This recipe was not specifically designed to be consistent with the BJCP style guides, but we believe it is similar to 17D - English Barleywine.

This limited edition recipe was originally the first in our new "Lallemand edition" series - sponsored by Lallemand and Gladfield! It proved so popular that we sold out so we've decided to keep it going without the free yeast (sorry!).

"By Jupiter" is our version of an English Barleywine - full of complex malt flavours balanced by English hops fermented with an English yeast. This kit contains 7.5kg delicious malt by Gladfield - plan your brew day accordingly, give the mash some time to fully convert & extract. 

We would probably bottle the whole batch just to experience the journey of how a high gravity beer (By Jupiter, the gravity!) develops over time.

Target ABV 8.5% & up (you can add sugar to boost the gravity if you prefer it stronger)

Our kits are fresh! We assemble the ingredients after you place your order. The grain bill will be milled, unless you tell us in your order comments that you prefer it not to be.

This recipe has been designed to be consistent with the 2015 BJCP Style guide 25C - Belgian Golden Strong Ale

Devilicious is a Belgian Golden Strong Ale recipe designed for The League of Brewers by Jamie McQuillan of Cell Division Brewery. The Trappist monks might well have been naughty devils coming up with such a spectacularly easy drinking beer for the abv, but we’re not complaining. Typical of the style, this recipe is built upon Pilsner malt, but also includes a touch of chit malt to encourage head formation, with the added bonus of improving your mash efficiency. But don’t blame us if the latter part works extra well!

This recipe has been designed to be consistent with the 2021 BJCP Style guide 17C - Wee Heavy.

Wee Willy is a Wee Heavy recipe designed for The League of Brewers by Jamie McQuillan of Cell Division Brewery. Also known as a Strong Scotch Ale, beers of this ilk came about during the 1800s in Scotland.

This recipe was fittingly designed in Dunedin, our very own Edinburgh of the south. The Scot’s knew what they were doing, as Wee Heavies are perfect for winter drinking and rainy days. This beer is full of deep and rich malty flavours and aromas. It exhibits bready, biscuity and gentle toasted notes with smooth toffee and caramel flavours which are rounded out with dried fruit esters and warming alcohol. The restrained but balancing level of bitterness, earthy floral hops, a full chewy mouthfeel and moderate levels of carbonation make for dangerously tasty drinking. So, don yer kilt and get brewing. Just like Haggis, it’ll taste as good as it sounds!

ABV: 6.8%
