Sour beers date back to eighteenth-century Belgium. However, there is a hot debate on which came first: using Brettanomyces yeast to create tart and funky flavours, or poor sanitation and a poor understanding of bacteria. One thing we can all agree on is that sour beers are some of the most interesting combinations on the market. Our juicy, fruity, raspberry sour beer provides the perfect combination of refreshing and punchy notes, with a slight sourness. The perfect lip tingler that you can’t put down! Makes 35 pints of approx. 5% ABV beer.

Requires the addition of 1kg Brick Road Extra Light DME or 1kg dextrose. 

Product Details

In 1841, Anton Dreher became the “King of Beer” when he revolutionised brewing by combining lightly kilned (Vienna) malt with lager yeast. In doing so, he introduced a toasted, clean, and crisp beer that would grow to become one of the most popular beer styles across the continent. Our version: MaltZeit is made with 100% Vienna Malt, keeping it as true as possible to Anton’s vision for the style almost 200 years ago. It’s smooth, malty, and slightly toasted notes provide a crisp European lager enhanced by the included 30g Hallertau dry hops pellets. Makes 35 pints of approx. 5% ABV lager.

Requires the addition of 1kg Brick Road Extra Light DME or 1kg dextrose.

Breeding:

Nelson Sauvin Brand 85-03-06 is a triploid variety bred from the New Zealand variety Smoothcone and a selected New Zealand male. Developed by New Zealand's Plant & Food Research and released in 2000, the essential oil profile displays characteristics of fresh crushed gooseberries a descriptor often used for the grape variety Sauvignon Blanc, giving rise to this variety's name.

Selection:

Described during selection as breathtaking Nelson Sauvin has the unique ability to impart a distinctive cool climate white wine fruitiness. The complexity of the oils profile has seen selectors stretched looking for descriptors to document this unique new world variety.

Brewing:

A hop that may require judicious application in the brew house, this truly unique dual-purpose variety can be used to produce big punchy Ales as well as subtle aroma driven Lagers. The fruitiness may be a little overpowering for the un-initiated, however those with a penchant for bold hop character will find several applications for this true brewer's hop.

'The quintessential New Zealand hop'

Applications:

Very much at home in the new-world styles such as American Pale Ale and IPAs. This hop is considered by some as being extreme and it certainly makes it presence felt in speciality craft and seasonal beers while having gained a considerable international reputation in recent times.

Nukatap - the latest in beer dispensing tap technology. This is the Flow Control model - looking for the non-flow control Nukatap?

What makes the Nukatap different among the other manufactured styles of taps on the market?
- First Pour Foam Reduction in Thermal Mass
- Improved Laminar Flow
- Most Sanitary Forward Sealing Design Design
- Longer Life Seals
- More Versatile Tap Handle Angle

First Pour Foam Reduction
The reduction in thermal mass significantly reduces the first pour foam effect. The tap is often the warmest part of the draft system as it protrudes from the font/tower/fridge. As a result, it acts like a heat sink and only works well once enough cold beer flows through it to cool the tap body down. This reduction of thermal mass significantly improves the foam that is poured while the tap is cooling down.

Laminar Flow
The Nukashuttle design is the world’s first seamless shuttle. After many months of modelling and testing this new "Nuke" shaped shuttle design has the most fluid dynamic shuttle shape ever manufactured for a forward sealing tap. The streamline "nuke/missile" shape is how this new innovation earned its name "Nukatap". This leap forward in laminar flow means even highly carbonated beers pour like a dream with minimal turbulence and giving you the perfect pour every time.

Most Sanitary Design
The Nukashuttle is the world’s first seamless single-piece design. Traditional taps have a seal that is seated on a stainless-steel body creating small fissures that harbour solids, are potential sites for infection, and are not as ideal for clean in place (CIP). The Nukashuttle is an advanced TPV rubber matrix that been seamlessly formed over a durable PP skeleton. This single-piece design takes away the traditional fissures found in older manufacturing methods.

Long Life Seals
Unlike many other taps that use rubbers that can be degraded with caustic and acid compounds, the Nukatap has been made to suit a wide range of conditions. It's becoming more common to see sour beers/kombucha and other acetic and lactic acid beverages dispensed using draft systems. These acids, in particular, could cause an attack on the sealing compounds resulting in downtime, loss of product and reduced maintenance intervals. The Nukatap solves this problem and is the most chemically resistant tap we have ever manufactured. Unlike some older tap styles that have "metal on metal" rubbing components that can wear over time and have a "raspy feel" the Nukatap has been manufactured with a smooth gliding action that guarantees the longevity of the tap components. The TPV rubber matrix shuttle is also one of the most durable sealing mechanisms that can tolerate large amounts of leverage force from long tap handles that would otherwise traditionally degrade the seals in other tap designs. Other forward sealing designs exist but nothing with the same level of reliability. It’s easy to find other “perl” forward sealing design taps however these taps use a floating o-ring design which by all means is equally as sanitary however the floating o-ring requires the o-ring to move within the tap body to seal correctly. This movement is typically a problem as the tap ages and/or is not serviced regularly. The Nukatap bypasses this seal as the entire Nukashuttle is a single sealing piece.

Tap Handle Angle - 2.5degree Reverse Angle
The Nukataps have been manufactured with a 2.5 degree reverse angle. This allows for a wider range of taps handles to be used, in particular, long and/or heavy handles to work perfectly irrespective of the installation conditions.

Forward Sealing Design
Just like the Intertap and its predecessors, the Nukatap shuts off the flow at the front of the tap which in turn keeps wild yeast and bacteria out of the interior of the tap body.

What does Rear Sealing Design Mean?
Typically most beer taps use a rear sealing design and the beer in the tap drains from the body of the tap with the help from a vent hole drilled at the front of the tap. This drainage hole is a dark and wet cavity and is an ideal place for airborne bacteria and wild yeast to reproduce leaving a foul film that deteriorates the quality of your beer. Every time the faucet is opened contamination can occur.

- Stout Spout
- Ball Lock Post Spout

 Nukatap Mini - Mini Design - Ideal Flow Rate for Small Systems

Most conventional beer taps are designed with a 10mm diameter nozzle/spout so you can pour pint in just over 10 seconds. This type of flow rate is great for high turnover bars and commercial venues but this high flow rate requirement is not not necessary or desirable for all applications.  For compact portable systems, or for home brew draft systems, a slower flow rate is easier to control the flow and further reduces foaming issues due to the low liquid volume stored in the tap body. 

This Nukatap mini is also more ideal for pouring smaller doses.  For example cocktails where 150-250ml of liquid is dispensed is difficult to control with a high flow rate tap.  For portable systems this tap and FC ball lock disconnect assembly is small enough to literally put in your pocket making it ideal for mini keg setups that you want to be portable or that you want to easily fit inside a domestic fridge where space is tight.

Forward Sealing
Forward sealing taps are absolutely the way to go when it comes to beer taps.  The issue with rear sealing taps is that beer dries up on the tap piston.  This is not sanitary and as more and more beer dries up in these components the tap can almost glue complete shut causing damaged seals or broken handles (this is particularly the case if it's left for some time to dry out with beer inside).  These older legacy design still exist probably due to poor education.  The forward sealing design do not have this problem and the tap drains out completely with no beer drying up on the mechanical moving parts in the same way. This makes the tap more sanitary and reduced maintenance.  In may instances the price is similar so there is no reason to use a poorly designed rear sealing tap.  All Nukatap taps are forward sealing.

Laminar Flow
Just like the Nuktap SS and Nukatap FC, the Nukatap Mini has been designed with laminar flow in mind.  Laminar flow is critical for a beer tap as it means you will pour the beer with minimal foaming and a substantial reduction in wastage.  Think about how many times a beer tap opens and closes in it's lifetime - 1000 or maybe 10,000 times?  Laminar flow saves wasted beer in excessive foam and the better laminar flow easily pays for itself in a reduction in lost beer.  Extensive modeling has been done on this Nukatap design to improve laminar flow.

Integrated Seals that are Indestructible and more Sanitary
Unlike other designs, the Nukatap Mini body is made from POK making it strong, robust and able to be autoclaved.  The seals are also over-molded from Santoprene® making them hard wearing so they will literally last for the lifetime of the tap without the need for replacement. Santoprene® and POK both have excellent resistance to chemicals such as caustic soda, peroxide, phosphoric acid, lactic acid, citric acid, acetic acid, and all common chemicals sold and used in the beverage industry.  The seals internally in are over-molded meaning NO fissures or cracks exist for bacteria, crud or yeast to hide.

Superior First Pour Foam Due to Low Thermal Mass and Conductivity
First pour foam is an issue caused by a warm tap body. For most taps to pour well it's important to dispense enough beer to cool the tap body down before the tap will pour well.  In addition to this the conductivity of the tab body also makes this worse so insulative materials simply work better than conductive materials.  The Nukatap mini not only has very low thermal mass but is also highly insulative being made mostly from Santoprene and POK.  The combination of these two factors in conjunction with superior laminar flow makes for the lowest "first pour foam" effect out of any tap ever produced. 

Long Shank Alternative (Sold separately in Duotight design)
Most conventional beer taps require a large 22mm hole to be drilled through the wall of your keezer/cooler/wall.  Traditional long shanks also generally have a large volume of liquid that sits inside the wall unrefrigerated which is not ideal.  This new long shank alternative is designed to suit any wall thickness and greatly reduces the stagnant beer sitting in the shank itself.  For walls up to 80mm thick we have provided three screws however if the wall is thicker you can also use 6 small wood screws or something similar and attach three screws from the front and 3 from the back allowing you to go into any wall type.

Another advantage of this new design is the tap will never accidentally rotate.  Typically other long shank beer taps rely on the hex nut on the shank to be done up tight enough to prevent rotation but if the wall compresses (often the case with foam walls) the tap is allowed to rotate.  This new design has three fixing points making it impossible for the tap to rotate accidentally as the interlocking teeth behind the collet allow you to set the angle and then do up the collet to fix the tap permanently in that position.

NukaTap Mini - Wall Mount Shank Kit (Duotight 8mm).

This shank kit is specifically designed to suit the Nukatap Mini taps and will allow you to connect the Nukatap Mini to a cooler box, kegerator, keg fridge, coolroom wall or any other flat surface.

New Innovative Shank Design
Unlike other shank kits this shank kit doesn't use a bulky 5/8" bar stock. The issue with 5/8 bar stock is it acts as a heat sink and due to the fact that most other shanks sit inside the insulated wall this results in a substantial amount of warm beer coming out of the tap before cold beer starts flowing. This means a "first pour foam" effect which wastes beer, can result in sour beer, and ultimately negatively effects the quality of the beverages being served. This new design has the beer line feed all the way directly up to the back of the tap greatly reducing the volume of non-refrigerated beer.

No Spinning Shanks
If you have ever installed a traditional 5/8" long shank you will know how frustrating it is when you use the tap and the tap starts rotating. This new design of shank alternative uses three screws that lock the tap into a fixed position and prevents the taps from rotating. If you loosen the 1/2" stainless tap collet you can still have the flexibility to rotate the tap to any orientation but once the collet is tight interlocking teeth on this shank kit and the Nukatap Mini will hold the tap permanently in the correct orientation.

Easy Installation
Unlike other long shank kits, this kit doesn't require large 22mm hole saw to be used to drill through the wall. As no shank is required, only a hole large enough to accommodate the beer line is required. As a result only an 8mm conventional drill bit is all that is necessary and this makes the installation easier. If, however, you are concerned about the small amount of beer sitting in the beer line in the wall not being refrigerated you can also shell out a larger diameter of foam on the inside of the wall to allow cold air to circulate around the beer line thus reducing the non-refrigerated beer in the line even more. If you wanted to do this a Step Drill Bit is the best tool for the job.

Any Wall Thickness
Other shank kits will require you to purchase a specific length shank for a specific wall thickness. This new shank alternative will fit any wall thickness. If you have wall thicknesses that are less than 80mm thick then you can use the included screws that have "snap off" points so you can simply cut the screws down to the desired length. If, however, the wall is thicker than 80mm you can simply purchase a conventional screw from the hardware store and screw the shank kit to your wall. If the substrate is firm enough you may not even need to go all the way through the wall, so a common 30mm long screw may be all that is required.

Nukatap - the latest in beer dispensing tap technology. Now available in black with stainless spout.

What makes the Nukatap different among the other manufactured styles of taps on the market?
- First Pour Foam Reduction in Thermal Mass
- Improved Laminar Flow
- Most Sanitary Forward Sealing Design Design
- Longer Life Seals
- Move Versatile Tap Handle Angle

First Pour Foam Reduction
The reduction in thermal mass significantly reduces the first pour foam effect. The tap is often the warmest part of the draft system as it protrudes from the font/tower/fridge. As a result, it acts like a heat sink and only works well once enough cold beer flows through it to cool the tap body down. This reduction of thermal mass significantly improves the foam that is poured while the tap is cooling down.

Laminar Flow
The Nukashuttle design is the world’s first seamless shuttle. After many months of modelling and testing this new "Nuke" shaped shuttle design has the most fluid dynamic shuttle shape ever manufactured for a forward sealing tap. The streamline "nuke/missile" shape is how this new innovation earned its name "Nukatap". This leap forward in laminar flow means even highly carbonated beers pour like a dream with minimal turbulence and giving you the perfect pour every time.

Most Sanitary Design
The Nukashuttle is the world’s first seamless single-piece design. Traditional taps have a seal that is seated on a stainless-steel body creating small fissures that harbour solids, are potential sites for infection, and are not as ideal for clean in place (CIP). The Nukashuttle is an advanced TPV rubber matrix that been seamlessly formed over a durable PP skeleton. This single-piece design takes away the traditional fissures found in older manufacturing methods.

Long Life Seals
Unlike many other taps that use rubbers that can be degraded with caustic and acid compounds, the Nukatap has been made to suit a wide range of conditions. It's becoming more common to see sour beers/kombucha and other acetic and lactic acid beverages dispensed using draft systems. These acids, in particular, could cause an attack on the sealing compounds resulting in downtime, loss of product and reduced maintenance intervals. The Nukatap solves this problem and is the most chemically resistant tap we have ever manufactured. Unlike some older tap styles that have "metal on metal" rubbing components that can wear over time and have a "raspy feel" the Nukatap has been manufactured with a smooth gliding action that guarantees the longevity of the tap components. The TPV rubber matrix shuttle is also one of the most durable sealing mechanisms that can tolerate large amounts of leverage force from long tap handles that would otherwise traditionally degrade the seals in other tap designs. Other forward sealing designs exist but nothing with the same level of reliability. It’s easy to find other “perl” forward sealing design taps however these taps use a floating o-ring design which by all means is equally as sanitary however the floating o-ring requires the o-ring to move within the tap body to seal correctly. This movement is typically a problem as the tap ages and/or is not serviced regularly. The Nukatap bypasses this seal as the entire Nukashuttle is a single sealing piece.

Tap Handle Angle - 2.5degree Reverse Angle
The Nukataps have been manufactured with a 2.5 degree reverse angle. This allows for a wider range of taps handles to be used, in particular, long and/or heavy handles to work perfectly irrespective of the installation conditions.

Forward Sealing Design
Just like the Intertap and its predecessors, the Nukatap shuts off the flow at the front of the tap which in turn keeps wild yeast and bacteria out of the interior of the tap body.

What does Rear Sealing Design Mean?
Typically most beer taps use a rear sealing design and the beer in the tap drains from the body of the tap with the help from a vent hole drilled at the front of the tap. This drainage hole is a dark and wet cavity and is an ideal place for airborne bacteria and wild yeast to reproduce leaving a foul film that deteriorates the quality of your beer. Every time the faucet is opened contamination can occur.

Pacific Jade™ 2024 Harvest

Batch: 24-243

Alpha: 13.57%

Beta: 7.94%

A soft bittering / dual purpose hop with fresh citrus and complex spice characters

Breeding:

NZ Pacific Jade Brand HORT1524 is a triploid alpha type developed by the cross of the NZ variety "First Choice" (a relative of the Late Cluster) and an Old Line Saazer Male. Released from the New Zealand Hop Research Programme by HortReasearch Centre Riwaka in 2004.

Selection:

Selected on its average alpha of 12-14% with Cohumulone in the region of 24% and an excellent oils profile. The aroma of this hop is described as bold as it delivers a herbal infusion of fresh citrus and crushed black pepper.

Brewing:

Suited for use as a bittering hop with some excellent results also being seen in dual purpose applications, with a soft bitterness attributable to the low cohumulone. The citrus aroma and flavour notes work well to temper malt sweetness in fullish Ales especially as a finishing hop.

'Great versatility in the Brewhouse'

Applications:

Typically to replace less interesting Alpha varieties where a softer bitterness and higher oil profile is desired. NZ Pacific Jade exemplifies current market direction and what is being achieved in the New Zealand Hops breeding programme.

Pacific Jade™ 2025 Harvest

Batch: 25-233

Alpha: 14.20%

Beta: 7.90%

NZ Southern Cross 2024 Harvest

Batch: 24-104

Alpha: 13.91%

Beta: 5.8%

A dual purpose / soft bittering hop with a citrus lemon zest character with hints of pine

Breeding:

NZ Southern Cross is a triploid cross between the New Zealand variety Smoothcone and a 1950's research variety bred from a crossing of an early North American type known as the Cali (short for Californian) with the ubiquitous English Fuggle. Released from New Zealand's Hort Research hop breeding programme at Riwaka in 1994.

Selection:

The aroma is characterised by a heady mix of lemon peel and pine needles layered beneath a clean spiciness during selection. NZ Southern Cross has an excellent essential oil profile and low Cohumulone while producing consistent levels of alpha acid.

Brewing:

A kettle variety of the highest order NZ Southern Cross imparts a soft bitterness with a subtle resinous quality. The essential oil component is such that it can deliver a delicate balance of citrus and spice when added at the end of boil or a much bigger punch in the hop back or direct to the fermenter.

'A hop with many talent'

Applications:

Alpha Acids and Total Oil matched with low cohumulone find this extraordinary hop several applications, single or multi-purpose to achieve subtle citrusy lager to big fruity driven ales.
