Achieve faster, more consistent fermentations and reduce the risk of off-flavors, even when brewing high-gravity or with adjuncts
Formulated with essential nitrogen, amino acids, minerals like zinc, and vitamins to ensure robust yeast vitality and prevent sluggish fermentation
Simple to use, just add at the end of the boil to support healthy yeast and balanced fermentation across all beer styles
Are you looking to improve your fermentation speed, flavor, and yeast vitality, even under stressful brewing conditions? Yeast Life Extra™ can help you achieve consistent quality and prevent off-flavors, even for challenging wort conditions.
Yeast Life Extra™ is a yeast nutrient formulated with easily accessible nitrogen sources and essential amino acids, minerals, including zinc and vitamins. Designed to support healthy yeast and promote balanced fermentation. It is suitable for all types of brewing, particularly high-gravity and adjunct brewing, where yeast health can be significantly compromised.
Principle:
The two main requirements for consistent, predictable fermentations are healthy yeast and a nutrient balanced wort. It is generally recognized that only wort produced from a well modified, all malt grist approaches these needs, and even this requires supplementation with oxygen and zinc.
The common practice of high gravity, adjunct brewing has introduced two fermentation problems: nutrient deficiency and conditions of high stress for yeast.
Yeast generated under these difficult conditions typically show symptoms of reduced vigor, which can be compounded at each regeneration.
Problems associated with reduced vigor include slow or sticking fermentation, off-flavors associated with sulphur containing compounds, slow diacetyl reduction, and autolysis.
Benefits:
Faster and Consistent Fermentation
Reduces off flavors
Supports high gravity brewing
How do I use Yeast Life Extra™?
Yeast Life Extra™ is added at the end of the boil, making it a versatile addition to any brewing process.

Robust Flavor & Body: Imparts deep, earthy notes of burnt caramel and dark fruit—perfect for Stouts, Porters, and Old Ales.
Brewing Application: Stir directly into the kettle during the last 10–15 minutes of the boil to sterilize the syrup and prevent scorching.
Recommended Usage Rate: Use 4–8 oz per 5-gallon batch (1.5–3 lbs per bbl) to add distinct character without overwhelming your base malts.
Blackstrap molasses is a robust, highly concentrated syrup used in brewing to impart deep, earthy, burnt caramel, and dark fruit flavors to heavier beer styles like stouts, porters, and old ales. Because it contains a high percentage of unfermentable sugars and intense minerals, it adds rich body to the finished beer but can easily overwhelm a recipe with astringency or a metallic bitterness if overused. Brewers typically incorporate it by stirring it directly into the hot wort during the last 10 to 15 minutes of the boil; this safely sterilizes the syrup while preventing it from sinking and scorching on the bottom of the kettle.
For a standard 5-gallon batch, the typical usage rate is between 4 to 8 oz (by weight), which provides a distinct character without dominating the base malts. For large scale commercial batches, the proportional equivalent is roughly 1.5 to 3 lbs per bbl.

Vicant SBX provides comprehensive protection against beer oxidation by targeting key biochemical reactions that lead to flavor deterioration, haze, and color changes
This innovative anti-oxidant effectively inhibits LOX activity, chelates metal ions, and binds with thiol proteins to ensure superior organoleptic stability in packaged beer
Beyond flavor protection, Vicant SBX also prevents unwanted color development, improves wort filtration, and guards against haze formation, offering multiple benefits for beer quality
Vicant SBX is a new generation of highly effective, multi-component beer anti-oxidant designed to give maximum protection against the oxidative deterioration of beer in package. It is a beige powder which is soluble in water.
Principle:
Recent research has highlighted the importance of controlling oxidation during the initial stages of the brewing process as these reactions can result in oxidative deterioration in final packaged beer. An understanding of the biochemical reactions involved in the formation of the precursors of molecules involved in the oxidative deterioration (flavor, haze, color) of beer has allowed Lallemand Brewing scientists to formulate a new product that specifically targets the biochemical reactions that result in the production of these harmful precursors. Vicant SBX acts by:
Inhibiting LOX activity, minimizing the production of staling aldehydes
Chelating metal ions (Fe/Cu) which catalyze the production of reactive oxygen
species (ROS) so reducing non-enzymatic autoxidation of unsaturated fatty acids
Binding with thiol (-SH) proteins
Preventing Maillard reactions in wort and in final beer to eliminate color change
Benefits:
Improved organoleptic stability
Protection against color development/browning
Improved wort filtration
Protection against haze formation
Compac CG, derived from the Eucheuma cottonii seaweed, harnesses the power of semi-refined kappa carrageenan to enhance your brewing process
By effectively binding with haze-forming proteins during the boil, Compac CG contributes to clearer wort and ultimately, a more stable beer
Experience benefits with Compac CG, from improved hot break to enhanced yeast vitality and filtration efficiency
Compac CG contains semi refined kappa carrageenan from the seaweed species Eucheuma cottonii.
Principle:
The species Eucheuma cottonii is rich in the kappa isomer of carrageenan.
When added to boiling wort, kappa carrageenan reacts strongly with soluble proteins, notably the proline-rich haze precursor fraction. When the wort is cooled the carrageenan-protein complex becomes unstable and precipitates out of solution. The clear wort that results produces a beer with enhanced processing characteristics.
Benefits:
Improved hot break compaction in the whirlpool
Improved yeast vitality during fermentation
Improved filtration – longer filter runs
Improved beer haze and colloidal stability
Achieve noticeably clearer wort and enhanced beer stability by effectively removing haze-forming proteins during the brewing process
Experience improved whirlpool efficiency with Compac CG™, leading to better hot break compaction and increased wort extraction
Compac CG™'s concentrated granular form ensures optimal performance and potentially longer filter runs, saving you time and resources
Do you need an easy solution for improving filtration and haze stability? Is your whirlpool trub not compact and contributing to haze in your beer? See what Compac CG™ can do for you.
Compac CG™ is a semi-refined, granulated form of the seaweed species Eucheuma cottonii. The species Eucheuma cottonii is rich in the kappa isomer of carrageenan.
Added 5 minutes before the end of kettle boil or upon whirlpool transfer. When added to boiling wort kappa carrageenan reacts with soluble proteins, notably the proline-rich fraction which can cause haze. Once the wort is cooled, the carrageenan-protein complex becomes unstable and precipitates out of solution. The resulting clear wort produces a beer with enhanced processing characteristics.
Benefits:
Improved hot break compaction in the whirlpool leading to higher wort extraction
High cold break precipitation resulting in a clearer wort
Reduced final haze with enhanced colloidal stability
Why use Compac CG™?
Compac CG™ gives brewers better hot break compaction meaning more extraction of wort (less waste)
Improves cold break compaction leading to clearer wort which gives longer filter runs improving your usage of your filter materials
Improves turnaround time so beer is processed faster
Improves final haze and colloidal stability as the problematic sensitive proteins which can bind to polyphenols from hop products are reduced
How do I use Compac CG™?
By weighing the optimal amount then adding into the wort kettle 5-10 mins before the end of wort boil. Alternatively, into the whirlpool as it is being filled. If using a dosing system, program to dose into the wort during the final stage of the boil.
How do I know I am using the right amount?
Copper finings are an easy way to make a big improvement in your beer clarity and filterability. To check you are using the right amount you can do two things:
Carry out an optimization check (see the optimization video below) this ensures correct additions even if there are raw materials or process changes.
Take a cold wort sample at cast, post heat exchanger and allow it to settle overnight. Cloudy wort indicates you are not adding enough. Bright wort with high sediment levels (over 5%) means you are adding too much – optimize.
Why is Compac available in granules, tablets and powder, and which one is right for me?
Compac CG™ is a Pure Granular form which means the active ingredients are at the highest concentration and lower dose rates are required to achieve the best results. Compac CG™ Tablets are useful for smaller breweries to allow easy consistent addition without having to measure each time. The tablets are mixed with a dispersant to allow for better mixing.
Powder, is for automatic dosing systems.
How do I store Compac CG™?
Store Compac CG™ in a dry location at room temperature.
What other process aids can I use to complement my brewing process with Compac CG™?
With regards to Finings, it is common to combine copper fining use with cellar finings, such as silica sol or isinglass, which are added post fermentation and reduce haze contributed by yeast during fermentation.
What is the difference between kettle finings, copper finings and Irish moss?
Kettle and copper finings are the same thing and refer to the addition point which is in the brewhouse on the hot side. Irish moss is another type of kettle fining from the Chrondrus Chrispus species of seaweed. It has a lower concentration of the active ingredient kappa carrageenan than in Euchema cottonii which is used for Compac CG™ . It is therefore less effective at removing the haze forming proteins.
Use this insulating jacket to regulate the fermentation temperature in your 55L FermZilla Conical. The jacket alone will help keep your fermenter warm in the colder months, or you can add a FermWrap heater if the heat fermentation isn't enough to maintain temp. Conversely, you can freeze bottles of water and put them inside the jacket to keep the temperature from getting too hot. If you're feeling extra fancy, use frozen water bottles and a FermWrap plugged into a temperature controller. The frozen water bottles will provide constant cooling, and if the controller detects that the temperature has dropped too far, it will kick on the FermWrap to heat your fermenter back up to your target temp. The jacket has the added benefit of protecting your fermenting beer from harmful UV light. Features a single sided zipper and draw string bottom. Kegland Part number: KL11495
