Yeast Energizer is a powerful yeast booster for a faster and more complete fermentation in beer, wine and cider. It not only provides vital nutrients and yeast food, but it also contains yeast hulls, or yeast ghosts, which possess the amazing ability to re-start ‘stuck fermentations’. The use of yeast energizer is important in not only treating stuck fermentations but to also prevent them especially in undesirable fermentation conditions.

A blend of the primary acids found naturally in grapes and other fruits (citric, malic and tartaric acids). Acid blend can be added to beer, wine or cider for various applications. Acids are an important part of the fermentation, flavor and storability of fermented beverages. Proper acid levels can inhibit bacterial growth, enhance flavor and improve aging.

First Quality wine corks are an economical, composite cork for wines aged up to 12 months. The #7 corks are one-piece, pore-filled corks with non-chamfered ends. The #8 and #9 corks are agglomerated with chamfered ends.

Nomacorc Select series wine corks are high-performance co-extruded closures for long-term aging. They have superior oxygen control, consistent quality and are TCA-free. Nomacorc corks have a color and texture that is consistent with traditional high quality natural cork.

The patented co-extrusion process results in a foamed core covered by an outer skin. The core provides uniform cell size and density allowing for consistent and predictable oxygen permeation. The elastic outer skin ensures that no leakage occurs during bottling or storage. This flexible skin also provides support and protection during the bottling process. 100% Recyclable with other LDPE plastics. Compatible with all types of bottle corkers.

A vinometer provides a quick measurement of alcohol in finished wine. Simply place a few drops in the tube and read its alcohol content on the scale. It is designed to measure dry wines with an alcohol content between 0% and 25%. Stronger wines can be tested by diluting the sample by 1/2 and then multiplying the result by 2. Sweeter wines with residual sugar can also be tested using the dilution method but will provide approximate results. The clear glass and white background is ideal for testing rosé and red wines (lighter-colored wines will be more difficult to read).

Premium quality agglomerated cork with natural cork ends for wines aged 2 to 4 years. They offer a great balance between value and performance. They are non-chamfered and have a grape cluster and leaf design. For use with floor corkers or commercial corking equipment.

Diam II tasting corks have a plastic top and Reference cork base for a temporary, resealable closure for wine and liquor bottles. They combine the tradition of a natural cork and the performance of a technical cork. Diam II corks are TCA-free and provide excellent oxygen control performance. They stay cleaner and firmer than any other tasting cork available.

Aglica wine corks were developed for the wine industry to reduce corkiness, random oxidation and leakage. They are made from 'suberin' (the purest part of the cork) and a polymer which enhances the natural elasticity and sealing properties of the cork. The corks are symmetrical and composed of agglomerated cork granules for consistency from end to end. Aglica corks are for wines aged 12 to 18 months and can be laid on their side immediately after corking.

This economical digital pocket pH tester provides fast readings and has a replaceable electrode. It is designed for direct measurement and has a ±0.1 pH accuracy. It is suited to environmental, field and laboratory testing. It has a large, easy-to-read display and can be calibrated when necessary. The replaceable electrode probe is ideal for general pH measurements and fits easily into test tubes, vials and other containers with small openings. Includes batteries.

#8 Tapered natural cork for beer, wine or liquor bottles. These are ideal for temporary storage and can easily inserted and removed by hand.
