Description
Traditional Series Abbey extract kit 1.7 kg – Belgian abbey ale from Mangrove Jack's
With the Abbey extract kit from Mangrove Jack's Traditional Series you brew about 10 litres of Belgian abbey ale at 8.0 %. The beer has light to moderate malt sweetness, notes of Belgian yeast, lightly caramelised sugar and honey-like sweetness, and finishes medium dry with some alcohol in the aftertaste.
The Traditional Series extract kits contain liquid malt extract, dry yeast and, in some kits, dry hops. Priming sugar is not included.
To reach the intended alcohol level you also need 600 g of liquid malt extract. Malt extract gives the beer better flavour, body and mouthfeel than sugar or dextrose.

Frequently asked questions about the Abbey extract kit
What do I need in addition to the kit?
You need 600 g of liquid malt extract, water, sugar or carbonation drops for the bottles, and standard brewing equipment: a fermenter with airlock, sanitizer and bottles. Yeast is included.
How do I brew 20 litres?
Use two kits and 1.2 kg of liquid malt extract. Mangrove Jack's light liquid malt extract comes in a 1.2 kg pack, which is exactly enough for two kits.
How long does it take?
The beer should ferment for at least two weeks. Check with a hydrometer until the reading is stable before bottling. Carbonation in the bottle takes at least another two weeks.
Is there an easier option with better results?
Yes. If you are considering extract kits, you should also try a Fresh Wort Kit. It is ready-brewed, professional-quality wort that you simply pour into the fermenter and add the included yeast. No water is added, and the beer turns out much better.
