Description

A classic Golden Ale for the warmer summer months, delicate hop character from the East Kent Goldings used on the Dry hop and subtle yeast character from WHC Bond, light golden in colour and refreshingly moreish – light malt notes balanced with subtle bitterness come together to bring a pint that you’ll want to enjoy with friends in the warmer 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.

Fermentation temperature/steps: 19c – 7-10 Days, ideally raising to 21c for the final few days of fermentation to complete a Diacetyl rest. Following this, if possible cool to 14c before adding dry hops.

Secondary additions:

Once your beer has finished fermenting and the gravity is stable for 2 consecutive days, cool to 14c and add your dry hop addition. Leaving these in contact with the beer for 48-72 hours. Following this cold crash to 4c for 2-4 days before moving on to packaging your beer.

Add your dose of Brausol to the fermenter also 2-4 days before packaging as this will allow for enough time to clear your finished beer before packaging.

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.

To check if your beer has finished fermenting take a sample and measure with a Hydrometer, if it has achieved final gravity and the reading remains the same for 2-3 days then its time to move on to the next step (outlined in your instructions before adding the Brausol and cold crashing the beer, this is where you need to get it cold for a few days so that it clears.

Once clear it’s time to package your beer, 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 cool for a period time, a week minimum, 4 weeks would be great if you can wait that long.

Then it’s time to drink and enjoy your home brewed beer, cheers!!
