Note on Water Profile

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.
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.

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.

Introducing the NZ Pale Ale: A Sensory Journey of Hop Excellence!
With a harmonious blend of Taiheke hops on the hot side and dry-hopped with the dynamic trio of Riwaka, Nectaron, and Nelson Sauvin hops, this beer delivers an extraordinary hop-forward experience that will captivate your senses.
The combination of Gladfield Light Crystal and Toffee malt, beautifully layered upon a base of American Ale malt, creates a sturdy foundation for the hops to shine. This grain bill contributes a subtle sweetness and a touch of caramel complexity, complementing the hop profile without overpowering it.
With each sip, you'll discover the remarkable flavours that these hops bring to the forefront. The Taiheke hops, added during the whirlpool, mimicking hop dipping, infuses the beer with a vibrant burst of citrus zest, lime and grapefruit, tantalising your taste buds from the first sip.
The dry hopping takes the flavour experience to new heights as the Riwaka hops provide distinctive grapefruit and resinous notes, the Nectaron hops contribute juicy tropical and stone fruit flavours, and the Nelson Sauvin hops add a distinctively vinous and white wine-like character, with hints of gooseberry and passion fruit.
Balancing the hop intensity is a moderate bitterness that showcases the hops' full potential without overwhelming the palate. The result is a beer that offers a harmonious interplay between the vibrant hop flavours and the smooth, malt-driven body, ensuring a balanced and enjoyable drinking experience.
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 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.
Munich Dunkel is a malt oriented German dark lager. It is a rich complex beer with flavours of warm toasty bread crust and rich caramel and toffee. Despite the malt forward flavour, Munich Dunkel has a dry finish and does not come across as overly sweet making it a very sessionable beer.
Traditionally Munich Dunkel would have been made using a decoction mash to encourage the Maillard reactions that help give the beer its rich malty flavours. The ATF Munich Dunkel uses a small amount of Aurora Malt to help provide the maltiness typical of the style.
If fermenting warm we recommend using Fermentis SafLager W-34/70 or Mangrove Jack's Californian Lager Yeast.
