Brewing Process

This all-inclusive kit is simple and convenient for both novice and experienced brewers. In just 21–28 days (depending on fermenting and conditioning temperatures), you can enjoy your own hand-crafted amber ale.

As fermentation nears completion, ensure your beer reaches a Final Gravity (FG) of 1.012 or below (refer to Step 10 in the instructions) — this is key to achieving the smooth, balanced finish characteristic of a great amber ale.

Pro Tip

For a professional, commercial-quality finish, consider adding Pure Brew — a yeast nutrient and water treatment used by the pros. It enhances the overall flavour profile and stability of your beer.
