Description

Long evenings, outside sat around a fire with friends, enjoying sips of deep red/copper resin laden this glorious Red IPA. Subtle malt notes of toffee and caramel combine with classic west coast hop character for that distinctive note of pine, resin & citrus. We can’t think of a better beer for those long summer nights and cooler autumn evenings.

Fresh Wort Kits are an amazing way to produce commercial quality beer at home with basic equipment. No experience of home brewing is required, simply follow the instructional videos and share awesome beer with your friends and family.

Unlike traditional beer kits that are made from malt extract, our Fresh Wort Kits are produced in a professional brew house into bag in a box style packaging. This means all the fresh flavours the team at the brewery magic into their wort are available for our customers to then complete the brewing process at home.

Simply pour the Fresh Wort Kit into a fermenter, top up to 20ltrs and add the yeast. Commercial beer at home with ease.

Process:

Fresh wort kit brewing is the way to easily make your own beer at home without all the brewing time and costly equipment.

Ensure your fermenter is clean and sanitised, add the wort into your fermenter. Add water into the wort bag to rinse out and top up the fermenter to 20ltrs. Then add your yeast which is included and place in a warmish place where it will be at the instructions temperature.

Yeast: WHC – LAX
Fermentation temperature/steps: Pitch yeast at 19c, allow for primary fermentation to take place, approximately 7-10 days – check gravity is stable for 2 days before raising temperature to 21c for a Diac rest. To check if your beer has finished fermenting take a sample and measure with a Hydrometer. After this, cool to 14c (soft crash), remove the yeast slurry if you are able to and then move on to dry hop.

Secondary additions:

Add 100g Simcoe & 100g Amarillo Dry Hops at the end of fermentation and after the diac rest, ideally dry hop at 14c. Allow for 72 hours contact time with the hops before cold crashing to 4c. Once at cold crash, allow to sit for 3-4 days before adding your dose of brausol – leave to stand for a further 2 days before packaging – check the clarity of the beer before packaging, as it may need a day or two more to fully clear.

If you have a fermenter capable of dumping yeast and hops, remove the yeast once the beer hits the 14c soft crash point and also remove the hops from the FV after the 72 hour contact period before cold crashing. Equally, if you wish to get more from your dry hop addition and have the ability to bubble CO2 through the bottom of your fermenter, this can be done 24 hours after adding your dry hop addition and will push the hops back up into the beer to gain more extraction from them.

Once the beer is clear it’s time to package, this can be either into a keg or bottles. If using bottles don’t forget to add sugar to the bottles, you can calculate the amount you need using our online calculator, if you are carbonating using sugar you will need to keep the packaged beer somewhere warm again so that the yeast eats the sugar and produces the carbon dioxide.

The next step is condition your beers, this means you need to place them somewhere cold for a period time, a week minimum, 4 weeks would be great if you can wait that long.

Then its time to drink and enjoy your home brewed beer, cheers!!
