Handles Green Pull Ring PRV (65 PSI) Silicone Floating Dip Tube w/ Filter Attachment Red & Yellow Ball Lock Quick Disconnect (QD) Caps Specs: Height: 25.1" Diameter: 9.2" Volume: 5.28 Gallons Fit up to 3 kegs in the KOMOS Standard & Deluxe Kegerators NOTE: Oxebar Mono kegs are marked with a manufacture date. 2 years after production, and every 2 years after first use, it is recommended that the keg be hydro tested to ensure the keg is holding pressure. Hydro test instructions are below. You will also need a 100 PSI Gray PRV to perform the test. Fill the keg to the brim with room temperature water Replace the Green PRV with a Gray PRV rated to 6 BAR or higher Pressurize the tank to 6 BAR (87 psi) Hold the keg at 6 BAR for 1 minute Release the pressure and immediately remove the Gray PRV and swap back to the Green PRV If leaks or potential points of failure are found, replace the tank KegLand Part Number: KL36054   NOTE: Oxebar kegs are marked with a manufacturer’s “expiry date”. This does not indicate that the keg is bad after this date; it simply indicates that a hydro test may be in order. 2 years after production and every 2 years after first use, it is recommended that the keg be hydro tested to ensure the tank is holding pressure. Hydro test instructions are available here. You will also need the KG520 Tapping Head and D1072 Green PRV to perform the test. If you do not plan to pressurize the keg, the test is not necessary.

If you're tired of losing gas every time you connect or disconnect your Sodastream cylinder to your normal Sodastream cylinder adapter, this new design is what you need. Unlike cheaper Sodastream cylinder adapters, this unit has the added advantage that you can use the side thumb screw to depress the pin in the middle of the adapter. This pin adjustment makes the Sodastream cylinder adapter significantly easier to use. Some adapters require an Alan Key wrench to adjust the pin height, and depending on how worn out your seal is, you may need to adjust this pin periodically. Conventional, cheaper Sodastream adapters also tend to leak gas every time you connect and disconnect them from your regulator or the adapter itself. If you have a Sodastream Cylinder, you can use this adapter to connect it to a CGA320 CO2 Regulator. This is a great choice for mobile draft applications when you don't want to carry around your home draft system's 5 lb or larger CO2 tank. CGA320 Male Thread x TR21-4 Female Thread NOTE: Does not include CO2 regulator or Sodastream Cylinder seen in the example photos. KegLand Part Number: KL24662

PCO38 threaded tapping head pairs perfectly with Oxebar Mono PET Kegs for a lightweight, affordable draft dispensing system Dip tube features a filter attachment to keep solids in the keg and out of your glass Includes liquid and gas ball lock posts and pull-ring PRV rated to 36 psi This handy PCO38 Tapping Head assembly is a great way to get into kegging. Using standard homebrew ball lock disconnects, this is a convenient, light weight, robust and inexpensive solution to kegging beer, cocktails, kombucha, wine, and other beverages. This PCO38 tapping head assembly has been designed to suit standard PCO38 bottle necks such as the 4L or 8L Oxebar Mono PET Keg. KegLand utilizes quality engineering plastics and efficient injection stretch blow mould processes to manufacture economical kegs and tapping heads for both homebrewing and commercial beers. The plastics used in the tapping head can withstand a wide range of chemicals used in the brewing industry and relatively high temperatures (212°F / 100°C). The Ball Lock Tapping Head kit comes with 2.5 BAR (36 psi) PRV, liquid and gas ball lock posts, and dip tube with filter attachment. KegLand Part Number: KL27144   NOTE: The Oxebar Mono Keg shown in the example photos is sold separately.
