Lucid Pils extract kit 1.8 kg – Mangrove Jack's Traditional Series

Lucid Pils is a golden, crisp pilsner with a clean, refreshing flavour, a dry mouthfeel and a lingering bitterness. The extract kits in Mangrove Jack's Traditional Series contain liquid malt extract, dry yeast and, where relevant, dry hops. Priming sugar is not included.

To brew Lucid Pils you also need 1.2 kg of liquid malt extract to reach the right alcohol content. Malt extract gives the beer better flavour, body and mouthfeel than sugar or dextrose.

How much beer does it make, and how strong is it?

What is the difference between an extract kit and a Fresh Wort Kit?

An extract kit is hopped malt extract that you mix with water. A Fresh Wort Kit is finished wort brewed by a brewery, which you simply pour into the fermenter along with the yeast. The beer is much better with a Fresh Wort Kit, so if you are considering an extract kit, try a Fresh Wort Kit instead.
