Brick Road Red Ale: A Rich & Malty Amber Ale

Discover the satisfying depth of an amber ale with our Red Ale brewing kit. This beautifully balanced beer features inviting caramel and toffee malt flavours that lead to a slightly dry, clean finish. Perfect for those who appreciate a malt-forward character with just enough hop balance.

What You'll Brew:

• Aroma & Flavour: A rich malt profile with notes of caramel and toffee, balanced by a medium hop bitterness that leads to a slightly dry finish.

• Appearance: A beautiful amber-red colour, clear and brilliant.

• Character: Smooth, malt-forward, and exceptionally drinkable. A perfectly balanced ale that satisfies without being heavy.

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 rich, flavourful Red 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.

2. Pitch & Ferment: Sprinkle in the included 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 (Optional) & Condition:
   While this malty beer is delicious as-is, you can add subtle complexity with dry hopping. If choosing to do so, add hops (15g recommended) just as the active fermentation is finishing (e.g., around days 3-5). Traditional varieties like East Kent Goldings or Fuggles will add nice sweet, floral, and spicy notes.
   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 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 Red 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: Amber Red (20 EBC)

• Bitterness: Medium (27 IBU)

• Original Gravity (OG): 1.038

• Final Gravity (FG): 1.008 (approx.)

The Brick Road Promise: Quality in Every Can

We believe great beer starts with the best ingredients. That's why we searched the world to find the best maltster, selecting and blending the finest grains to create this exceptional Red Ale wort. We mash these specialty malts and hop them with precision extracts to create a rich, balanced foundation with delicious caramel and toffee character. To lock in all the fresh flavour, we gently reduce this wort and can it fresh on-site.

Follow the Brick Road to a rewarding new hobby. In just a few weeks, you'll be enjoying fresh, craft beer that tastes better than any commercial ale—because you brewed it yourself. You can also build your own unique recipes brick-by-brick.
