A traditional Bohemian Pilsner with a rich, complex maltiness and a crisp finish.

Our Bohemian Pilsner is deep gold in appearance with a high bitterness and long lasting creamy head. The yeast employed is a classic German Pilsner yeast that leaves a very clean taste.

The yeast under the lid is an 11g pack of Fermentis S-23 lager yeast.

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, 37 Bitterness Units and 6 SRM/12 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.

As an option, hop aroma and taste can be elevated if the brewer makes a hop tea of 1-2 oz. (28-56 grams) of any Czech (or German) 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 pleasant Premium Lager with a clean taste profile.

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.

The yeast supplied is an 11.5g pack of Fermentis S-23 lager yeast.

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, 18 Bitterness Units and 3.5 SRM/7 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.

Loaded with hoppy goodness, IPA’s are renowned for their flavour packed punch.

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.

Taiheke hops are New Zealand’s version of the US Cascade variety.  We think you’re going to fall in love with them.

In the pack:

• 800g IPA Liquid Malt
• 2 x 645g Dry Malt
• Nottingham Ale Yeast
• 100 grams Taiheke hops

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.
