Which yeast is included?

What is the apricot purée for?
The apricot purée is part of the recipe and adds fruitiness. When and how to add it is described in the brewing instructions included with the kit.
Why is the malt unmilled?
Once malt is milled, it starts to oxidise and lose flavour and aroma. Brewshop therefore stores the malt unmilled and only mills it when you choose milled malt at checkout. With your own grain mill, you can mill the malt just before brewing.
