Project Brew all-grain beer kits – brew craft beer at home
Project Brew beer kits are all-grain kits with pre-weighed malt, hops, yeast and a brewing guide for 23–26 litres. The series ranges from light styles such as kölsch, pilsner and Mexican lager to IPA, porter, oatmeal stout and barley wine, and several recipes are clones of well-known commercial beers. The kits suit both beginners and experienced brewers.
Summer Kölsch is one of the best-selling kits in the series. Kölsch ferments at normal ale temperature, 18–20 °C, and is a good choice if you like pilsner. You will also find kits with Norwegian malt from Bonsak Gårdsmalteri here, such as Fairytale Pils and the Christmas ale Julesnadder.
How to choose the right Project Brew kit
Ale or lager: Most ale kits ferment for 14 days at 18–20 °C. Bohemian Pilsner ferments for three weeks at 12 °C and needs temperature control, while LITE Lager uses NovaLager at normal ale temperature.
Strength: From around 4.4% in Surfer Golden Ale to 10.2% in Oaked Barley Wine.
What is included: Malt, hops, yeast and a brewing guide. Some kits also include ingredients such as apricot purée, dextrose or oak chips. Priming sugar, fining agent and yeast nutrient are not included.
Fresh malt
The malt for the kits is stored whole, as whole malt stays fresher. If you do not have your own grain mill, you can choose to have the malt crushed when you order.
