Brick Road Kölsch: A Crisp & Refining German-Style Ale
Experience the taste of a German summer with our Kölsch brewing kit. This classic ale is the perfect introduction to homebrewing, yielding a brilliantly pale, light-bodied beer with a delicate fruitiness and a clean, satisfying finish.
What You'll Brew:
-
Aroma & Flavour: A subtle, graceful fruitiness from our European ale yeast, complemented by an optional noble hop aroma that is floral, spicy, and utterly refreshing.
-
Appearance: A beautiful pale straw colour, clear and bright.
-
Character: Crisp, smooth, and incredibly drinkable. It’s the perfect session 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 Kölsch:
-
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.
-
Pitch & Ferment: Sprinkle in the included European Ale Yeast. Seal your fermenter and place it in a stable, room-temperature environment (around 18-20°C is ideal). 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.
-
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. Adding them at this stage means the remaining active yeast will consume any oxygen introduced when you open the fermenter, and the naturally produced CO2 will help protect 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.
-
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 Kölsch .
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.)
The Brick Road Promise: Quality in Every Can
We believe great beer starts with the best ingredients. That’s why we’ve sourced the world’s finest malted grains, blending pale and wheat malts to perfectly suit the Kölsch style. We then mash these grains and hop them with precision extracts to create a rich, balanced wort. To lock in all the fresh, delicious flavour, we gently reduce this wort and can it fresh on-site.

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

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:
-
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.
-
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.

-
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. -

-
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.
-
-
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.
-
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. -
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.

-
-
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).

-
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.

ATF Luminant IPA is a bright and fruit-forward hazy IPA, exclusively hopped with Luminosa for a vibrant tropical character. It presents a light, glowing appearance and a soft, pillowy texture. The aroma and flavour are filled with notes of peach, mandarin, and passionfruit, leading to a smooth and refreshing finish.
Yeast is not included in the kit. We recommend using Froth Vape (Assumed Origin: Boddington’s) to produce a juicy hazy with a silky mouthfeel and great hop aroma and flavour.
Alternatively we recommend using Verdant IPA. Lallemand’s Verdant IPA yeast. LalBrew Verdant IPA yeast will produce fruity esters and is well suited to NEIPA’s. Verdant IPA yeast expresses high amounts of β-lyase enzyme promoting biotransformation accentuating hop flavour and aroma. and also produces high amounts of glycerol producing a beer with a silky mouthfeel.
You could also try Froth Spectra (Assumed Origin: Unknown (London)).Spectra can produce a spectrum of radiant flavour & aroma while exhibiting an elegant ester profile and velvety mouthfeel.
Alternatively you could use Lallemand's New England yeast. Lallemand New England produces beers with a unique fruit forward ester profile, which is sought after in NEIPA's. Through expression of a β-glucosidase enzyme, LalBrew® New England can promote hop biotransformation and accentuate hop flavour and aroma.
Please Note: Kettle finings are not provided with this kit as beer clarity is not required for this style of beer.

Smell the difference. Essencia Single Malt Whisky Barrel Chunks are made from wet, freshly-emptied single malt Pokeno Whisky Origin whisky barrels, enabling you to produce whisky in just 7 days. Chunked down from whisky-soaked oak barrels that have aged whisky for 4-10 years, these chunks offer exceptional quality compared to cheaper dry staves or chips. The careful processing retains the charred interior of the barrels, enhancing the oak’s flavour infusion and providing a substantial surface area for your spirit. This ensures rapid and genuine aging. Unlike dry alternatives, Essencia Barrel Chunks impart a rich, authentic single malt whisky flavour without the need for additional flavouring.
Essencia Barrel Chunks can be used to rapidly barrel-age neutral spirit, vodka, pot-distilled bourbon, whiskey, rum or even beer. We recommend a process of soaking, draining and filtering. You can test along the way, or blend different batches to your own taste.
1. SOAKING
First Soaking:
Add 2.5 litres of alcohol per 500g of Essencia Barrel Chunks.
Cover and soak for up to 7 days. Test daily after 4 days. Drain and Filter as below.
Character: Flavour - High, Colour - Dark, Oak - Low.
Use for: Drinking or blending
Second Soaking:
Add a further 2.3 litres of alcohol per 500g to the used Essencia Barrel Chunks. Cover and soak for up to 19 days. Test daily after 10 days. Drain and Filter as below.
Character: Flavour - Medium, Colour - Medium, Oak - Medium.
Use for: Drinking or blending
Third Soaking:
Add a further 2.3 litres of alcohol per 500g to the used Essencia Bourbon Barrel Chunks. Cover and soak for 5 - 6 weeks.
Character: Flavour - Low, Colour - Light, Oak - Heavy.
Use for: Blending, or add 1 x 28ml Essencia Tennessee or Kentucky Bourbon Spirit Flavour for drinking.
2. DRAINING
Putting the Chunks in a straining bag while soaking them makes the draining process easier. It also reduces the amount of sediment carried over to the filtering phase. A small - fine straining bag is ideal. After draining the Chunks, allow the sediment to settle for a few hours before filtering as this sediment clogs the filter and slows down the process a lot. Ideally the sediment is left until the end of filtering.
3. FILTERING
Use a coffee filter paper in a funnel, or 2 x cotton wool balls pushed down the neck of a large funnel. This process should take time. The product should only drip out of the filter.
TESTING
Because everyone's tastes are different, the soaking times stated above are suggestions only. To obtain the best results for you, it is suggested that you test your product regularly during the first two soakings. Trying not to disturb any sediment, use a syringe to draw off about 15ml (1 nip) each test and try it. You will notice a marked difference in the character of the product with each test.
BLENDING
The Essencia Barrel Chunk process not only produces amazing results, it allows you to be the blender, just as they do at the distillery. Once you have the product from the three soakings, all you need is a syringe, a glass, a notepad and some time, to blend your own personal favourites.
