 BIRKBY
BITTER is Brupaks’ entrant in the session
beer category. Less hoppy and slightly
sweeter than Colne Valley Bitter, it has just the right
balance of malt sweetness and hop bitterness to keep you
wanting more. Brews 40 pints.
COLNE
VALLEY BITTER is a true classic in the tradition
of full flavoured English Bitters. With the emphasis on
hop flavour rather than bitterness, and its perfect blend
of malts, this beer with satisfy the most discerning of
real ale enthusiasts. Brews 40 pints.
FIXBY GOLD is a beautiful
golden ale with a distinctive hop and grain character. It works well as a
draught ale but is even better when bottled and allowed to age for at
least 2 months.
ALMONDBURY OLD is a traditional Old Ale, a style which has enjoyed a
renaissance among the new breed of micro brewers. It
is a rich tawny ale with a subtle roasted malt flavour
and a distinct hop character in the style of the Old
Ales' of fifty years ago, darker and richer
than a Bitter but lighter and hoppier than a Brown Ale or
Porter. This beer style has a wide appeal, especially
with younger drinkers. Brews 40 pints.
SPECIAL LAGER is the only lager
beer in the range. It has a soft palate and a delicate hop bitterness
which makes it very more-ish. A genuine bottom fermenting yeast is
included for authenticity
LINTHWAITE LIGHT has been designed for those
who prefer a light, refreshing beer which is neither
bitter nor sweet. The combination of its delicate flavour
and its beguiling appearance will prove irresistible.
Linthwaite Light will also make a delicious lager if cold
fermented with a lager yeast. Brews 40 pints.
FURTHER INFORMATION
These are more than just beer kits they are CONCENTRATED BREWERS
WORTS. Production
follows traditional brewhouse procedures using only the
finest quality 2-row malting barley and the choicest
English hops. The grist (crushed malt) is 'mashed' with
water at 65°C for about one hour to convert the starches
into sugar. The resultant liquid (wort) is strained off
into a boiling vessel where hops are added for
bitterness. After boiling, extra hops are added for
flavour and aroma. In a commercial brewery the wort would
be cooled rapidly to around 20°C, then transferred to a
fermentation vessel where it is transformed into beer. As the worts are to be fermented at home, they first need to
be reduced to a convenient size for the home beermaker to
carry. To achieve this, the excess liquid is evaporated
under vacuum, at low temperatures to preserve the
delicate flavours, then pasteurised and canned. To
continue the brewing process at home, all that is
necessary is to dilute the concentrated wort back to its
original density and ferment! Extra hops are included to
restore aroma lost during production.
Included in the box are some advanced
instructions for those who like to experiment. Subtle
flavour differences can be achieved by adopting a few
advanced techniques e.g. bitterness adjustment,
sweetness, colour etc.
