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.

This is the 800g can only. We also sell this as part of a 10L kit including dry malt extract and yeast. It can be used in BOTH the Premium Lager and the Blonde Ale recipes, with a different yeast in each case.

Food grade diammonium phosphate (DAP). This is pure fermentable nitrogen and phosphorus to help provide a healthy fermentation in low nutrient washes. A key ingredient for many sugar-based distilling washes but can be useful in any fermentation where yeast nutrients need to be added.

The Ted's Fast Ferment Vodka recipe requires 1/2 teaspoon for a 23L wash with 4kg of sugar.

Species: Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Profile: This terrific all-round yeast can be used for almost any beer style, and is a mainstay of one of our local homebrewers, Mr. Denny Conn. It is unique in that it produces a big mouthfeel and accentuates the malt, caramel, or fruit character of a beer without being sweet or under-attenuated.

Metric Temperature Range: 15-21 °C

FLOCCULATION: Low
ATTENUATION: 74 - 76
ABV: 10

IN-STOCK YEAST: We maintain stock of high-selling liquid yeasts in the shop, to make it easy for anyone who needs liquid yeast in a hurry. These will always be sold within the best before date. If a strain is out of stock, then it won't show up as an option for you to purchase. If you want the freshest liquid yeast, or if we are out of stock, consider using the pre-order option. Pre-ordered yeasts are ordered directly from the manufacturer on your behalf and we do not use in-stock yeast to fulfil pre-orders.

PREORDER DEADLINE: Every 2 months we place a liquid yeast order with Wyeast. All pre-orders placed will be part of our next order from the supplier, subject to the supplier having your pre-ordered strain in stock.

We place our orders on or after the 20th of the month. The deadline to ensure your pre-order is included is midnight the day before.

All pre-orders will be available for pickup or shipping after we receive the yeast which is usually around the first week of the month.

*Note: we will ship your order when your yeast arrives, so if you wish to place an order for other items and want to receive them sooner, please place a separate order.

This is a blend of non-GMO yeast strains that have been carefully selected to aid in the release of bound thiol compounds by targeting high enzymatic B-lyase activity. Providing a balance of tropical flavors and aromas, such as passionfruit, grapefruit, and mango, that’s perfect for a juicy, hazy IPA!

This recipe was not specifically designed to be consistent with the BJCP style guides, but we believe it is similar to 18B - American Pale Ale.

A whirlpool addition with a dangerous amount of hops (Citra, Nelson Sauvin, Mosaic & Cascade) supported by a light malt base will pull you into your glass smelling the citrusy goodness.

Our kits are fresh! We assemble the ingredients after you place your order. The grain bill will be milled, unless you tell us in your order comments that you prefer it not to be.

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.

SMOOTH, CRISP & TOASTED-LY, MALTY!

Munton’s MaltZeit is made with 100% Vienna Malt, keeping it as true as possible to style. It’s smooth, malty, and slightly toasted notes provide a crisp European lager enhanced by thei ncluded 30g Hallertau dry hop pellets. 

This is a bulk product - one unit equals 1kg.
*Note: 25kg bulk orders will not be milled, you will need your own grain mill. View our range of grain mills here.

Gladfield Munich malt is germinated similar to the Vienna malt using slightly higher nitrogen barley to create more intense colour through greater maillard reactions. This is achieved with a kilning regime that includes higher levels of moist air recirculation during the early and intermediate stages of the kilning cycle followed by high final curing temperatures. The resulting malt is rich, sweet, toasty and biscuity with a touch of breadiness.
This malt is ideal for darker style Lagers or Ales and high alcohol beers.

WLP004 is from one of the oldest stout-producing breweries in the world. It’s great for many beer styles but really shines in malty British styles such as stouts, porters and brown ales. Medium attenuation helps with a dry finish that promotes roasty notes. Esters help round out the overall flavor making a soft drinkable stout.

Midwestern Ale yeast is a single strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae isolated from a storied brewery in the heartland of America, well suited for fermentation across a broad style spectrum. A relatively fast fermenter with good attenuation, this yeast also has a highly tunable ester profile intensity based on fermentation temperature. This yeast is a great choice for a versatile house yeast.

This northern European lager strain emphasizes clean and crisp characteristics. Malt flavors tend to be secondary, promoting clean drinkability. It is ideal for Vienna, schwarzbier or American-style lagers.

Brewed by Annie Johnson at the 2018 New Zealand Home-brewers' Conference, this is a punchy yet highly drinkable example of the Saison style. Featuring a combination of Riwaka and Wakatu hops, with small additions of oats and rye to add complexity

This is the all grain version.
