Carrying 1 bottle of water can take up a lot of space in a bag, but what if you need to carry extra? Those water bladders hold around 2-3 liters, but they always seem to fail or freeze along the hose. Carrying more than 1 large Nalgene means less room for gear on a days hike. A brilliant alternative is the Memobottle that is flat and holds up to 36 ounces of water!

The slim design of the Memobottles saves space and holds hot or cold beverages. There are so many unique features about these bottles. I already mentioned the slim design and the fact that it holds liquids at any temperature. I have the A5 stainless steel Memobottle in white. The A5 comes in 4 sizes – this 36oz, 16oz, 8oz and a tall 20oz. If premium food-grade stainless steel is not your favorite material, choose the Original Tritan plastic. You can choose white or black and also customize extra lid and even desk stand colors. You can also order any color sleeve as an optional add on.

The A5 Stainless Steel bottle has a durable satin-textured powdercoat finish. The mouthpiece is 1″ in diameter for easy fill and drinking. This bottle features a leak proof lid, with a durable silicone seal. Of course, this bottle is BPA and BPS-free. Memobottle is partnered with the international non-profit organization Water.org. For every Memobottle sold, five months of safe water is provided to communities in need. Shop and customize your slim water bottle today!

After a week off the grid camping with friends, I was a day into the trip when I remembered that I brought my OutIn Nano Portable Espresso Machine with me. This means I had hot espresso everywhere I had access to some coffee grounds and water. In fact, one of our friends purchased one at the end of the trip after being so intrigued. It truly was a lifesaver on mid-afternoons!

This is not a portable coffee maker, rather a portable espresso maker and, YES, there is a difference in my taste! The creamy coffee that is a result of a few moments of brew time is so delicious and I didn’t even need my normal creamer with it. Here are the details of this machine:

• Made of food-grade stainless steel and Environmentally friendly materials
• Heats the water to the perfect temperature of 92°C/198°F in less than 200 seconds
• Use any brewable coffee abd it will have a richer froth and is ready to enjoy in 3-4 minutes
• Compatible with both ground coffee and capsule coffee
• One button click and rechargeable battery – comes with USB-C charger & measuring cup
• Use cold or hot water – hot water takes seconds, cold water takes 3-4 minutes to brew

This lightweight machine easily fits in my hiking bag and sets up in seconds. It is a must-have while camping, traveling and hiking. You can find the OutIn Nano Portable Espresso Machine at OutIn.com or on Amazon.

A beer brite tank is a device used to brighten beer through filtration. In addition to brightening beer, these products can also improve clarity and long-term stability in packaged products. They are useful for home brewing as well as commercial purposes. They are available in a variety of styles and prices.

Carbonation stone

In-tank carbonation involves the use of a carbonation stone. Click here for more information about this process. This stone is a porous stone or a sintered piece of stainless steel that forces carbon dioxide into the liquid. 

Beer made in this way can be packaged directly from the bright tank. This process is closely monitored. A brewery’s lab will perform a series of tests to ensure that the beer is carbonated correctly.

Commercial brewers use a brite process to achieve optimal carbing and head pressure. They begin by setting the carb stone pressure at 30 PSI. This is then monitored further to find the ideal carb limit, which is usually 12/13 PSI. Once the perfect carb limit is reached, the CO2 pressure is tuned down to a level that allows safe serving pressure.

The Carbonation Stone is made of stainless steel and is perforated with 0.5-to-2 micron holes. There are also keg lids that incorporate diffusion stones. Once installed, the Carbonating Stone sits inside the keg near the bottom. To connect the Stone to the carbonating device, you need to attach a length of hose to a hose barb. The length of hose is typically two feet of 1/4″ ID thick-wall vinyl hose.

Temperature control

Temperature control is an important feature of these types of tanks. These fermenters can be set to either force carbonate or naturally carbonate the beer. A high-quality product like the ones from ABS Commercial will ensure a satisfactory end product. The former method is typically used for beer packaged in kegs, while the latter is used for bottles. 

Lager packaged in bottles or cans must be transferred from a bright process to a bottling bucket or bottling machine.

One type of lager reservoir is the jacketed type. These products have glycol jackets on the sides and bottom to maintain temperature, regardless of fill level. Single wall brite oness, on the other hand, are usually found in brewpubs. These are used as serving tanks and are typically kept in refrigerated rooms.

Another type of fermenter is the conical type. These tanks are better for larger productions. They allow you to leave more fermenters open at a time, and can hold more liquid. Their large capacity makes them great for lager productions that will need to ship and package their products.

Temperature control in these types of tanks is an important aspect of the brewing process. A temperature controller and thermometer are essential for controlling the lager temperature. With these devices, brewers can package their lager without having to pay for expensive cold-storage facilities. In addition, a temperature regulator is required to prevent the lager from spoiling.

Temperature control in these types of tanks is important because lager fermentation releases excess heat. Brewing beverages requires exact temperature controls. Click the link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brewing for more information about this process. 

Different temperatures affect different stages of brewing. The most common temperature control method is using cooling jackets. These jackets circulate hot or cold fluid to maintain the proper temperature for fermenting lager. Different cooling jackets are designed for different purposes.

Pressure control

Pressure control in these types of tanks is an essential part of the process. Lager in a brite tank can be naturally carbonated or forced. The former method is commonly used for beer packaged in kegs. However, there are some advantages to bottle conditioning. For example, beer in a brite tank can be transferred to a keg without the need for bottling equipment.

These types of tanks are equipped with pressure relief valves. These valves prevent the pressure from escaping the tank. The valves can be manually operated or automated. It is vital to check the pressure daily. Excess pressures can damage the tanks. A typical pressure relief valve is set at 15-17 PSI for fermenters and 28-30 PSI for brite tanks.

These types of reservoirs are made from stainless steel and have a cylinder shape. Inside the brite reservoir is a ‘beer stone’, a small piece of calcium oxide that helps remove the haze from beer. Brewers may use brite reservoirs in a batch brewing system or a continuous brewing system. For continuous brewing, it is important to note that brite reservoirs don’t require a filtering step.

Brewing beer in a brite reservoir can increase beer clarity, reduce oxygen exposure, and increase carbonation levels. The size, shape, and material of the reservoir are also important factors to consider. This decision will depend on the type of beer you will be brewing. The best brite reservoirs will give you a better result and save you time in the process.

There are several ways to control pressure in These types of reservoirs. For example, if you’re making ale using nitrogen, the pressure may have to be very high. The pressure can be set to 10-12 PSI. A nitrogenated ale may require a higher pressure than a regular lager.

Built-in thermowell

A built-in thermowell in a these types of reservoir is an excellent way to ensure the brew temperature is just right. Brewers typically work at 34F and often have to store ingredients such as yeast and hops in a chiller. This can place an unnecessary strain on the cooling system. A brite reservoir installed in a walk-in cooler can be a convenient solution.

A these types of reservoir is also an excellent way to age or condition your ale. This feature allows you to transfer ale from the bottom of the reservoir to a separate keg. While filling kegs using a dip tube can be a tedious process, using a brite reservoir is a much safer and hygienic solution. 

Transferring ale from a brite reservoir is simple and fast. The built-in thermowell in the these types of reservoir will keep your ale at a perfect temperature for a long period of time.
