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

- 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.
