Simply Brew starter kit with Summer Kölsch – fermenting and kegging
Simply Brew – Complete starter kit with Summer Kölsch 20L Fresh Wort Kit is for anyone who wants to brew beer at home the easy way, without compromising on quality. You get 20 litres of fully brewed, water-adjusted wort, plus all the equipment you need to ferment the beer and serve it carbonated from a keg.
Summer Kölsch is a crisp, easy-drinking and refreshing kölsch with a clean character, pleasant bitterness and a crisp finish. If you like pilsner, you will like this one. It is also easier to brew, because kölsch is fermented at normal ale temperature of approx. 18–20 °C. The wort is hopped with Saaz and Tettnanger.
The kit includes components from the Italian brands AEB and Oxyturbo, including a 20L Cornelius keg and CO2 regulator, plus everything you need for cleaning, fermenting, transferring and serving.
