The Muntons Flagship Home Brew Kit Range is the premium tier of the Muntons family — and a significant step up from standard extract kits. Where most kits use generic hopped extract, the Flagship range includes real loose hop pellets and carefully crafted malt profiles that deliver genuine craft beer character in every batch.
Muntons are one of the UK's most respected maltsters, malting barley in Suffolk since 1921. Their Flagship kits represent the very best of what extract brewing can produce: clean, hoppy, well-attenuated beers that will genuinely impress. Each kit makes approximately 40 pints at £29.95 — around 75p per pint for craft-quality beer.
Available in seven styles: Hazy IPA, West Coast IPA, American Pale Ale, Milk Stout, American Amber Ale, Citra Wheat Beer, and Kölsch.
About the Beer Styles
- Hazy IPA — A New England-style Hazy IPA with intense citrus and tropical fruit aromas, a soft pillowy mouthfeel, and a hazy golden appearance. Do not add beer finings — the haze is the point. One of the most impressive kits we stock.
- West Coast IPA — Crisp, bitter, and aggressively hopped in the classic West Coast American style. Resinous pine and citrus aromas, dry finish, clear golden colour.
- American Pale Ale — Approachable and balanced with floral, citrus hop character and a clean malt backbone. A great entry point into the Flagship range.
- Milk Stout — Rich and creamy with lactose sweetness, chocolate and roasted malt notes, and a velvety smooth texture. A standout dark beer kit.
- American Amber Ale — Malty and caramel-forward with Cascade and Centennial hops delivering floral citrus aromas. Full-bodied and deeply satisfying.
- Citra Wheat Beer — A refreshing, hazy wheat beer loaded with Citra hop character. Bright citrus aroma, soft mouthfeel, and low bitterness.
- Kölsch — A clean, crisp German-style pale ale with delicate hop character and a dry, refreshing finish. Best served cold.
What's Included
Each kit contains a 3kg premium malt extract pouch, loose hop pellets, and yeast. Full instructions included. Add water and ferment for 10–14 days. For the Hazy IPA especially, use the hops as a dry hop addition after primary fermentation for the best aroma.
What Equipment Do You Need?
A 25-litre fermentation vessel, airlock, hydrometer, siphon, and bottles or barrel. Our home brew starter kits cover everything. Use a good no-rinse sanitiser like StarSan — hop-forward beers like these are particularly unforgiving of contamination.
Tips for Best Results
- Add the hop pellets as a dry hop 2–3 days before the end of fermentation for maximum aroma
- For the Hazy IPA, skip finings entirely — clarity is not the goal
- Use a neutral ale yeast like Mangrove Jack's M44 or Fermentis S-05 for cleaner hop expression
- Condition for at least 10 days in the bottle before drinking
