BrewJacket Immersion – Lager Beer Without a Refrigerator

New gear for the homebrewer!!!-The Professor

Immersion is the world’s smallest lager fermentation device, giving brewers the ability to create world class lagers without a refrigerator. Immersion can bring your beer down to 35º F below ambient in a matter of days and hold it there for as long as it is plugged into the wall. Immersion has the same footprint as your carboy so no additional space is needed to create a lager! Now it is possible to brew a lager in your closet, bedroom, living room, or any tiny corner of your house.

From our own Maria Devan!

Tucked away on a little island in Alaska is a small brewing company called Baranof Island Brewing. The brewery has been open only since 2010 so it is still very young. They started with a mere 1/2 BBL but the locals were so enthusiastic and just kept drinking up all the beer. They now are up to 310 gallon batches on all their offerings. They are very particular about the quality of the ingredients that go into their beers and are also very proud of a pristine and pure glacier fed water source. They feel that the quality of the water contributes significantly to the quality of the beer.

Sam Adams Founder: Beer is More Than Just “Cold, Fizzy and in a Can”

Men drinking beer

 

The craft beer boom, which can and has been attributed to millennials, has been kind to brewers like Samuel Adams, which have been brewing craft beers for the past 30 years – when millennials weren’t even born.

The increasing interest in craft beers hasn’t gone unnoticed by beer giants like MillerCoors and Anheuser-Busch. As a result, the two companies have tried their hands at scooping up a part of the market for themselves – MillerCoors’ with Blue Moon and Anheuser-Busch with Shock Top. Their efforts haven’t been for nothing. According to Moody’s, Shock Top is the fastest growing craft beer. Similarly, the number of Americans drinking Blue Moon doubled in the last four years. And while many fans of real craft beers – those brewing 6m barrels a year or less – argue that those aren’t real craft beers, semantics matter little when it comes to sales.

It’s hard to compete with companies like that when it comes to production, admits Jim Koch, founder of Boston Beer Company, which brews Samuel Adams beers. Boston Beer Company has 1,000 employees and trains them to be cicerones, meaning they are to beer what sommeliers are to wine. Koch talks about making beer for creativity, quality and taste – throwing in rose hips and other garden-scented ingredients into a spring beer and expanding product offerings.
