ATF Sabrodaze will leave you in a tropical hoppy daze. Loaded with Sabro (12.5g/L in the boil & approx. 13.6g/L in the dry hop) it has a wonderful tropical fruit aroma with pineapple to the fore and hints coconut in the background with a soft, almost creamy mouthfeel.

Yeast is not included in the kit. We recommend using Froth Vape (Assumed Origin: Boddington’s) to produce a juicy hazy with a silky mouthfeel and great hop aroma and flavour.

Alternatively we recommend using Verdant IPA. Lallemand’s Verdant IPA yeast. LalBrew Verdant IPA yeast will produce fruity esters and is well suited to NEIPA’s. Verdant IPA yeast expresses high amounts of β-lyase enzyme promoting biotransformation accentuating hop flavour and aroma. and also produces high amounts of glycerol producing a beer with a silky mouthfeel.

You could also try Froth Spectra (Assumed Origin: Unknown (London)).Spectra can produce a spectrum of radiant flavour & aroma while exhibiting an elegant ester profile and velvety mouthfeel.

Alternatively you could use Lallemand's New England yeast. Lallemand New England produces beers with a unique fruit forward ester profile, which is sought after in NEIPA's. Through expression of a β-glucosidase enzyme, LalBrew® New England can promote hop biotransformation and accentuate hop flavour and aroma.

Please Note: Kettle finings are not provided with this kit as beer clarity is not required for this style of beer.

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.

Compatible with Intertap and Nukatap accessories:
- Stout Spout
- Ball Lock Post Spout
- Growler Spout

Big tropical and citrus fruit aromas come from the Citra, Taiheke, and Motueka hops, combining with light malts give this Pacific Ale a super-drinkable palate. Brick Road Pacific Pale Ale malt is already hopped to the perfect level. Just add Brick road Extra Light malt and the hops. 

Cryo Hops® pellets are the concentrated lupulin of whole-leaf hops containing resins and aromatic oils. It is designed to provide intense hop flavour and aroma, enabling brewers to efficiently dose large quantities of alpha acids and oils without introducing astringent flavours or vegetative material. Cryo Hops® pellets can be utilised anywhere whole-leaf hops and hop pellets are traditionally applied. 

Dosage rate: We recommend a dosage rate of Cryo Hops pellets of 40-50% of T-90 hop pellets by weight.

CHIEF ADVANTAGES

• Nearly twice the resin content of traditional T-90 hop pellets
• Intense contribution of hop flavour and aroma
• Reduced grassy and vegetal characteristics
• Increased yield through reduced brewhouse trub

 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.

Other Accessories (Sold Separately)
Nukatap Mini - Wall Mount Shank Kit - duotight 8mm (5/16")
Nukatap Mini - Self Closing Tap Spring
Nukatap Mini - duotight adaptor - 8mm (5/16")
Flow Control Ball Lock Disconnect

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.

Superdelic Cryo

Batch: 25-114

Alpha: 23.4%

Beta: 8.50%

The unique oil chemistry profile of this hop produces unique flavours and aromas of Red Fruit, Candy/ Lolly, Citrus, and Tropical Fruit.

Breeding

Superdelic™ (Trial Hop • NZH-102) is a triploid variety (cultivar) that was crossed by Dr. Ron Beatson in 2012 through our partnership breeding program with Plant and Food Research. 

Having performed well in the small plot trials and showing sensory attributes of red fruit in early brewing trials it was fast tracked by our Grower Committee to the NZ Hops trial hop farm in 2017. It exhibited great performance in the field with a vigorous growth pattern, resistance to mite damage, and high yield.

Selection

This exceptional hop is a playful number, with red fruit, candy, citrus and tropical fruit characteristics, offering brewers something totally different to use in their craft.

Brewing

In a Hazy IPA it revealed its ripe mango, sweet berry, and citrus notes. We also noticed its unique performance, with great biotransformation properties from dry hopping during active fermentation. It is an incredible addition to our brewery. We were lucky to be one of the first to try it.” says Mike Sutherland, Director at Sawmill Brewery.

Applications

A versatile hop that can be used as a single hop addition and has great synergies in combination with other hops. Pairs well with Citra, Simcoe, Nelson Sauvin, Motueka and Riwaka.

Cryo Hops® pellets are the concentrated lupulin of whole-leaf hops containing resins and aromatic oils. It is designed to provide intense hop flavour and aroma, enabling brewers to efficiently dose large quantities of alpha acids and oils without introducing astringent flavours or vegetative material.

Pacifica 2025 

Batch: 25-006

Alpha: 5.80%

Beta: 6.10%

A dual purpose / bittering hop with a spicy “dried fruit” character and solid finish. 

Breeding:

A triploid aroma type developed through by New Zealand’s Plant & Food Research. Pacifica™ Brand 77-01 was bred through the open pollination of the highly regarded Hallertauer Mittlefru¨h variety. Pacifica™ was released on completion of successful brewing trials in 1994.

Selection:

Pacifica™ displays classic Hallertau citrus and floral aroma character which selectors mark as a real standout. The aroma is supported by a generous oils profile making selection possible for several beer styles from this stylish hop.

Brewing:

Pacifica™ brings something of a blend of new and old-world taste descriptors to the brewers' forum. Orange marmalade aptly describes the citrus aroma notes achieved through late addition. Bittering quality is such that early kettle additions net a soft yet solid finish even in highly bittered beers.

Applications:

Finds application where a higher oil concentration and proportion of Linalool are required to impact on how the hop character integrates into the final product. Ideally suited to traditional German lager styles and finding wider application to a new generation through the international craft market’s insatiable thirst for Pale Ale.

Full bodied with a touch of sweetness. Just add this to a neutral spirit or vodka for a taste experience inspired by a top shelf spirit.

Bursting with juicy pineapple and tropical notes, this dual-purpose hop has been featured in many great beers since its release in 2010. Big Alpha Acids (13-17%) make this an effective and efficient bittering hop, but can be used in late additions to maximise the fresh, fruity aroma and flavour. El Dorado® is an exceptional new dual-purpose hop with both high Alpha Acid and intense flavours and aromas. As a bittering hop, El Dorado® lends a firm but balanced bitterness. When used in later additions, El Dorado® brings bright tropical fruit flavours and aromas of pineapple, pear, watermelon, and stone fruit.

AROMA PROFILE: CITRUS, STONE FRUIT, TROPICAL, WOODY

Loral has a noble heritage that straddles the fence between old and new world hop aromatics. Floral notes are accentuated yet complemented nicely by fruity and citrus notes with just a hint of herbal. It has the ability to complement all beer styles, making it a very versatile hop in the brewery. Great for distinctive IPAs and pale ales but perfect for sessionable and lager-style beers.

AROMA PROFILE: CITRUS, FLORAL, HERBAL, LEMON, TROPICAL

Developed by the USDA breeding program in Washington State and released in 1985 as a high alpha bittering variety, Chinook is a cross between Petham Golding and a USDA male. In recent years, it has found favour as a dual purpose hop in the craft brewing community as a result of its spice and pine aroma characteristics.

It works well at any stage of the boil and in the dry hop and works particularly well in American Pale Ales (APA) and IPA's, but can be used in many styles. 

Chinook feature in Stone’s Arrogant Bastard and in addition to Cascade and Centennial in Sierra Nevada’s Celebration Ale – a beer famous for its piney, citrusy character. 

AROMA PROFILE: GRAPEFRUIT, PINE, SPICY

Packed with hops, the ATF Ninkasi’s Nectar imparts wave after wave of hop flavour.
Citrussy and fruity, earthy, herbal/dank, floral, and piney on top of a solid malt base with a light biscuity dryness sufficient to carry the hops and not get in the way. The bitterness is firm and palate cleansing whilst not being overpowering.

Yeast is not included in the kit. We recommend using Mangrove Jack's New World Strong yeast or Lallemand's Nottingham High Performance Ale yeast.

The ATF Belgian Saison is a refreshingly golden coloured ale that is wonderfully fruity and spicy. Often bottle conditioned and highly carbonated it is a great summer beer.

Yeast is not included with the kit. We recommend using Fermentis SafAle BE-134 or Lallemand Belle Saison.

Alternatively you could use Froth Wilding to create a unique New Zealand Saison.
