ENZYBREW 10 is an eco-friendly cleaning product from Realzyme, available soon from NicheSolutions.
Specially designed for the daily cleaning of microbrewery equipment, it’s an enzyme-based powdered detergent rather than a traditional caustic-based cleaning solution.
We think it will prove popular with brewers because it’s an environmentally friendly, all-in-one detergent, cutting your costs as it works on biofilms as well as all the organic residues encountered during the production of beer.
— ENZYBREW 10 is ideal for the deep, safe cleaning of filter plates, wort cooler and maturation, boiling and fermentation tanks.
— As a natural, non-caustic detergent, it’s safe to use alongside other cleaning products such as those which contain chlorine.
— And because it works at much lower temperatures, it’s more energy efficient.

One of the biggest challenges faced by the brewing/ beverage industry is environmental sustainability.
Here at NicheSolutions, we’re promoting new ways to do business by investing in innovative, energy-efficient projects with low impact on the environment.
Our Nc6 can holders are just one new, cost-effective way for brewers to make a difference. They’re the UK’s first 100% eco-friendly six-pack holders, made from 100% recycled wood pulp, which in turn is 100% biodegradable. We’re proud to say they have earned the prestigious DIN CERTO certificate of compostability.
Whether you’re a brewer producing cans of beer or a consumer drinking them, it surely makes sense to stop using plastic can holders. Why add needlessly to the planet’s mounting plastic waste problem, and create a long-term threat to the environment, to birds and sealife?
Even beyond the problem of landfill sites and oceans filling up with plastic, the old-fashioned plastic 6-pack holders pose an extra hazard to birds and animals. That’s why many consumers now snip them with scissors before disposal.
NicheSolutions’ new Nc6 six-pack can holders fit 330cl cans, and are priced at only 23p each. There’s a four-pack Nc4 version coming very soon. Ask about the can holders when you’re placing your next order!

It was a pleasure to head out on the road this week with Volker Moller, master brewer, who flew in from Germany to visit some of our customers and answer some questions about our popular range of Erbsloh products.
Here he is at the Redchurch Brewery in Harlow, explaining the importance of pH values in the brewing process.
The first picture shows Volker with Larenzo, one of the lead head brewers at Redchurch, checking the clarity of a brew using Brausol P Special.
And, most importantly of all, here’s the core range of excellent Redchurch beers.
The Brick Lane Lager passed the Volker Test with flying colours – and we’d also recommend a bottle of the New Zealand Pils in the Bethnal Green taproom the next time you’re in East London!

This week we’re pleased to welcome to the UK Volker Moller, master brewer and technical director of Erbsloh. We’re proud to have Volker accompany us on visits to new customers and those who have asked for guidance on using our products.
As a former master brewer at Bavaria Brewery, with a wealth of experience in quality control and the brewing process, Volker is our ultimate technical back-up.
We look forward to seeing you this week if you’re one of the brewers who asked for assistance with products such as:
• Brausol P Special – for clarification and a vegan-friendly brew,
• Our CraftZYM range of enzymes – invaluable if you’re brewing dry beers – or
• Fructozym – recommended for maximising flavour and minimising cost when you’re brewing fruit beers.
If you’d like any help or guidance on how to use any of products, please don’t hesitate to ask. At NicheSolutions, we’re here to help.

At the moment there’s a widespread trend toward producing drier beers, and many of our customers have been discussing and asking us about the use of enzymes to ease the process.
There are many ways to achieve that ultra-desirable extra dryness, including the use of adjuncts, pure sugars and longer mash schedules – but the popular method that’s really taking off at the moment is using enzymes.
Our CraftZYM range makes for a dry beer with the fullest malt and adjunct flavours possible, which can provide a more balanced profile. You can add our CraftZYM products in the brewhouse or in the cellar, and in different dosages to suit your particular taste. All of the products come with full guidelines for use.
The best way to use the CraftZYM range is give them a trial. We’re already getting lots of positive feedback from brewers who have trialled and are now using the product. If you’d like a free sample, just let us know when you’re making your next order.

Recent price rises across the industry have seen traditional strains and popular brands of ale yeast hit new highs anywhere between £40 and £60 per 500g.
So why not give our premium quality AY4 and AY5 Fermoyeast a try? They’re just £26 for 500g, and you won’t be able to tell the difference.
We asked a couple of our regular customers what they thought of AY4 and AY5.
Les at Liverpool’s Neptune Brewery gave AY4 and AY5 the thumbs-up for use in stouts and IPAs. “I did like-for-like trials with my existing yeast and found there was no difference, AY4 and AY5 ferments the same amount of time and has the same characteristics in taste and aromas.”
And Lee at Brew York Brewery already uses AY4 and AY5 on his full range of beers. “I’ve found no difference in the AY4 AY5 to the yeast that I was using before. They pitch at the same temperatures and the esters are the same.”
If you’d like to put it to the test, just ask for a free sample next time you’re putting in an order.
