Increases the mouthfeel of your beer and improves it's head. This premium malt has been spray-dried into a fine soluble powder. Spray drying preserves all the flavour & does not darken the malt. Spraymalt is produced by atomizing malt into tiny droplets and then rapid drying. Use in place of sugar or dextrose.
Lightly malted blend of brewing sugars adding flavour to any regular beer kit. Speeds fermentation start. Improves mouthfeel and aids head formation and retention.

Mangrove Jack’s Gold Crown Seals are designed to fit standard crown beer bottles perfectly. Use them with a capping tool to ensure a secure and professional seal for your brews.
Easily attach to the Grainfather Conical Fermenter, for a clean and simple way to transfer your beer without the need to lift the fermenter to perform a gravity fed transfer. This also ensures less chance of oxygen entering the beer during transfer.
All you need is a C02 bottle and a regulator to attach to the Pressure Transfer and you can transfer your beer into a keg or bottles through the Conical Fermenter Dual Valve Tap or via the top of the fermenter lid using the Beer Racking Pipe.
NOTE: Batteries are not included for the Pressure Gauge. 2 x AAA batteries are needed.

High quality 304 stainless steel components
Accurate digital pressure gauge
Needle valve for precise control of pressure
This longer version of the standard Conical Fermenter Dual Valve inlet provides increased clearance above the sediment line for clear, sediment free sampling and racking of your beer.
This is best to be used when you have an increased trub level i.e. if you are fermenting fruit beers or brews with a large quantity of dry hops.
Specifications
304 stainless steel
160 mm (6.3")
Dual Valve Tap with 110 mm (4.3”) liquid inlet for the Grainfather conical fermenter.Make the yeast dumping, transferring and sampling process more professional with this innovative all in one valve. Sampling and transferring is done through a valve above the sediment line, allowing for clear, sediment free beer. Collect your yeast from below the sediment line for recultivating and pitching.

Can be completely disassembled for thorough cleaning
The Grainfather digital Temperature Controller replaces the temperature display. With this you can control the heating and the cooling (if you have the Grainfather Glycol Chiller) of your fermenter by dialing in a temperature or even setting a temperature schedule (can set up to 5 stages). This snaps on easily via magnets and pogo pins with no extra cords or clutter.
Specifications
Control the heating element and Glycol Chiller (available separately)
Choose between imperial and metric (C° & F°)
Total of 4 fermentation profiles with up to 5 steps each (2 are pre-set for a lager and an ale, 2 are custom)
Hysteresis is customisable and able to be set at 0.1 intervals between a range of 0.1°C – 1.9°C & 0.2°F - 2.9°F (the default setting is 0.5°C)
Temperature control is one of the most crucial elements for producing a good quality beer. It needs to be regulated and stable throughout the whole fermentation process to ensure the yeast doesn't get stressed and ferments correctly to get the right flavour profile.
To be able to cool with the Grainfather Conical Fermenter, you need to have the Conical Fermenter Temperature Controller. Then once your target temperature is below the temperature of the wort in your fermenter the Cooling Pump Kit pumps ice cold water through the double walled insulated interior to cool down your wort.
Simply connect the couplers and insulated hoses to the Conical Fermenter, submerge the submersible pump into a cooler box with water (add ice for your required temperature) and pump the liquid through the insulated cooling sleeve of the Conical Fermenter body.
Whats Included
Conical Fermenter Cooling Pump (submersible)
T-section power connector
2 x brass couplers

A refractometer is used to test sugar concentrations in a solution. When light passes through a liquid it bends at an angle. Depending on the density of the liquid, this angle becomes more or less pronounced. Refractometers work using this property and translate this shifted angle of refracted light to fall on a graduated Brix chart that is viewable in the eyepiece.
When brewing a refractometer allows you to take instant gravity measurements during mash, run-off, or during the boil. A valuable tool for all grain and extract brewers alike.
As the density of wort is not the same as a sugar water solution you may wish to calibrate your refractometer when measuring wort. Click here for more information on how to do this.
When making wine a refractometer makes it very easy to measure the sugar levels at the crush or of your must.
Using a Refractometer:
To use, apply 2-3 drops to the prism face, close the cover and wait 30 seconds. Look through the eye-piece - the line on the screen will show the Brix % and Specific Gravity reading.
Calibrate the unit to 0.0 Brix before use with distilled water.
This model comes with ATC (Automatic Temperature Compensation) allowing you to use the refractometer between 10 / 30 degrees Celsius so the temperature of the sample is irrelevant.
Comes with:
- Carry case
- Pipette
- Calibration Screw Driver
Note: This tool is used to measure unfermented wort. Once alcohol is present in the wort, the use of a correction table is advised. It is possible to use a calculator to convert the reading, however it may not be as accurate as a hydrometer reading.

Bottom fermenting yeast originating from Berlin (Germany) recommended for the production of fruity and estery lagers. Its lower attenuation profile gives beers with a good length on the palate.
FERMENTATION: ideally 12-15℃
REHYDRATION INSTRUCTIONS:
Sprinkle the yeast in minimum 10 times its weight of sterile water or wort at 21 to 25 °C (70°F to 77°F). Leave to rest 15 to 30 minutes. Gently stir for 30 minutes, and pitch the resultant cream into the fermentation vessel.
Alternatively, pitch the yeast directly in the fermentation vessel providing the temperature of the wort is above 20°C (68°F). Progressively sprinkle the dry yeast into the wort ensuring the yeast covers all the surface of wort available in order to avoid clumps. Leave for 30 minutes, then mix the wort using aeration or by wort addition.
Refer to the technical data sheet for more information.
