You want to turn water into great beer? As usual, we’re here to help!
However, in these challenging times, it’s difficult for us to go ahead with brewery visits, training and demonstrations. So we’ve kicked off a new series of ‘Still Niche’ beer-tasting videos on YouTube…
Our aim is to provide interactive online content and deeper insights into our product range, at the same time showcasing some of the great beers and tricks of the trade from breweries around the country.
Our first ‘Still Niche’ video features three well-respected breweries who use our yeasts to create great beer.
Here’s Daniel from Exale Brewing, Ross from By The Horns Brewing Company and Gareth from Moncada Brewery. They’ve kindly walked us through their brewing processes, which use some innovative techniques. Watch the video to find out more…
We hope you enjoy this first ‘Still Niche’ video, and that you’ll like and subscribe to see our future content.
Please do contact us with any questions or queries – or if you’d like to be featured in a future presentation!

For the vital job of cleaning, rinsing and sanitising your brewery and kit, the HydroFoamer gun can help you achieve maximum performance from your cleaning products – saving you time, effort and money.
The HydroFoamer’s unique injection system automatically mixes the proper amount of concentrate with both air and water to produce a thick, rich foam for longer soak time. It’s far safer than other cleaning methods.
And coupled with our special-offer 30-metre hose, the HydroFoamer is completely portable, easy to use in every area of the brewery.
Here’s just one example of our positive customer feedback – this from Attic Brew Co.: “The HydroFoamer has made cleaning the outside of the vessels incredibly quick and easy, which is especially important for our taproom. The tanks come out spotless and it’s even good at lifting stubborn material from hard-to-clean areas such as around the feet.”
The HydroFoamer offers convenient control of where and how the solution is applied. On and off functions are at your fingertips, trigger-controlled on the spray nozzle. To rinse, the concentrate container is disconnected using an easy-to-operate quick coupler, designed to allow either a full-width spray or powerful jet stream while rinsing.
– The foamer is built with Hydro’s proven, reliable components; years of use in the field provide proof of durability
– It’s compact and easy to store
– Offers increased productivity
– Reduced exposure to concentrates enhances safety
– Non-electric, no installation required; simply fill the concentrate container and connect the dispenser to a water source

NicheSolutions are proud to be playing our part in helping to stage the British Grand Prix at Silverstone.
Three of our 20-litre KeyKeg-fuelled sanitation stations are all set to be installed behind the scenes, helping to ensure the safety of those attending.
The units, which eliminate the need for individual sanitisation bottles, are built of food-grade stainless steel and can each hold up to 8,000 shots of alcohol sanitising gel.
Of course, there will be no spectators at this year’s event; but a large amount of staff will still be present, and it is vital that they are given hygienic conditions to work in, and can feel safe behind the scenes.
The sanitation stations will be installed to serve the press room, pit staff, on-site medics and many other vital staff on site.
In addition to the three large units and their back-up KeyKegs, NicheSolutions have also provided no less than 50 smaller sanitation stations for the Grand Prix.
All of the units are not only hygienic and cost-effective but also eco-friendly, removing the need for individual sanitisation bottles, which are often not recyclable. A single large sanitisation station holds the equivalent of many hundreds of bottles.

Despite record recent sales of the Nc6 six-pack can-holder, we’ve used our time over the past few months to produce a new, improved version.
The Nc6 remains a 100% recycled, biodegradable product – just one new, cost-effective way for eco-aware brewers to make a difference.
The Nc6 can be used with 500ml, 440ml or 330ml cans. But now its performance is even better…
– Nc6 can holders are the UK’s first 100% eco-friendly six-pack holders
– Made from 100% recycled wood pulp, which in turn is 100% biodegradable
– Earned the prestigious DIN CERTO certificate of compostability
– Stronger – As you can see, the thicker Nc6 now takes the full 3kg weight of six 500g cans with absolute ease, without so much as the slightest bend
– Clearer branding and recycle logo. It’s now clear to your customer that their can-holder is fully recyclable.
– And yet the price remains the same. Just 23p each (plus P&P) on a minimum order of 100.
Be sure and ask for a sample of the new, improved Nc6 eco-friendly can-holder the next time you place an order.

A new non-touch sanitation station donated by sponsors NicheSolutions has been installed at the training ground of West Ham United Women. Please click here to visit the NS Solutions website for more information.
The unit, which eliminates the need for individual sanitisation bottles, is built of food-grade stainless steel and can hold up to 8,000 shots of alcohol sanitising gel, which is supplied from a 20-litre KeyKeg. The front has been engraved with the Hammers’ crest, which celebrates the Club’s 125 years.
WHUW Managing Director Jack Sullivan has thanked NicheSolutions Managing Director Paul Calcott for his donation. He said: “The most important thing is that we want to make sure everyone feels safe when they come to our training ground or our matches. That goes for players, staff, coaches, and supporters alike.
“Just as important is how this equipment removes the need for individual sanitisation bottles, which are often not recyclable. This stand removes the need for small individual packaging, keeping everyone safe and sanitised in an environmentally friendly manner.”
Having provided West Ham United with smaller sanitisation units for use across the Club’s training ground and stadiums earlier this year, Paul Calcott was delighted to launch the new stand with the women’s team at Chadwell Heath.
He said: “Previously, we had an alcohol sanitisation stand that we launched at the beginning of the global coronavirus pandemic, which utilised a 750ml tank, but was only really viable for use by between 20-30 people before running out of sanitisation gel.”
With the sanitisation station holding the equivalent of 10,000 mini-bottles, OneCircle’s (the producer of KeyKeg and UniKeg) Natalie Maestri believes the environmentally friendly aspect of the unit is an added incentive.
She said: “Replacing with circular bulk packaging is so crucially important because, with more and more people rightly conscious of their hygiene, we’re seeing this packaging disposed of in the wrong manner.”
