We've used rich cocoa bean husks from Hogarth's, one of the best chocolate makers in the country that has won multiple awards, and used it to create a creamy oatmeal stout melded with rich chocolate flavour - coming out at a very sessionable ABV. Decadence in a glass. Get it while we still have cocoa bean husks in stock!

Target ABV: 4.5%

BEST Wheat Malt emphasizes the effervescent freshness and typical top-fermented flavor of wheat beer. It is produced exclusively from high-quality brewing wheat. As it has a higher protein content than a Pilsen malt, BEST Wheat Malt is not only suited to producing typical wheat beers, but also enhances the mouth feel and improves the foam of all top-fermented beer styles. The malting process has been adapted to the raw material to guarantee excellent processability. 

EBC 3.6 to 6

Species: Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Profile: A true top cropping yeast with low ester formation and a broad temperature range. Fermentation at higher temperatures may produce mild fruitiness. This powdery strain results in yeast that remains in suspension post fermentation. Beers mature rapidly, even when cold fermentation is used. Low or no detectable diacetyl.

Species: Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Profile: A strong fermenting, true top cropping yeast that produces a dry, slightly tart, crisp beer. Ideal for beers where low ester profile is desirable.

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.

Species: Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Profile: Very clean, crisp flavor characteristics with low fruitness and mild ester production. A very versatile yeast for styles that desire dominant malt and hop character. This strain makes a wonderful "House" strain. Mild citrus notes develop with cooler 60-66F (15-19C) fermentations. Normally requires filtration for bright beers.

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.

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.
