American Pilsner
Style: American Megabrewery Pilsener
ABV: 4.4%
Color: Golden

Do you like beer from the big American breweries?

Pale color, light body, and little hop presence. We use a special combination of malt extracts - made from malted barley and rice.  This recipe doesn't have any nasty off-flavors, because we don't use cheap corn syrup or glucose!  The trick to this style is developing a recipe that is light in color and body, without heaviness of flavor or body while avoiding blandness.  This lager ferments well at a wide range of fermentation temperatures, thanks to the special Tuborg family yeast strain. Good results can be achieved at temperatures between 50 and 74 degrees, so a good comfortable room or basement is all you need.

Apricot Ale
Style: Fruit Style Beer
ABV: 6.0%
Color: Golden

Do you like Magic Hat Number 9™ Ale?

The secret to that famous microbrewed ale is Apricot, and we've been eager to introduce our own version. This is a relatively straightforward American-style Pale Ale with a modest hop profile, with the addition of three pounds of seedless apricots PLUS natural apricot flavor extract. Those extra ingredients don't make this recipe any harder to brew, and the results are worth a few extra bucks!

Australian Beer
Style: Pilsener
ABV: 4.9%
Color: Golden

Do you like Foster's™ Lager?

A brisk, refreshing lager. Golden color, with more flavor and body than the American-style pilsner beers. The malt extract we use is designed to give the beer a beautiful pale golden color, and hops from Australia and New Zealand give their characteristic flavor and aroma. This lager ferments well at a wide range of fermentation temperatures, thanks to the special "Tuborg" family yeast strain. Good results can be achieved at temperatures between 50 and 74 degrees, so a good comfortable room or basement is all you need.

Belgian Trippel Trappist Pale Ale

Style: Belgian Golden Trappist Ale
ABV: 7.9%
Color: Deep Golden

There's a lot of variation in the Trappist style ales.  Our Belgian Trippel is relatively pale in color, has a strong bread-like maltiness, and it's stronger in alcohol.  No lactic acid bacteria are during fermentation, so there is no acidic sourness in the flavor profile.  Made with continental European hops, a combination of German and Belgian barley malts and Belgian candi sugar (beet sugar.)  Trippel should be bottle aged for at least 3-6 weeks, but will continue to improve for many months.

Blackberry Wheat

ABV: 6.0%
Color: Blackberry Tinted Golden

It takes a lot of ingredients to make a fruit-style wheat beer right, but the results are worth it!  After all, you can't expect much if you just throw some blackberry flavoring into a plain wheat beer. Our blackberry wheat recipe kit starts with a full strength wheat beer, which is designed to be very mild so it won't overpower the delicate fruit flavor. Then we add 3 pounds of seedless blackberry puree. The puree is seedless and sterile, which means you don't have to spend time removing tiny seeds and crushing fruit. The natural fruit sugar in the pureed blackberry has the bonus side effect of boosting the alcohol content! To round out the fruit profile, the recipe also includes 4 ounces of natural blackberry flavoring. At bottling time, add the blackberry flavoring until the beer is perfect for your taste.  Also included with this recipe is a packet of pectic enzyme, which is necessary to remove the haze caused by real fruit.

Blond Ale

Style: American Blond Ale
ABV: 4.2%
Color: Golden

This new style is a variation on the "Pale Ale" theme, made popular by microbreweries and brewpubs. The body and color are lighter than British pale ales, which tend towards full body and amber color.  Blond ale's hop bitterness is reduced, but it still has the generous hop flavor and aroma of an IPA. This beer is easy to drink; Blond Ale has been quite popular since we introduced it in 1999. A great hot weather beer, or for any time you want a lighter beer which has interesting flavor and aroma.

Bock - German Helles Bock / Maibock

Style: German-style Maibock or Helles Bock
ABV: 6.8%
Color: Deep Golden

This is the strongest light-colored German beer style. Intense gold color with very crisp and clean flavor. Maibock is less sweet and a bit lighter-bodied than the darker traditional bock beers. Maibock also has a bit more hops, but the dominant flavor is still that of malt. With more than 9 pounds of malt extract, we don't skimp on ingredients for our bock kits! (There are a lot of weak bock kits on the market.) This lager ferments well at any steady temperature between 48-65 degrees, but thanks to the "Tuborg" yeast strain we use, you also get good results at room temperature. Bocks fermented at room temperature will benefit from some extra bottle aging time. Bock, like other strong lagers, benefits from cold aging. You should store the bottles at room temperature for at least 2-3 weeks while carbonation develops, then move the bottles to a cool place or into a refrigerator if you have space.

Imperial Ale - 60 Minute

Style: American Imperial Pale Ale
ABV: 6.0%
Color: Golden

Do you like Dogfish Head 60-Minute IPA™?

The Imperial Pale Ale style has gained popularity in recent years.  Rocketing straight to our top-ten most popular recipes in less than a year, this one is guaranteed to make all hop-heads smile.  A little stronger than your average IPA, and with more hops than a normal IPA would contain.  Additionally, there is less non-fermentable sugar in the beer because crystal malt's presence is quite low.  The result is a medium-full bodied beer wit aggressive hop bitterness, rich hop flavor, and powerful hop aroma.

A very unique German beer style. This is a light-colored ale with medium body. The yeast used to make Kolsch gives the beer a characteristic dry, almost wine-like flavor. Although this is a special hybrid ale/lager yeast strain, it does not require any special care.  You can treat it just like a normal ale fermentation. The results will speak for itself. Hop flavor and aroma are moderate.

Mexican Cervesa

Style: Cervesa
ABV: 4.5%

Do you like Corona™ or Dos Equis™?

This recipe was an instant hit, and has remained one of our best sellers. It has a light golden color, and a flavor that's lively and refreshing on the palate. The body is light and delicate, making this a very easy-drinking beer. The strain of lager yeast used in this beer is tolerant of a wide range of temperatures, so even room temperature will give good results.  If you ferment the beer at room temperature, the flavor will smooth out if you can refrigerate your bottles for a week or two after giving them a chance to carbonate.  The "Cervesa" style is actually a new-world version of classic German beer. This is a great recipe to brew for your friends who aren't interested in exotic beer styles, but everyone can enjoy our "North Of The Border" Cervesa. You supply the limes!

Pilsner - Czech Style

Style: Czech-Style Pilsener
ABV: 4.9%
Color: Golden

Do you like Pilsner Urquell™ or Budvar™?

This is our version of the style that originated the Pilsner name.  Czech pilsner is a moderately-light bodied beer with golden color.  Imported hops from the Czech Republic and Germany are used for flavor and aroma.  Our "Home Brewdvar" recipe uses a large amount of relatively low-power hops to achieve its highly-hopped flavor, so it's rich in secondary hop characteristics instead of just plain bitterness.  This recipe ferments well at a wide range of fermentation temperatures, thanks to the authentic Czech strain of "Tuborg" pilsner yeast we use.  Good results can be achieved at temperatures between 50 and 74 degrees, so a good comfortable room or basement is all you need.  Czech Pilsner that's warm-fermented will mellow out a lot if you give the bottles some cold lagering time in the refrigerator after they've had a chance to carbonate.

Strawberry Blond

Style: Specialty Fruit Beer
ABV: 4.2%
Color: Golden with a hint of rose tint

Everyone loves this style, but we had a tough time replicating it. Real strawberries added to blond ale were messy and lacked enough "punch" to effect the flavor, and regular strawberry extracts tasted very fake - or they tasted like the wrong thing. Finally we found a great natural strawberry extract that did the job, just remember to refrigerate it (along with the yeast) when it arrives. This is a golden-colored beer with a hint of pink, and the hops are present but toned-down to allow strawberries to shine through.

Summer Lemon Ale

Style: Specialty Fruit-style Blond Ale
ABV: 4.2%
Color: Golden

This is a very refreshing beer, with medium body and a moderate hopping level that compliments the fruit flavor rather than competing with it. After experimenting with real lemon juice (too acidic!) we settled on a great natural lemon extract that works perfectly with this style. The lemon flavoring extract we use doesn't have preservatives in it, so remember to refrigerate the little lemon extract packet when you unpack your shipment.

Wheat Beer - American Style

Style: American Wheat beer
ABV: 5.0%
Color: Golden

American wheat beer has a light, crisp, refreshing flavor.  They're fermented with yeast strains which produces little or no fruity-ester flavors, giving them a "cleaner" flavor compared to most German or Belgian wheat beers. We use American wheat malt extract instead of a British extract - British extracts are a bit cheaper but usually darker and lower in wheat content. This recipe uses 65% wheat extract - usually more above 50% = more wheat character.

Wheat Beer - German Wheat or Hefeweizen

Style: German Wheat beer
ABV: 5.0%
Color: Golden

German wheat beer is light and crisp, and has less hop character than American wheat beer.  The predominant flavor of German wheat beers comes from the use  of special yeast, which produces fruity-esters to a greater or lesser degree. These fruity esters can make the beer taste like someone spiced it with banana, clove, and nutmeg - but these flavors all derive from the yeast, no fruit or spice is used.  Higher fermentation temperatures of 75-80 degrees will increase ester production in almost any yeast, while lower temperatures 65-70 degrees will minimize ester production.

Wit Beer - Belgian Witbier

Style: Belgian-Style Wit
ABV: 4.9%
Color: Golden

Wit beer is a very pale beer that's served cloudy.  This recipe has a moderately light body and a low level of flavor and aroma hops.  It's a light and delicate wheat beer made with a special yeast culture that produces flavors which are tart and slightly phenolic. This recipe is also spiced with coriander and curacao orange peel in addition to noble hops. Witbier is different from other wheat beers not only because of the spices, but also due to the use of raw, unmalted wheat.
