Homebrew Simple Syphon
Simple Syphon with Racking Cane
We recently discovered that one of our suppliers had decided to cease production of the racking cane, so we purchased the tooling and the rights to manufacture it. We can supply these racking canes in bulk, or packaged with pre cut tubing, tap and bucket clip if required. All manufacture and packaging is done in the UK
Yeast Products
Beer Yeast - 906106
This Craft Ale Yeast has been specially selected for the use when brewing top fermented Beers and Ales. There are many different strains of Ale Yeast available on the UK market today.
- This yeast originates from America and is used today by a large number of commercial craft breweries both in the UK and abroad and has a proven track record for reliability within the industry.
- It has an excellent fermentation capacity and ferments very quickly.
- This yeast is particularly tolerant to alcohol so can be used for both primary and secondary fermentation to make medium and higher strength American style Ales and Beers.
- This strain has good sedimentation properties at the end of the fermentation.
- The percentage of sugars converted into alcohol at the end of the fermentation (the final attenuation degree) of this yeast strain is very high which will generally produce a drier beer with a higher ABV.
How much yeast is needed -
5 grams of yeast for a 40 pint (23 litre) brew being fermented between 16 to 22 degrees Celsius. If you are fermenting at a lower temperature then we suggest adding a bit more.
Cider and Perry Yeast - 906105
Of all the different strains of Cider yeasts available on the market today, we chose our Craft Cider Yeast as it has the following characteristics -
- Our yeast is used in the production of Commercial Ciders and has a proven track record for reliability when used in traditional cider making.
- This yeast strain is very quick to start and is tolerant to both high and low temperatures.
- Due to characteristics of this strain of yeast the natural aromas of the fruit are enhanced and can give a more aromatic finish to the Cider especially when more aromatic varieties of apple are used.
- This yeast is particularly tolerant to alcohol so can be used to make higher strength Cider or Perry based beverages.
- We have found this to be a “low foam producing” yeast so it is unlikely to appear out of the airlock causing mess which could allow the brew to become contaminated.
How much yeast is needed -
5 grams of yeast for a 40 pint (23 litre) brew being fermented at around 18 - 22 degrees Celsius. If you are fermenting at a lower temperature then we suggest adding a bit more.

This wine yeast is excellent not only for use when making Sparkling wines but it is also very effective at re-starting stuck fermentations and has the following characteristics -
- Used in the production of Commercial Sparkling Wines this strain of yeast has been selected over a number of years by the Research Institutes.
- This yeast strain is very quick to start and has an excellent speed of fermentation.
- Due to characteristics of this strain of yeast the natural varietal aroma of the fruit is not hidden.
- This yeast has low nutritional requirements and considerable cryophilic propensity making it particularly suitable for the sparkling method of winemaking.
- This yeast strain has proven to give excellent results in the correction of stuck fermentations.

This High Alcohol Wine Yeast is excellent not only for use when making wines with a high ABV (Alcohol by Volume) content but it is also suitable for use when fermenting under difficult conditions such as high summer temperatures. We have selected this yeast strain as it has the following characteristics -
- This yeast strain withstands high levels of alcohol and so can be used to produce of wines with and ABV of at least 17%.
- Due to characteristics of the strain this yeast displays a high fermentative activity even under difficult conditions and will ferment in temperatures of up to 34°C.
- This strain of yeast produces wines rich with the aromas of the ripe fruit and with low acidity without the need for temperature control.
How much yeast is needed -
5 grams of yeast for a 40 pint (23 litre) brew being fermented at around 20 - 34 degrees Celsius. If you are fermenting at a lower temperature then we suggest adding a bit more.
Versatile Red Wine Yeast - 906101
This wine yeast is excellent for use when making both Red and Rosé Wines. There are many strains of red wine yeast available and we have chosen this particular yeast strain as it has the following characteristics -
- Used in the production of Commercial Red and Rosé Wines this yeast strain is technologically highly characterised and produces extremely limited quantities of compounds which could interfere with wine quality.
- Thanks to its vigour and resistance this strain of yeast rapidly prevails over the indigenous flora found in large quantities in red wine vinification ensuring and so will reliably produce wines with intense red berry aromas and good structure.
- This yeast strain is particularly recommended for the production of young wines and wines for medium term aging which means your home made wine will be ready to consume more quickly than when using other red wine yeast strains.
- When compared to other selected red wine yeast strains, this strain produces wines with a more intense colour as it has does not affect the colouring substances extracted during maceration.
How much yeast is needed -
5 grams of yeast for a 40 pint (23 litre) brew being fermented at between 18 and 22 degrees Celsius. If you are fermenting at a lower temperature then we suggest adding a bit more.

- This strain of yeast has proven to ferment very well even at low temperatures.
- This yeast strain does not produce sulphites (except in the case of extreme nutritional deficiencies) and so is particularly recommended where the wine will be matured on the lees.
- Due to characteristics of this strain of yeast the resulting wines are full bodied with very complex aromas which, depending on the cultivar, are reminiscent of flowers, citrus or white-pulped fruit.
