Java Porter Extract Kit

Using a time tested porter recipe, we decided to pair it with Bjava Guatemalan Rio Azul coffee. Rich chocolate and caramel flavors are accentuated by 'dry coffeeing' in the secondary fermenter. Nothing like a good 'ol cup of coffee in the morning! We like to use Wyeast Scottish Ale yeast 1728 to provide some residual sweetness.

Flat 12 Bierwerks 12 Penny Scottish Ale Extract Kit

A perfect choice for those that want a full flavored, low alcohol beer so you can have a couple. The Scottish Ale yeast has a pretty wide fermentation temperature range so we fermented at 58F and lagered the beer for 6 weeks. It has a slight maltiness, but also as a nice clean finish from the lengthy cold storage. Flat 12 brewer Rob Caputo collaborated with us on this session ale with plenty of flavor. A commercial hit when Flat 12 introduced it.

Easy Wheat Extract Kit

Liquid wheat extract with a little pale malt and carapils for body provide a versatile base beer that is light, crisp, and refreshing. For a German style wheat beer with the signature banana/clove flavors, use Wyeast 3068 Weihenstephan or 3056 Bavarian wheat yeasts. For a more neutral American wheat beer flavor, try Wyeast 1010 American Wheat yeast. This beer works well as the base for fruit beers. To compliment the fruit, try a yeast that provides a bit of sweetness in the finish, such as Wyeast 1272 American Ale II or Wyeast 1187 Ringwood Ale.

Magical Mild Ale Extract Kit

The Magical Mild Ale is a traditional British-style mild ale. Malty and rich, yet low in alcohol and light on the palate, a mild ale is a wonderful beer that goes down easy, pint after pint. Our interpretation has mild malt for dextrins to promote body and flavor. Amber malt gives this beer a smooth nuttiness, and Simpson's dark crystal gives it just the right amount of residual sweetness. The palate is rounded out by pale chocolate malt, which contributes color as well as a lovely roastiness. With English East Kent Goldings hops for bitterness and flavor, this beer is a beautiful tribute to the session beers found in pubs all over the British Isles. Brew a batch today and see what the magic is all about!

If you like chocolate, you will love this beer.
