The ATF South Pacific IPA’s aroma is bright and lifted, offering distinct notes of tangelo, fresh lime zest, ripe apricot and peach, underscored by a subtle hint of pine and a gentle resinous depth. A clean malt character provides a light foundation, carrying just a whisper of golden sweetness that supports the hops without competing for attention.

On the palate, the beer is smooth and medium-bodied, leading into a wave of stone fruit and citrus. A firm, assertive bitterness (58 IBU) arrives on the finish, drying the palate and leaving a crisp, refreshing impression of grapefruit pith and resinous pine.

Yeast is not included in the kit. We recommend using Lallemand Nottingham High Performance Ale Yeast, or Froth Buddy (Assumed Origin: Sierra Nevada), or Lallemand's BRY-97 West Coast Ale Yeast. You could also try Safale US-05,  or Mangrove Jack's West Coast Yeast.

Pine, citrus, and floral undertones on top of a light malt base with layers of light crystal sweetness, beautifully balanced by a resinous bitterness. The ATF Odyssey Pale Ale is an epic journey of taste and aroma.

The ATF Tangy Fruit is a great refreshing beer bursting with tangy citrus and tropical fruit aromas.

Like wine, this beer uses acidity to balance the malt sweetness instead of bitterness. The acidity has a pleasant citrus quality very similar to fresh lemons/lemonade, which provides the beer with a light body making it refreshing and very drinkable.

The ATF Tangy Fruit'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. 

The ATF Belgian Blonde is easy drinking with a low, but pleasing hop bitterness. It has a target ABV of 7.3%, with subtle restrained spicy, fruity, and alcohol flavours supported by a grainy, slightly sweet Pilsner malt character and pleasant noble hop flavour and aroma. High carbonation and a medium body can contribute to a slightly creamy overall mouthfeel.

This beer will benefit from a two week (or more) period of cold conditioning.

Yeast is not included in the kit. We recommend using Mangrove Jack's Belgian Ale yeast, or you could also try Fermentis SafAle BE-256 or Lallemand Abbaye.

The ATF Sunshine Kolsch is a clean, crisp, delicately-balanced beer with a subtle fruit and hop character. Subdued maltiness throughout leads into a pleasantly well-attenuated and refreshing finish. Freshness makes a huge difference with this beer as the delicate character can fade quickly with age.

Yeast is not included in the kit. We recommend using either Fermentis Safale K-97 yeast or Lallemand Köln yeast.

To achieve the subtle fruit character it is important to use the recommended yeast or another German/Kolsch Ale yeast.

Oat Hulls are the outer shell layer of the oat, inedible and normally removed from the oat.

When used for brewing the hulls improve the filter bed of the mash to decrease the likelihood of a stuck mash. Oat hulls are non-fermentable, and provide bulk helping prevent the mash from settling and becoming stuck during the sparge. Hulls are generally used when making wheat or rye beers.
