This recipe was not specifically designed to be consistent with the BJCP style guides, but we believe it is similar to 04A - Munich Helles.

A not quite traditional German Helles lager brewed using Best Malz. This malt is newly available in New Zealand after centuries of production in Germany. Light and highly sessionable, perfect for a hot day.

We used some Hallertau Blanc to give it a subtle fruity twist - don't tell the Germans!

ABV: 5.0%

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.

This beer was brewed for the NZ Hops release party of the Hort 4337 trial hop, but thanks to Covid19 that didn't happen. Good news for you - instead of going to a group of commercial brewers & hop growers, it's now available for sale - and this is the kit to brew it yoursel! It's loaded with 4337 hops with a little backup of Mosaic hops.

The malt is mainly Pilsner & Vienna by BestMalz from Germany supported by two different types of Oats and some wheat malt.

Target ABV: 6.5%

A blend of hop varieties produces the characteristic bitterness and aroma of this refreshing lager.

Ingredients
- Malts - lager
- Hops -Green Bullet, Pacific Jade
- Water
- Yeast (under the lid)

6+/-2 EBC (Colour), 20+/-2 EBU (Bitterness)

Centennial is an aroma-type cultivar, bred in 1974 and released in 1990. The genetic composition is 3/4 Brewers Gold, 3/32 Fuggle, 1/16 East Kent Golding, 1/32 Bavarian and 1/16 unknown.

A relatively new hop on the market, this hop used to be called CFJ90. Described by some as a "Super Cascade" and we tend to agree, but it's not nearly as "citrusy". Some even use it for aroma as well as bittering. Bitterness is quite clean and can have floral notes depending on the boil time. (alpha acid: 9.5-11.5% / beta acid: 4.0-5.0%)

LalBrew® Verdant IPA was specially selected in collaboration with Verdant Brewing Co. (UK) for its ability to produce a variety of hop-forward and malty beers. Prominent notes of apricot and undertones of tropical fruit and citrus merge seamlessly with hop aromas.

With medium-high attenuation, LalBrew® Verdant IPA leaves a soft and balanced malt profile with slightly more body than a typical American IPA yeast strain. This highly versatile strain is well suited for a variety of beer styles including NEIPA, English IPA, American Pale, English Bitter, Sweet Stout and Sours.

Loaded with hoppy goodness, IPA’s are renowned for their flavour packed punch. This has been our most requested beer style ever, and so, we bring you our 23 Litre IPA kit. 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.

This is the 800g can only. We also sell this as part of a 10L kit including dry malt extract and yeast.

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 1.7kg can only. We also sell this as part of a 23L 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.

Golden Oat Malt is our newest malt using our Big O grain. The oats are germinated in the same way as our Big O Malt, then roasted in small batches to ensure even saccharification and colour, just as our crystal malt recipe. Gladfield Golden Oat is crystalised in its own husk giving you better lautering and adding a creamy texture and a beautiful orange hue colour to your beer. 

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.

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.

This is a concentrated essence to use wherever you want to easily add a specific flavour. Maybe a strawberry blonde ale?

The best way to use these in beer brewing (or any other liquid) is to take multiple samples of a specific volume (i.e. 200ml) and dose them using a pipette in different concentrations - then compare and pick the one you like most - then scale up from there. A little can go a long way!

Works also great for baking & cooking.

Made from natural strawberry oils.

Species: Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Profile: A rich mineral profile that is bold and crisp with some fruitiness. Often used for higher gravity ales and when a high level of attenuation is desired.

Metric Temperature Range: 15-22 °C

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.

Species: Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Profile: A complex alternative to the standard German wheat strain profile. This strain produces apple, pear, and plum esters in addition to the dominant banana character. The esters are complemented nicely by clove and subtle vanilla phenolics. The balance can be manipulated towards ester production through increasing fermentation temperature, increasing the wort density, and decreasing the pitch rate. Over pitching can result in a near complete loss of banana character. Decreasing the ester level will allow a higher clove character to be perceived. Sulfur is commonly produced, but will dissipate with conditioning. This strain is very powdery and will remain in suspension for an extended amount of time following attenuation. This is true top cropping yeast and requires fermentor headspace of 33%.

Metric Temperature Range: 18-24 °C

FLOCCULATION: Low
ATTENUATION: 70 - 76
ABV: 10

Pure Liquid Malt Extract provides vital fermentables, flavours and aroma to form the perfect base for individual extract brewing recipes. It also allows you to increase alcohol while giving your beer superior body and mouthfeel.

This is cold filled into a pouch, instead of a can, to retain all the delicate flavours and aromas which are lost using the traditional canning process.

Use as a base for your own extract beer recipes or as an enhancer to boost alcohol, body and flavour to any beer kit, all-grain, or extract beer recipes.

Our best-selling yeast is famous for its clean flavors, balance, and ability to be used in almost any style of ale. It is extremely versatile and accentuates hop flavors well. A great all-purpose strain and a hardy fermenter.

Recommended as an alternative to Wyeast WY 1056 American Ale Yeast.
