Ringnes Julebokk – all-grain beer kit
In partnership with Ringnes, we are pleased to offer their Julebokk as an all-grain beer kit for homebrewers. Ringnes Julebokk is a doppelbock with a deep red-black colour and a complex, vinous aroma with notes of roasted malt, coffee, spice and dried fruit. The beer is powerful, with plenty of malt sweetness balanced by a noticeable bitterness. The kit is for brewers who brew all-grain with a brewing system or their own setup.
Ringnes Julebokk was launched in 1999, after a change in Norwegian law that year allowed beer stronger than 7 %, and has been brewed every Christmas since. The beer pairs well with rich Christmas desserts, chocolate, cigars and as an after-dinner drink with coffee.

Brew well before Christmas
We recommend brewing this beer well ahead of Christmas, so it gets a few months to mature, just like a good wine.
For quality and freshness, the malt is supplied uncrushed. If you do not already have one, we recommend investing in a grain mill so you have completely fresh ingredients on brew day.
Frequently asked questions about the Ringnes Julebokk all-grain kit
How should Ringnes Julebokk be fermented?
Ferment for 12 days. Start at 8 °C and raise slowly to 12 °C, followed by a diacetyl rest at 16 °C. The kit comes with 100 g of SafLager S-189.
Why is so much yeast included?
Lager yeast needs almost twice as many cells as ale yeast, and stronger beers need more yeast. At OG 1.088 this is a big beer, which is why a full 100 g pack is included.
How long should the beer mature?
Give it a few months before drinking. That is why you should brew well before Christmas.
Do I need a grain mill?
The malt is supplied uncrushed so it stays fresh until brew day. Crushed malt starts to oxidise and lose flavour and aroma, so malt crushed just before brewing gives the best result.
