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.

An authentic Brown Ale with a dark-fruit character.

Our English Brown Ale has a dark brown appearance from a range of speciality malts employed in the recipe. The resulting beer has an array of flavours that includes raisins, plums, figs, nuts, biscuits, caramel and toffee, that last into the finish. The hops provide a moderate level of bitterness that helps balance the dark-fruit malt flavours.

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, 18 Bitterness Units and 25 SRM/50 EBC colour.

Ferment at 23°C/73°F.

An easy drinking pint.

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 used is an 11g pack of Nottingham ale yeast.

Ideally, ferment at 73°F/23°C for 4 days, after which time the S.G. should be close to 1.011.

A flavourful American Pale Ale.

Our American Pale Ale has an amber appearance with a prominent bitterness. Due to ale and crystal malts used, it has a steady malt flavour with a touch of bready and toasty notes.

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.

Ferment at 23°C/73°F.

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)

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.

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.
