A refreshing, easy-drinking Blonde Ale with a crisp palate.

Our Blonde Ale is yellow in appearance with a moderate bitterness. It sits in the Hybrid category of the BJCP Style Guidelines and is an ale version of a lager beer. It therefore ferments warm (23°C/73°F) with great efficiency with our ale yeast, but with the resulting taste profile being similar to that of a light lager.

Williams Warn no longer supply a 800g Blonde Ale can and this recipe uses the Premium Lager can, which has the same contents instead. The difference in the recipe is down to using a different yeast to the Premium Lager recipe.

The yeast under the lid is an 11g pack of Nottingham 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, 18 Bitterness Units and 3.5 SRM/7 EBC colour.

Ferment at 23°C/73°F.

A full-bodied English Pale Ale.

Our English Pale Ale has an amber appearance with a moderate bitterness. Technically, within the BJCP Style Guidelines it is a Standard Bitter – the lightest of the English bitter types with respect to alcohol content, colour and bitterness. This beer has a firm malty start, a touch of fruitiness from the yeast and a long dry finish from the hops.

The yeast under the lid is an 11g pack of Lallemand Nottingham 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, 20 Bitterness Units and 7 SRM/14 EBC colour.

Ferment at 23°C/73°F.

This Classic Lager is a New Zealand icon. If you're a supporter of NZ sport - you'll love this clean, bitter lager.

Brick Road Dry Lager and Brick Road Hopped Light malt brings the bitterness to the perfect level, and with the addition of Green Bullet hops you will recognise its distinctive taste. Use the yeast under the lid, or if you can control the fermentation temperature at 12-15 degrees, you can add an extra packet of lager yeast (included in this kit). Go New Zealand!

Loaded with hoppy goodness, IPA’s are renowned for their flavour packed punch.

When paired with Nottingham Ale Yeast and Taiheke hops, this IPA will finish clean and crisp with a deep golden hue and prominent fruit forward aromas as typically seen in ‘new world’ style pale ales.

Taiheke hops are New Zealand’s version of the US Cascade variety.  We think you’re going to fall in love with them.

In the pack:

• 800g IPA Liquid Malt
• 2 x 645g Dry Malt
• Nottingham Ale Yeast
• 100 grams Taiheke hops

A pleasant Premium Lager with a clean taste profile.

Our Premium Lager is yellow in appearance with a moderate bitterness. It is a satisfying beer that sits in between American Lagers and European Pilsners in character. The yeast employed will ferment clean and true-to-style. An agreeable drop that’s ideal for brewing for social events and therefore to be shown-off to your friends.

The yeast supplied is an 11.5g pack of Fermentis S-23 lager yeast.

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, 18 Bitterness Units and 3.5 SRM/7 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.

A traditional Bohemian Pilsner with a rich, complex maltiness and a crisp finish.

Our Bohemian Pilsner is deep gold in appearance with a high bitterness and long lasting creamy head. The yeast employed is a classic German Pilsner yeast that leaves a very clean taste.

The yeast under the lid is an 11g pack of Fermentis S-23 lager yeast.

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, 37 Bitterness Units and 6 SRM/12 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.

As an option, hop aroma and taste can be elevated if the brewer makes a hop tea of 1-2 oz. (28-56 grams) of any Czech (or German) 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). 

A refreshing, smooth-drinking Wheat Beer.

Our Wheat Beer has a straw-coloured appearance with a low bitterness. The malted wheat in the grain bill gives this beer a slightly grainy flavour with a creamy fullness that leads to a light finish. The yeast employed will provide decent levels of phenolic flavours and so this brew leans towards a fresh, German wheat beer in style.

The yeast under the lid is an 11g pack of Fermentis WB-06 wheat beer 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, 15 Bitterness Units and 3 SRM/6 EBC colour.

Ferment at 23°C/73°F.

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.

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.

Ferment at 23°C/73°F.
