The ATF Fullers 1845 Clone aims to replicate the strong, rich and fruity ale, that was specially commissioned to celebrate 150 years of the Fuller, Smith and Turner partnership. For best results this beer should be bottle conditioned for 100 days. Bottle conditioning should take place in a cool dark environment.

Fullers Brewers Notes

Best poured slowly, 1845 delivers a sweet, fruit cake aroma, a dark tawny colour and a dry finish that sings of spices and raisin. Those fruity characteristics harmonise perfectly with the biscuity malts amid a clever and complex range of subtle flavours, the depth of which you could only find in a live beer fermented in the bottle.

Yeast is not included in the kit. We recommend using Mangrove Jack's Liberty Bell or you could also try Fermentis SafAle S-04.

If crash cooling it is possible to cause the yeast thermal shock, which may be an issue when bottle conditioning, particularly a higher alcohol beer.

Yeast is not included in the kit. We recommend using  Fermentis Saflager S-189 if fermenting cold.

If you are unable to perform a cold fermentation you can ferment warm (20℃) using Mangrove Jack's Californian Lager yeast, Fermentis SafLager W-34/70, or Lallemand NovaLager 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.
