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!

Barleywine

Style: English-style Barleywine
ABV: 9.8%
Color: Dark Copper Brown

This might be the biggest, strongest beer you'll ever brew! Deep copper color, with very full body and intense malt flavor. The maltiness is balanced with plenty of imported British hops. This recipe comes with 14 pounds of malt extract and 7 ounces of hops! A beer this strong may taste a bit rough around the edges when it's young, but it's fantastic after some bottle aging time. We suggest aging this beer in bottles at room or basement temperature for at least 4-6 months for best flavor. It will continue to improve for over 2 years!

Belgian Dubbel Dark Trappist Ale

Style: Belgian Dark Trappist Ale
ABV: 6.0%
Color: Brown

There is a lot of variation in Belgian and Belgian-style Trappist ales.  Our Belgian Dubbel recipe is brown in color, and moderate in alcohol strength. This recipe is all about malt - lots of malt flavor and aroma with a touch of cognac on the palate from the addition of imported Belgian candi sugar (beet sugar) and raw kosher honey. There is little or no hop bitterness, and no hop aroma. This beer is good to drink right away, but it also ages very nicely into a surprisingly mellow beverage.

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.

Belgian Quad Trappist Ale

Style: Belgian Dark Trappist Ale
ABV: 10.2%
Color: Brown

This is the strongest of the Trappist-style ales.  This is a beer that will hold up to many years of aging, and will definitely improve during its first year in the bottle.  Those choosing to keg this beer should set their system for a moderately low carbonation level, since the head-retention character of this beer is phenomenal!  With twice as much malt as a normal-strength beer, this is an extremely full-bodied, malty beer that's brewed with a combination of toasted, crystal, and de-husked roasted malts, and balanced with classic European hops.

Blackberry Wheat

Style: Fruit-style Wheat beer
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.

Bock - Traditional German Dark Bock

Style: German-style Traditional Bock
ABV: 6.8%
Color: Brown

A strong, full-flavored lager beer. Bock beer has big malty taste, deep copper color, and medium-full body. The flavors of malt and caramel dominate the moderate amount of hops used. There is no hop aroma. With 9.5 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.

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.

Bock - German Doppelbock

Style: German-style Doppelbock
ABV: 7.7%
Color: Copper Brown

This is a very strong, full-bodied lager beer. Doppelbock is the strongest of all German-style beers. Roasted malts contribute color to this beer, but the flavor is that of milder, sweeter malts. Alcohol content is quite high, and hop bitterness is just sufficient to prevent the malt sweetness from being cloying. However, hop bitterness is perceived as being low, while hop flavor and aroma are barely present.  With 11 pounds of malt extract, we don't skimp on ingredients for this one! (There are a lot of weak doppelbock kits on the market.) This is a very strong beer so the flavor will improve a lot with age, especially for the first 6 months. Store the bottles at room temperature for at least 2-3 weeks while carbonation develops, then move them to a cool location if you have one available.

Bock - Weizenbock

Style: German-style Weizenbock or Wheat Bock
ABV: 6.8%
Color: Amber

Weizenbock is another strong German beer.  But unlike the other bock styles, it's based on wheat malt and uses an ale-based Bavarian wheat beer yeast instead of a lager yeast. This is the powerhouse of all German wheat beers!  It's very full-bodied and rich compared to other wheat beers, and while the hop level is modest, it's definitely part of the flavor profile.

California Common - Ultimate Series

Style: California Common Beer
ABV: 5.5%
Color: Amber

Do you like Anchor Steam™?

This recipe is in the same style, except this ULTIMATE version is stronger. We can't call it "steam beer" because Anchor Brewing Company™ has copyrighted the word, so now the beer style is officially "California Common." This is a special type of lager which is meant to be fermented at warmer temperatures. Although other lagers can be warm fermented, this one must be.  Fermentation temperatures of 65 to 72 degrees are ideal.  This Ultimate version has more of everything - more malt extract for greater body & higher alcohol content, and more hops. The result is a remarkably balanced beer that's strong and hearty without going over the top.

Do you like Pete's Wicked Ale™?

This is our version of a justifiably popular microbrew. Our "Assateague's Awesome Ale" recipe kit is a little bit hard to categorize: you could think of it as either a "Dark IPA" or a "Strong Brown Ale." The beer is brown in color, but has the high hop flavor and aroma of a pale ale or IPA. The crisp hop bitterness is derived from generous portions of Northwestern US hops, with German and English hops also present in the mix. There's also plenty of malt for body and strength, and a blend of specialty grains for color and aroma.

The Imperial Pale Ale style has gained popularity in recent years.  Our 90-minute version just might be the strongest pale ale you'll actually enjoy drinking, with more than twice the malt of a regular recipe! Think of this as the granddaddy of IPA; it's actually very similar to English Barleywine except for the fact that 90-minute uses American malt and hops.  And speaking of hops, this recipe contains more than almost any other in our collection!  Far stronger than your average IPA, full-bodied but decidedly non-sweet.  This beer's character is almost completely based on hop bitterness, flavor, and aroma.

Imperial Stout - Russian Style

Style: Russian-style Imperial Stout
ABV: 7.4%
Color: Black

Very full bodied and quite strong.  Russian Imperial Stout has less hop bitterness than British Imperial Stout.  Legend has it that this style was brewed incredibly strong to survive the cold Russian winter. Russian Imperial Stout's aroma is predominantly malt and roasted malt instead of hops, is concentrates on the delicious flavors of caramel malt, roasted malt, and coffee-like roasted barley.  This beer is at its best after 8-12 weeks of bottle aging, and will continue to improve for months.  There may be too many weak "Imperial Stout" kits on the market, with 6 or 7 pounds of malt extract, but we don't skimp on this one!  Our Russian Imperial Stout recipe kit comes with 11 pounds of malt extract and 2 pounds of specialty grains.

Lambic - Cherry Lambic

ABV: 7.2%
Color: Red Gold

This is truly a connoisseur's beer.  It has tons of fruit flavor and aroma, with a tart sourness that comes from the presence of lactic acid bacteria in the fermentation.  The recipe includes over 6 pounds of sterile, seedless cherries, which saves you lots of time compared to removing seeds and crushing the fruit yourself. There's also 4 ounces of cherry flavoring, pectic enzyme, Belgian candi (beet) sugar, and a special live yeast culture with three strains of wild lambic bacteria. If you keg your beer, you can sweeten your Lambic just before force carbonation, and the results will be in the style of Lindemans™ lambic beers. If you use natural bottle conditioning, which includes mini-kegs or party pigs, the result will be a dry tart flavor similar to Liefmans™ lambic beers.

Lambic, Raspberry Lambic

Style: Belgian Fruit-style Lambic
ABV: 7.2%
Color: Red Gold

This is truly a connoisseur's beer.  It has tons of fruit flavor and aroma, with a tart sourness that comes from the presence of lactic acid bacteria in the fermentation.  The recipe includes over 6 pounds of sterile, seedless raspberries, which saves you lots of time compared to removing seeds and crushing the fruit yourself. There's also 4 ounces of raspberry flavoring, pectic enzyme, Belgian candi (beet) sugar, and a special live yeast culture with three strains of wild lambic bacteria. If you keg your beer, you can sweeten your Lambic just before force carbonation, and the results will be in the style of Lindemans™ lambic beers. If you use natural bottle conditioning, which includes mini-kegs or party pigs, the result will be a dry tart flavor similar to Liefmans™ lambic beers.

Oktoberfest - Ultimate Series

Style: Specialty Oktoberfest
ABV: 7.8%
Color: Amber

Our regular Oktoberfest recipe kit has become a best-seller, but we had people asking for a stronger version. Well, here it is! We increased the alcohol content by including more malt extract, plus enough German hops to put a bit more edge on this version of Oktoberfest. If you're a fan of strong, hoppy beers and want to celebrate the German way, this is just the ticket!  Ultimate Oktoberfest uses a combination on Pale, Munich, and Crystal malts to achieve rich malty flavor and full body.

Old Ale - British Style Strong Ale

Style: English Old Ale / Strong Ale
ABV: 7.7%
Color: Amber

Old ale is probably the strongest beer style that doesn't need long aging in order to taste good.  That's because it's well-balanced to avoid harshness when young.  Like all strong beers, however, it does improve with age.  Our "Thomas Nonsense!" recipe kit is very strong and medium-full bodied.  The color is deep copper to brown.  Malt characteristics are quite strong, and balanced by generous hop additions.  As it ages, these flavors marry... they blend and mellow each other.  Thomas Nonsense! contains not only British yeast strain, British hops, and British malt extract, but also two different British sugars.  The special sugars give Thomas Nonsense! the characteristic vinous (sherry or cognac-like) flavor of old ales.

Pale Ale - Ultimate Series

Style: American IPA
ABV: 5.9%
Color: Amber

Do you like Sierra Nevada Pale Ale™?

We started designing this recipe to duplicate this famous microbrew.  In the end, our Ultimate IPA came out a little stronger, but it was so good that we stuck with it.  Many customers who are big Sierra Nevada™ fans have reported that this recipe is even better, which is a great compliment!  This beer is not only one of our top 10 best-sellers, it's often the top seller.  This award-winning recipe produces a medium-bodied American-style IPA with amber color and lots of hop character.  Ultimate Pale Ale includes 6 separate hop additions!  We use 8 pounds of quality malt extract, plus a blend of toasted malt and several crystal malts in this recipe, along with hops from Washington and Oregon.  Dave Miller (author of "The Complete Handbook Of Homebrewing") once judged this beer and called it "A very nice example of the style."

Pale Ale - British Style "Rockfish Ale"

"Style: English Pale Ale
ABV: 5.5%
Color: Amber

Do you like Bass Ale™? 

Our "Rockfish Ale" was designed for fans of this popular British import, but Rockfish is a little bolder, a little stronger.  One of our top 10 best-selling recipes.  It's a very British pale ale, containing 3 British grains, British malt extract, British yeast strain, and 3 different British hops.  The result is a medium-bodied, amber-colored beer with nice aroma and head retention.  Hops for this recipe come in 5 separate additions!  Fortunately, there's plenty of malt flavor and caramel sweetness to balance the hops.  We've heard quite a few reports that Rockfish Ale has been used to change the opinions of people who don't like "homebrew" or "bitter beers" or "dark beers."  That's probably because although Pale Ales are very different than the big commercial beers they're accustomed to, a well-designed Pale Ale should make almost anybody happy.

Porter, Honey Porter

Style: Specialty Honey  Porter
ABV: 5.9%
Color: Dark Brown

Our "Woodbridge Porter" recipe is a modest brown porter which has benefited from the addition of honey.  The color is deep copper brown, the body is moderately full, and there is a wealth of honey-roasted malt aroma.  The malt aroma is reminiscent of roasted coffee thanks to the exclusive use of chocolate roasted malt for color.  The addition of honey yields complexity to an otherwise straightforward recipe, and also increases the alcohol content and mouthfeel of the beer. Hop flavor and aroma are moderate to low.

Porter - Ultimate Series Robust Porter

Style: Robust  Porter
ABV: 6.1%
Color: Black

Do you like Theakston's Old Peculier™?
Ultimate Porter is our most popular porter recipe kit, based on a hard-to-find but fantastically good British porter with a funny name.  Ultimate Porter is one of out top 10 best-selling recipe kits.  The color is almost opaque black, like a stout, but Ultimate Porter doesn't have the full thick body of a stout.  The body is medium, and holding the glass up to light reveals beautiful red highlights in the deep black color. Compared to the ordinary porter, Ultimate Porter has more caramel, chocolate, and coffee-like roasted malt flavors. To make it Ultimate, we've added imported Demerara sugar and a highly-refined version of molasses called Black Treacle. This is a truly dark beer that has changed the minds of people who previously though that they didn't like dark beers, because it's strong and full of flavor but not heavy.

Raspberry Wheat

Style: Fruit-Style Wheat Beer
ABV: 6.2%
Color: Raspberry Tinted Gold

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 raspberry flavoring into a plain wheat beer. Our raspberry 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 raspberry 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 raspberry has the bonus side effect of boosting the alcohol content! To round out the fruit profile, the recipe also includes 4 ounces of natural raspberry flavoring. At bottling time, add the raspberry 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.

Color: Copper Brown

Scotch Ale is a strong beer with the predominant flavor of malt.  Our "Angus' Kilt" recipe is a rich brown color and is dominated by sweet malty character, including caramel malt, chocolate malt, and a hint of smoked malt.  Hop bitterness is low; there is little hop flavor and nearly no hop aroma.  The beer is quite full bodies and forms a tight, lacy head when poured.

Do you like Wild Goose Snow Goose™?

This is our version of the critically acclaimed 1997 vintage of a fine Maryland seasonal microbrew.  Our "Cambridge Winter Ale" recipe is a big, hoppy, deep copper colored and full-bodied ale.  The recipe uses almost 9 pounds of malt extract, 4 different grains, and 6 different kinds of hops.  This beer is quite robust but not too heavy for microbrew drinkers.

Winter Warmer

Style: Special Seasonal Ale
ABV: 7.75%
Color: Deep Brown

Our "Ice Melter" recipe makes a strong dark ale which is quite full-bodied and rich in flavor.  Alcohol content is high enough to achieve that "warming" feeling!  The recipe includes a special blend of 11 pounds of malt extracts, combined with three generous additions of American hops.  Noble-type hops are used for flavor and aroma. You'll taste a bold flavor combination of caramel malt, brown malt, and roasted malt.  Put a few bottles aside for next winter, because this beer ages nicely for a year.
