Product Description

Hops have been widely used for brewing beer for centuries, and modern beer would be unrecognizable without them. The hop plant (Humulus lupulus) is a perennial vine that grows in many temperate climates. The flowers are harvested at peak ripeness and are immediately compressed into pellets to preserve the fresh aroma and flavor. Certified organic hops are still difficult to find, but we have gathered the best the world has to offer in one place, all USDA certified organic. Our world class selection contains 1 oz. each of 8 different varieties of pelleted hops. The selection includes German Hallertaur, German Spalt Select, Belgian Fuggles, Belgian Challenger, New Zealand Saaz, American Palisades, and others from our current offerings.

Customer Reviews

must have for home wine or beer making!5
These are simple (and very affordable!), effective, and amazingly convenient for making your own wine at home. Note that you MUST also purchase stoppers with holes if you don't already have them. (They really ought to be sold together to save on shipping!)

I was having trouble making cherry and blackberry wines because of the fruit being pushed by the bubbles up into the balloons, causing them to tip over and spill syrup all over the place. A few days into fermenting, I switched my balloons out for these along with "Drilled Rubber Stopper (Carboy Bung Sets of 3)", and have been incredibly happy! No more spills, just little bubbles and clean airlocks & bungs!

Simple, cheap, and works well!5
This style of airlock is far superior to the "s" shape airlocks for one major reason. It is pretty much impossible for contaminated or "outside" air or fluid to make it past this airlock and into your fermenter. With the older style "s" locks, it was just too easy for the fluid acting as a barrier between the clean fermenter and the "bugs" in the outside air to be sucked backwards into the fermenter, thus exposing your beer to contamination.

Get a few of these and you won't regret it!

Customer Reviews

Taste, quality and price - great, but not "raw honey" by Wikipedia's definition5
Miller's Honey tastes great but by Wikipedia's definition is not actually "raw honey". I got my information by calling Miller's Honey (and I think their products are great, by the way).

Miller's Honey is heated to 130 °F. Maybe that is close enough by some people's standards. But please read the following from Wikipedia:

"Raw honey is honey as it exists in the beehive or as obtained by extraction, settling or straining without adding heat above 120 °F." There are some honey brands that do not heat their honey whatsoever, such as White Gold, but unheated honey is always more expensive, I suppose because of the health benefits.

Also from Wikipedia: "Excessive heat-exposure also results in product deterioration, as it increases the level of hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and reduces enzyme (e.g. diastase) activity. The heat also affects appearance, taste, and fragrance. Heat processing can also darken the natural honey color (browning)."

I think this is an important distinction because otherwise Amazon shoppers will think this is by far the cheapest RAW HONEY available -probably anywhere. Of course, you can't argue with the price of Miller's Honey even though it is heated to 130 °F.

I also noticed that at least one reviewer claimed this product was organic. As I stated, I called the company. They say it is not organic. However, they do say it is certified Kosher and that it is USDA Grade A -not that anybody doubted that!

Miller's Honey is an amazing company with fabulous products, and they have great customer service too. They even sell 5 gallon buckets of this honey, but you can't do better on this particular one than to buy it through Amazon. This product deserves 5 Amazon stars.

The price is great. Just make sure you're comparing apples to apples when you look at prices of raw honey.

Too good for words5
This honey is just as advertised! In fact, even better. As someone who has been collectng and tasting honey for a couple of decades, this jar takes a place of honor besides several others. I go to it regularly to sweeten my tea. Bravo! You want good honey? Go no further, this is the place to begin (and perhaps end).

*Excellent* value5
Full, rich, and only slightly wild taste. Next to the raw stuff straight from a hive, the best honey I think I've ever tasted.

There Has To Be A Simpler Way3
This expensive kit does the job but, you have to make absolutely certain that you rinse ALL of the chemical out of the line. Instructions indicate that flushing with one small container of fresh water is enough to remove the dangerous chemical. I think a second or third is necessary. You still have to remove and wash hardware. Sure wish somebody would come up with a simpler safer method.

Customer Reviews

great for lagering5
I bought this to control the temp of my mini-fridge that I use to lager beer in. Basically you plug this unit into the wall and plug your fridge's power plug into it. The thermostat probe is placed inside the fridge and basically shuts off the power to the unit when a certain temp is reached. Because of the way this unit works, you have to set your fridge to the coldest setting. This unit would also be great to turn a deep freezer into a fridge.

Keep in mind if your fridge isn't capable of getting to the temp you set then it will run all the time and possibly damage the compressor on your fridge. Also keep in mind the probe placement is important. If you put the probe in the fridge next to where the cold air blows into the compartment, its going to kick off the fridge before the entire compartment has reached the right temp.
