As a wine contains more and more alcohol, it becomes more viscous (i.e., it becomes heavier, and thereby feels fuller in our mouths).

Crafted from 304-grade stainless steel, this tap replaces the "metal-on-metal" friction of older designs with a smooth, gliding action and a highly sanitary internal shuttle. Unlike traditional rear-sealing taps that trap beer inside to get sticky or infected, the NUKATAP seals at the very front. This keeps your beer fresh, your tap moving freely, and your maintenance intervals longer. Why the NUKATAP Outperforms the Competition: First-Pour Foam Reduction: By significantly reducing the thermal mass of the faucet body, the NUKATAP cools down almost instantly. This kills the "heat sink" effect of traditional taps, ensuring your very first pour is crisp and foam-free. The NUKASHUTTLE Innovation: This world-first, seamless single-piece shuttle features a fluid-dynamic "missile" shape. This breakthrough in laminar flow means even highly carbonated beers pour with minimal turbulence for a perfect head every time. Ultimate Hygiene (CIP Ready): Traditional taps have seals seated on stainless bodies, creating tiny fissures where bacteria can hide. The NUKASHUTTLE is a seamless TPV rubber matrix formed over a durable skeleton, eliminating infection sites and making it the most sanitary tap for "Clean-In-Place" systems. Chemical & Acid Resistance: Designed for more than just lager, the NUKATAP is built to handle the lactic and acetic acids found in sour beers and kombucha. The TPV seals are resistant to caustic cleaners and heavy-duty acids that would degrade standard rubber. Universal Handle Angle: A custom 2.5-degree reverse angle allows you to use heavy or oversized tap handles without the risk of the faucet accidentally "creeping" open. Features at a Glance: Forward-Sealing Design: Stops yeast and bacteria from entering the tap body. Long-Life Seals: High-durability TPV matrix handles high leverage and frequent use. Superior Finish: All-stainless steel construction for a professional, durable look. Modular Spout System: Compatible with Nukatap-specific Ball Lock, Growler, and Stout spouts (sold separately). Pro Tip: For maximum flexibility when switching between high-pressure carbonated beverages and standard ales, consider the Nukatap FC (Flow Control) model, featuring an integrated side lever to adjust flow speed on the fly. - [Yakima Chief US Cascade Hop Pellets](https://winekitzcalgary.com/shop/yakima-chief-us-cascade-hop-pellets/) - Floral Grapefruit Grass Herbal Pine Spec: Alpha: 4-9% | Beta: 5.5-9% | CO_H: 29-35% | Oil: 0.5-2 mL/100g Originating from the USDA-ARA breeding program, Cascade is an aroma-type cultivar bred in 1956 and released in 1972.
