What's in the bundle

Tasting notes

A low-ABV classic — dark, malty and smooth with gentle roast and a soft, sessionable finish.

How to brew

  1. Sanitise all your equipment thoroughly.
  2. Stand the can in warm water, then empty the can and brew enhancer into your fermenter.
  3. Add hot water and stir to dissolve, then top up with cold water to 23 litres and mix well.
  4. Check the wort is around 20–24°C, then sprinkle the Craft Series yeast on top.
  5. Add the hop blend as directed, fit the lid and airlock, and ferment somewhere warm and stable.
  6. Ferment for around 1–2 weeks until the gravity is stable, then bottle or keg with priming sugar.
  7. Condition for at least two weeks (the longer the better), then chill and enjoy.
