Taiheke® 2025 Harvest

Batch: 25-323

Alpha: 7.70%

Beta: 5.80%

New Zealand grown dual purpose US Cultivar with citrus “grapefruit/lime” characters.

Breeding:

Taiheke® Brand USDA 56013 originates from an early US breeding program circa 1956 and was the first commercially bred hop to emerge from the USDA-ARS program when released in 1972. It was bred from crossing an English Fuggle with a male selection believed to have been a crossing of Fuggle with the Russian variety Serebrianka. 

Selection:

During selection this hop displays quite exceptional levels of citrus moving more to New Zealand tropical fruit characteristics. Through selection, agronomics and “Terroir” the flavour and aroma characteristics have altered markedly from the original cultivar to no longer be considered the same variety.   Its bright colour and tight compact cone shape give it instant appeal during selections and the power of its resinous fruit mix on the senses makes it a real standout during selection. 

Brewing:

Performs well when used as a single variety across multiple kettle additions or when singled out as a late gift or dry hopping duty. Can do some really great things for the hop advocate when matched up with some of the other New Zealand aroma heavy weights such as Motueka or Riwaka. A fun hop in the brewery which literally sighs with pleasure when plunged into a hop back. 

'A personality of its own’

Applications:

Typically employed in “new world” style pale ales and creative brewers are using it for very intense summer ales where its fruit forward aroma and oils profile make for a refreshing finish.

Tail Piece for your dispensing system that provides a 1/4" MFL connector instead of a barb. Fits nicely with our hex nut. You may also need a neoprene washer.

Screw-in tap for use with Handcraft Supplies 30L Wide Mouth Fermenter. Simply screw the tap in the pre-drilled hole at the bottom of the fermenter before filling the fermenter with your ingredients. Mangrove Jack's Silicone Hose 100mm is required to connect the tap to a brew bottler. Not compatible with sediment reducer.

The MFL Tap Shank Adapter is what you need to connect your draft tap directly to your MFL disconnect. These allow you to make a very compact portable setup.

We recommend using one of the Flow Control Nukatap with this adapter as this provides some restriction of the flow but they will also work with Intertap, Nukatap and other brands of taps. A nylon washer is also recommended between the disconnect and the shank adapter.

Please bear in mind that due to the compact size there is not enough space to accommodate an auto spring return so it is not compatible that setup.

Note: does not include tap or disconnect.

Temp Twister Pump Kit with Return Line and Clamp.

If a glycol chiller is a bit out of reach at the moment, but you want to use the Temp Twister in your Kegmenter or FermZilla, this little product can help you on your way to cool your fermenter. Simply submerge the pump in a large bucket with water and ice.

The more insulation you give your fermenter and keep it at a relatively stable temperature the better. We suggest using this in conjunction with a temperature controller.

Parts List:
1 x 1.2m Length of Insulated 6mm x 9mm EVABarrier Hose
1 x 1.2m Length of 6mm x 9.5mm hose (return line back to the bucket) (colour may vary)
2 x 9.5mm duotight Elbows (For temp twister)
1 x Temp Twister 12v Pump and power supply

The Smoked Bee has a wonderful sweet floral smokey aroma and flavour sitting on top of layers of light toasty, nutty, caramel and toffee aromas and flavours with hints of dark fruits. It has a beautiful deep red brown colour and finishes medium dry.

Don’t let the deep red brown colour fool you. This is a great summer bbq beer.

Yeast is not included in the kit. We recommend using Froth Buddy (Assumed Origin: Sierra Nevada), or Lallemand's BRY-97 West Coast Ale Yeast. You could also try Safale US-05, Lallemand Nottingham High Performance Ale Yeast, or Mangrove Jack's West Coast Yeast.

You will also require 500g of honey to make this beer. We recommend using a honey with full rich flavour such as bush honey.

A stainless steel, 1/2" thread, weldless thermowell (takes any probe up to 7mm ID).

This thermowell works great with any kegmenter, keggle, brew pot, boiler and various other brewery hardware to get an accurate core temperature of your vessles.

This thermowell has a 7mm bore, so it's ideally suited to any probe type up to 7mm.  Most probes are 6.5mm or smaller in diameter meaning they will fit nicely into this well.  It's ideal for the RAPT Temperature controllers.

This is a weld free design so all you need to do is drill a 20mm hole and file this out a fraction and this will go right into the hole with no welding required.  The threads have been designed to be sanitary so you just screw it against your vessel wall and none of the threads will be exposed to liquid. The soft silicon seals will seal against curved surfaces of your pots and other vessels.

If you want to make a really smooth hole easily in your vessel walls we recommend the use of a step drill bit and 20mm hole punch.

Length: approx. 100mm

A 1.5" tri-clamp thermowell fitting from Krome Dispense that is approx. 15cm long.

- 304 Stainless Steel
- Approx. 15cm thermowell

Does not include tri-clamp clamp or gasket.

From: Krome Dispense

This thermowell fits into any 8mm Hole and can literally be installed into almost any fermenter lid.

Having the thermowell attach to the lid of a fermenter is ideal as it means the penetration through the fermenter body is at the top of the fermenter not below the liquid line. This makes the whole process more sanitary and reduces the number of difficult parts to clean.

This thermowell can be pushed through a bung with a 6-8mm hole but it also includes the Duotight bulkhead fitting that you can use to attach this thermowell to the lid of your FermZilla Fermenter.

It goes right into the middle of the core of your vessel meaning you get an accurate core reading of the liquid in the tank/vessel.

Note: If you need to shorten the length of this thermowell tube then simply use a tube cutter to the desired length.

Made from: 304 stainless steel
Dimensions: 8mm OD x 7mm ID

Thread seal tape (also known as PTFE tape or plumber's tape) is a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) film tape commonly used in plumbing for sealing pipe threads. 

Thread seal tape lubricates allowing for a deeper seating of the threads, and it helps prevent the threads from seizing when being unscrewed. The tape also works as a deformable filler and thread lubricant, helping to seal the joint without hardening or making it more difficult to tighten, and instead making it easier to tighten.

Typically the tape is wrapped around a pipe's thread three times before it is screwed into place.
