  2. Williams Warn Dutch Pilsner 10 Litre Kit
    $37.60

    Williams Warn Dutch Pilsner 10 Litre Kit

    This is a noble brew with a crisp finish.

    Our Dutch Pilsner is straw-coloured in appearance with a moderate, lingering bitterness. The yeast employed is a classic strain that leaves a slightly estery aroma that is typical of Pilsners from The Netherlands. When used with our light DME to make an all-malt beer, the combination of ingredients makes a Pilsner very true to the region.

    The yeast supplied is an 11g pack of Fermentis S-23 lager yeast which is commonly used by large breweries in Western Europe.

    Original Gravity of 1.045 (11.25°P), fermented to a Final Gravity of about 1.009 (2.3°P), resulting in 4.8% alcohol by volume, 22 Bitterness Units and 3 SRM/6 EBC colour.

    Ferment at 15°C/59°F for 3 days and then increase to 18°C/64°F for a diacetyl rest to complete fermentation after another 3 days. Cooling can be put on at Day 6 when the SG should be about 1.009.

    Williams Warn Dry Stout 10 Litre Kit

    A true Dry Stout with a compelling personality.

    Our Dry Stout has a black appearance from the crystal malts, roasted malts and roasted barley employed in the grain mix. The result is a great Dry Stout that has liquorice, roasted coffee and chocolate flavours dominating. The prominent hop bitterness level helps elevate the dryness, which comes from the roasted un-malted barley used.

    The yeast under the lid is an 11g pack of Fermentis S-04 yeast.

    Original Gravity of 1.045 (11.25°P), fermented to a Final Gravity of about 1.011 (2.75°P), resulting in 4.5% alcohol by volume, 32 Bitterness Units and 50 SRM/100 EBC colour.

    Our Irish Red Ale has a deep-amber, light-copper appearance from crystal and black malts included in the recipe. The malt focus gives this beer caramel, toffee and toasty notes and a slight dry, roasted-grain finish. The hops provide a moderate level of bitterness. Overall, this is an interesting beer that is a pleasure to produce and appreciate.

    The yeast under the lid is an 11g pack of Fermentis US-05 ale yeast.

    Original Gravity of 1.045 (11.25°P), fermented to a Final Gravity of about 1.011 (2.75°P), resulting in 4.5% alcohol by volume, 30 Bitterness Units and 6.5 SRM/13 EBC colour.

    To elevate the fresh hop aroma of this style, we recommend the brewer make a hop tea of 1-2 oz. (28-56 grams) of any American hops in a French coffee press. Add approx. 900ml of hot boiled water to the hops, stir and then steep for 20 minutes. Plunge the solids and add the green, filtered hop tea to the mix of ingredients in your fermenter (before adding the yeast)

    $39.80

    Williams Warn Wheat Beer 10 Litre Kit

    A refreshing, smooth-drinking Wheat Beer.

    Our Wheat Beer has a straw-coloured appearance with a low bitterness.
