  1. Williams Warn Dutch Pilsner 23/25 Litre Kit
    $58.10

    Williams Warn Dutch Pilsner 23/25 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.

    $57.00

    Williams Warn American Lager 23/25 Litre Kit

    A refreshing American Lager for those who appreciate one of the world’s most popular beer styles.

    Our American Lager is straw-coloured in appearance with a low bitterness. It is crisp, dry and thirst-stopping. The lager yeast employed will give some slightly fruity notes to add a pinch of character. The goal is a light-tasting beer with low levels of malt, hop and yeast character in perfect balance.

    The yeast supplied 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, 13 Bitterness Units and 3 SRM/6 EBC colour.

  3. Williams Warn Wheat Beer 23/25 Litre Kit
    $61.30

    Williams Warn Wheat Beer 23/25 Litre Kit

    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.

    Williams Warn Irish Red Ale 23/25 Litre Kit

    An easy drinking pint.

    Our Irish Red Ale has a deep-amber, light-copper appearance from crystal and black malts included in the recipe.

    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).
