About the Kitchen Brewer Range
Brewing 20l batches of beer just isn’t convenient for everyone. We also know that many of you would love to experience the joy of making your own all grain beer at home but space doesn’t permit. That’s why we’ve put together the Kitchen Brewer range. Featuring great recipes that come from our most popular bigger recipe kits and all the equipment you will need to make great tasting beer at home, using all grain, just like the pros. All these beer kits have been prepared and developed to work with the common method for stove top brewing, brew in the bag. The grain is crushed slightly finer to allow for maximum efficiency when mashing.

Excellent! Used this recipe in my Pinter and can honestly say there is no going back to buying Pinter packs. This is the way to use the Pinter. Forget LME. This is what fresh beer is about!! I can highly recommend this one. 👍
