This recipe was not specifically designed to be consistent with the BJCP style guides, but we believe it is similar to 20B - American Stout.

40 Nights is one of our quarantine brews, making sure that we are ready for these cold winter nights that have suddenly arrived. Brewed with Gladfield malts, showcasing roast barley, light chocolate, dark crystal and rolled oats for body on an American Ale and Munich malt base.

We still love hops, so it's an American Stout with a heap of Cascade in the boil and again as a 5 minute boil addition.

ABV: 5.3%

This recipe has been designed to use acid malt to reach the target mash pH. If you wish to use the recommended mineral additions to achieve the intended flavour profile, these are to be added to the boil only. This kit does not include the minerals, but these can be purchased separately.

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%

This recipe was not specifically designed to be consistent with the BJCP style guides, but we believe it is similar to 23A - European Sour Ale.

This is a great summer beer for those folks that'd like to have a tasty low ABV thirst quencher on tap. Targeting 3% ABV, easy to brew by avoiding kettle sour using the fantastic Philly Sour Yeast. Using Citra gives this beer a delicious citrus nose.

This German/American collaboration is a winner!

This recipe was not specifically designed to be consistent with the BJCP style guides, but we believe it is similar to 20A - American Porter.

This recipe is closely inspired by Denny Conn's famous porter recipe. Using all New Zealand malt, the hops are Tettnang and a bit of US Cascade (it's an American porter after all). The result is dark chocolate and coffee flavours balanced by caramel leading to a full body - the perfect brew for a cool evening.

Target ABV: 6.3%

This recipe is an American spin on the New Zealand Pilsner 2021 BJCP Style guide X5, created specifically to showcase the newly arrived American hop Alora.

Green Card is a recipe created for The League of Brewers by Jamie McQuillan of Cell Division Brewery.

Alora hops boast an abundant and unique oil profile. They deliver flavour and aroma of peach, apricot, sweet melon and yuzu, and are just begging to be unleashed on a hoppy NZ style Pilsner.

It is built upon a pale slightly bready malt base of Gladfield pilsner and wheat malt, with moderate bittering and herbal and citrus notes from the use of US cascade hops in the boil, followed by generous late additions and dry hopping with Alora hops. It’s likely that you will want to drink this beer as soon as you can, so to put an additional new spin on things a cool hybrid lager strain, NovaLager, is used. The finished beer will pour a pale golden colour with a frothy white head. It will drink dry, with a malty perception of sweetness, and an abundant and unique hop profile. You might just end up brewing and drinking this one all summer long.

Brew your on version of Fork Brewcorp's "Golden Handshake" Pilsner. This beer is a play on a German pilsner, but dry hopped with German noble hops. Also known as an Italian Pilsner.

A bit of malt sweetness to balance the hop bitterness with a refreshing dryness. BRONZE MEDAL at the 2019 Brewers Guild Awards.

ABV: 5.2%

This recipe is designed to be in keeping with the 2021 BJCP Style guide 5D - German Pils.

A German Pils should be a pale, dry, bitter German lager featuring a prominent hop aroma. Crisp, clean, and refreshing, with a bright golden colour and excellent head retention”. German all the way by design, Betsmalz Best pils makes up the bulk of the grist, with a touch of chit malt to ensure that a big fluffy head lingers to the bottom of your pint. Conforming to the Reinheitsgebot (German purity law), acidulated malt takes care of the pH adjustment of the mash, dialled in precisely to help deliver a crisp dry finish. Firm bittering with Hallertau Magnum hops and finishing with floral, herbal and spicy Tettnanger hops makes for maximum thirst quenching drinkability. Prost!
