Brought back from obscurity by Pierre Celis at the Hoegaarden brewery, Witbier is a great refreshing beer. With plenty of un-malted wheat along with a portion of oats, Witbier is typically cloudy with a soft grainy sweetness. Belgian Wit Yeast adds subtle banana fruitiness and clove notes, which are enhanced through the addition of coriander seeds and fresh orange yeast.

In addition to what is included in the kit you will need 12g of coriander seed and 45g of orange zest (or the zest of your favourite citrus fruit).

Yeast is not included in the kit. We recommend using Froth Unicorn (Assumed Origin: Hoegaarden), or you could use Lallemand Lalbrew Wit or Mangrove Jack's Belgian Wit Yeast.

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.

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.

White IPA—a brilliant fusion where the spicy, fruity soul of a Belgian Witbier meets the bold, citrusy heart of an IPA.

The aroma is an enticing bouquet with classic notes of citrus and spice from the Witbier tradition, lifted by vibrant hops lifting the fruity citrus and spice to another level. The flavour follows through with a refreshing, medium-bodied experience—where subtle spice and a soft wheat malt backbone gracefully balance a light, clean hop bitterness.

This kit includes hops that require steeping.

In addition to what is included in the kit you will require 10g of coriander seed and the zest of the zest of two oranges.
