Priming Sugar. Corn sugar (dextrose) is for priming bottle-conditioned beer; use 5 oz. per 5 gallons.
Belgian Candi Sugar. Imported from Belgium, this sugar is refined from sugar beets, and is 100% fermentable. Clear has a Lovibond rating of 0°L, Amber is 75°L, and Dark is 275°L.
Candi Syrup. These sugar syrups are used extensively by commercial brewers in Belgium. Amber, dark, and D2 syrups yield much more color and caramelized flavor than rock candi sugar. The clear, amber, dark, and D2 syrus are rated at 0, 40, 80, and 80 SRM, respectively. They will all contribute 1.032 ppg; use 1/4 to 1 cup per 5 gallons. Contains 16 fluid oz.
Note: The 2209 Dark Candi Syrup is now packaged by Northern Brewer. It is packaged by weight in one-pound containers. Photo soon!
Clear candi syrup has a neutral profile and is ideal for Tripels and other strong, pale styles. Amber candi syrup has a butter caramel profile with molasses notes. Dark gives intense molasses and burnt-caramel character, while D2 has flavors of dark fruit and chocolate with a faint roasty edge.
Soft Candi Sugar. Not the large rock sugar of the past! These sugars have a unique flavor and aroma and are small in granular size to dissolve easily and quickly. Unlike rock sugar, they will add complex flavors that cannot be obtained through grains and other adjuncts. Blond candi sugar is excellent for use in light-colored beers, while brown candi sugar is perfect for an amber to dark beer. Does not contain molasses or any artificial color.
Preliminary SRM ratings are 0 for blond and 60 for brown; both have an SG contribution of 1.038 ppg.
Lyle's Invert Sugar Syrup. These British syrups are perfect for boosting the gravity of your brew!
Lyle's Golden Syrup - English liquid invert sugar, an authentic addition to many British ale styles. Boosts gravity without altering flavor.
Lyle's Black Treacle - A mixture of molasses and invert sugar; the Brits like it on pancakes, we like it in porter! Intense molasses flavor with licorice overtones, adds color, flavor and gravity to dark ales. Try it in porters and foreign or imperial stouts.
Munton's KreamyX Priming Agent. Use one package per 5 gallons in place of priming sugar for bottle-conditioned beer. A blend of DME, dextrose, and heading agent to aid head formation and retention in the glass.
Munton's CarbTabs. This unique priming sugar is in tablet format and is made from dextrose, dry malt extract, and heading powder. To use, add 3 to 5 tablets per 12 oz. bottle depending on desired carbonation level, and condition for 1 week. Each 4.5 ounce pack contains approximately 250 tablets.
Cooper's Carbonation Drops. An easy way to carbonate beer by the bottle. Simply drop in one for a 12 oz. bottle, or two for a 22 ounce bottle. Each package contains 60 drops.
Lactose. A milk-based sugar, not fermentable by beer yeast. Add to the boil for sweet stouts.
Rice Syrup Solids. Lightens a beer's body and color. Add during the boil for American-style light lagers.
Northern Brewer searches the country for quality single-source and blended honey for meadmakers.
Basswood Honey. Basswood is an ornamental shade tree that produces cream-colored flowers known for their nectar. Basswood honey has a fresh taste similar to green ripening fruit. It is characterized by its distinctive lingering flavor.
Clover Honey. Clover honey is light in color. It has a sweet, flowery flavor and a pleasing mild taste. This honey is unpasteurized, heated to less than 132° F, and strained through a coarse filter.
Wildflower Honey. Our wildflower honey is light amber in color and is very sweet and robust. This wildflower is produced by placing hives in vast prairies and grasslands where bees have access to pure water and a wide variety of wild plants. The honey is naturally blended by the bees as they visit many different nectar sources. This honey is unpasteurized, heated to less than 132° F, and strained through a coarse filter.
California Orange Blossom. Orange blossom honey has a sweet and fruity taste that is reminiscent of citrus blossoms. Tastes a bit different than Florida orange blossom, and makes a fantastic mead. This honey is unpasteurized, heated to less than 132° F, and strained through a coarse filter.
White Sage. Sage shrubs grow along the southern California coast from Santa Barbara to Mexico. White Sage honey is rich and light with a predominant sweet, clover-like flavor and an elegant floral aftertaste. This honey is unpasteurized, heated to less than 132° F, and strained through a coarse filter.
Light-Amber Honey Blend. We offer this honey for its excellent value. Unlike the varietal honeys we sell, this is made of many different varietal honeys from around the world, and then blended together to produce a highly consistent product. This honey has been pasteurized and filtered.
Ames Farm of Watertown, MN produces nationally-recognized artisanal honey in small batches with utmost attention to quality and craft. Without a centralized area of production, Ames uses a unique "virtual apiary:" 300 hives and a network of orchards and beeyards throughout central and southern Minnesota, combined with old-world apiary techniques almost unheard of in North America to create a floral portrait of time, seasons, places, and plants. Now Ames Farm has teamed with Northern Brewer to make their truly exceptional honey available to meadmakers everywhere!
Ames Farm honey is raw honey - never heated or processed - and is gently extracted from combs with a centrifugal extractor that requires careful attention to detail by a master beekeeper. This means that all of the floral source's volatile aroma and flavor compounds are intact when you receive the honey and prepare your must. Raw honey will crystallize - this is normal and will not affect the flavor or fermentability of your mead. Crystallized honey can be liquefied by gently warming the container in a pot of hot water.
In keeping with the true nature of honey as a constantly evolving, "vintage" agricultural product, the floral sources and composition of Ames Farm honey will change with the season and years, and are dependent on variables like hive placement and weather. Reliable primary sources are basswood, sweet clover, and dutch clover in early summer, with goldenrod and thistle coming on in late summer. Wildflower and alfalfa tones can be expected at times (alfalfa gives a lovely vanilla character). Secondary sources include birdsfoot trefoil, boneset, blue vervain, and wild bergamot.
Make no mistake - this is some serious honey. Available exclusively through Northern Brewer!
