$54.50Mussel Inn Captain Cooker - Manuka Beer - All Grain Clone Kit 23l
Here's our take on the famous Captain Cooker by the Mussel Inn in Golden Bay. This unique New Zealand classic uses fresh Manuka sprouts (not supplied in this kit, you need to collect them yourself). Like the original recipe this is a lager ferment, so good temperature control is recommended.

$46.50The League "Cemetery Sunset" - Boysenberry Gose Recipe Kit (All Grain)
This recipe uses some ingredients that are not included and must be sourced locally - frozen boysenberries (or another red berry), non-ionised salt and coriander seeds. See the recipe for details.
Cemetery Sunset - Boysenberry Gose is a recipe designed for The League of Brewers by Jamie McQuillan of Cell Division Brewery.
As an advocate of mixed ferment sour beers over and above kettle souring, Jamie put this recipe together as an alternative for brewers fearful of introducing live souring lactobacillus bacteria into their brewery. It has a simple grain bill of pilsner malt and wheat malt, a sprinkling of herbaceous Saaz hops, salt and coriander. The driving force behind this unique take on a Gose is Lallemand’s WildBrew Philly Sour™ yeast. The yeast is a unique species (Lachancea) which produces lactic acid during the ferment. It was isolated from a cemetery of all places!
Careful adherence to the fermentation instructions will yield a delicious low abv (4.8%) sour beer with red apple and stone fruit notes. Further refermentation on boysenberries will add a wonderful blood red (cemetery sunset) colour, a big, juicy fruit flavour and additional acidity. Pucker up!
ABV: 4.8%
