Malt, Finings and Cleaners/Sanitisers

[Stu McKinlay]

I'm about to order some more specialty malts and stock up on the ones that a are low. Any last requests?

I'm also buying some koppafloc and iodophor. Is anyone interested in peracetic acid and/or alkali cleaner?

And then I'll get around to "sponsoring" realbeer. Help keep the homebrew love alive.

[Stu McKinlay]

I'll try to have them in this week... will let you know.

[Stu McKinlay]

Arrived yesterday: chocolate wheat, rye, melanoiden, carafa special II (dehusked), vienna (+ more base malts, plus a few specialties which were running low).
The iodophor did too. Koppafloc and Magi-fine (isinglass) should arrive today.

I'll get them on the website tonight...

Guys, I just got a good deal on a damaged 25kg bag of carrageenan. I am selling of the surplus for $30/kg +gst if any one wants some? shipping is $5 any where in NZ.

I also have detailed instructions for use if required.

Cheers

Stephen, is that a kettle fining agent? Irish moss or the like? Pardon my ignorance but I've not heard that name for it and google results are ambiguous.

[Steve Plowman]

Sorry, should have been more clear. Carrageenan is basically improved Irish moss, koppaflock is a brand of carrageenan. It is in granule form and is a very effective kettle flocculant which also encourages post ferment yeast settling.

1kg will do you about 1000 30L brews. Not sure what the shelf life is but $30/kg is 1/3 of the price that I can get it... go for it fellas!

[James P]

Stu if you have it, will you do smaller sizes?

[Stu McKinlay]

yeh, but as i said earlier, you'll be looking at $8/50g. I've not got a price yet bit it'll be on the website as soon as it arrives. Steve's giving it away at that price. It's most likely been a freebie as he's well under wholesale price.

[Steve Plowman]

Got a damaged bag at reduced cost, no freebie.

FYI:

Storage and Stability -
KoppaFloc® Granules should be stored in a cool, dry place and protected from variations in temperature.

Keen on some koppafloc.

I'll probably take a couple kilos of the specialties as well depending on financial position at the time.

[Nolen Smith]

I'll give the koppafloc a go as well. And I'll do a stock take on my malt and see what I need/want.
