Mangrove Jack’s Recipe Range gives you a flexible new way to brew at home. Start with one of six numbered malt extract cans, then brew it simply with dextrose or combine it with a Mangrove Jack’s Hop Blend, Brew Enhancer and Craft Series Yeast to create one of more than 40 different recipes. The formula stays the same — Can + Hop Blend + Enhancer + Craft Series Yeast = Recipe — but the beer you make is entirely up to you.

Mangrove Jack’s Recipe Range 4 Wheat is a hopped liquid malt extract base that delivers light wheat aromas, subtle hop character and a smooth, refreshing finish with gentle bitterness.

What Does 4 Wheat Taste Like?

4 Wheat produces a pale-gold beer with light wheat aromas, subtle hop character, a smooth mouthfeel and gentle bitterness.

Its light and refreshing base makes it ideal for a range of wheat beer styles, with the chosen hop blend and yeast determining whether the finished beer leans towards citrus, spice, fruit or a cleaner modern profile.

Two Ways to Brew

Brew a Simple Wheat Beer

Combine the can with 1kg of dextrose and use the 5g yeast sachet supplied under the lid.

This produces approximately 20 litres, or 35 pints, of smooth and refreshing wheat beer at around 4.6% ABV.

Build a Recipe Range Beer

Use 4 Wheat as the base and combine it with your chosen Mangrove Jack’s Hop Blend, Brew Enhancer and Craft Series Yeast.

Changing these three ingredients allows the same malt extract base to create a completely different finished beer.
