Note on Water Profile
The recommended water profile for this beer is very soft with no more than 7ppm of any mineral.
The beer may be brewed using other water sources, but may not have the same soft delicate mouthfeel and bitterness. Rainwater, reverse osmosis water, or bottled spring water is ideal.
English Strong Bitter is often referred to as English Pale Ale or Extra Special Bitters. It is characterised by a firm bitterness (often falling in the range of 30 to 50 IBUs), however it should not overpower the malt. Balance is important and most examples range from balanced to moderately bitter.
It should have a moderate hoppy flavour and aroma, with a complex malt and yeast character. It is common for caramel/crystal malts to be used.
The ATF ESB has a complex malt flavour and aroma consisting of a malty biscuity base with layers of light to dark caramel flavours. In the background are delicate fruity esters provided by the yeast.
The hopping provides a firm bitterness that nicely balances the malt character along with a pleasant resinous, citrusy, herbal flavour and aroma with a spicy undertone. Whilst the hop flavours and aromas are apparent, they do not dominate.
The beer has a full, almost silky mouthfeel, that finishes moderately dry.
Yeast is not included in the kit. We recommend using Mangrove Jack's Liberty Bell Yeast, or you could also try Lallemand Verdant IPA.
Rich and complex with aromas of deep, inviting roasted dark espresso and rich cocoa, beautifully intertwined with dark caramel sweetness and hints of dried fruit underpinned by a subtle, intriguing earthy spice.
The generous use of rye and oats creates a beautifully velvety smooth and full-bodied mouthfeel with a decadently creamy yet never heavy experience, crowned by a dense, persistent head.
Clean bitterness and the faintest background whispers of soft citrus and floral notes provide just enough structure to frame the immense malt profile without ever stealing the spotlight. An indulgent stout defined by its opulent malt complexity, captivating roast character, and luxurious velvety texture.
Yeast is not included in the kit. We recommend using Froth Rudeboy (Assumed Origin: Youngs Brewery) or Mangrove Jack's Empire Ale yeast. You could also try Mangrove Jack's Liberty Bell yeast.

Introducing the ATF Nectabomb a Hazy IPA that is a Tropical Explosion of Flavour!
Bursting with an impressive double dry hop of 14.5 grams per liter of Nectron hops, this beer is a tantalising explosion of tropical flavours and hazy goodness that will transport you to a paradise of hoppy delight.
With each sip, Nectabomb reveals an abundant array of fruity and citrusy flavours with undertones of stone fruit that dance upon your palate.
Despite the explosion of hop flavour, Nectabomb maintains a balanced and smooth profile. A carefully selected blend of malts provides a sturdy foundation, offering a subtle sweetness that complements the hop-forward nature of the beer. The result is a well-rounded experience where the hops take centre stage, while the malt backbone provides a gentle supporting role.
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.

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.
The ATF IPL (India Pale Lager) brings together the clean crispness of a lager with all the hoppy goodness of an IPA.
