Brewing beer made simple

Brewing from kits couldn't be easier. Two can kits, such as the Microbrewery series (Pride of Yorkshire) need no aditional sugar and result in a superb beer. Single can kits, such as Coopers, require aditional sugar, preferably in the form of dry malt extract, brewing sugar or a beer enhancer to give a better end product. All you need to do, essentially, is: Sanitise a fermentation bin, boil up some water, dissolve the contents of the can(s) in the fermantation bin with the hot water, add sugar if the kit requires it, make up the volume with water, add the yeast and wait. In around a week, you can bottle or keg your beer.

ALMONDBURY OLD is a traditional Old Ale, a style which has enjoyed a renaissance among the new breed of micro brewers.

HONLEY MILD is a traditional English mild ale. Dark, soft and lightly hopped. Very refreshing and ideal for any time of year.

INDIA PALE ALE is a true classic. in the time of the British Raj very strong pale ales were sent to India by sea. These ales were very high in both alcohol and hops to preserve them on their long sea journey. Generally they would be diluted to a more 'quaffable' alcohol level before drinking in India. This is our interpretation of how a true IPA would have tasted.

Bavarian Wheat Beer (Weissbier)
Wheat beers are deservedly popular all over the world but until now have been difficult to brew at home. For the malt extract we have used the classic ratio of 55% wheat and 45% barley and the Hallertauer Hersbrucker hops give just a delicate hint of bitterness. Although we have used a bottom fermenting yeast, the characteristic estery flavours are much in evidence when fermenting at warmer temperatures (20°C - 25°C). We are very proud of our wheat beer and are sure that lovers of this unique style will not be disappointed. Best bottled but can be served from a keg if preferred.
San Francisco Steam Beer
Probably the only indigenous American beer style, this beer is neither an ale nor a lager as it is fermented warm with a bottom fermenting yeast. This example emerges with a malty profile balanced by a generous quantity of American Cascade hops. This beer should always be bottled.

A well-hopped, copper coloured bitter in the traditional London style. The delightful flavour and aroma of First Gold hops lingers on the palate. Excellent on draught and bottled.

The pilsners of southern Germany are generally softer and less bitter than their northern counterparts. This fine example is perfectly balanced with a delicate bitterness provided by Hallertauer Hersbrucker hops. Although it is acceptable to ferment this beer at room temperature, a cleaner taste will result from the genuine bottom fermenting yeast if the temperature can be held between 12°C and 16°C. Best bottled but can be served from a keg if preferred.
