Fresh, professionally brewed wort makes the best beer!
Our Fresh Wort Kits contain 20 liters of water-adjusted wort, professionally brewed by Austmann Bryggeri, one of Norway's leading microbreweries. With the goal of providing our customers with the absolute highest quality to produce a perfect craft beer at home, the wort is filled into Bag In Box using a high-tech filling machine. The bag is then flushed with nitrogen to ensure minimal oxygen in the wort. The wort is 100% ready for use, and clarifying agent and yeast nutrient are added during boiling. You do not need to top up with water, so simply pitch the yeast and follow the instructions.
