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.

Compatible with Intertap and Nukatap accessories:
- Auto-Close Spring

The ATF Schwarzbier (black beer) is a light bodied lager beer with a mild roast character. An easy drinking beer with aromas of chocolate of coffee blending with a light noble hop aroma.

Yeast is not included in the kit. If fermenting cold we recommend using Fermentis SafLager W-34/70 or Lallemand Diamond Lager Yeast.

If fermenting warm we recommend using Fermentis SafLager W-34/70 or Mangrove Jack's Californian Lager Yeast.

Mangrove Jack's Californian Lager Yeast

Mangrove Jack's Californian Lager yeast is a unique lager strain that has the ability to ferment at ale temperatures and still provide a typical lager flavour profile. 

Fermentis SafLager W-34/70

Sensory testing performed by Fermentis on W-34/70 shows that it is a very robust yeast capable of providing a clean neutral flavour profile across a wide range of fermentation temperatures (12℃ - 20℃). Click here to download the Fermentis iPhone app for more information. 

With the aroma of sweet crema brewed from freshly roasted coffee on top of subtle chocolate and nutty dark fruit caramel flavours, the ATF Velveteen Stout is a revelation.

Unlike a traditional dry stout, the ATF Velveteen Stout has no acrid bitterness or astringency from the use of large amounts of traditional dark malts.

It has a full malt backbone and a creamy velvety mouthful with sufficient hop bitterness to ensure it isn’t too sweet and leave you wanting more.

Yeast is not included in the kit. We recommend using Froth Rudeboy (Assumed Origin: Youngs Brewery) or Mangrove Jack's Empire Ale yeast. You could also try Mangrove Jack's Liberty Bell yeast.

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.

Roggenbier translates to “Rye Beer”. It is typically 50% Rye malt giving it a characteristic grainy spicy character, which is completed by the classic weizen yeast tartness, spicy clove phenolics and fruity banana esters. With hints of dark stone fruit and caramel flavours it is great Autumn and Winter wheat beer, but due to its medium dry to dry finish it is drinkable all year round.

Yeast is not included in the kit. We recommend using Lalbrew Munich Classic or Mangrove Jack's Bavarian Wheat yeast.

Note on Rye Malt

Rye malt contains a high amount of beta glucan, which increases wort viscosity and may slow runoff during lautering and sparging, and potentially cause a stuck sparge.

A mash rest at 40℃, sometimes called a Beta Glucanase rest, can help to break down the beta glucan in the wort and reduce the risk of a stuck sparge.

As added insurance this recipe includes oat hulls in the mash. The oat hulls do not add any fermentables, but improve the filter bed of the mash to reduce the risk of a stuck sparge.

Brought back from obscurity by Pierre Celis at the Hoegaarden brewery, Witbier is a great refreshing beer. With plenty of un-malted wheat along with a portion of oats, Witbier is typically cloudy with a soft grainy sweetness. Belgian Wit Yeast adds subtle banana fruitiness and clove notes, which are enhanced through the addition of coriander seeds and fresh orange yeast.

In addition to what is included in the kit you will need 12g of coriander seed and 45g of orange zest (or the zest of your favourite citrus fruit).

Yeast is not included in the kit. We recommend using Froth Unicorn (Assumed Origin: Hoegaarden), or you could use Lallemand Lalbrew Wit or Mangrove Jack's Belgian Wit Yeast.
