A 25kg bag of dextrose. If you use a lot, then why not buy in bulk and save?

Dextrose is popular as a fermentable sugar due to it's high level of fermentability. It will also give you a cleaner fermentation
Use Dextrose/Glucose powder to produce a better quality wash for distilling. Substitute for the same weight of cane sugar.

If used as an ingredient in brewing beer, it will result in a dryer beer (less flavour) than if using pure malt extract or LME.
Also available in 1kg bags.

A unique lager strain because it can ferment at a wide range of temperatures, 58 to 65°F (14–18°C), while retaining lager-like characteristics. This strain is traditionally used to brew the California common or steam beer styles. At lower temperatures can also produce märzens, pilsners and Helles style lagers.

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.

A delicious Oatmeal stout we brewed in collaboration with Craig Boon from Dunedin. It's the perfect winter warmer.

A great malt bill supported by Goldings fermented with a neutral yeast (US-05).

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.

Species: Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Profile: A mildly malty and slightly fruity fermentation profile. It is less tart and dry than Wyeast 1098 British Ale. With good flocculation characteristics, this yeast clears well without filtration. Low fermentation temperatures will produce a clean finish with a very low ester profile.

Metric Temperature Range: 18-24 °C

FLOCCULATION: Medium - High
ATTENUATION: 68 - 72
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.

The Lactobacillus Blend is comprised of one strain of Lactobacillus plantarum and two strains of Lactobacillus brevis. One of the strains of L. brevis was isolated from an unintentionally sour hoppy blonde ale from a Mexican craft brewery, and exhibits strong hop tolerance (15-20 IBU). Ideal for broad spectrum acidification, from kettle souring to extended aging. The higher the temperature up to 90 °F, the faster the acid production.
