Brick Road Classic Lager: A Crisp & Refreshing All-Round Lager

Experience the taste of a perfectly balanced lager with our Classic Lager brewing kit. This refreshing, light-coloured beer is the perfect introduction to homebrewing, yielding a smooth, easy-drinking lager with a balanced hop finish.

What You'll Brew:

• Aroma & Flavour: Clean and crisp with a subtle malt sweetness, leading to a balanced, low-medium hop bitterness that finishes smooth and satisfying.

• Appearance: A beautiful pale straw colour, clear and bright.

• Character: Incredibly sessionable, refreshing, and light. It’s the perfect, easy-drinking beer for any occasion.

Your Brewing Journey, Made Simple:

This all-in-one can contains our exceptional hopped wort—the foundation of your great beer. Just follow these steps for a crisp, refreshing lager:

1. Mix & Make it Your Own: Empty the contents of the can into your fermenter. Add about 3 litres of hot water and stir thoroughly to dissolve the concentrated wort. Then, add your 1kg of brewing sugar (dextrose) and stir again until fully dissolved. Finally, top up the fermenter with cold water to reach the 23-litre mark.

   • Pro Brewer Tip: For a drier, crisper beer, add a sachet of glucoamylase enzyme with the yeast. It breaks down unfermentable sugars, allowing the yeast to produce more alcohol, resulting in a lower final gravity and a higher ABV.

2. Pitch & Ferment: Sprinkle in the included New World Lager Yeast. This hybrid yeast is versatile and can be fermented at room temperature. Seal your fermenter and place it in a stable environment (ideally 18-22°C). The active fermentation will typically be complete within 5 to 10 days.

3. Dry Hop (Optional) & Condition: This is your chance to customise! As the active fermentation is finishing (e.g., around days 5-7), add up to 30g of your favourite hops for an extra layer of flavour. Adding them at this stage means the remaining active yeast will consume any oxygen introduced, protecting your beer from oxidation. After any dry hop addition, allow the beer to condition for another 3 to 7 days. This gives the yeast time to "clean up" and allows the hop particles to settle.

4. Carbonate & Enjoy: Once conditioning is complete, bottle your beer with carbonation drops. Store the bottles at room temperature for 1-2 weeks to allow for natural carbonation before chilling and enjoying your fresh, homebrewed lager.

Approximate Specifications (for 23L batch with 1kg dextrose):

• ABV Range: Brew it as a sessionable Low (2.6%) or a classic Mid (4.8%) strength. Using glucoamylase will result in a higher ABV.

• Colour: Pale Straw (5 EBC)

• Bitterness: Low-Medium (17 IBU)

• Original Gravity (OG): 1.038

• Final Gravity (FG): 1.008 (approx.)

Brick Road Mexican Cerveza: A Crisp & Refreshing Corona Style Lager

Experience the taste of pure refreshment with our Mexican Cerveza kit. This classic lager is brilliantly light and clean, making it the ultimate thirst-quencher for a warm afternoon or social gathering. Enjoy with a fresh slice of lime for an authentic, crisp finish.

What You'll Brew:

• Aroma & Flavour: A clean, crisp profile with a subtle malt sweetness and a smooth, low-medium hop bitterness. The perfect canvas for a squeeze of lime.

• Appearance: A beautiful, pale straw colour, clear and bright.

• Character: Incredibly light-bodied, refreshing, and easy-drinking. Brew your own perfect session beer for any fiesta.

Your Brewing Journey, Made Simple:

This all-in-one can contains our exceptional hopped wort—the foundation of your great beer. Just follow these steps for an authentic, refreshing Cerveza:

1. Mix & Make it Your Own: Empty the contents of the can into your fermenter. Add about 3 litres of hot water and stir thoroughly to dissolve the concentrated wort. Then, add your 1kg of brewing sugar (dextrose) and stir again until fully dissolved. Finally, top up the fermenter with cold water to reach the 23-litre mark.

2. Pitch & Ferment: Sprinkle in the included New World Lager Yeast. Seal your fermenter and place it in a stable, room-temperature environment (this versatile hybrid yeast can be fermented at up to 22°C). The active fermentation will typically be complete within 3 to 7 days. You'll know it's slowing down when the vigorous bubbling in the airlock subsides.

3. Dry Hop (Optional) & Condition:
   If you are dry-hopping, this is the time to do it. Just as the active fermentation is finishing (e.g., around days 3-5), add your hops. For an authentic touch, use 10-30g of noble hops like Tettnanger, Hallertau, or Saaz, or try local versions like Motueka or Wakatu. Adding them at this stage means the remaining active yeast will consume any oxygen introduced when you open the fermenter, protecting your beer from oxidation. After any dry hop addition, allow the beer to condition for another 3 to 7 days. This gives the yeast time to "clean up" any off-flavours and allows the hop particles to settle.

4. Carbonate, Lime & Enjoy: Once conditioning is complete, bottle your beer with carbonation drops. Store the bottles at room temperature for 1-2 weeks to allow for natural carbonation before chilling, adding a slice of lime, and enjoying your fresh, home brewed Cerveza.

Brick Road Down-Under Pale Ale: A Vibrant & Hoppy Classic

Craft your own signature Antipodean ale with our Down-Under Pale Ale brewing kit. This versatile foundation is your canvas to create a beer that matches your taste, from a sessionable light ale to a boldly hopped classic. Simply brew with sugar, or explore different fermentables and dry hops to make it uniquely yours.

What You'll Brew:

• Aroma & Flavour: A bright and hoppy character, driven by your choice of dry hops. Expect vibrant notes of tropical fruit, citrus, and pine from classic New World varieties.

• Appearance: A beautiful, pale straw colour.

• Character: Crisp, refreshing, and perfectly balanced with a clean malt backbone that supports a bold hop presence.

Your Brewing Journey, Made Simple:

This all-in-one can contains our exceptional hopped wort—the foundation of your great beer. Just follow these steps to create your perfect Pale Ale:

1. Mix & Make it Your Own: Empty the contents of the can into your fermenter. Add about 3 litres of hot water and stir thoroughly to dissolve the concentrated wort. Then, add your 1kg of brewing sugar (dextrose) and stir again until fully dissolved. Finally, top up the fermenter with cold water to reach the 23-litre mark.

   • Pro Brewer Tip: Adjust the body and ABV by using different fermentables like Dry Malt Extract (DME). See the can for recipe options.

2. Pitch & Ferment: Sprinkle in the included Pale Ale Yeast. Seal your fermenter and place it in a stable, room-temperature environment (around 18-22°C). The active fermentation will typically be complete within 3 to 7 days. You'll know it's slowing down when the vigorous bubbling in the airlock subsides.

3. Dry Hop (Highly Recommended) & Condition:
   For that classic flavour, dry-hopping is essential. Just as the active fermentation is finishing (e.g., around days 3-5), add your hops. We recommend 30g to 100g of New World hops like Galaxy, Pride of Ringwood, Nectaron, Nelson Sauvin, or Motueka. Adding them at this stage means the remaining active yeast will consume any oxygen introduced, protecting your beer's vibrant hop aroma.
   After dry hopping, allow the beer to condition for another 3 to 7 days. This gives the yeast time to "clean up" and allows the hop particles to settle.

4. Carbonate & Enjoy: Once conditioning is complete, bottle your beer with carbonation drops. Store the bottles at room temperature for 1-2 weeks to allow for natural carbonation before chilling and enjoying your fresh, homebrewed Pale Ale.

Approximate Specifications (for 23L batch with 1kg dextrose):

• ABV Range: Brew it as a sessionable Low (2.6%) or a classic Mid (4.8%) strength.

• Colour: Pale Straw (5 EBC)

• Bitterness: Low-Medium (17 IBU)

• Original Gravity (OG): 1.038

• Final Gravity (FG): 1.008 (approx.)

2. Pitch & Ferment: Sprinkle in the included New World Lager Yeast. Seal your fermenter and place it in a stable, room-temperature environment (this versatile hybrid yeast can be fermented at up to 22°C or 72°F). The active fermentation will typically be complete within 3 to 7 days. You'll know it's slowing down when the vigorous bubbling in the airlock subsides.

3. Dry Hop (Optional) & Condition:
   While this malty beer is delicious as-is, you can add subtle complexity with dry hopping.
