American Amber Ales are an amber, hoppy, moderate-strength craft beer with a caramel malty flavour. The balance can vary quite a bit, with some versions being fairly malty and others being aggressively hoppy.

ATF Hop Head Red is a malty hoppy beer with a beautiful red hue. It has a wonderful mix of citrus flavours and aromas (grapefruit, orange, lime) on top of a luscious malty caramel base with hints of dark fruits. With a full mouthfeel and sufficient bitterness to balance the caramel sweetness it is the perfect marriage of malt and hops.

Yeast is not included in the kit. We recommend using Mangrove Jack's Liberty Bell Yeast.

Whilst the light blonde hue may hint at a lightly flavoured beer, ATF Riwaka Blonde is anything but lacking in flavour. Bursting with passionfruit and citrus on top of a sweet malt base with a hint of toasty biscuit and a slightly creamy texture that finishes dry, the ATF Riwaka Blonde is a distinctive beer that will soon become a favourite.

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

The ATF Baltic Porter is a rich malt oriented beer with distinctive aromas of dark toffee underneath roasted coffee and chocolate.

Smooth and malty rich with some complex alcohol flavours, layers of sweet warm soothing toasty maltiness, caramel, dark toffee, notes of caramelised dark fruits, and smooth roasted coffee and chocolate.

Being a lager it has a smooth clean crispness unlike its English cousin and will benefit from a period of lagering.

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.

Panhead Supercharger is an award winning beer that is extremely popular. Panhead describes the beer as follows:

Hops are where it starts for the born-again craft head and Supercharger APA is where Panhead delivers. This is an all-American show with Centennial, Citra and Simcoe overwhelming your nose, kicking you in the taste buds and departing with more bitterness than a Palm Springs divorce. It's a seriously addictive combination.

The ATF Supercharger Clone is our recipe to replicate this much loved beer.

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

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

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.

Alternatively you could use Froth Wilding to create a unique New Zealand Saison.

A deep reddish-copper brown colour, the ATF Belgian Dubbel is a moderately strong, malty, complex ale with rich malty flavours with hints of caramel, and dried fruits.
Underpinning the rich malt is a complex range of fruity esters (plum, raisin, cherry, pear, apple, and banana), which blend beautifully with light spicy phenols (such as clove and pepper) and higher alcohols.

The rich malt and alcohol give the beer a medium - full mouthfeel, although it still finishes fairly dry.

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

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.
