ATF Sabrodaze will leave you in a tropical hoppy daze. Loaded with Sabro (12.5g/L in the boil & approx. 13.6g/L in the dry hop) it has a wonderful tropical fruit aroma with pineapple to the fore and hints coconut in the background with a soft, almost creamy mouthfeel.

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.

Maibock, also known as Helles Bock, is a traditional strong, malty Bavarian lager.
The ATF Maibock delivers a clean crisp beer with a rich toasty sweetness and malty backbone that defines a Maibock. Balanced with aromatic hops delivering floral and spicy notes, providing a balanced bitterness and a subtle hint of hop aroma.

Yeast is not included in the kit. If fermenting cold we recommend using Fermentis SafLager W-34/70 or Lallemand Diamond Lager Yeast.

If fermenting warm we recommend using Fermentis SafLager W-34/70 or Mangrove Jack's Californian Lager Yeast.

Mangrove Jack's Californian Lager Yeast

Mangrove Jack's Californian Lager yeast is a unique lager strain that has the ability to ferment at ale temperatures and still provide a typical lager flavour profile. 

Fermentis SafLager W-34/70

Sensory testing performed by Fermentis on W-34/70 shows that it is a very robust yeast capable of providing a clean neutral flavour profile across a wide range of fermentation temperatures (12℃ - 20℃). Click here to download the Fermentis iPhone app for more information. 

The ATF Tangyshake NEIPA is the best grown-up milkshake you’ve ever had. A pleasant tangy sourness balanced by a creamy milkshake like sweetness and texture and bursting with citrus and tropical fruits (think tangerine, pink grapefruit, melon, papaya) with hints of creamy coconut. The addition of vanilla rounds out the milkshake experience.

In addition to what is included in the kit you will need one vanilla pod and sufficient vodka in which to soak the vanilla pod. You could use 60ml of pure vanilla extract instead, although the flavour may not be as fresh and bright as the vanilla pod soaked in vodka.

The ATF Tangyshake NEIPA's acidity is provided by WildBrew Philly Sour yeast, a unique yeast that primarily produces lactic acid during the initial phase of fermentation before switching over to ethanol production.

Philly Sour takes longer than most yeasts to begin and complete fermentation so it is important to pitch the right amount of yeast.

Yeast is not included in the kit. We recommend using Lallemand Wildbrew™ Philly Sour Yeast.

Please Note: Kettle finings are not provided with this kit as beer clarity is not required for this style of beer.

Cryo Hops® pellets are the concentrated lupulin of whole-leaf hops containing resins and aromatic oils. It is designed to provide intense hop flavour and aroma, enabling brewers to efficiently dose large quantities of alpha acids and oils without introducing astringent flavours or vegetative material. Cryo Hops® pellets can be utilised anywhere whole-leaf hops and hop pellets are traditionally applied. 

Dosage rate: We recommend a dosage rate of Cryo Hops pellets of 40-50% of T-90 hop pellets by weight.

CHIEF ADVANTAGES

• Nearly twice the resin content of traditional T-90 hop pellets
• Intense contribution of hop flavour and aroma
• Reduced grassy and vegetal characteristics
• Increased yield through reduced brewhouse trub

Roggenbier translates to “Rye Beer”. It is typically 50% Rye malt giving it a characteristic grainy spicy character, which is completed by the classic weizen yeast tartness, spicy clove phenolics and fruity banana esters. With hints of dark stone fruit and caramel flavours it is great Autumn and Winter wheat beer, but due to its medium dry to dry finish it is drinkable all year round.

Yeast is not included in the kit. We recommend using Lalbrew Munich Classic or Mangrove Jack's Bavarian Wheat yeast.

Note on Rye Malt

Rye malt contains a high amount of beta glucan, which increases wort viscosity and may slow runoff during lautering and sparging, and potentially cause a stuck sparge.

A mash rest at 40℃, sometimes called a Beta Glucanase rest, can help to break down the beta glucan in the wort and reduce the risk of a stuck sparge.

As added insurance this recipe includes oat hulls in the mash. The oat hulls do not add any fermentables, but improve the filter bed of the mash to reduce the risk of a stuck sparge.

Developed by the USDA breeding program in Washington State and released in 1985 as a high alpha bittering variety, Chinook is a cross between Petham Golding and a USDA male. In recent years, it has found favour as a dual purpose hop in the craft brewing community as a result of its spice and pine aroma characteristics.

It works well at any stage of the boil and in the dry hop and works particularly well in American Pale Ales (APA) and IPA's, but can be used in many styles. 

Chinook feature in Stone’s Arrogant Bastard and in addition to Cascade and Centennial in Sierra Nevada’s Celebration Ale – a beer famous for its piney, citrusy character.

Pacifica 2025 

Batch: 25-006

Alpha: 5.80%

Beta: 6.10%

A dual purpose / bittering hop with a spicy “dried fruit” character and solid finish. 

Breeding:

A triploid aroma type developed through by New Zealand’s Plant & Food Research. Pacifica™ Brand 77-01 was bred through the open pollination of the highly regarded Hallertauer Mittlefru¨h variety. Pacifica™ was released on completion of successful brewing trials in 1994.

Selection:

Pacifica™ displays classic Hallertau citrus and floral aroma character which selectors mark as a real standout. The aroma is supported by a generous oils profile making selection possible for several beer styles from this stylish hop.

Brewing:

Pacifica™ brings something of a blend of new and old-world taste descriptors to the brewers' forum. Orange marmalade aptly describes the citrus aroma notes achieved through late addition. Bittering quality is such that early kettle additions net a soft yet solid finish even in highly bittered beers.

Applications:

Finds application where a higher oil concentration and proportion of Linalool are required to impact on how the hop character integrates into the final product. Ideally suited to traditional German lager styles and finding wider application to a new generation through the international craft market’s insatiable thirst for Pale Ale.

Pacific Jade™ 2025 Harvest

Batch: 25-233

Alpha: 14.20%

Beta: 7.90%

A soft bittering / dual purpose hop with fresh citrus and complex spice characters

Breeding:

NZ Pacific Jade Brand HORT1524 is a triploid alpha type developed by the cross of the NZ variety "First Choice" (a relative of the Late Cluster) and an Old Line Saazer Male. Released from the New Zealand Hop Research Programme by HortReasearch Centre Riwaka in 2004.

Selection:

Selected on its average alpha of 12-14% with Cohumulone in the region of 24% and an excellent oils profile. The aroma of this hop is described as bold as it delivers a herbal infusion of fresh citrus and crushed black pepper.

Brewing:

Suited for use as a bittering hop with some excellent results also being seen in dual purpose applications, with a soft bitterness attributable to the low cohumulone. The citrus aroma and flavour notes work well to temper malt sweetness in fullish Ales especially as a finishing hop.

'Great versatility in the Brewhouse'

Applications:

Typically to replace less interesting Alpha varieties where a softer bitterness and higher oil profile is desired. NZ Pacific Jade exemplifies current market direction and what is being achieved in the New Zealand Hops breeding programme.
