Rahr Standard 6-Row is a light-colored base malt made from a blend of American 6-Row barley varieties. 6-row barley has a much higher protein content and enzymatic power than 2-row barley. Inclusion of Standard 6-Row is therefore very advantageous for recipes calling for large proportions of specialty malts, wheat malts, or adjuncts, which have little or no enzymatic power themselves. 6-row barley is also used to match historical beer styles from settings where 2-row barley was not widely available. High proportions of 6-row barley may necessitate the use of adjuncts or require protein rests in mashing. Specifications: Color °L : 2.0-2.5 Moisture % Max : 4.5 Protein Total : 12.0 +/- 1.5 Extract FG Min : >79.0 Usage Rate : Up to 100% 55 pound bags also available.

CellarScience® SilaFine - Beer Fining Agent SilaFine is an easy-to-use, vegan friendly fining agent that quickly creates crystal clear beer by removing yeast and haze-forming particles. SilaFine is a unique, negatively charged silica sol fining agent that binds with and positively charged haze active proteins and polyphenols as well as yeast cells. SilaFine does not target foam active head forming proteins, leaving beer foam in glass unaffected. Use:Add 10ml or 1 tbsp per 5 gallons of finished beer. Gently rouse the beer to fully disperse the clarifier. Most effective on beer that has been chilled below 39°F. If the beer has not cleared after 24 hours, a second dose can be added. SilaFine should be stored cool, but do not freeze. Whirlpool: SilaFine can also be used in the whirlpool at a rate of 0.5-1ml per gallon to achieve a quicker and more compact sedimentation in the kettle.   Additional Notes: SilaFine is based on a special selection of commercial grade amorphous silicon dioxide, also known as silica sol, at a concentration of 30%. Silica sol is known by a few names in brewing including colloidal silica, acidified silicates, silicon dioxide, and silicic acid. Unlike some other silica sols, SilaFine is not treated with aluminum oxide. SilaFine is a pure mineral and complies with Reinheitsgebot German beer purity law. Do not freeze. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat.   The recommended shelf life is 12 months from the date the package is opened.   Allergen Free GMO Free

Bentonite is a negative charged, clay-like mineral that removes positively charged particles. It works best when the wine is at warmer temperature so it is suggested clearing with bentonite in the late spring or early summer. It is also more effective at a lower pH because the positive charge on proteins is stronger at lower pH levels.  It is usually added prior to fermentation, sometimes during secondary.   When making a wine kit from concentrate you will often add the bentonite on the first day. This happens for a couple of reasons. It is used as a nucleation sites for the removal of CO2. Additionally, the bentonite is moved all around the wine by the CO2 making it more effective in a shorter time period.Generic low level fining for five gallons: blend 1/2 tsp (approximately 3g) with 1/2 cup of hot water (140 to 200 F) in a blender for 1-2 minutes. Let stand for 60 minutes, mix, and stir into wine. Let stand for 10-14 days and then rack off. This is fining at .16g/LFor a generic mid level addition: Follow above directions but use 9 grams of with 3/4 cup of water. This is fining at .5g/L.

Gambrinus Rye Malt is a welcome addition to a wide range of beer styles and spirit mashbills, where it supplies spicy, grainy, and bready notes with suggestions of vanilla and sweet dough, as well as enhanced mouthfeel. Brewers love the subtle cracked-pepper spiciness that even small percentages of this malt bring to IPA, red ale, blonde ale, saison and grisette, Scotch and Irish ale, amber lagers, stout, or porter. When used as a larger proportion of the grist for traditional Roggenbier or rye beers, expect more dominant bready, spicy, and grainy overtones with a hint of vanilla. Gambrinus Rye Malt is a great addition for a Hazy IPA to amplify mouthfeel, viscosity, and head retention in conjunction with flaked oats or wheat. Because of the combination of high beta glucans and no husk, we recommend the use of rice or oat hulls to improve lautering and reduce the risk of a stuck mash. Distillers can use our Rye Malt as a base for vodka, gin, and aquavit, as well as a wide range of whiskey styles: bourbon, straight rye, experimental malt whiskey, and more. Specifications: Color °L: 2.0-3.5 Moisture % Max: 5.5 Protein Total: <11 Extract FG Min: 84.0% Usage Rate: Up to 20% 55 pound bags also available.

Calcium carbonate is used to reduce the acidity of wine. It does not require cold-stabilization to force complete precipitation, as does potassium carbonate. However, calcium carbonate is more likely to affect the flavor than potassium carbonate, and may take a few months to fully precipitate. One-quarter ounce (about 4 teaspoons) of calcium carbonate reduces acidity in one gallon by about 0.25%. Foaming may occur because of the production of CO2. Do not use more than one ounce per gallon. Wait 24 hours and rack wine. Calcium carbonate is also used in beer to increase the temporary hardness of water. Traditionally used in English stouts, pale ales and bitters.

Made by the same company that makes Star San and PBW and packaged in the same easy to use container as the 32 oz Star San. Instructions:   Thoroughly clean surfaces with PBW or compatible cleaner. Mix 2 oz. Saniclean for every 5 gal. of water. (Will be low-foaming) Apply on surface with cloth, mop, sponge, spray, or immersion.

Briess 2-Row Caramel 120L is a very dark crystal malt made with 2-row barley. It imparts deep red color and pronounced flavors of burnt-sugar, raisin, and prunes. Crystal malts also add body and improve head retention. Usage is progressive, starting light to add deep richness to pilsners and reaching the maxiumum 15% to impart color and raisiny flavor to darker ales, stouts, and porters. Crystal malts are gently cooked during the malting process. Cooking initiates the enzymatic conversion of starches into fermentable sugars, and caramelizes some of the sugars as the malt reaches its final color. This eliminates the need to mash crystal malt, and ensures that some of the sugars will survive fermentation to sweeten the beer. Briess caramel malts are roaster produced to create glassy, crystallized sugars with rich flavor and color. Specifications: Color °L : 120 Moisture % Max : 3 Extract FG Dry : 75 Usage Rate : Up to 15% 50 pound bags also available.
