The UBREW4U Hop, Flavour & Clarifying Agent Injector has been specifically designed to allow the addition of dry hops, flavourings, and clarifying agents to your beer after fermentation without exposing it to oxygen. By adding ingredients under pressure, you can preserve freshness, protect delicate hop aromas, and minimise the risk of oxidation.
Features
- Designed for adding ingredients directly into a pressurised fermenter
- Maintains a closed, oxygen-free brewing environment
- 8mm push-fit CO₂ inlet connection
- Built-in purge valve for removing oxygen before injection
- 8mm push-fit outlet for connection to the UBREW4U Pressure Brewer racking arm valve
- Heavy-duty construction for repeated use
How It Works
- Remove the injector cap and add your dry hops, flavourings, or clarifying agent.
- Secure the cap tightly.
- Connect the top 8mm push-fit fitting to your CO₂ supply.
- Connect the bottom 8mm push-fit fitting to the racking arm valve on your UBREW4U Pressure Brewer.
- Pressurise the injector to 10 psi above the current pressure in the fermenter.
- Turn off the CO₂ supply (leave it connected) and slowly open the purge valve to vent the oxygen from inside the injector.
- Close the purge valve and repressurise the injector to 10 psi above the fermenter pressure.
- Open the valve to inject the ingredients into the fermenter while maintaining pressure throughout the process.
This simple purging process significantly reduces oxygen exposure, helping to preserve hop character, flavour stability, and overall beer quality.
Recommended: Use with the UBREW4U Glass Plunger for the smoothest and most efficient ingredient injection.
