All Grain Recipe Kits: Six Starter Recipes to Build and Brew
Six all-grain beer recipes, each written for a 23 litre batch. Every one opens in our Grain Bill Builder ready to brew or tweak, and we weigh and mill the grain to order in store. New to the builder? Read how our Grain Bill Builder works.
The numbers for each recipe are the builder's own estimates for 23 litres at 72% brewhouse efficiency. Your results will depend on your system, crush, mash and water.
Aussie Pale Ale
A golden, easy-drinking pale ale built on Australian ale malt with a little Vienna and Caramalt for colour and body. All the hops are Galaxy, the Australian variety known for its passionfruit and citrus character, used for bittering, late in the boil and as a dry hop.

Irish Red Ale
A copper-red, malt-forward ale. Red X malt gives most of the colour, Crystal adds caramel sweetness and a small amount of roasted barley dries the finish. Northern Brewer and Fuggles keep the hops in the background, with S-04 English ale yeast.

Dry Stout
A black, dry stout on a Maris Otter base. Roasted barley brings the coffee-like dryness, chocolate malt rounds it out and rolled wheat helps the head and body. One bittering addition of Northern Brewer and S-04 English ale yeast keep it simple.

A juicy, hazy IPA. Rolled wheat and Golden Naked Oats give the soft body and haze, and most of the hops go in late: Citra and Mosaic in the whirlpool and again as a dry hop, over a small Galaxy bittering charge. Fermented with a New England style yeast.
